My Apple ID account does not show my new laptop as an authorized computer

I have purchased a new computer and am trying to put my itunes / Applie ID account to recognize my new computer.  I only have 2 other authorized accounts in my Apple ID.  I also am trying to sync my iPod Shuffle but it won't authorize that either, which did not work on my old computer either.  I have reset it to manufacturer settings but still have never been able to download the songs in my iTunes account.  I'm frustrated!!

Hey dsms12,
Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines how to authorize your computer:
Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC

If you are having issues authorizing your computer, you can attempt the steps in these articles:
iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization

iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

Thanks,

    My IPad 2, IPhone 3GS ans iPod  no longer work with apple TV, I have 2 apple TV in my house and for he last 3 weeks the iPod was the only one we could use for appleTV now none of them works, the apple TV icon does not show up any more. Re-started everything.

    Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
    RESPONSES:
    1)   When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC.  I simply used the same iTunes login and account.  I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store.  If I click "Download Previous Purchases"  text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
    2)   I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered.  I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam.  Good response for you.  Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome.  I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
    QUESTIONS:
    3)   So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download?  Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
    SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU... 
    I work in the computer support section for the Military.  The only problem is we use Windows , lol.  Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover.  I go back next month though I hope.  But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein.  Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself. 

  • HT204053 Pop up menu shows my Apple ID in my iphone as my old email Apple ID. This happens when I try to go into iCloud . It does not show my new apple ID.

    Hi jackburkholder,
    You will need to delete the iCloud account with your old ID, but before you can do that, you will have to go back into Manage Your Apple ID, and change your Apple ID back to the old address. Don't worry about verifying it, you just need to change it.
    Then, go into Settings>iCloud and turn off Find My iPhone (it will ask you for a password - put in your current one to turn it off). Then, scroll down to the bottom of the screen and Delete the iCloud account using your current password.
    Also go into Settings>iTunes & App Store, clidk on your old ID and sign out of iTunes.
    Then go back to Manage Your Apple ID and put your new Apple ID back in.
    Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with your new Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID.
    Go back into Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign on with your new Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID.
    Cheers,

  • No Mirroring in Ipad 2? I have IPAD2 and Apple Tv 4.3. I can airplay videos/music from Ipad2 to my HDTV via ATV, but I cant mirror it. When I select airplay to switch from Ipad2 to Apple TV, Mirroring does not show as an option. What am I missing?

    Make sure you register the software with Adobe.  If you did not purchase it thru Adobe they will not have a record of the purchase in your account.

  • My CC account does not show my subscription. How do I fix that?

    My CC account does not show my subscription that I have been paying for. It just says that I have a free account. So, now that I have a new computer (the old one died dramatically), I can't install Photoshop, Illustrator, bridge or indesign. I can't seem to get in touch with an actual adobe person who could fix this billing problem.

  • HT1386 my iphone does not sync with itunes on my second authorized computer, please help. i changed the first authorized computer in May 2012 and have been using the second authorized computer since then but it cannot sync - please help!!

    my iphone does not sync with itunes on my second authorized computer, please help. i changed the first authorized computer in May 2012 and have been using the second authorized computer since then but it cannot sync - please help!!

    "I was thinking I would just connect my iPhone and all of my music and other stuff would transfer to the new computer. "
    Not true. The music and pic sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
    You really should transfer everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your computer. Since you do not have access to the old computer, then use your backup copy of the old computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then you would have to transfer itunes purchased as described earlier. Any other itunes content would be lost.
    You can e-mail photo library pics to yourself, but they will not be of the original quality.
    Before syncing, enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data.

  • HT5527 My iCloud account does not show any additional storage beyond the 5GB

    My iCloud account manager does not show any storage beyond the standard 5 Gbytes that are free.  I supposedly have been granted additional storage according to an email from Apple but where is it?

    iMovie on your Mac  has nothing to do with iCloud storage.  Download and use Find Any File  to search for your iMovie project.  FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't, like invisible folders, packages and system folders.  If there a file with your file name on it anywhere on the hard drive FAF will find it.
    Do you have Time Machine enabled backing up to an external HD?  This situation is exactly what TM is good at.  It makes hourly backups so you can go back to find and restore the missing file.  All HDs crash at some time or another and having a good backup strategy is the only protection against that.

  • TS1424 Apple Mobile device does not show up after installing 10.0.7.21

    Receive message "Apple Device not started". Apple Device does not show up in Adminstrative Tools, Services. Windows 7 64bit, IOS6.0.1.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if a component such as Apple Mobile Device Support won't install normally.

  • My Adobe ID account does not show my purchased products

    When I log into my Adobe ID, it does not show that I have purchased Photoshop CS5, when I indeed did. How do I change this?

    When you activate during Acrivation you need a internet connection activation will register your product and serial number into you adobe id account.
    Been awhile since I bought a product, but as I remember it there was a box that asked "do you want to register now or later".  You have to choose yes and then fill in the blanks with your name, address, e-mail and whatever.  It does not to this automatically.

  • Transaction posted to subledger account does not show as open

    Hi Experts,
    After configuring the basic settings, I posted an expense based vendor invoice using T.Code FB60. When I checked this entry in Vendor line item(FBL1N), it does not show as open, but cleared. At line item level clearing details show as follows "Clearing     10/09/2011 / ALE-extern". Is it a technical problem or a fuctional?

    Hi,
    Please check this note which may help you:
    Note 712678 - ALE FIDCMT Correction Report: Reset Clearing 'External ALE'
    Note 382005 - ALE FIDCC1/2: correction report set/reset clearing
    I dont know which has been indicated in note but still it is something regarding external system for which your document gets cleared automatically in external system.
    You can also check with your ABAP or BASIS person.

  • I have just bought an iPod Nano to replace my previous one which died,when I open my iTunes it does not show the new iPod, and refuses to allow me to sync my existing library, the new iPod does not show in my computer only on devices, any suggestions ?

    Question: I have just bought an iPod Nano to replace my previous one which "died" My computer does not recognize the new iPod and only shows it in devices and printers. I cannot sync my existing iTunes to the new iPod, there is no way I can do it. Any help please?

    Hey there longislandmacca,
    It sounds like your iPod is not recognized in either Explorer, or in iTunes on your PC. That can be frustrating, expecially when its a new device. I recommend you use the following article to help resolve that issue named:

  • Apple TV 3 does not show movie rentals in standard definition

    I am a bit surprized as I have now ATV1 and ATV3 and I compare both of them onthe same TV. I noticed that iTunes rental store shows icon to rent the same movie in SD and HD on older ATV (1st gen), but on new one it offers only HD version of the same movie ("A Christmas Story"). Why is that?   Some may want to save some money on those older movies that do not require HD.
    Is this how it is supposed to work or there is an option to be enabled?
    Thanks.

    Winston,
    To what?
    My old ATV1 shows SD movies in any resolution. I hope you know that ATV 1 was already 1080 (even though hardware was not strong enough and it overheated). That is only ATV2 was downgrade to 720p.
    So why would I change resolution to see store SD offering? Your recomendation does not make sense.
    Any other idea?
    Thanks
