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.

  • HT203604 How do I authorize a new iMac to access purchases

    How do I authorize a new iMac to access purchases with my apple ID in App store??
    iMac 27" Intel Quad i5/2.7Ghz
    (iMac 12.2-i5)  Model A1312
    8g RAM  1Tb HD
    Yosemite 10.1.1
    App Store V2.0

    Sorry for late reply... I should have been more specific, for I had tried to authorize my new iMac several times without success... Realized I needed to de-authorize a much older mac that was in another room. Then ~ yup, problem solved.

  • Authorising second computer to play purchases from ITunes

    I now find that I cannot play songs purchased from ITunes on second computer, this has just happened recently. These were purchased using my old E-MAIL address and it keeps asking me to authorise using the old e-mail and  password for that account which I cannot remember. Apple cannot send me an e-mail to reset my password to that address as it is no longer in use.
    It won't let me authorise using my new ID and password. Can anybody tell me how I can solve this.
    Many Thanks

    Found out the bad news awhile back that I can no longer purchase from the iTunes store because I am using the Jaguar operating system which will not take iTunes 7. OK, got over that. Then today I tried to move a song purchased at work on a newer computer to my old one. Surprise, surprise. Won't even let you do that. Is there a way to rip the M4P file so I can play it at home?

    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.

  • How do I authorize my new PC to purchase from itunes store? (it says go to Store menu and choose Authorize Computer but i don't see that option anywhere)

    How do I authorize my new PC to purchase from itunes store? It prompts me to go to STORE menu, then choose Authorize this Computer (which i don't see anywhere) or Advanced (which I don't see anywhere).

    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:

    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
