Replaced my computer. Now cannot authorize the new one.

I use Adobe Editions in downloading books from the library to read on my Nook reader. I recently replaced my original desk top computer with a new one. Now I can still download books to Digital Editions on my new computer but cannot transfer them to my Nook. I keep getting a notice that I need to authorize my Nook. But when I try, I get a message saying :You can only authorize this computer with an ID that hasn't been previously used to authorize any other computer or mobile devices. Please try again." Since my Adobe ID is my email address, Do I have to set up a seperate Email address just to create a second Adobe ID?
Seems rather redundant. Is there a conflict between my original PC and the new one? Help! Getting kinda frustrated.

You certainly only want one AdobeID for all your devices if at all possible.
It may be that the Nook has kept some memory of an older registration id.
You should be able to undo that, then reregister. To undo that, try (in order)
ctrl-shift-E to ADE with the Nook plugged in should work.
If that fails, try to delete 'Digital Editions' and hidden '.adobe-digital-editions' directories from the Nook.
If that fails, try a factory reset of the Nook.
That will clear all your things from the Nook, so you may NOT want to risk that one.

Have an all in one printer 4622. It was connected to a VZW mifi and worked flawlessly. I had to upgrade it becasue it died and now I cannot figure out how to configure the new one. Please help.

You will have to connect the printer to the computer, USB.
First you will need set your network settings to DEFAULT.
Go to settings on your printer screen. Then Network. Go down to restore network settings.
Go to the computer. Then go to Start Menu.
1. Go to All Programs
2. HP Folder
3. Go to the printer name
4. Go to Wireless Configuration or Convert USB to wireless
This will reconnect the printer to the network.

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

I had my i-pod synked to my old computer and i lost that computer, now i have a new one, can i synk it to my i-pod and keep all the data thats on the i-pod

i had my i-pod synced to my old computer and i lost that computer. now i have a new one , and i want to sync it to my i-pod can i do that and save all my music

iPod classic?
Recover media from iPod
See this post from forum regular Zevoneer for options on moving your iPod data back to your computer.
... or iPod touch?
You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

TS2972 Homesharing- can see new computer's library on old one, but cannot see the old computer's library on the new one(which is the one i need to transfer all my music)

Other info- both have latest version, have restarted itunes, the computer, etc multiple times...have turned homesharing off and on multiple times..nothing is working

If the aim is to move the library from the old computer to the new one, don't use home sharing. See this migrate iTunes library post.

I have transferred itunes and library using home sharing. How do I 'turn off' the old computer and just use the new one? home sharing requires both to be on at the moment.

I have transferred my itunes content and playlists to a new computer using home sharing. Now I want to use my new computer only, so need to 'turn off' the old one. What do i do?

Hello shiv99,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have used Home Sharing to play the music from one computer on another, but now you would like to only use the new computer. It sounds as though you have set up the content to share between computers, but have not actually I’m ported the media from the old computer to the new one. I would suggest following the troubleshooting steps located in the attached article to import you music from the old computer to the new one. After that process is complete, you can turn off Home Sharing if you would like and the content will be in the iTunes library on your new computer.

I bought a new computer. I need to authorize the new one to play old content. How do I do that?

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. I checked my Apple account to for a field to do that but can't find anything. How do I authorize my new computer to play previously purchased content?
Thanks for any suggestions or help you can render.

HT6154 My Apple account password has been reset on the count that it says it's incorrect. I just made a new one after making a previous new one, and now it says the new one is incorrect after trying to log in to download an app. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED & C

My Apple account password has been reset a couple times due to Apple telling me my passwords are incorrect. I know they aren't because I have already had to change the password three times, and I keep record of my password. Yet, it continuously tells me my password is incorrect. I have just changed it, again, and now I cannot log into the itunes store to download an app because it's telling me my new password is incorrect.
I just bought the new iphone 5s today, so does this have anything to do with it? Please help, this is extremely frustrating.

Need to Resume download to complete the ongoing Process.
Last Resort, put the iPhone in DFU mode (Google How to do that). Connect in iTunes. Follow on-screen prompts to Restore. All Data would be lost, if not backed up earlier.
To save the photographs you may have to use third party software. Google is your friend.

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?

If not, you'll have to be more explicit in what you are trying to do and what messages you receive when trying to do it.

I created a new iTunes library and now cannot find the original one, which has a thousand albums on it! What happened?

I created a new iTunes library to put speciald songs into, using the instructions on the Help section of iTunes. NOW - I cannot locate my original iTunes library, which has a zillion tunes on it! When I open iTunes to "select a library" the only choise I am given is th one I just created, which only has one album on it. What happened to the original iTunes that I just got the way I wanted it, with millions of tunes on it??????

Replacing my current graphics card - is the new one compatible with my pc?

Hi,
1. Product name and number:
HP Pavilion G5220sc desktop PC XS305EA
2. Operating systems installed:
Windows 7 64-bit
I'm not at all sure what to do. I'm very much into the PC game World of Warcraft and do no longer think it's optimal playing on low graphic options. That's why I'm considering replacing my current graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce 315) with the upgrade (Inno3D GeForce GTX 560 (1 GB))
What should i do?
Your opinion on this topic would be extremely appreciated.

Q: I can install an extension by previous version of Extension Manager, but cannot by the new one

You can check if the "maxversion" attribute of "product" tag is set in MXI file of the extension( For ZXP file, extract it with 7-Zip or other tools, and open MXI file with text editor ). This is the maximum version of the product that this extension can be used. For example, if this attribute is set to "7.5" in an InDesign extension, this extension can be installed in InDesign 7.5( CS5.5 ) or earlier versions, but not in InDesign 8.0( CS6 family ). As a result, you cannot install it by Extension Manager CS6.

You need to restore the pre-upgrade backup of the library file in the manner shown in Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

my old computer crashed, it was xp i replaced it with windows 7 how do i get my library back from the old computer and put on the new one?

iDevices are not backup devices.
Use the backup of the computer to put everything back.

Have a new computer - how do i move my music, etc from the old computer to the new one?

I have a new computer and want to remove music from the old computer and move to the new one. How do I do it? I have an IPod mini.

Copy the /Home/Music/iTunes/ folder from the old computer to the new one. You can do this using an external hard drive or by connecting the two computers via Firewire cable (if both computers have Firewire ports) -Transferring files between two computers using FireWire - or using your local network via file sharing.

Replaced my computer. Now cannot authorize the new one.
