How do you authorize computer to sync previous purchases to another ipad

Im trying to sync a few things from my itunes to my sons ipad. It is telling me that I cant download until I authorize the computer. How do I do that

If the computer's 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 the computer's 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 do you get iTunes to sync files purchased on another ipod

I am trying to sync my ipod with my computer, and there are files that were purchased for a different ipod on my computer. even though I authorize this computer to sync the files, iTunes won't add them to my iPod. Any suggestions?

Easy enough to sync iTunes albums to the iPad, but how about albums that currently exist only on the iPad?
If you are transferring photos from iPhoto on your Mac, you mean the iPhoto albums that are available to select under the Photos tab for your iPad sync preferences? if so, this is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPad.
iTunes does not handle the import of photos from your iPad, which can include photos imported from a digital camera or from a digital camera's storage card with the Camera Connection Kit, or a photo saved from a received email, from a website, or by a 3rd party app that is capable of saving a photo in the same location.
It sounds like the app developer has allowed for transferring photos saved by the app in the app's "Saved" area to your computer via an available wi-fi network that both your computer and iPad are connected to. Unless the app developer allows for saving the photos from the app's "Saved" area to the same location where a photo saved from a received email or from a website is stored, there is no way to import these photos via iPhoto or the Image Capture application on your Mac, which is used for importing photos, not iTunes.

My Mac Hard disk recently broke and was replaced. Now, although my computer is authorised in itunes store, it won't let me re-download purchased items (esp OSX Lion). How can I make computer re-download previous purchases?

Never mind - I didn't realize that I just needed to wait a while for the Cloud stuff to cycle through and load. Solved!

Hello bsmith1039,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can use these steps to authorize your computer to play and downlad iTunes Store purchases:
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 bar to 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.
From:

Best Regards,

How do you keep emails in sync on a laptop and iPad?

I have set up an orange.net email account on an iPad 3 for my mums friend. However she has said that when she reads or deletes emails on her iPad they still apear as unread on her laptop and the deleted emails also still apear in the inbox as unread. Is there any way you can change the settings so that any changes made on the iPad are saved onto the laptop?

The account needs to be setup as IMAP on both devices to stay "in sync". POP3 does not have this capability.
Contact Orange for their IMAP mail server settings.

How can I download apps I have already purchased to another iPad? When I try to do this the owner's ID pops up in the login window. Yesterday it gave me the option to use another ID, now it isn't dong that?

How can I share my apps? In other words transfer apps to someone else's iPad. It worked yesterday

Apps cannot be transfered from one account (AppleID) to another. Also, once you sign off of an ID on a device and add another, the previous ID cannot be used on that device for a period of time (90 days, I think?).
If you don't want this user to have access to everything on your AppleID, what you are trying to do is a bad idea.

Hi, How do you authorize your itunes account to download previous bought songs to my mac?

Hi,
I've been trying to give authorization to my mac so I can download my previous bought songs?

Ever since iTunes became (almost all) DRM-free, you won't need to authorize your computer to play previously purchased content. Just go to iTunes Store>Purchased and download what you want. Then enjoy!

How do you authorize access to itunes while blocking the access of the rest of the computer?

How do you authorize access to itunes while blocking the access of the rest of the computer? I want to do a party and let people have access to the music but I don't want them to look in my files. I have windows 7.
I cannot log off and let the music play. Ideally I would want to have a password for access to the rest of the computer.
Thank you!

I purchased music on my computer with old email address, same computer new email address, but I get play music becasue it tells me computer not authorized...how do you authorize???

I purchased music on my computer with old email address, same computer new email address, but I get play music becasue it tells me computer not authorized...how do you authorize???

I have almost the exact same problem. I have a bunch of music, ringtones, TV shows, movies... stuff that I purchased that I can't authorize. All of these items were purchased with the same account I'm still using now. The difference is that I've changed my email address. I don't have the original email address from when I made those purchases and I'm unable to authorize them. I can see that when I view info on one of these purchases the "Account Name: " has my old email address... not my iTunes or Apple account. So, if I'm authorizing my iTunes using my new email none of these older purchases will work.
I'm really curious how to fix this. I've got quite a few purchases from years back that I'd like access to, but I can't authorize using my new email/iTunes or my old email (the one used for the original purchases).
Take a look at the info and tell me if you see "Account Name:" on one of your purchases. And is that associated to your old email address? There has to be a way to fix this or 'transfer' older purchases, especially if it's all under the same real 'account'.

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:

I must authorize my computer before download previous purchase? what should i do next?

I just download Itunes in a "new Computer" but each song only plays for 1.30 minutes , so I understand that I have to place it i nthe cloud , when I try I git this winodw that says: you must authorize this computer before download previous purchases. Doesnt show me what do I have to do next

You can authorise your account via the Store drop-down menu at the top of iTunes (if you are using iTunes 11 on a PC then control-B should get the menus to show)
e.g.
You can't put songs into the cloud yourself unless you subscribe to iTunes Match and upload them from your computer's iTunes to it. If you want to redownload your iTunes purchased music then you might be able to via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (redownloading music isn't possible in all countries) :
Or you can copy your library from your old computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Or from your backup (File > Add To Library)
