HELP - PLAYING PURCHASED GAMES ON MY COMPUTER

I purchased Tetris for my son's 30GB iPod and was wondering how I can get it to play on my computer. I went to the iTunes site, clicked on "store" and authorized the computer but I still have no idea how to get it to play. Any help or suggestions? Thanx.

The games you purchase from the itunes store only play on the 5th gen ipod (video ipod). You can see them in itunes, but they will not play.
Here is an FAQ from the apple website on games downloaded from the itunes store.

  • How do I play purchased games on my computer?

    Anyone know how I can play games purchased for my iPod on my computer? I purchased Tetris, downloaded it to my iPod but I want to play on the computer. Someone advised me that you cannot play purchased games on the computer. Anyone know if this is true? I authorized the computer already but no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

    Sadly, it is not possible to play games downloaded for the iPod from iTunes on your computer. They can only be played on the 5th Gen iPods (iPod video's)

  • I Tunes will not ley me play purchased songs from a computer that is broken, and from a previous e-mail address. I am at my wits end, as whenevr I try to authorise the computer I am using with my dead e-mail address. Any suggestions please?

    i Tunes will not let me play purchased songs from a computer that is broken, and which has a previous e-mail address. I am at my wits end, as whenever I try to play the songs I receive a message to authorise the computer I am using with my dead e-mail address. I end up in a mess, changing I-Ds, etc. I have paid an IT company to sort  things out, with some success, but still I keep getting thiese messages. Surely iTunes should be less complex than this. I am not brilliant with IT, but not at all stupid. Any suggestions please?

    Well, mostly for Game Playing, you'd want to use Boot Camp & Install Windows, but slower action games can be played in Windows using one of these...

  • How do I authorize my new computer to play purchases from an old computer with an old apple ID with a forgotten password

    I have an old Apple ID/e-mail on my old laptop with a password that I no longer remember and can't reset. How can I change this so that I can listen to my old purchases on my new computer with new apple ID.

    You need to contact Apple. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

  • Play purchased music on "unauthorized computer"

    Hi all,
    I just got home from school and I am trying to sync my iTunes with my sister's iTunes. She bought some songs that I wanted and I am trying to copy them to my computer, but when I do, I cannot play them on my computer. It says that I need to authorize my computer. Only problem is that all 5 authorizations are used and neither of my computers is one of them. Is there a way that I can get them to play on my computer? I never had this problem in the past, but I may think that it has something to do with her computer.
    I am also noticing this with my movies that were digital copies from BluRays that I downloaded.

    Computers have to be authorized to play protected files. No authorization, no playing, and no workaround (obviously, or there would be no point in having the authorization in the first place).
    You are allowed a maximum of five authorized computers, so you will have to remove the authorization from one of the others if you want to proceed.

  • Trouble playing purchased songs on new computer

    I just recently got a new computer. After installing iTunes, I authorized the computer and began the incredibly tedious process of downloading all of my music. After two songs, suddenly nothing would happen. It wouldn't play a single song (over iCloud or from the computer) no matter what. Any suggestions?

    I tried one of the other IPODS under a diffent acct and it says that 100 songs could not be synced because they could not be found but the songs are on the IPOD

  • Can't play purchased songs even on an authorized computer.  I have tried all the fixes with no help.

    I just recently purchased a new computer running Windows 7 64 bit.  I downloaded the latest edition of itunes, and transfered all of my old itunes purchases from my XP computer onto this new computer.  The problem that I am having is that I am being prompted for my password everytime I try to play purchases on this new computer, even though I get a message telling me that this computer is already authorized to play purchases under this account.  Whenever I try to play the song, I keep getting this same message everytime I enter my password.  It also seems I am unable to deauthorize the machines that were authorized using one of the old accounts that I made purchases on in the past.  When I go into my itunes account under the username and try to "deauthorize all computers" nothing happens, and it still tells me that I have 5 out of the available 5 computers authorized, even after I try to deauthorize all of them.  I have mainly noticed the problem on the older songs that I purchased.  Most of the recently purchased songs don't re-prompt me for my password when trying to play them.  I have tried all the suggested fixes on the support webpage such as deleting the "SC" folder and changing the security slider settings, but the problem keeps coming up.  Can anyone offer a suggestion on how to fix this problem and how to try again to deauthorize all computers and then reauthorize this particular new computer running Windows 7?  Thanks for the help!

