Itunes wants me to authorize for someone elses account

i just recently had my hard drive die on me on my desktop... new install of windows 7 on a new hdd.. and now im trying to back up my ipad and when i hit sync its asking me to authorize the computer which i put in my information but then its asking for some strangers email address? any ideas why its showing some random persons logon on my computer? help!

Go to Store>View my account. You will have to enter your username and password in there. See if that makes a difference.
Did you authorize the computer in iTunes by launching iTunes and then go to Store>Authorize this computer?
Did you transfer purchases from the iPad to the new iTunes library or is the iTunes library already set up on the computer?

  • HT203167 Hi, I've purchased a few films from itunes (and they are listed as Purchased in my account), but I can't find them on my computer or on my itunes account, and itunes wants me to pay for them again. How do I get around this?

    Hi, I've purchased a few films from itunes (and they are listed as Purchased in my account), but I can't find them on my computer or my itunes account, and itunes wants me to pay for them again. How do I get around this? I've tried all the suggestions, and it's hugely frustrating.

    If you are in the UK, and the film studio allows re-downloading, and you are signed in with the same account that you bought them with, then they might show under the Purchased link under Quinklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page for re-downloading - if they don't show then check to see if they are hidden (hiding and unhiding).
    But you should be keeping and maintaining your own backup of your downloads and noy rely on being able to re-download any item as they are occasionally removed from the store by the content provider (film studio, tv company, record company etc).

  • Last summer I bought a music album from iTunes. I've already transferred all my orders from my units, but somehow iTunes wants me to pay for the same album again. When I try to add it to my wish list it simply tells me that I've already bought that item.

    Last summer I bought a music album from iTunes. I've already transferred all my purchases from my units, but somehow iTunes wants me to pay for the same album again. When I try to add it to my wish list it simply tells me that I've already bought that item.
    And I've already tried to search for downloadable purchases.
    So fact is established, I've purchased this album before but iTunes does not recognize it.
    What to do?

    Hey sorry for the late response but I've been out of town.  I can copy and paste the email responses if necessary or desired, and if it's fixed already this is a moot point anyway, but basically they kept asking me for the order numbers for the two songs I already bought from the specific album I was trying to complete, which I eventually gave them - along with telling them multiple times that the Complete My Album feature wasn't working for ANY album.  They gave me two free song codes to compensate me for the two songs I bought, and then told me to go and buy the album at full price, but the ENTIRE TIME they COMPLETELY ignored that I was telling them that this wasn't an issue with one album but was a larger, seemingly systematic issue that other people were experiencing.  Even after I got the song codes I emailed them back and said AGAIN that this wasn't an isolated feature, and they just sent me the link to the apple Feedback page (http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html) and told me to submit my complaint there.  So, technically, my issue was never really "resolved," in that they never fixed the Complete My Album feature that I am aware of - or even acknowledged that anything needed fixing, but I haven't tested it since Sunday.
    If it's working for you, then hopefully they fixed it!  I've noticed they've updated to 10.4.1, but the notes don't indicate they're fixing anything about the Complete My Album feature, so I don't know.

    It was not imediately clear that purchases coudl only be redeemed within the country of purchase.

    I am unable to play certain songs since itunes wants me to authorize the computer with an old email address I had when I first bought the songs. I don't remember that password and when I use my present Apple id and password it doesn't authorize the computer to play those songs. How do I get these songs authorized since there are a lot of them?

    Purchases are always tied to the account from which they were purchased.

  • Data model 0G: No authorization for entity type Account (Company Code) - activity Display

    Hello Expert,
    I have a problem with authorization in MDG-F.
    I want to create Account with Collective processing. After, entered Entity type, Edition and Chart of account,  Blocking message "Data model 0G: No authorization for entity type Account (Company Code) - activity Display" is displayed.
    But, i checked in PFCG transaction, for this user profil, activity are : create or generate, Change and display. So, for me , it is correct.
    Please, check screen shot below :
    Blocking message :
    and in PFCG transaction
    Could you help me to solve this point?
    Kind regards,
    Heri RAOELISON

    Hi Heri,
    the system behavior is correct. The account in company code consists of three entity types:
    1) COA - Chart of Accounts (Type 3)
    2) ACCOUNT - Account (A-Segment, related to ECC table SKA1, Type 1)
    3) ACCCCDET - Account in Company Code (B-Segment, releated to ECC table SKB1, Type 1).
    3) includes 1) and 2) whereas 2) includes 1). If you grant authorization only for 3) but not for 1) and 2), you cannot do anything.
    Best regards
    Michael

  • Logged in to someone elses account

    Having trouble logging in to my skype, I requested a password reset. When i typed my e-mail address and then choosed a new password, I was logged in to someone elses account. Can one e-mail address be used in more that one account? And how do I fix this?

  • Placed order using paypal, bestbuy site crashed, now my order lists someone elses account info!

