  • How does one authorize another computer to play previously purchased music?

    I have recently downloaded a ITunes software on a new computer. I would like to authorize the computer to listen to previously purchased music.
    My understanding is that we can share music on Itunes on up to five computers.
    I woud appreciate if someone could share a document on how to authorize mulitple computer to a single account.
    Thank you

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

  • How do I re-authorize a computer to play my iTunes music if I can no longer access the apple ID under which it was recorded?

    I had an apple ID for my daughter, linked to a hotmail account which we can no longer access.  My daughter has forgotten the password to that account.  I am unable to play music that was purchased with that iTunes account.  Apple incorrectly tells me that the date of birth is incorrect for the account, so I am unable to reset the password.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I subsequently realized that my Airplay settings on ITunes are ok. The problem is with the settings on Pure Music. I still havent figured this out. When i stream using just ITunes, it works fine, but when I play music using ITunes / Pure Magic, I still have an issue with Apple TV.

    Help, please! Any advice on how I link my new iMac and my new itunes software with existing external harddrive containing my entire itunes library?

    Hello!
    It should be a matter of
    Quiting iTunes first if it's running
    Connecting your external harddrive to your Mac, use the Finder to browse to it
    Find your iTunes folder on the ext HDD and double-click on iTunes Library.itl
    If you have any trouble with this, please let us know.

    Go back to the article you asked this question from, use the Deauthorize All function or the link to contact the iTunes Store staff, and then authorize computers as needed.

    How can I authorize my computer to play songs that were initially downloaded under a different Apple ID (email address) on a different computer?

    You need to either authorize it from that Apple ID or delete those songs and buy them from your current one.

    You can transfer all the iTunes purchased music from the iPod Touch to your new computer.
    From iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer:
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod has your purchased content from the iTunes Store, you can transfer the content to a computer that is authorized for your Apple ID.
    Note: This option only works for content you purchased from the iTunes Store (as opposed to content from other sources, such as CDs you may have imported). For content you did not purchase from the iTunes Store, synchronization occurs in one direction only. This means your content can be copied from a computer to your iOS device, but cannot be copied from your device to a computer.
    Open iTunes.
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize Computer.
    In the dialog that appears, the Apple ID button is selected by default. If you have an AOL account, select AOL.
    Enter your Apple ID or AOL account and password. Then, click the Authorize button.
    Connect your device your computer. If it is synced with another iTunes library, the following may appear:
    If this alert appears, click Transfer Purchases.
    If you were not offered the option to transfer purchases:
    After connecting your device to the computer, its icon appears in iTunes. Click the icon.
    From the File menu, choose "Transfer Purchases from 'Your device name.'"

  • How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

    How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

    unless i'm missing something, i think you got mixed up, this is easy google for walk throughs
    i'm assuming this is the new 3tb tc AC or 'tower' shape, if so, its wifi will run circles around your at&t device
    unplug the at&t box for a minute and plug it back in
    factory reset your tc - unplug it, hold down reset and keep holding while you plug it back in - only release reset when amber light flashes in 10-20s
    connect the tc to your at&t box via eth in the wan port, wait 1 minute, open airport utility look in 'other wifi devices' to setup the tc
    create a new wifi network (give it a different name than your at&t one) and put the tc in bridge mode (it may do this automatically for you, but you should double check) under the 'network' tab
    login to your at&t router and disable wifi on it
    add new clients to the new wifi network, and point your Macs to the time machine for backups
