I try to download my purchased songs onto my computer but it says computer is not registered

wont work

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:

You may need to update to iTunes 10.7, which would require OS X 10.6.8.
But you can first try to reboot your computer and router/modem

I am trying to download purchased music onto my iPad but it says error every time, with every song. Why is this?

I previously purchased songs from my iPhone but I now can't download it to my iPad mini. It keeps coming up with a message say error please retry

Hi Baldwin13,
Sorry to hear you are having issues downloading songs you have purchased to your iPad mini.
One thing I would suggest is to transfer your purchased content from the iPhone to your computer. Then you can re-sync your iPad Mini to your iTunes Library on the computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
If you want to transfer iTunes Store purchases from an iOS device or iPod to a computer, be sure to authorize the computer before connecting the device. After connecting your device to the computer and its icon appears in iTunes, go to the File menu, then Devices, and choose Transfer Purchases from "(Your device name)".
Or, you can Show Sidebar from the View menu, and then right-click (Windows or Mac) or Control-click (Mac only) your device in the iTunes Source list, then choose Transfer Purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
Please note that this feature works only for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library. Please see this article for more details.
Next, I would Reset the iPad Mini:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Then follow the instructions below:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
Troubleshooting on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking on Check for Update in your device's Summary page in iTunes.
Check and verify that you are in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you are on a 3G capable device, make sure that cellular data is turned on fromSettings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to 3G, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Check to make sure you have an active internet connection. You can check the User Guide for your device for help with connecting to the internet.
Check to make sure other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router
If the issue still persists see, iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections or iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections.
Note: All iPhone, and iPod touch models support 802.11b/g Wi-Fi networks. In addition, iPhone 4, and iPod touch (4th generation) support 802.11n Wi-Fi networks (2.4 GHz only).
Hopefully, these steps will resolve your issue.
Have a great day!

Purchased songs from one computer will not play on another computer???

I have downloaded my Itunes files to my work computer, but the songs I purchased on my home computer will not play on my work computer. I get a message saying that the work computer is not authorized to play those songs. When I log in, the message says the computer is authorized...but the songs will still not play. What gives??

Hey there,
Are you using the same iTunes account from which the songs were purchased? If not, make sure you are signing into the same account and authorizing the computer under that account.
Also, I would try deauthorizing the computer and then reauthorizing it to see if that helps. Or you may try signing out of your iTunes account, quitting iTunes, and then reopening it and signing back in and then deauthorize and then reauthorize.

I tried to register my stolen iPhone onto My Profile but it says that it's registered under another apple ID (which is not mine) What does this mean? Does it mean the person who stole my phone is using my phone under another Apple ID?!

Hi everyone,
My iphone and Ipad got stollen yesterday...
I registered my Ipad onto "my profile" but when I tried to register my Iphone 4 onto "My Profile" it says that the product has been registered under ANOTHER apple ID. What does this mean?! Does this mean that the thief is using my phone under a new apple ID?!
I am getitng abit paranoid because when I tried to download a new app onto my macbook pro, it says that someone had accessed my account from a new computer. I am so scared.. as I know that if they are able to access my apple ID account they can see my billing/card details. I tried to delete my billing address and card details on my apple ID account to prevent this from occuring but I can't. Please help
Many thanks,
Kim

You should change your AppleID password NOW. And if it says it was registered under another AppleID, the thief has probably done it.

My iTunes shuts down each time I try to download a purchased song

Anyone out there who can offer any suggestions or help? I have purchased 2 songs using an iTunes Music Card, and when I go to view "Purchased Songs" there is nothing there. Then I go in and view my account and it shows that I have purchased 2 songs........so I try to download again, and I get the message, "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close (or shut down or whatever it says). Is there some other software I need to have in order to actually download songs from the iTunes music store? What am I not understanding? Thanks!

You may need to update to iTunes 10.7, which would require OS X 10.6.8.

Downloading previously purchased songs to new computer

How do I re-download songs that I already purchased and downloaded onto my old computer, onto my new computer? Or how do I get access to the iTunes library on my old computer from my new computer?

You can only download iTunes purchases once: iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
This page will give you various options for copying purchases from one computer to another: iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between authorized computers
Probably the most straightforward way to get iTunes onto your second computer is to network it with the first one and copy your iTunes folder across. Start by consolidating your library. When you consolidate, any songs in the iTunes Library that are not in the iTunes Music Folder are copied to the Music Folder and the Library is updated to point to those new files. Files already in the iTunes Music Folder have no changes made to them: Copying all your iTunes files to one location - Windows
Copying the whole folder brings with it the iTunes Music folder and also the iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows) database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?
When you copy the iTunes folder make sure you put it into the default location on the new computer. On a PC this is \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\ (or C:\Username\Music\ in Vista). You should also use the same version of iTunes on both computers.
You can also use this method with an external hard drive, you drag the folder from the first computer to the external drive and then from the drive to the second computer.
If you have and iPod, some iPods can be used as an external drive and you can use them to move your iTunes (this option isn't available with the iPod Touch): How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
Also if you are disposing of the old computer remember to deauthorise it so you don't use up one of your 5 allowances: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

Downloading purchased songs onto other computer

I have a laptop, and a desktop. They both have iTunes. And they both have this problem.
Ill purchase a song on one, then go to add it to the other one. But iTunes just tells me that all avaliable songs are downloaded. When they clearly aren't updated. They are in my purchase history

But iTunes just tells me that all avaliable songs are downloaded.
The single purchase only entitles you to a single download. Right-click the song you just purchased, choose Get Info, find its location, copy that file to the other computer's hard disk, and drag it into the open iTunes window.

HT1349 Trying to download my past purchased songs onto my computer and I phone from I tunes

Hello, I recently purchased a used I phone 3 , I have over 400 songs on I tunes I have purchased that I would like to download. It will not allow me to do so, I get a message saying in 90 days I can, but after I wait the 90 days it goes back to same message?

Check Settings > Store on the iPhone to see the Apple ID. If it's not yours, tap and select sign out. Then, sign in using your Apple ID. You'll probably still have to wait 90 days. Read this: iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
