    You need to either authorize it from that Apple ID or delete those songs and buy them from your current one.

    Hello David,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    From the article named iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420.
    To authorize a computer using your Apple ID
    Open iTunes
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer. (In earlier versions of iTunes, access this option from the Advanced menu).
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • How does one authorize another computer to play previously purchased music?

    I have recently downloaded a ITunes software on a new computer. I would like to authorize the computer to listen to previously purchased music.
    My understanding is that we can share music on Itunes on up to five computers.
    I woud appreciate if someone could share a document on how to authorize mulitple computer to a single account.
    Thank you

    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:

  • How to restore the volume control while playing music in iTunes

    How do I recover the volume control (slider at the bottom of the screen) in iTunes when playing music? After I plugged the device into an iHome speaker, the volume control dissappeared.

    generdude,
    Not that I know of, but you can turn it off completely by going to System Preferences...>Sound>Sound Effects>Alert volume: (Uncheck) Play feedback when volume is changed.

    Problem: Some of the Audible files in the iTunes library were not copied to the ipod, because you are not authorized to play them on this computer.

  • HOW can i activate my computer to play music if 5 have already been activ

    I already have 5 computers active but i cant de activate any of them because either they are used or i dont have the computer any more so i cant de activate them.how do i de activate my computers that i no longer have???

    The ONLY way is to go onto your account in the music store and hit the "Deauthorize ALL" button. This option is not to be taken lightly. The button only appears once a year so say you use it today Aug 24th 2006. It will not appear til Aug 24th 2007 even if you reach the max of 5 before that date

  • I bought music under a different apple id and can't play it with my new apple id. How can I reauthorize my computer for that music?

    I am trying to reauthorize my computer to play music I purchased from itunes under an old apple id. When I changed my ID I could no longer play anything I purchased previously but I can't find how to get apple (or my computer) to recognize that its my music. I get a message saying I must authorize this computer to play music bought by this (old Apple ID). Anyone know how to get around this problem?

    In iTunes pull down Store menu > Authorize and type the credentials.