    Extremely upset and concerned. I placed an order on your website and used paypal to checkout. Was directed to the paypal site where I entered my info. It took me back to bestbuy to complete the order, however your page crashed and took me to a page that said oops sorry an error has occured, but my order still went through. I go to my account and check the order status, and IT IS LISTING SOMEONE ELSES PAYPAL ACCOUNT INFO as my payment method. This should NOT be happening. Tried calling customer service who was absolutely clueless and was of no help at all and would not do anything. I checked paypal, and there is a pending charge for the order total for bestbuy.com so there should not be any problem on their end. Someone contact me ASAP about whats going on. We should not be able to view other customers private info!

    Good morning redspeed,
    Placing an order on BestBuy.com using PayPal should be a pleasant and hassle-free experience! From the sounds of it, your experience has been far from what we strive to provide for an online shopping experience. With that said, it is truly odd that your order would be reflecting another person’s PayPal information, but the transaction still appearing on your PayPal account. I am truly sorry for any confusion or inconvenience that this may cause you.
    Using the information you registered with the forum, I believe I was able to locate the order. I am sending you a private message to gather some details to further research this issue. You may check your private messages by signing into the forum, then clicking the envelope icon in the top right corner of the page.

  • Authorization for G/L Accounts

    I need to set authorization for one G/L Account for one user only. I know authorization object F_BKPF_BES, but it´s used for authorization group G/L Account and I would need only for one specific G/L Account.
    It´s possible?

  • I want to down load songs from my ipod classic to my itunes.  the songs are from someone elses computer

    i bought an ipod classic.  somebody downloaded their music to it.  I want to save that music to my itunes.  how do i do this.  I know I can;t keep anything they bought but I would like the rest of the music. can anyone help me

    The rest of what music?
    Since you know you are not entitled to keep music purchased by someone else, and since the music on the iPod was placed on it by someone else (who presumably bought it), what exactly do you think you can keep?
    If "the music you wish to keep" is actually free of copyright (in other words, it can be freely copied and distributed to anyone), then presumably you can obtain that music from the same source that it came from originally. Since you would need to confirm for yourself that it is free of copyright, your best bet would be to locate that music from a legally available source rather than someone else's iPod.
    If the music was given away free to the person who originally owned the iPod, you would still need to ensure that it's "free of copyright" and that it would be legal for you to keep it. The fact that one person legally obtained it for free does not automatically mean that anyone else can have a copy of it. Once again, you would need to confirm the facts.
    As far as I know, Apple still do not allow anyone here to discuss methods of copying someone else's purchased music onto your iTunes, so even if anyone here knew how to do it, they cannot tell you.

  • ITunes Won't Authorize for Automatic Downloads & Account Information Viewing

    Hi,
    So I've been having a problem signing into iTunes for the last few days now. First off, I've isolated the problem to my MacBook Pro and verified that Mac OS X/iTunes were both up to date. I've reinstalled iTunes and restarted. I've tried re-athorizing my computer for the Store. I've tried reseting my network configuration by deleting the NetworkInterfaces.plist. I've even tried deleting the SC Info folder. Nothing has worked. At all. What is happening is that whenever I go to authorize Automatic Downloads or to view my Account in the iTunes Store, it just keeps prompting me without ever signing in. I can see the progress bar moving to signify it's attempting to connect but it always fails to do so. Oddly enough and despite not being able to update my apps, it's actually somehow updated a few of them. Could this perhaps be a case of my ISP not having the correct ports open? At this point, I really don't know what else it could be. Anyway, this is just becoming more and more frustrating by the day. Please help!

    Let me guess: you changed hardware or did major system changes? Like Windows needs to be activated again after such changes, iTunes needs too. Just deauthorise the PC and authorise again, should fix the problem.

  • How do i get itunes to recognize my iphone, not someone elses?

    How do i get itunes to recognize my iphone on itunes and not my boyfriends? I have set up my own itunes account, it is on the same computer and i cant create a seperate user profile. However any suggestions so i can sync my iphone would be very much appreciated.

    Only one logged in user at a time. You must be logged in to your iTunes account then Menu/Store/Authorize This Computer.
    This authorizes your bf's computer for your account.

  • ITunes wants to charge me for a show I bought a season pass for

    Back in September, before the show even started, I bought a season pass for the TV show "Total Drama All Stars". For the first 3 episodes, I was sent an email once they were available, and was then easily able to download the episode within minutes. However, I'm currently experiencing an issue with episode 4. Generally, the show airs on TV on Tuesday nights, then shows up on iTunes at 3 AM the next morning. However, when I woke up at 8 AM this morning, I didn't have an email, so I went to check the iTunes store myself. Episode 4 is available, but the store wants to charge me $1.99 for it, even though the season pass already says "purchased". I can still redownload the first three episodes, but I'd have to pay again for the fourth.
    How do I report this and get the episode I already paid for? The only report link I could find required me to buy the episode and then request a credit, which I'd rather not do. I paid my 20 bucks for this show a month ago, and even if the cost is minimal, it's still not fair to charge me again to fix a mistake I didn't make.

    Ringtones are a ONE-TIME download. If you didn't transfer them to your iTunes library so that you could sync them back to your phone, you will have to re-purchase them.
