Hey, I'm trying to authorize my new laptop with my iTunes account. How would I go about doing this?

Hi Michael1296,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are the steps to authorize a computer in iTunes:
How do I authorize a computer?
Open iTunes on the computer you want to authorize.
Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
You might need to show the menu barto see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
If your Apple ID uses an expired MobileMe account, you can still use it to authorize your computer.
If iTunes asks you to authorize your computer again, it won't use a new authorization. iTunes uses the same authorization for the same computer.
You can find these steps and more information at this link:
Authorize your computer using iTunes
All the best,
Jeremy

HT1420 I'm trying to authorize a new computer with an itune account, but my the computer statea that I have too many devices authorized. I only have 2 computers in my possession now. How can I deauthorize computer I don't have anymore without deauthorizin

I have recently purchased a new lap top. Both my wife and I share our Itune music. When I purchesed the computer I was able to authorize my itunes account on it and move my purchaced music over from my iphone. However, I was not able to move my wifes music over because she has too many devices authorized under her account. Most of those computers are no longer in our possession and have been thrown out. How can she deauthorzise computer we don't have in our possession anymore without deauthorizing them all?

Authorizing deauthorizing has NO effect at all on your itunes library. You lose nothing.
You should also alwasy have a backup copy.
You MUST deauthorize all.
You have the only answer there is.

TS1389 I have been trying to authorize my new computer for my itunes account for several days. When I type the correct log in and user name I receive the error message "The itunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

I want to access my songs, but Itunes won't let me. I continue to receive the same message.

Here is how I solved it on my Macs as well as Windows.
Here is for the Mac:
- Quit iTunes
- Go to Safari and open Safari preferences (in the Safari/Preferences menu)
- Navigate to the privacy tab.
- Choose to "Always" block cookies (you can change that back once the issue is solved)
- Click "Details" below "Remove All Website Data"
- Type apple.com in the search field
- Select apple.com and click the remove button
- Check that the apple.com line does not re-appear (it shouldn't, but if it ever does, quit and relaunch Safari and start over)
- Quit Safari
- Launch iTunes
- Connect to your iTunes account
- Smile :-)
Here is for Windows 7 (must be similar for other Windows versions):
- Quit iTunes (and Safari if you have it)
- Openan Explorer window ("My Computer" for example)
- Well hidden in the upper bar under "Organize" choose "Folder and search options"
- In the "view" tab, make sure that "Show hidden files, folders and drives" is checked and click OK
- Navigate to C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\Cookies or YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\Cookies if that is easier
- Delete everything in that folder
- (I am not sure this is necessary) you might want to also trash items in the YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Cookies folder
- Launch iTunes
- Connect to your iTunes account
- Smile :-)
Please tell me if that works for Mac and PC (I tried other things before those instructions so an extra step might have been involved)

Need help on how to help my sister register her new nano and add music to it on my computer. I have my on nano already on my computer registered and set up but she and I don't listen to the same music so how would I go about doing this?

I'm trying to find out information on how to go about helping my sister to register her new nano and load on CD's and such. I have a nano and already know how to do this but she is from CA and we want to load it here on my computer. She will be going home in 2 weeks and wants to use it in the car for the ride home.We don't listen to the same kind of music so I don't want to use my library but do one of her own for her. Also she will want to add this library on to her computer at home. I'm 60 and my sister is 70 I have enough knowledge to do some things on the computer but am not real computer smart. My sister is just learning about everything but has no idea what to do with that knowledge. Can anyone give me and idea on how to do this that I can get a grasp of what needs to be done to do this? My nephew says it's easy but he's in Az and I'm here. He also helps people with computers so he is more knowledgeable than I am. Would appreciate any help on this. thx

How do i associate my new mac with my itunes account?

I was trying to download a movie from icloud that I bought on itunes. it said that this device was not associated with my itunes account. how do I do that? I thought if I just logged into my account from this device it would do it.

If the Mac is brand new you will need to authorize it, as well as sign into the store. In iTunes pull down Store > Authorize and enter your iTunes Store account AppleID credentials.

" how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
You cannot. Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.
