    how to authorize computer in itunes for the purchased from another account ??

    Use that account's Apple ID and password; the procedure is otherwise the same as authorizing it for the first account. If the iTunes library contains protected content from more than five iTunes Store accounts, you may not be able to fully sync it.

    Authorization and Deauthorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    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.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    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.

  • ITunes messed up - how to restore iPod to iTunes?

    My father has asked for some help. He has an iPod, which was correctly sync'd to his iTunes on his Windows XP computer.
    However, some 'expert' came and messed with his computer. Now, his music is spread over a couple of folders, and the iTunes appears to have some duplicates. (His iTunes also no longer plays any music, but that can wait until we've resolved the first problem.)
    I'd like to help him completely clean up the mess and restore iTunes to a pristine condition, correctly sync'd with his iPod. I had a good look at his computer, but as I don't have iTunes or an iPod, I don't know what to do next!
    How can he...
    1. Wipe out everything from his iTunes (and from the folders) on the computer, and then:
    2. Restore his entire iPod into his iTunes on the computer to the correct iTunes folder, and:
    3. Correctly get the automatic sync working again?
    Obviously, I will back up the music that is already on his computer first, just in case!
    As an extra note, his iPod is currently set up completely correctly, as he wants it, so at this point he doesn't want any changes to the iPod. He only wants his iTunes to work again.
    Thank you to anyone who can offer advice.

    All you can do is to restore and thus erase the iPod unless you can get a data recovery company to preserve the data.
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • How to restore ipod via itunes while ipod is in disk mode?

    I am trying to restore my ipod via itunes. My ipod is corrupted and I can only connect it to the computer while the ipod is in disk mode. After ipod is connected and in disk mode, the first stage of restore via itunes begins, the bar appears, fills up and then disappears. Then my ipod seems to disconnect from the computer and begin an infinite reset loop algorithm. How do I successfully restore my ipod while it is in disk mode?

    I have the same problem, but my ipod stays in disk mode all the time. Won't show in iTunes.tried Apples suggestion to restore in disk utility, but no dice! I have tried everything and now I will give up, maybe it's too old?

  • How to authorize songs from ITunes account that no longer exists

    I have 26 songs in my iTunes library that I cannot play on my iMac and cannot synch with my 2nd gen Nano because they are not authorized for this computer. These files were purchased under an account that no longer exists, on a Windows computer I no longer own. I've long ago forgotten the password for that account and the e-mail account associated with that itunes account no longer exists.
    So, how do I authorize my current iMac (running OS X, iTunes 10) to play and synch these songs?
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Hello coastiechris,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    About your only option at this point is to contact iTunes support on this one. If you cannot remember the password, there are no other options. Sorry.

  • Easier was to authorize iPod with iTunes music?

    I posted this on iTunes group on Sat. 9/22, but no answer - so I'll try here -
    I have always had my iTunes Music Folder on an external hard drive – when I got my 1st 20 GB iPod, I was using an iMac G3 with a 12GB HD, so I bought an external Firewire HD just for that reason. I have moved this external to an iMac G5, and to my current Power Mac G4 (with major upgrades to processor, video, RAM, etc.), all with no problems. I have upgraded my iPod to a 60GB Color model in between all these moves, and have never had problems associating the iPod with these various computers. I recently (last weekend) upgraded the internal HD on the Power Mac G4, and installed OSX on it – then pointed iTunes to the Music Folder on the external and updated the Library. No problems so far. Then yesterday, I imported 2 new CD’s to iTunes and tried to transfer the new tracks to my iPod – and I get the message about how this iPod is synced to another iTunes Library, and do I want to erase the iPod and sync with this Library. The only thing that has changed is the internal HD with the controlling OS and iTunes (7.4.1 – yeah, I “upgraded”) – the Music Folder is still on the external HD. Isn’t there an easier way to associate the iPod with this new Library other than erasing the iPod and copying back the music? I don’t remember having to do this nonsense in the past with older versions of iTunes. There’s only 2CD’s worth of difference between the Library and the iPod – and the problem for me is this – the Power Mac G4, with all it’s upgrades, is still a USB 1 machine (no problems for most things, like CD & DVD burning and external HD's, since Firewire 400 is more than adequate, but the dock iPods only use USB). Copying 6,000+ songs via USB 1 is going to take all night (plus all the stuff that can go wrong with a file transfer of that duration).
    Any ideas?
    Robert
    Note: the music (the mp3's) have always been on an external drive - and I've never had problems associating the iPod with them before - changing computers, hard drives, etc. The iPod has ALWAYS been associated with these files. Recreating the Music Library (on the local drive) never caused a problem either. Of course, I was using an earlier version of iTunes, not this new "dictatorial" version (where the Library now determines the association) - and as I said, erasing and copying 27+ GB of music on my iPod via USB 1 will take awhile - by my quick calculations - approx. 36 HOURS! 99.9% of this music is from my own CD's (I think that I bought 2 albums and a few songs from iTunes store). The 2 CD's that I want to add to my iPod are mine - I bought them. Why do I have to go through this s**t to get them on my iPod?

    It's as easy as it always was; in fact the process is exactly the same as it always has been. The only difference is where you select the iOS device, which in the default view is a button in the header bar, e.g:
    Have you tried clicking that? Alternatively, you can go to the View menu and select "Show Sidebar" and the interface will then look almost exactly like in previous versions of iTunes.
    Regards.

  • How to show iPod in iTunes

    Hello,
    I recently asked my daughter to move iTunes to another computer in our home. Easy enough, downloaded, installed, but we ran into problems with getting her iPod to "show" in iTunes. She purchased a song and went to add it to her iPod and there doesn't seem to be any way to do this. So, we went back to the first computer to add the newly purchased song, but it doesn't show in that "purchased" list.
    So, how do we get the second computer to recognize her iPod? I know it's there because the computer recognizes it, it just doesn't show up in iTunes.
    Thanks for your help, in advance.

    *How do we get the second computer to recognize her iPod?*
    Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? It may be of some help: iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
    *we went back to the first computer to add the newly purchased song, but it doesn't show in that "purchased" list.*
    That's because it was physically downloaded to the other computer, it's not on a list available to other PCs. If you want a song download on one computer to be available on another you have to copy the file over: iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between authorized computers

  • How to keep Ipod in iTunes when undocked

    I want to be able to see and manage my ipod music while it is undocked. I did this before, but for the life of me, can't figure out how to keep the iPod showing in iTunes when it's undocked. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    If it's not connected to the computer, you can't do anything with the iPod.
    You can Enable disk use in iTunes prefs -> iPod and it will not dismount.
    I want to be able to see and manage my ipod music while it is undocked.
    That is what iTunes is for.
    Make the changes in iTunes and then update the iPod.
    Any changes you make on the iPod will not be reflected in iTunes.
    When you have to Restore the iPod (you will), all changes will be lost.

  • How to sync ipod on itunes

    Every time I attempt to sync my ipod this appears:
    The iPod “Allanah Morales's Ipod <3 ;*” is synced with another iTunes library on “tinisha brugnone’s iMac”. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library?
    An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPod with the contents of this iTunes library.
    My mac computer had a hardrive failure and we had to completely wipe out the computer could this by why my ipod isn't recognizing it? Is there anyway I can sync more music on without wiping my ipod out?
    thank you,
    -Lana