    Oh, and I checked here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3939 and you are correct!
    I do have an iPhone 3G not a 3GS.
    So does that mean that I cannot get any later software than iOS 4.2?

  • Upgraded Computer Routinely Crashes when playing Video games

    I had an "HP Pavilion HPE-150f Desktop PC" for a few years, but about a year and a half ago, I upgraded the graphics card and the power supply. My new power supply was a Corsair TX 650, and my new graphics card was an
    ATI Radeon HD6970 Sapphire. Everything went fine until about a month ago (so I had about a year of smooth sailing with this setup). 
    Usually after 5-10 mins of playing any video game, my computer starts getting hic-hupc (visual and audio lag, as well as input lag), and crashes soon after.
    This problem tends to happen most when playing video games, but it also happens at random times when I am not doing anything demanding on my computer.
    I get short bits of lag (visual, and sound lag). It starts up at distanced intrevals, but slowly gets more frequent. Eventually, the computer either freezes, or I get a blue screen.
    I have cleaned up the dust in my computer numerous times. It didn't really help.
    I have updated drivers after doing a full system restore on my computer (along with updating other windows related things), that did not help either.
    I thought getting the drivers updated had solved my problem, but when I was playing a video game today I ran into the same issue. Which video game it is is not really a detail, since this happens with almost all games.
    I had originally thought this was related to CPU temperatures, but I installed a program that monitors that and everything was within the 40-50 degree range. I'm told this is normal from my friends who get higher temperatures and yet do not run into this problem. 
    I'm on windows 7.
    I will provide more info if needed. This problem has been ongoing for a few months now.
    TL;DR:
    Computer randomly starts lagging-up/freezing. I sometimes get a blue screen and I sometimes don't (meaning I have to restart the machine myself). 
    Problem happens more often when I am gaming, but it can also happen randomly at any given time.
    Thanks in advance to any who can help.
    In the next post I will give some info about my machine.

    Here is the info of what I have:
    1. Intel Core I7 (It also says: "860 @2.80GHz 2.80Hz" in the ControlPanel->System and Security -> System tab)
    2. ATI Radeon HD6970 Sapphire
    3. Win7 64bit
    4. Driver for Catalyst: Version 12.104.0.0 (for the GPU)
    5. Corsair TX 650
    6. 8.00 GB of RAM
    7. i) The computer did come with the OS (win7 64bit), but it wasn't updated. To update it, I went to the search bar in the START menu and typed something along the lines of "Windows update", which took me to a seperate window, where I could let the computer update itself.
       ii) The original product did not have the Power Supply it currently has, or The graphics card it currently has. I bought those two myself to modify the machine.
    The original product was a "HP Pavilion HPE-150f Desktop PC". I believe that is the name for it. The System tab in control panel simply says "HPE-150f"
    8. Monitor resolution 1920x1080, connected by DVI connector.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
    I also used a program called Speccy, which gives you info about your computer. 
    About my BIOS, Speccy said:
    Brand:    American Megatrends Inc.
    Version: 5.15
    Date:     25/06/2010
    So I went to the following site and updated my BIOS:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=ca&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4063&product=4120554&softw...
    It didn't help anything, I still get the exact same crashing.
    Lastly, here is an image of the blue screen I am getting:
    I also made a thread on the AMD support forums for my GPU's manufacturer, That thread can be found here:
    http://forums.amd.com/game/messageview.cfm?catid=443&threadid=167863&enterthread=y
    Thanks in advance to any who can help. I can provide more info if needed.

