" 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.

How can I authorize a new computer when my iMac account has changed?

For several years, my iTunes account was listed under my former email address. I now have a different computer and I am using my iMac address for my account, When I attempt to play tunes that I purchased and downloaded under the former account, I get a message that says I must authorize this computer.If I try to authorize the new computer using the old account, I get a message that account no longer exists (which is true). If I try to authorize using the new account, I get a message telling me this computer is already authorized (also true). But it still won't let me play songs authorized under the old account! Any suggestions????

HT5622 How can I authorize a new computer (with windows 8) without deauthorizing my other computers (windows 7) . Under manage your account the only choice given is to deauthorize all computers already authorized

I just bought a new computer with windows 8. I have 2 other computers (windows 7) authorized for itunes. When I go to manage your account the only choice I am give is to deauthorize all computers. There is no place from which to authorize this new computer or to deauthorize the 1 computer that is dead rather than both. Suggestions appreciated

To authorize the Windows 8 computer, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.
It isn't possible to individually deauthorize a computer which is dead or which you don't have either physical or network access to.

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.

How can I authorize my new computer (win7 prof 64bit) on ADE 3.0 (previous Win XP; ADE 2.0)?

how can I authorize my new computer (win7 prof 64bit) on ADE 3.0 (previous Win XP; ADE 2.0)?

Two things worth trying ..
~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~
Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.
In extreme cases on the mac, the following extra step has helped some people. Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash. If you are using 10.7, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1265248?tstart=0
~~~~~~~~~~
There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0. Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

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

How do I authorize my new computer with Windows 8?

I recently recieved a new computer (A notebook PC) with windows 8 and I decided that I would like for it to have all of my purchases from Itunes on it. I promptly downloaded the app, signed in, and attempted to download my music from my account. Then a message appeared stating that only authorized computers could download previous purchases from my account. I went to the website in search of a way to authorize this new computer, but to no avail. I was wondering if anyone could help me authorize my computer so that I can finally listen to my music. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks!

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

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.
Thank you

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.

When i plug in my ipod a message says I can only have one ipod per computer, but my last computer broke. How can I make my new computer my actual Itunes library?

when i plug in my itouch, a message pops up and says my ipod is already registered on another computer (my old computer that broke). How can I make it so that the message won't pop up again and i can freely sync songs from my computer to my itouch and vice versa?

Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

An iPod shuffle is not associated with an Apple ID in any way, so I don't understand what it is you're asking or being told. It's also very difficult to try and decode your post what with the total lack of punctuation. Please post back and explain in more detail - with punctuation, please - what it is you're having problems with. If you're having problems purchasing from the iTunes Store, as it seems from what I can glean from your post, that has nothing to do with your iPod.
Regards.

My old computer crashed, how do I make my new computer my main Itunes account? It's still looking for the other when I need to back up my other apple devices.

My old computer crashed and my itunes is on a new computer, but my I Pad and other devices keep waiting for me to hook up the old laptop for updates. How do I make my new laptop (windows) my primary I Tunes acct.?

It does not matter what the settings are for your iPod. iTunes syncing generally works in one direction only, from iTunes library to iPod. You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library
