Music I bought on iTunes now not authorized??

I upgraded to version 7.0 and had problems so I decided to revert back to version 6 until all issues are fixed. The last two albums I purchased on iTunes were removed from my iPod the next time I went to update and iTunes told me that it would not load those two particular albums because my computer was not authorized. What do I need to do in order to get them back on my iPod seeing as how I purchased them from iTunes and this is the only computer they are on.
Thanks,
Robbie

nevermind, figured it out.

I used to live in Spain and bought music through istore, I now live in Ireland and have a new iPhone but the music I bought in Spain is not in my Libruary

I used to live in Spain and bought music in the iTunes Store , I have now moved to Ireland and have a new iPhone but the music I bought in Spain is not listed in my music nor is it in my Library. Can I get hold of this music or do I have to re buy the albums? I have not changed my apple I'd just my place of residence. Help?

This is a bit of a mess, because your billing address has to match the current iTS you are using. You also can't move items from one Apple ID account into another.

IBook repaired, songs bought through iTunes will not transfer back to iPod

i found the way to get my songs from my iPod to my computer, but now all of the songs i bought through iTunes will not go back to my iPod. error message is "some of the songs, including "so-and-so" (actually it's Alice Cooper's Feed my Frankenstein :)HA!) were not moved to the iPod because you are not authorized to play them on this computer." the problem is, this is the same computer, it's just been wiped by Apple and i reinstalled everything. i see in one of these forums that you can apparently double click on the song to get it to transfer back, but i have about 3000 songs, so it's hard to tell what i bought from iTunes from what i had already. can anyone help me do this in one foul swoop? THANKS!

thanks. will try that when i get home.

if from 3rd party you have to put songs on computer and sync from itunes. Apple doesnt support syncing from ios to itunes so you will have to already have the songs on pc.

HT2688 my daughter wants to move some of her music she bought on itunes for her shuffle to her new ipod touch. how do i get this done?

my daughter wants to move some of her music she bought on itunes for her shuffle to her new ipod touch. how do i get this going?

The music should still be in her iTunes Library - the one she uses to put music on the Shuffle. Simply connect the new iPod to that iTunes library, make the choices she wants for syncing the music to the iPod (which I guess, may now include putting all her music onto the iPod, since it has more storage capacity) and press Sync.
Future Syncs with that Library will cause any changes of the Library to be copied to the iPod. Note that music is (or should be) copied to the iPod, not moved. There are two reasons for having the music in the Library:
makes it easier to put the music onto a newer iPod, such as now;
if or when the iPod needs a Restore, which will delete everything from the iPod, you will need to copy "the Library" back onto the same iPod.

I purchased music on my computer with old email address, same computer new email address, but I get play music becasue it tells me computer not authorized...how do you authorize???

I purchased music on my computer with old email address, same computer new email address, but I get play music becasue it tells me computer not authorized...how do you authorize???

I have almost the exact same problem. I have a bunch of music, ringtones, TV shows, movies... stuff that I purchased that I can't authorize. All of these items were purchased with the same account I'm still using now. The difference is that I've changed my email address. I don't have the original email address from when I made those purchases and I'm unable to authorize them. I can see that when I view info on one of these purchases the "Account Name: " has my old email address... not my iTunes or Apple account. So, if I'm authorizing my iTunes using my new email none of these older purchases will work.
I'm really curious how to fix this. I've got quite a few purchases from years back that I'd like access to, but I can't authorize using my new email/iTunes or my old email (the one used for the original purchases).
Take a look at the info and tell me if you see "Account Name:" on one of your purchases. And is that associated to your old email address? There has to be a way to fix this or 'transfer' older purchases, especially if it's all under the same real 'account'.

HT1351 Some of the songs I bought from iTunes will not sync to my iPhone. They show up on my phone, but the letters look faed and I can't play them. How do I fix this? I tried restoring my iPhone and it didn't work.

Sorry, I meant the letters look "faded" not faed.

I lost all my music i bought on itunes how do i get it all back is there a way itunes keeps a record please help me?????

Can someone help me find my music i bought on itunes. I lost it all. Does itunes have a backup somewhere. i deleted it all. do they keep records of bought music.

Yeah, but if I bought a CD I wouldn't have to pay 30 cents extra to have the complete use of any tune on the CD would I? ten songs on a CD means you pay an extra $3.00 for the CD that you didn't agree to but its held for ransom.
What? No idea what this has to do with anything (or even what it means)...
So if you wanna be FAIR itunes isn't fair.
Don't purchase from iTunes if you think it is unfair. There are many other places to purchase music.

You make a backup even if you have no other equipment or an iPod.

Applications from my iTunes are NOT AUTHORIZED to sync with my iPhone

Hi all, I need help!
I had bought a new MacBook and while I downloaded some new applications in my new comp in the iTune store and try sync-ing them into my iPhone3G that had been previously sycn-ed with my ex-Mac computer, it pop-ed up a screen saying:
"Some of the applications in your iTunes library were not installed on the iPhone because you are NOT AUTHORIZED for them on this computer."
it happens on all 11 x applications I had downloaded. How come it says it is not Authorized??? And so, how can I make it work? Do I have to restore my phone with the new laptop to make them sync?

Thanks!!! it's now working and syncing !!

Purchased iTunes tracks "not authorized to play"

Odd problem - anything I've bought from before the 17th of August has decided that it's been authorized on more than 5 machines and will no longer play on my Macbook. Only thing is, it hasn't - my media has stayed on this machine and hasn't moved - it may be authorized on one other machine, but certainly not 5! Same thing has happened with my iPhone apps - ie. anything from the iTunes store seems to be affected.
Any ideas why it would suddenly decide that I can't play my audio / video purchases any longer? And how do I deauthorize the other 4 "ghost" machines to get my media back!

Man, this is apparently happening to more than just me. Which makes me feel a 'little' better. But still ****** me off because I can't watch a single movie, TV show I've purchased going back years. Even 'free' downloads!
Songs play fine. It's only video content. Like some of you, I've also received almost 'overzealous' emails from Apple, attempting to help me resolve the issue. My guess is, they screwed up, they know it's quite obvious they screwed up, and they're trying to quash all this before it gets out. Plus they want to avoid issuing massive refunds to numerous customers. I would imagine this could become kinda pricey after refunding just a handful of iTunes user's purchased movies, TV shows, music videos, et al.
I was even desperate enough to try purchasing a new movie, thinking another purchase would 'hopefully' prove to the software (as if it's intelligent!) that I owned the content long since purchased, sitting on my hard-drive. Fat chance. That would have been too easy.
Crazy thing is, all shows, movies, 'iTunes-downloaded video' of any kind, transfer and play on my iPod same as always. Even after syncing since the problem started.
My computer keeps giving me the same error message: "This computer is not authorized to play this content. Please open iTunes to authorize computer." Or something similar. That's the gist anyway. Never mind the fact iTunes already IS opened or I wouldn't be OPENING the content to begin with.
The problem totally has Apple stumped and I want my old, "pre-Genius" iTunes back because that's when this problem started—with iTunes 8.
The perpetual fixing of what's not even broken, repackaging it, and then re-selling it to us all over again is beginning to drive me a bit crazy. No wonder some of the top audio engineers and producer friends of mine are still using G3s and G4s that they never connect to the web—keeping their machines 'frozen in time' and protected from any downtime from ludicrous updates.
