My computer crashed. How do I authorize the new one for my iPod nano?

My old computer crashed and I restored the music off the iPod back onto this new computer and into iTunes. But, it keeps saying I don't have priveleges to do something. I think it's because the iPod is only registered for the old computer?? I don't know, but could someone please help me out. It's so frustrating dealing with restoring everything and getting your iPod situation back to normal after a computer crash.... Please help me. Thanks.

Do you mean this?

I bought an new computer. My Apple ID did not change. I tried to play old content but received a pop-up that in order to play previously purchased songs, the new computer needs to be authorized to play the old content.

How do I find the license code for my ipod nano?

I'm trying to transfer my music from my ipod to itunes, but it wants my username and license code. I've had this ipod for quite a few years, how do I find the license code?

I don't know of any license code. Are you referring to the Apple ID that was used to purchase content from the iTunes Store?
If you still remember the username to that old account, use this link to reset the password.

You should be able to copy iTunes purchases to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. For music that you've bought from other sources or copied from your own CDs then have you not got a backup of them on, for example, an external drive that you can copy onto the computer ? If not then you will need to find a third-party program to copy them off - this post mentions some that were around a couple of years ago, whether they still exist and work I don't know.

When your computer crashes how do your get the music on your iphone back on your new computer

when your computer crashes how do your get the music on your iphone back on your new computer?

The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases

HT1420 Where is the store menu in iTunes. I just got a new computer. I disconnected the old computer and want to authorize the new one. There is no file menu or store menu anywhere I can see.

Where is the store menu in iTunes? I updated my computer and want to authorize it. I deauthorized the old computer (and probably my desktop at a different location, and want to authorize the new one. The help says that I need to clickon the store menu in iTunes. I do not see any store menu. I can access songs that I purchased a while back, but cannot download any new purchases. If I cannot get this worked out, how do I recoup my money for the new songs? Also, can I transfer the songs I purchased to another service? Brad

It's in the same spot on a Windows machine as well
