HT1206 I keep getting asked to authorize this computer But to an id that is no longer used

I can not play the music on my computer that was down loaded under an old ID that has not been used for six years now, this started with 10.9.1 Maverick

Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID

How can play songs when I keep getting asked to authorize a computer which is already authroised?

I am using iTunes on my PC and it is an authorized computer, as is my husbands iPhone.
lately, I have been purchasing songs but some of them (not all) are prompting me to authorized my computer to play. I put my password in etc and it says my computer is already authorized but it still wont let me play.
The songs seem to download perfectly on my husbands iPhone.
Subsequently, I have paid for songs I cannot listen to!
I have downloaded the updated software for itunes but that does not seem to have made any difference.
Any advice and help appreciated.
Thanks

lately, I have been purchasing songs but some of them (not all) are prompting me to authorized my computer to play.
That suggests the tracks are damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

My computer is authorized to play purchases but for one of the songs I recently purchased I keep getting prompted to authorize the computer to play the song. How do I fix this?

I recently purchased a song on my iphone. When I synced my phone to my computer, I was prompted to authorize the computer to play the song, which I did. It did not compute and thus when I try to play the song in iTunes on my Macbook Pro, I keep getting prompted to authorize the computer. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it? I also cannot play the song now from my iPhone. I even tried re-downloading it from the iTunes store and that did not help.

After upgrading iTunes I keep getting asked to authorize account to play songs purchased with a very old hotmail account i don't have and can't recover the password. How can I authorize my songs again.

After upgrading iTunes I keep getting asked to authorize account to play songs purchased with a very old hotmail account (10 years) I don't have anymore and can't recover the password. How can I authorize my songs again? I tried to sign in to hotmail again and it says i don't have an account, but when I try to create a new one with the same name, it says one already exists.
When I try to recover the password from Apple, it of course wants to send an email to the account I can't get into, and when I try to do the security questions, it says my DOB is incorrect. How can that be wrong?! I am pretty sure I know my exact birthdate. Now I can't listen to a bunch of my music.

Hello Kuldip13,
It sounds like iTunes keeps asking you to authorize the computer. If you have already tried all the steps within the article you came from:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
I would next check to see if the same Apple ID is signed into, that was used to play these purchases with this article:
Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1920
Open iTunes
Highlight one of the items you have purchased (You can find your purchases in your Purchases playlist).
Choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab.
The Account Name area will list the account used to purchase the item. Unless you have changed accounts, this is your iTunes Store account name.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

You can only authorize this computer with an Adobe id that hasn't been previously used to authorize any other computer or mobile device

When I try to download a library book on my Kobo reader, I keep getting this message. First it tells me to change the computer's authorization to be associated with an Adobe ID. When I click on authorize after logging in, the message keeps telling my "you can only authorize this computer with an Adobe ID that hasn't been previously used to authorize any other computer or mobile device. I have no idea what this means. Help!

Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help, and indeed installation can even trigger this state.
Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
Another is "E_AUTH_NOT_READY"
This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.
In extreme cases on the mac, the following extra step has helped some people. Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash. If you are using 10.7, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1265248?tstart=0

We had ADE on a system whose hard drive was dying and becomming unusable. I replace the old hard drive with a new one and resinstalled everything. I was able to extract the My Digital Editions Folder from the original drive and copied it to the new drive. I then installed the latest ADE. When we attempt to authorize the new ADE install on the new harddrive we see the dreaded "You can only authorize this computer with an Adobe ID that hasn’t previously been used to authorize any other computer or mobile devices. Please try again."
How can we get back running on the new disk?
Thanks

I purchased a film but it won't play because iTunes says I need to authorize the computer, but when I do that it says the computer is already authorized. Huh - some system. Any ideas?

TS1389 What if I keep getting prompted to authorize my computer (only for 3 songs), but my computer is already authorized?

I purchased a whole CD from iTunes and can play all but 3 songs. I keep getting prompted to authorize my account to play these 3 songs. But when I enter my apple ID and password, I get a message that says my computer is already authorized. It keeps cycling around and won't let me play the 3 songs. Anyone else ever have this problem or find an answer?

As Niel says...
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.
You may also find it helpful while downloading to select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.

Warning: You can only authorize this computer with and Adobe ID that hasn't been previously used to authorize any other computer or mobile devices. Please try agian.

How do I resolve this warning?

Something to try --
Use a different Adobe ID to "authorize" the computer.
Or, remove existing authorization associated with the Adobe ID from one computer / device.
Be well...
