Itunes wont let me download my music off of my old account

I've been trying to get all my old music off of my old itunes account and it wont let me. I've even tryed to on my computer and and says " You must authorize this computer before you dowload."

Have you authorised your account on that computer iTunes ? If not then you should be able to do so via the Store drop-down menu at the top of the iTunes screen (if you are using iTunes 11 on a PC then control-B should get the menus to show)
If you are trying to redownload them then redownloading past purchases may tie that computer to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

I have two itunes accounts on my iphone. It wont let me download any music from my second accont, I have two itunes accounts on my iphone. It wont let me download any music from my second accont

I have had my frist account for a very long time. I was the first in the family to an apple product. After awhile my family joined in on my account. So instead of having to deal with all their music getting on my ipod/iphone I created a new account. Well, I recently updated my iphone and for some reason it wouldnt let me listen to my music. It would just skip around and never play anything. So I ended up deleting it all and tyring to start over. I have all the music from my first account on it but now it wont let me put my music from my second account. It says " This Device is already associated with an apple ID" " If you download past purchases with you Apple ID, you cannot auto-download or download past purchases with a different Apple ID for 90 days." then it gives me the option to "cancle" or "transfer". I dont know what to do after that. I am scared to click transfer because I dont want to lose any of my music I had just loaded on. Help?

It is not telling you to update your iphone, it is telling you that you need to update itunes on your computer.

My purchase history shows an audiobook I purchased but my iTunes wont let me download it.

Last year I purchased the audiobook Sh*t my dad says on my iPod Touch, My purchase history shows that I did in fact for pay this audiobook, but my iTunes says I have never purchased a book. My old computer was destroyed, so I have no access to the file. How do I retrieve this purchase if my iTunes thinks I never bought it? I obviously did if it appears in my purchase history?

ITunes wont let me download music it keeps asking me for a password

i go on iTunes to download music and its not letting me, i put the password in for more than 20 times and it keeps asking me the same thing put your apple id password in what should i do?

I thought it was just me because I'm new at this. I hope someone answers this question quickly. Seems like it should be a simple fix. Very irritating.

HT4623 My Itunes on my PC keeps telling me I need to update my phone to the latest itunes 10.6.3 and my iphone is up to date on all of its updates. Wont let me download any music etc? Help please.

My itunes on my PC keeps telling me I need to update my phone to the latest 10.6.3 and according to my phone I have no new updates. This is preventing me from downloading music from my itunes to my iphone. Please help!

It is not telling you to update your iphone, it is telling you that you need to update itunes on your computer.

Apple tech helped me 60 min ago. Told me to create new account for wife. Wiped out her ipod music--now iTunes wont let me download it in her new account so I can restore her music! Help!!

Today an Apple tech helped me 60 min ago. Although my wife and I have diff apple ID's, our music was mixing and syncin back and forth. The tech told me to create new comp user account for wife which I did. I wiped out everything on her ipod and signed in under her ID. When I tried to put it back I got a message that I couldn't download her purchased music for 90 days because there was another apple ID associated with my computer. Not sure wether that means mine or hers. What I am sure of is that I'm dead if I can't get her music back. Please help. Thanks, Craig

I can understand how that would be frustrating. If you created a brand new Apple ID for her, your Apple ID should not have been affected any more than anyone else's. They are as separate from one another as your Apple ID is from mine.
Since you just bought your MacBook Air, you can certainly contact AppleCare for this, and I encourage you to do so. They will straighten it out.
Until then, if you want to troubleshoot this on your own, sign in to your Apple ID here:
https://appleid.apple.com/
Click the blue "Manage your Apple ID" button. If it says it no longer exists or gives you other hassles, it's probably not worth your effort to pursue. Have Apple fix it.
Contact Apple starting with this link - never Google it: http://www.apple.com/support/
Navigate the pages as follows:
Under "Contact Us" click the blue "Contact Support" link
Click the blue "Get Started" button
Click "More Products & Services"
Click "Apple ID"
Click "iTunes Store, App Store or Mac App Store"
Continue with the appropriate options and choose the contact method most convenient for you.

HT1711 It wont let me download my music for 90 days. why?

Hi,
Just recently my Iphone 4S music library had cleared itself. I then turned my phone off then back on thinking it may have been aa glitch. I then turned it back on and went to my Itunes store a and went to my purchases. Afterwards I had chose the option to " Download All" and a message appears saying "You can download past purchases on this device with just one apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this device with a different Apple ID for 78 days." I have waited a total count of 12 days without music and I really want it back. Is there a way to override it or fix this problem I am having?Is there a chance that someone may have hacked into my account?
sincerely,
Robertdifferent.

Hello there, RobertDifferent.
The following Knowledge Base article should clarify and respond to your questions about overriding:
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
Specifically:
Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90 day timer. The timer must complete 90 days from the day the device was associated before it can be associated to another Apple ID.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro D.

Help,! iTunes wont let me play the music I bought at the the iTunes store!!

When I try play the music I bought at the iTunes store, iTunes first asumes my computer is not authorized to play it. I add my password to authorize, the authorization is successful, then I get this error:
"we could not complete your itunes request. An unknown error (-208) there was an error in the music store"
All I have done is added an external harddrive to my machine, there was simply no more room on my C: drive for MP3's. I changed the location of where purchased music goes to this new drive.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
thanks seratone

Is this a problem that happened over night, or you don't know because you only started to buy and watch movies now?
Can you check to make sure iTunes and everything else is all up to date? If that still fails, lets make a new USER Account, and see if things run proper through there.

ITunes wont let me download albums onto my ipod touch- only individual songs - help!

Ive tried switching it on and off and downloading 2 songs to see if that would help but it hasnt worked.
The box that I would touch to buy (the one with the price of the album) doesnt do anything when I touch it and doesnt have a little '+' symbol in the top left of the price box like songs in the song list below has. Its driving me crazy!