  • I'm getting this error message  "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPod '___'s iPod.' Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?" I have authorized the computer.

    I just purchased songs on itunes, I can play them on my windows 7, but when I try to sync the ipod, I get the error "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items on "Stephanie's ipod" Would you like to authorize this computer for purchases from the itunes store.  When I authorize it, it says it is already authorized. Then the process starts all over again. Help.

    You can't change the Apple ID that the Authorize dialog comes up with by default. It's showing you that Apple ID for a reason: it means that the items you want to play were purchased using that Apple ID and therefore you need to authorize your computer with that Apple ID. Changing the Apple ID given completely defeats the entire purpose.
    If you don't know the password to the given Apple ID, then you will no longer be able to play those items.

  • Help setting up my Linksys E2000 to play a game

    I just recently bought a Linksys E2000 router. Works great while searching the internet and such.. But I get huge lag spikes while playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.  I know its not my computer. When I take it to work and hook up to my jobs wireless connection I can play lag free. Also if I disconnect the router and hook up directly to my cable modem I can play lag free.  SO I am fairly certain that the problem lies in my router settings..  Can any of you help me out? I don't have the slightest idea how to set up a router. I know the game says my Nat needs to be completely open while playing the game and that I should forward certain ports. I have no clue how to do either of that.. I will copy and paste some instructions from the forums for the game for you all to see. Thanks in advance for  any ideas.

    Required Ports for Modern Warfare 2
    In addition to the required ports for Steam, Modern Warfare 2 requires the following ports for multiplayer:
    UDP 1500 (outbound only, no forward needed)
    UDP 3005 (outbound only, no forward needed)
    UDP 3101 (outbound only, no forward needed)
    UDP 28960 (inbound/outbound, must forward to act as a multi-player host, but no forward or inbound traffic needed to find and join games)
    Steam Client
    UDP 27000 to 27015 inclusive (Game client traffic)
    UDP 27015 to 27030 inclusive (Typically Matchmaking and HLTV)
    TCP 27014 to 27050 inclusive (Steam downloads)
    Dedicated or Listen Servers
    TCP 27015 (SRCDS Rcon port)
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You don't really have to set up a static IP for your computer. All you got to do is reserve that IP in DHCP reservation on your router. Get the MAC address of your computer, put that in the DHCP reservation located on the setup page under Basic Settings. Choose the IP you want, within the scope of DHCP. Make sure to save it. So everytime you connect to the router, it will assign that IP to your computer.

  • Help me please, games crash on launch, youtube videos won't play.

    Whenever i start up sound blaster cinema it just crashes, it will be fine for about 10 seconds, then it just crashes, it will usually freeze up everything when it crashes only thing i can do is move my cursor around, it will unfreeze after 10 seconds or so as well.
    I have tried to update sound blaster cinema but there are not updates available.
    It would usually go back to normal after a shutdown or a restart but this time it wasn't having any of it.
    Can anyone suggest anything that i couldn't think of?
    The crashing first started a month+ ago, but today when I was playing L4D2 a boomer explosion crashed L4D2 and sound blaster cinema simultaneously and now sound blaster cinema won't stop crashing after launch.
    (Edit)
    I can't launch any games, i try to play the game osu! and it launches normally except the screen turns black and then it crashes. i try to launch steam and login but the login menu wont pop
    I can't even play a youtube video, the background of the video will show but the video won't play, it's not buffering but the video is loading.
    windows media player won't launch as well, videos on my computer will not play at all.

    (FIXED)
    I went and downloaded thee intel(R) driver update utility 2.0 went to find drivers and then to auto detect and updated my drivers.
     This is the driver that helped me. vvvv
    ( Iris, irispro, and hd graphics driver for windows*7/8/8.1 version 15.36.19.64.41.70 )
    Sound blaster cinema doesn't crash on launch anymore, neither does my game osu! and youtube videos now play.
