How do I authorize my new laptop so I can use my music from cloud?

I bought a new latop recently and I downloaded Itunes. Once it was downloaded the Cloud kicked in once I logged into my AppleID. But it won't let me play anything until my computer is authorized through the account. I have no idea how too do that. Help me please?

    Authorization
    iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.
    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.

  • New Laptop and I can't transfer music.

    I just bought a new laptop. I've installed the software and I've connected my Ipod Mini. It brought up a message once saying "this ipod is registered to another computer do you want to change it to this computer" Please be aware that I am paraphrasing. My old computer hasn't crashed. How can I get my songs from my old one, onto my new laptop. I did back my music up on a Seagate hard drive. Please help.

    Snowman21,
    I have the same problem. My old comp crashed (emachine) so I have to buy a new one. Unfortunately, I never do back-ups (not that technical). When I downloaded the new itunes in this new comp, it took my ipod, but my library is now empty. Fortunately, I have a folder in my pod "library" and that contains all of my songs in my library, but I tried to move those files to the library and it would not let me. If you get an answer, post it man, you'd definitely be helping me.
    Thanks,

    If you're running Mac OS X, move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store, and choose Authorize this Computer.
    If you're running Windows, 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.

  • How can I transfer music from my iPod to a new laptop?

    I recently got a new laptop because my old laptop, in which all of my music is in, is about to break down. So just about a few days ago my laptop just died, i cannot turn it on, and all of my music is in there. How can i transfer all of my music onto my new laptop using my ipod, and how will I be able to keep downloading music on my new laptop. Thanks!

    You still got your music in your iPod? There is a way to transfer it to your new laptop.
    You can simply transfer music from iPod to computer with a handy tool called iOS Transfer.
    iOS Transfer is a program specifically designed to deal with problem of transformation between iPod and Computer.

  • I have 2 Apple IDs.  I also have a new laptop.  I have tons of music on my old laptop.  I want to transfer the music from my old laptop to my new laptop, but I don't want the music actually on my new computer.  Is there a way to have the music in iCloud?

    I am wanting to have my music available to me, but not actually on the new laptop (like my iPhone is set up to do).  I suppose I am wanting to know if I can transfer, or authorize my new laptop to have all of my music in iCloud, but not actually in iTunes on the laptop?  I want it available to me, but I have over 7000 songs and I don't want to use all the room on my new laptop.  Can someone please help?

    You can only deauthorize everything to do that. Click on Account under Quick Links. You can deauthorize all five there. But you can only do this once a year.

    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,
