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.

    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.

    You have to authorize the computer in iTunes. Launch iTunes and go to Store>Authorize this computer from the menu at the top of the screen. You will have to enter your Apple ID and password.

    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.

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

    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 use 2 ipod touches with 1 itunes account?

    how do i use 2 ipod touches with 1 itunes account?  can they share apps and music etc. I'm not very good at any tech so advise would be much appreciated.

    Yes. You can sync an unlimited number of iDvies that you control to one iTunes library/account. If using the same iTunes library on the same comutr just make sure that yu go to the ap. music and other pane for the iPod in iTunes and select sycn selected items. Not the the whole library.  That way each iPod can have it own contents.

  • HT201272 How do I sync my ipod Nano with my itunes account

    I recently found my old ipod Nano and I want to sync it with my itunes account but I am having trouble. 

    What problems are you having ? You should be able to sync your content to it by connecting it to your computer and selecting it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (on iTunes11 you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC) and then using the tabs on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to sync your content to it
    Syncing music : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351
    In terms of the page that you posted from for redownloading content, then what you can redownload with depend upon what country that you are in (not all content types can be redownloaded in all countries), and whether they are still in the store (content providers occasionally remove their items from sale). What you can redownload will show under the Purchased link Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.

  • 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.

    Hi
    I have a new MacBook and I'm now trying to download music from my iTunes account onto it. I've got as far as the list of all my downloaded music and when I click "download all", it tells me that this computer is not authorised. I've tried going into my account and adding it as an authorised computer, but can't find anywhere to do it!
    Can anyone explain in reeeeaaally simple terms how to do this?
    Thanks

  • New Nano with existing itunes account

    I lost my Nano and just bought a new one. Is there anything special I need to do to make sure my ipod syncs with existing itunes? Can I just plug the usb connector into my desktop and it will download all my music on itunes onto my new Nano? Any help is appreciated.

    Yes, just plug it in.
    It will go thru the registration and then sync everything.
