HT1420 Itunes wont let me authorize this computer as I already have others. However, I no longer have those computers. What do I do to get this one authorized?

Please help me out guys.
Itunes has updated and now it wont play my purchased items because this computer isnt authorised.
I no longer own the other computers that I have authorised, so I'm not too sure how I get to start again.
Very frustrating, listening to one song and then it stops, because its not authorised to play the next song.
Thank you
Bec.

    It is in the store menu at the very top of your computer screen.
    Open itunes.  Click the word Store at the top of your computer screen, next to File, View, etc.
    If you do not have a menu bar then click Control - B

  • Itunes wont let me authorize just one song, how do i fix it?

    bought a beatles song today and it downloaded just fine except that it wont let me play it. it asks me everytime for my account info to authorize it and i type it in and nothing happens. says including this computer you have 5 of 5 authorized, i click ok and it still doesn't let me play the song.

    Hit ESC key a few times.  Take a pic of what the screen looks like and post it here.  I'm having a hard time visualizing what you're talking about.

  • Why is iTunes telling me to authorize my computer, when it already is?

    So I bought a few songs, and one of them won't play until I "Authorize my computer." It is authorized, and i've never been told to authorize it again. But I do anyways, and it tells me " Your computer is already authorized. Including this one, you have authorized 3 computers out of your available 5." So I say "ok" and try to play the song. I get the same "Authorize your account first" message. It's a loop! Anyway to fix it? This shouldn't happen, and i'm upset that itunes hasn't been up to standards lately (One 5 minute song I bought contains only 3 minutes of music, the last two is absolute silence. I fixed it with audicity). So any help Apple?

    Could be a Corrupt download of that song...
    If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music...
    Delete the Song(s) and re-download...

    I only have 3 computer associated to my account but when I try to authorize my new computer it says I can't because I have 5 authorized.

    Look in the File menu.

  • What a pain -on a mac-never had aproblem-loaded a new shuffle with music -will not let me sync itunes store bought songs-will not let me authorize the computer. I have a ipod as well. Is this a block when loading a second device? OR?

    In iTunes, do Store->View my AppleID
    Click "Deuthorize ALL"
    Then, on any computers you still have, do Store->Authorize this computer.  If there are less than 5, you will have no problem.
    You can only do "deauthorize all" once a year, so in the future, if you ever throw a computer away, remember do to "Store->Deauthorize this computer" first.

  • HT1420 I bought song with itunes card.  The song won't play on my computer or devices.  The messages says I need to authorize my computer to play the song.  However, when I "authorize" my computer I get message that this computer is already authorized.

    and, what is even more strange...
    I actually bought 2 Billy Joel songs NY State of Mind from Essential Billly Joel and Italian Restaurant from Greatist Hits vol 1.  Neither song would play. 
    I went back the Apple store and tried to re-download NYSOM.  It let me do it for free.  Before I checked I tried to re-dowload IR but inadvertantly selected same song but from The Stranger.  I had to pay for this one.  The re-downloaded NYSOM still didn't work but IR I bought from Stranger worked.  So, I bought NYSOM from Greatest Hits vol 1. Didn't work!!!  Tried again and bought from another album, Turnstiles, and that one worked.  So, I bought 5 songs, only 2 of which will work. 
    So, now I ask - is there any way to get my money back?

  • TS1277 My iTunes won't let me authorize my computer. I have Windows 8 and have only 3 devices authorized through my account. What should I do?

    My iTunes account won't let me authorize my computer. I have Windows 8 and have only 3 devices authorized through my account. What should I do?

    Howdy scrafts,
    I would suggest this article named iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1277
    Open Computer from the Start menu.
    From the Organize menu, choose Folder and Search Options.
    Click the View tab.
    In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders," make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
    Click OK.
    Navigate to the following location by either typing it into the address bar, copying and pasting it into the address bar, or clicking through the folder hierarchy listed:C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes
    Right-click the SC Info folder shown and on the shortcut menu, choose Delete.
    Restart the computer.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • I lost my computer and I need to deauthorize all computer but itunes wont let me

    I lost my computer and I already have 5 authorize computers but I need to authorize my new one. Itunes wont let me because it says I have to wait until december 15. Is there a way I could do it?

    Hello,
    Actually you can do it by yourself.
    In iTunes, go to the iTunes Store > Sign in > click on your account > put your password > view account > in the Apple ID Summary section choose "Deauthorize all"
    Now you can put your contents on 5 computers !
    Cheers

  • HT1420 I recently got a new operating system on my two-year old windows computer, but itunes says that I need to authorize my computer and I already have authorized five computers.  I think I should deauthorize all but does that deauthorize my ipad and ip

    I recently had a new operating system installed on my two-year old windows computer.  iTunes wants me to authorize my computer (again) and then says that I already have five computers authorized.  Should I deauthorize all?  Would that affect my iPad and iPhone?  I may have old, non-functioning computers that are still authorized and should be removed. 

    Your past purchases are not on the computer.   By choosing download all, those purchases will download to the computer. 
    Once authorized to your iTunes account you can control the computer.
    When syncing the iPad the first time you will get the warning " this iPad is synced with another computer, syncing will erase all contents and replace with the contents of this computer"
    Say yes, this is what you wan to do. 

  • After Downloading 10.4..my itunes wont even open on my computer..anyone know the solution to this?

    After downloading 10.4 my itunes wont even open on my computer..we have tried different things to see if it will open, downloaded it again..and still it wont open.

    try running as administrator -- a temp solution for me anyway.  Waiting for apple to fix whatever this is.   At least one other poster here had same problem and "solution" worked for him as well.

  • TS1382 I want to add multiples of the same song from different playlists to my ipod but iTunes wont let me. How can I override this so that I get the songs I want on my ipod?

    I want to add multiples of the same song from different playlists to my ipod but iTunes wont let me. How can I override this so that I get the songs I want on my ipod?

    You can sync those different playlists to the iPod, and the song appears on each playlist.  However, the song is stored on the iPod once.  What is the practical reason for wanting to store the same song file multiple times (and waste storage space) on the iPod?
