HT1727 how do i authorize my computer to download my purchases from itunes?

I just received a used computer from a family member and I am attempting to set up my itunes account on it. I have already logged into my itunes account. However, when I go to download my music to the computer I receive an error message indicating that I must enable my computer to down load the selected music.

Let me google that for you

  • HT201272 How do I authorize my computer to download previous purchases?

    I have downloaded a few songs on another computer that is not my own. Now these songs appear on the iTunes music list on my own computer and I ould like to listen to them, but in order to do that I must download them again. However, when I try to download them, iTunes does not allow the process to begin. A window saying "Your computer is not authorized. You must authorize this computer before you can download previous purchases." So my question as stated above it how do I authorize my computer to do that??!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    To authorize your Mac, first press Alt and S keys, so the menu bar will show up (if you are running iTunes 11). Then, go to the Store menu (on the menu bar) > Authorize this Computer

  • HT4759 how do you authorize this computer to download songs?

    how can I authorize this computer to download already purchased songs. my computer has windows vista on it

    Sign into the iTunes store with the ID you used to purchase the music in Store>Sign In, then go to Store Authorize This Computer and sign in with the ID.  Note: when you do this, your computer is then associated with this ID and you will not be able to download previous purchases, enable automatic downloads or sign into an iTunes Match account using a different ID for a period of 90 days.

  • I must authorize my computer before download previous purchase? what should i do next?

    I just download Itunes in a "new Computer" but each song only plays for 1.30 minutes , so I understand that I have to place it i nthe cloud , when I try I git this winodw that says: you must authorize this computer before download previous purchases.  Doesnt show me what do I have to do next

    You can authorise your account via the Store drop-down menu at the top of iTunes (if you are using iTunes 11 on a PC then control-B should get the menus to show)
    e.g.
    You can't put songs into the cloud yourself unless you subscribe to iTunes Match and upload them from your computer's iTunes to it. If you want to redownload your iTunes purchased music then you might be able to via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (redownloading music isn't possible in all countries) :
    Or you can copy your library from your old computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Or from your backup (File > Add To Library)

  • HT1727 How do I authorize another computer?

    I am asked by i-tunes store to authorize the computer I am using, which is my laptop, not my PC tower.  I have purchased music and it has downloaded but I cannot get it on my PC laptop because "you must authorize this computer".  I have 2 computers, the PC desktop which I have used for years with I-tunes, and now I have a laptop, too, and do not know how to "authorize this computer".  Thanks.  I have an I-Pad, I-phone, and am rapidly becoming an Apple addict, but still don't have the Mac.
