When I deauthorize all 5 cpu and authorize a new cpu will I be able to retrieve all my songs I purchased?

Authorization does not affect what you have purchased. It will still be there.

If I deauthorize all, then sign in to my old itunes account and authorize a new computer, will I have all my old library?

My laptop was stolen. I want to retrieve my music library. How can I do this?

No, you don't get your old library back just by authorizing iTunes to your account.
See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device if you have one, otherwise see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

Deauthorized all computers, cant authorize a new one.

I just purchased a Mac and move my itunes library from my PC to it. Everything migrated well including the database; however,some of my content will not play indicating I have authorized 5 computers which is the max. I chose "deauthorize all computers" since I no longer need this music on my PCs, but when I go to authorize my mac it still says 5 computers are authorized. Ideas? Thank you.

Additional info on my question-
I have downloaded several hundred songs from itunes. About a year ago someone sold me their itunes gift card and apple support told me the whatever card was used to purchase it disputed the charges. While all my other itunes stuff was purchased the regular way under my account, the songs I bought through this gift card now will not authorize and I cant play them. I don't know what happened here but I I did purchase them so I should be able to play them. I tried a few programs that will convert it from aac to something else but that does not work because itunes says they are not authorized. Also cant burn to CD for this same reason. I have had these songs for at least 3-4 months and even have the email purchase receipts, anyone know how I can get to play again or is this just a lesson learned?

When I "deathorize all" computers and re-authorize my current pc so that I can use it for iTunes, will I lose any of my music, especially those that were not purchased through iTunes directly? I am afraid to that I will lose non-purchased songs.

Will I lose any of my non-purchased music that I imported from CD's when I "deauthorize all" computers and "re-authorize" my current pc? I am fearful that I will lose several songs from my library when I do this.

No. Deauthorizing only removes the computer from the list of computers that you can use to view or purchase new music under your iTunes sign-on.

My old computer crashed andI bought a new one. When I went to Itunes I deauthorized all computers and then authorized my new one but I can not get my prevous purchases and I can not add my new purchases to my IPods with out it deleting all the music. How can I transfer everything that was on the old computer to this new one?

Whether you can redownload previous purchases depends upon the type of item (audiobooks and ringtones are one-time only downloads), what country that you are in (music, films, TV shows can't be redownloaded in all countries), and whether the item is still in your country's store (content providers occasionally remove their items) - what you can redownload will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage
Or you should be able to copy purchases back from your iPod via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option (if the drop-down menus aren't showing then control-B should get them to show).
If you have music from other sources on your iPod (e.g. copied from CDs) then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Or do you have a copy of them anywhere else e.g. on your backup of your downloads/library that you can copy them onto your new computer from ?

Hi Deb,
Deauthorizing all is definitely the way to go. You will just need to authorize your computer again after, as well as your husband's.
Here's some additional information on deauthorizing all:

I hope this helps!

I use more than one computer to access my four business email accounts. When one computer is on (and mail is open) emails do not get through to the other computers. This is fine, but how do I make one of the other computers the dominant one?

I use more than one computer to access my four business email accounts. When one computer is on (and mail is open) emails do not get through to the other computers. This is fine, but how do I make one of the other computers the dominant one?

I assume these are POP accounts and all computers are set to remove from Server after downloading.
So on the non dominant ones... Mail Preferences>Accounts, highlight an account, Advanced tab, uncheck remove from Server, just have the main dominant one remove from server.
Or get/setup IMAP accounts.

I have three computers (Dell and HP) two I phones and I cannot get the iphones to sync with the computers. I recently installed ITunes 11.0 on all computers and have no success getting iphones to sync since then. The iphones are a 4 and a 3S

I have three computers, 1 dell and 2 hps. I have downloaded the new 11.0 on all computers and now am unable to get my iphones to sync. I also can't get the home sharing to work...shouldn't I be able to get all libraries from all computers on both phones...if they would download? It tells be I have to delete the previous libraries to add the phone to a new computer.

If you no longer have the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
Log in to iTunes, go to "view your account info" on the itunes store, deauthorise all five, (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months) and then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time.

I have my iTunes library between an external hard drive and my PC. How do I get all of it onto the PC? When I consolidate it leaves the songs on the external drive.

Report to list all computers and their collection membership

Hi
I am currently working on a site where direct membership is used for collections but a need has arisen to move to AD Queries.
I have created a simple powershell script that creates groups based on the contents of a csv file and another script which populates this with the members listed in another csv file.
To help speed up the process is there a way to generate a report that lists ALL Computers and their Collection membership?
The only reports I seem to find that are built in require an inputted value of either computer name of collection ID. I simply need a report that lists Computer Name is column 1 and Collection Name in column 2 for all computers and all collections.
Many Thanks,
Matt Thorley

select
FCM.Name,
C.Name
from
dbo.v_Collection C
join dbo.v_FullCollectionMembership FCM on C.CollectionID = FCM.CollectionID
Thanks to Garth for original query. I just modified it :)

If I deauthorize my iPad and authorize it with a new Apple ID, will I lose the previously purchased apps?

I want to deauthorize an iPad and authorize it with a new Apple ID but I dont want to lose the apps that were purchased under the first Apple ID. Will this happen?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You won't lose the programmes, but you won't be able to update them as it will ask you for your old Apple ID to update

How do I download my previously purchased songs (on a different computer) on a PC running XP? I have followed the instructions but none of it allows me to download my songs. I deauthorized all computers and authorized this one only but it didn't help.

I had to change computers and cannot access my old drive. iTunes shows me the list of songs but I cannot get most to play. Instead I get a message saying "cannot locate"
I have tried following the support tutorials but it still does not allow me to download my previous purchases.
I tried de-authorizing all computers and then re-authorizing this on but it still doesn't allow me to access most of my songs.

It sounds like you might have broken links to your content. Either repair these by putting the files you've recovered where iTunes expects to find them or delete the broken entries then go to iTunes Store > Purchased > Music > Not on This Computer, and click the download links.
If you have an Apple device see also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

HT1373 once i deactivated all 5 computers ,and authorized my new one, how do i see my music

once i deactived all 5 of my computers and added my new one, how do i see my music that i have purchased

Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.
Hopefully those apply to iTunes for Windows too, but since you posted in the iTunes for Mac forum that's what you get.
