ITunes is not recognizing my new computer and not allowing me to download my music that I already purchased even though it recognizes my registered iPod.

I got a new computer and downloaded iTunes. When I tried to download music that I already purchased I got a message that my computer was not authorized although my iPod was plugged in and it was recognized. I don't see anywhere that I can register my new computer. Can someone help me?

- You do have iTunes version 11 on the computer, right. Saying the latest is not sufficient.
- Have you tried everthing here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- You should
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Your library/media will not be affected.
- Does the iPod charge?

You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.

I have had this ipod for forever and I want all the music to show up on my new computer but everytime I connect it says my only options are to sync and erase everything or only transfer the music that was bought on the itunes store which isn't alot since like I said most is from CD's that I don't have anymore. Is there any way to make this happen? Please help!!!

Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.

HT1386 When i connect my iPhone to iTunes, it says i have to set up my iPhone, and wont allow me to sync any media i have already purchased on it. My phone is not new, so I dont understand? This all came about when i updated the iOS 6 software.

Okay, so my friends think it is funny to change the passcode on my iPhone.
Maybe you should get new friends.
I'm not sure that recovery mode works when you have to trust the computer, but did you try it?
If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support
If that won't work, perhaps you can use Find my iPhone from a computer in your iCloud.com account to erase the device.
iCloud: Erase your device - Apple Support
This has nothing to do with the Find my iPhone app being installed on the phone, but you do have to have Find my iPhone activated in the iCloud settings on the phone.

HT1212 I forgot my passcode and my iphone says "connect to itunes". I got a new computer and never re-synced my iphone to the new one. How would I reset it?

WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO DOWNLOAD A MOVIE THAT I HAVE A DIGITAL COPY FOR IT GIVES ME A MESSAGE about purchasing a hd version vs the sd version

Hello everyone,
I was having the exact same, irritating, problem. The only way I was able to work around this lovely little quirk was to redeem the code on my iPod touch. I would guess it would also work on any apple touch pad device. I only had to input the code once and it began downloading. I was then able to go back to my iTunes on PC and it began downloading there too.
*Sidenote: Be sure to uncheck the "Download HD when available" option.
I hope this works and helps the rest of you.

I bought an app and when I try to download it says I have already purchased and It will be downloaded with no charge

I bought a app on the App Store and when I try to download it says "you have already purchased this all, it will download now with no additional charge"

I had same problem. All that was next to app was the cloud icon (ie.not 'open') and kept getting same message when trying to download. I found this fix on another discussion that worked wonderfully for me. The guy who found this deserves credit:
1) Open iTunes and go to the iTunes Store
2) Click on your account ID in the upper left-hand side of the window and select account from the drop-down
3) You may have to enter your password, but will then be shown the Account Information screen
4) Look at the top of this screen for a section indicating you have a pending download and click download
5) Either install via sync or on your device itself
I just re-clicked on the cloud in the app-store on the device and it finally worked! It must have been in some sort of app-limbo.
