I'm trying to authorize my laptop and when i do it says its authorized then i try to download my music from my iPod it says it's not authorized.

I have tried with my account and my sisters and it still won't authorize. A thing will pop up and saying its authorized but then another thing will pop up saying its not authorized. I've done this same thing over and over again getting the same results.

Just doublechecking. In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

I have spent the last half hour trying to contact Apple Support and when I called no one answered. Everytime I try to log onto my Apple account it tells me it is not the correct password. I write them down so they can not be wrong. What do I do?

Why do I get a message EVERYTIME I try to log into my Apple account that says the password is incorrect? I write them down so I know they are correct.

So then reset it...

My HDD crashed in my old PC and I built a new system. iTunes won't let me sync the music from my ipod back into the new version of iTunes I had to download. How do I fix?

Syncing music via iTunes is only one way: from iTunes to your iPod. If you need to copy the music from your iPod back to your PC, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to do this.

When I try to delete my account from my iPod it says "If you delete your account, all documents and Photo Stream photos stored in Icloud will be deleted from this iPod touch" Will I lose my pictures on my iPod?

I changed my email on my computer for my itunes and icloud. It made me manually change it on my ipod even after I synced. It won't change my email for my icloud and I have to delete it manually. "If you delete your account, all documents and Photo Stream photos stored in Icloud will be deleted from this iPod touch" comes up. Will I lose all my data stored on my iPod?

You will only lose your iCloud data, That includes iCloud backup, iCloud Contacts and Calendar, Reminders, Notes, everything listed in Settings>iCloud

I am trying to authorize my computer and I get an error message: The required directory was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed. Help?

I am trying to authorize my computer and I get an error message: The required directory was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed. Help?

I used Terminal to change the permissions on the folder in question. I followed the instructions in this article:
iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization
In my case, the folder was there, so I needed the command to change permissions on the folder, not to create one. I was hesitant to use Terminal b/c I know that if I made an error I could wipe out my hard drive or render my computer unusable. So to be SURE I didn't make an error, I carefully copied the command from that page and *pasted* it into Terminal. Also, before I could do anything in Terminal, I had to go change my admin password (it had been a blank password before and that's not acceptable for making changes in Terminal). I was just super careful when entering my password or doing anything else while Terminal was open (making sure I didn't accidently hit the spacebar or another key, etc.) And it fixed the problem right away.
What was confusing for me was that the iTunes error message said to change permissions in the FINDER, which is what I was trying to do. It didn't mention Terminal. What would really be helpful is if Apple included a link to a page like this in their error message.

"I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
Correct. it does not magially appear in other places. It will only be where you put it.
"I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. "
Correct as well. Iphone will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one.
