  • How to authorize my new computer for iTunes

    how to authorize my new computer?

    Hi
    The process to activate a computer in itunes is similar for Mac and Windows.
    On the Mac OS X start iTunes. Click on Store in the menu bar and choose authorize this computer.  In the text Field enter your apple id username and password and click ok. You should receive a message stating “Including this one you have authorized X computers out of your available 5”, Where X is the number of devices you have authorized with your apple ID.
    Please note that you can authorize maximum 5 computers with the same apple id.
    That means you can play the content you purchased with that Apple ID on up to 5 computers.
    The detailed information regarding how to authorize/deauthorize can be found at :

    I cannot authorize my new computer in iTunes because I hit the 5 device limit. However, I cannot deauthorize the old one because it's gone. I also cannot use the deauthorize all computers button because I did last year when I was replacing computers. Is there any other way of deauthorizing computers that no longer exist?

    If you no longer have, or access to, the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
    Log in to iTunes,  go to "view your account info" on the itunes store, deauthorise all five,
    (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months)
    Then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time..

  • How to authorize my new PC to DL my music on icloud?

    How do I authorize my new pc to dl music on my icloud account?

    You don't download music from your iCloud account unless you are an iTuens Match subscriber.  You redownload it from the iTunes store.  Open iTunes on your computer, sign in with the Apple ID you used to purchase the music (Store>Sign In), authorize your computer for the ID (Store>Authorize This Computer), then follow the directions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
    Note: when you do this, your computer becomes associated with the ID and you cannot download previous purchases from another ID for 90 days.

  • HT1420 Trying to authorize my new mac with iTunes....

    I think I might have a newer version of itunes than that of the version used in apple's directions on how to authorize a computer. I do not have a store menu (or a menu bar at all along the top of my itunes.)
    How do I authorize my computer?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The menu bar is at the top of the screen on a Mac.

  • How do perform a new install of iTunes on C drive, but locate the library on a second internal drive?

    I realize this topic has been kind of beat to death, but I'm not finding exactly the information I'm searching for. There is a lot of information about splitting libraries, but I want to do a new install, and have my media located on a separate drive, with nothing but the software on the C drive.
    I have a pretty massive music library (noting new or special about that), so an new install of iTunes is always a huge chore. Like many other users in posts I've read with similar questions, my C drive is SSD (also have another dedicated to something else entirely), and so I have purchased a standard spinning drive to handle my iTunes media, and externals for everything that isn't meant for iTunes. Basically, I need the library database to be located on my 'E' drive (let's say), and I will move most of my files manually. I just need iTunes to find them after doing so, and then I'll simply resync my iPhone to the new setup. I have a few reservations about that, but that is a different topic.Right now, I just need to get iTunes installed and have it recognize/find media on a separate drive. Also, I'm running Windows 7, 64-bit, in case that is relavant.
    Sorry if there are a million thread with the same info, but all I was finding was how to split the library, and that's not at all what I want to achieve. Thanks in advance!

    hello again Chris - I hope you're able to help, or someone as knowledgeable.
    I've started another discussion because installing this newest version of iTunes has caused problems like I've never encountered.
    - I did a fresh install as I intended (new PC running Win 7 64-bit). Installation is smooth, and opens fine. Then I create the new library on "I" drive, iTunes then stalls when opening. I just tried this again, and it has been unresponsive for ~10 min, not fully open.
    - I see the new library just fine when I peek in the "I"drive.
    - In a previous attempt, I used an existing library file, iTunes still stalls, though it loaded the content. It just freezes when I enter the store. The content loaded fine. Still, couldn't access new material or materials I've purchased and won't download after installing and trying to access iTunes store.
    -each time I try, I unstall every connected program to iTunes, even removing items from registry.
    I'm seriously perplexed. I've been using iTunes since 2005 and have never had any kind of issue like this. this PC is a gaming rig. Top of the line components all the way. I even cancled overclock settings to make sure that wasn't the culprit. Still no joy. I had iTunes installed on this machine about 3 months back, but since "C" drive is SSD, I uninstalled until I recently purchased a standard HD specifically for media content. While writing this, it just brough up the tutorial. I click an option (iTunes in the Cloud) just to see if it moves ahead. It does nothing. I have to minimize the browser to access. Apple no longer offers support - they want me to pay to help with free software for which I've already spent loads of money on for content. This is absolutely insane. What has changed in the last few months to make this software behave this way? Previous versions HAVE worked on this machine. I simply couldn't contain the library on my drive. No help was offed on my other post. I'm desparate at this point. Please. Someone from the community or Apple help me. I've got literally several thousands of dollars of media that I cannot access on my PC. ****, the OS is lean and I barely have any software installed. This makes no sense at all. Sorry that I'm all over the place. I've been working for hours on a problem with BitCoin miners on another machine and combine with iTunes (which should be simple compared to the DIY component of mining hardware and software...which I'm actually able to solve!!!), and I'm fried and defeated. need sleep. Thanks in advance.

  • How to update a new laptop with iTunes from iPad 2?

    I have recently bought a new laptop and when I've opened iTunes on it, hardly any of my music etc is on it. How do I sync all my devices?
    I have seen the iTunes match but do not want to purchase that. Is there a way for all my devices to be synced and to automatically update after each new purchase?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello 2012Nano
    For any purchases that are made through the iTunes Store, you can setup Automatic downloads for most purchases to be downloaded to either your computer or iOS device. Check out the article below for more information on how to set that up.

  • I can't seem to locate the Store menu in order to 'Authorize' my new laptop for iTunes.

    I need to Authorize my new laptop (Windows 8). I can't seem to locate the Store menu in which it's indicated I should find the Authorize function. Can anyone point direct me to it?
    Thanks!

    Hello dlmpsu85,
    The menu bar can be temporarirly shown by pressing and releasing the 'Alt' key on your keyboard. You can also have the menu bar shown permanently, the process for which is detailed in the following article.

  • How do I get new playlists in iTunes match?

    I've been signed up for iTunes match for over a year, but only recently got an iPhone and Apple TV. Only my older playlists show up in the music section - how do I get new ones up?

    I did see this yes, I also spent about 20 minutes on the phone finally with a technical support person at Apple who told me to restart and reset my phone which got rid of the few playlists I'd somehow managed to keep on my phone, and also got me off his back because I had to hang up with him to do so....useless.

  • I changed my password on Airport Express and now can't connect in iTunes. It does not ask for password ,I just see trying to connect and it fails. How do I enter new password in iTunes when it just keeps trying to connect ?

    When I select the Airport Express as Remote Speaker in Itunes I just see trying to connect and it can't connect.
    I changed my password on the Airport and I don't see where I can put in the new password in Itunes.
    This problem is on my Imac. On my Mac Pro a window came up asking for password to connect because it was the first time.
    I can connect on the Mac Pro but not my Imac.

    Update on my problem connecting in Itunes with my Airport Express. Not sure if anything I tried made a difference
    but I finally got the Pop up window saying this device requires a Password. I entered the password and I can once again use the Airport Express as a remote speaker.
