HT1206 cant get authorization on my computer

my family set up an itunes account yrs ago and didnt use a email account. we have a lot of music on it and then we got a different computer (lap top). we cant get the comp to authorize to play or use now. the comp doesnt ask for authorization to authorize. we've purchased iphones and an ipad and set up itunes. i stored all the music on my iphone before we got a new laptop but cant get it to download on the comp. all the music is on ************@ sbcglobal.com (which isnt a email address) and want on ********@ sbcglobal.net which is our apple id and email address. i purchased itunes match thinking i could download all the music from my iphone to the comp but doesnt work. i wasted 24.99 already and got 100 hours in this issue. is there anything you can do to help me figure out this multi issue?

You need to connect it to a computer with iTunes and an internet connection and restore via iTunes. There is no other way

Hi,
have you tried booting your Mac from the recovery partition by holding cmd-r while booting? If that works, then start the Disk Utility from the menu and try a "Repair disk".
After the Disk Utility is finished, try the "Repair Permissions". Though this is a highly overrated "feature", it might even help in your situation. Do this repeatedly until nothing changes. This doesn't mean there won't be any messages left over.

Got New computer and cant get itunes onto new computer

Ok Smarties, let's see what you've got.
I Have a little dilemma. Ok BIG dilemma. I cant get my old iTunes onto my new computer because my old computer was bashed in by my ex-best friend. I can't afford to fix it so I decided to get a new one!
My little brother always messes things up and already got HIS iPod on MY new computer. Along with HIS music. I'm just wondering if and/or how to get my old iTunes onto my new computer. I will be very grateful to whoever helps me.
Please e-mail me at [email protected]

Help..cant get 2nd iPod on computer

Ok so my mom got herself an iPod nano and I cant figure out how to get it on the computer. She made an account and she's already bought some music and put the music into a playlist. But when I plug her iPod in, it doesn't do anything. It just starts charging. iTunes doesn't come up and it didn't ask me to name the iPod. I've looked around and read help topics but I can't seem to get it.

Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting documents? They may be of some help:
iTunes 7 for Windows doesn't recognize iPod
iPod missing in My Computer and in iTunes

I accidently logged off with Guest user and now I cant get back into my computer it is threatening to loose all my documents

As i am the sole user of my computer i dont use my password, therefore to be honest i have forgotten it. Now I dont know how to get my password back and i cant delete the guest user which seemed to have put itself there. if I try to delete. It I am told i will lose all my files. I simply switched off last night as I was so frustrated by it. technical terms are not much use to me, at 78 i feel I just need simply directions as to what to do. i am sure there is nothing wrong with the desktop. i would be grateful for any suggestions

how to get my password back
Your Mac encrypts your password as it is entered. It is never stored "in the clear". It cannot tell you what it is, or even how many characters are in it. All it can tell is, when you enter it again and it encrypts it again, "was that it?"
So you will need to Reset your password, which changes it permanently, deleting the old one.
These article is the starting place. follow the Links in the articles for less-frequently-used procedures:
OS X: Changing or resetting an account password (Snow Leopard and earlier)
Reset the user password in OS X Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks

Getting authorization from a computer that is not online...

We download music from the music store for my daughter then burn it to a disk to download it to my daughter's computer. When we try to transfer the songs it says we need to an authorization for that song. Since her computer is not online how can we gain authorization for the song to be on her computer?
Thank you, M--

Unfortunately, any computer that has to be authorized to use purchased music needs to be on-line. You only need to be on-line for the couple of minutes it takes to do authorization but there is no other way to get the authorization done.

Hello whetnall,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains helpful advice concerning photo and video transfers:

HT201240 A spiteful ex has got on to my mac and put a password on so I cant get in to the computer. How do I sort this problem out?

My ex chap has got on to my mac whilst visiting his daughter and while I was out he has put a new password on the computer.... How can I get in and will I have to lose everything. I am not very good on computers I am actually a complete dummy when it comes to computers so I have no idea about anything..... please help
Thanks
Kirsty

Do you have your CDs that came with your Mac, an upgrade CD, or USB thumb drive (10.7/10.8)? You can reboot the computer while holding down Option, select the restore disc (CD or Thumb drive). Let the computer boot. Go to Utilities>Password Reset, and you can reset your password without loosing any data (to my knowledge).

I cant get itunes on my computer please help!

Every time i try to download the most recent version of itunes, it finishes with no problems but after it finishes i press run and then an error message appears and its a long message starting with C:/Documents and settins...and at the end of the error message it says "this is not a valid Win32 application." What does this mean and what should i do?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if it won't install normally.

I cant get itunes on my computer and i need to enable my ipod

please help me find a way to enable my ipod without itunes please

Yes you can if the iPod is conencted to the internet and FIndMyiPod is turned on
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
