Someone Else's music on my iTunes

I was listening to music on my iTunes, and as the song I was listening to was ending I was scrolling down to find a new song. I happened to scroll past an album cover I had never seen before. I scrolled back up and it was one track from an album by Bright Eyes that I had never downloaded before or even heard of. I clicked on the track and I got the message that says "This computer is not authorized to play this song. Would you like to authorize it?" I noticed the Apple ID was familiar, and sure enough the song belongs to a friend of mine who really likes Bright Eyes. I asked her about it and she has never sent it to me nor have I ever seen it in my Library before today. How is her music magically on my iTunes?

Well, if it has her AppleID, she must have put it there when you were not looking, is all I can surmise. Perhaps an April Fool's joke?
You can't listen to it unless she authorizes your PC with her account credentials. You could delete it, if it bothers you to look at it.

  • Can I sign into someone else's computer and download iTunes videos to transfer to my home using a memory card?

    Here's my issue. I live in an area where the fastest available internet connection is 1.5 mb/sec with a limit of 150 gb/month. I purchase tv series passes from iTunes and I have fallen behind in my downloads. My father lives about 15 minutes away from me where he has access to a much faster cable internet connection w/out the monthly limits. Would it be possible for me to sign into my iTunes account on his computer & download the programs I have waiting to be downloaded? I haven't downloaded them onto any other computer/iPhone, I am just reminded everytime I sign into iTunes that I have numerous downloads pending. They wouldn't be watched on his computer, just downloaded and moved to a usb thumb drive I would take home with me. Then I would move the files to my computer at home which is the base for my iTunes account. I already have 5 pcs linked to my iTunes account, although 3 of them no longer work & 1 is my iPhone, so I wouldn't be able to add his pc as another computer. I'm hoping that someday I will have a faster connection available with higher data limits at my home, but until that happens, I would like to be able to get the programs I have paid for so I could actually watch them. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you

    Use the instructions in this article to locate the purchased songs on your hard disk, and then burn the song files to a data CD; next, import the songs on your computer. The instructions in this article may also be useful. If you burn the files to an audio or MP3 CD, some quality may be lost.

  • How do I copy someone else's library?

    Thanks!

    You don't give very much information. Are you talking about copying all of someone else's music, etc on to your computer for your use? If so, this really isn't the place to ask.
    If, on the other hand, you're talking about some perfectly reason for copying someone else's library, please give more details about what you're trying to do. It will help get you a better answer.
    Best of luck.

    Update to what? The 3G you want to update? You have ios3 or 4 on that 3G?
    Go to a friend, authorize that pc.

    I have a different problem, perhaps someone can help.
    My friends music library is on a hard drive, I can move songs to my library, they play fine on my computer.....However, when I try to move them to my i-phone, they turn to a light grey color and will not play on my phone.  They also have a circle with dots in front of the song.
    Some security limitation apparently, just trying to over-ride.

  • HT1386 I have an app called ipieta which was originally downloaded onto an ipod. I gave the ipod to someone else, but now that I've had the iphone I can not get the audio even though it is downloaded into itunes music like it said to do.  It won't work.

    I have an app called ipieta which was originally downloaded onto an ipod. I gave the ipod to someone else, but now that I've had the iphone I can not get the audio even though it is downloaded into itunes music like it said to do.  It won't work.  I've tried more than several times to get help but nothing helps. Do I need to deauthorize the ipod or perhaps erase all the downloaded ipieta stuff and start over?
    Thanks for any suggestions

    Sorry. There's nothing anyone can do. The current version of the facebook app will not run on 4.2.1. The iPhone 3G won't run anything higher than 4.2.1. You're stuck.
    Maybe it's time to buy yourself a new iPod Touch.

  • Itunes is showing someone else's library of music in "owner's library".  How can I fix this?

    I have just purchased this laptop and just tried authorizing my itunes account for this mac and syncing it with my iphone.  It didn't sync and loaded someone else's library under "owner's library".  I am not sure what to do about this, I thought maybe it was just combining all my past music libraries, but this definitely is not my music-there are bands I've never heard of and while I know sometimes new pcs come with some free sample songs this is thousands of songs so that's not the case.  Can anybody tell me what might be going on with my library and how to fix it?

    Yeah, ouch .  I can take it in tomorrow, but was really hoping to be done with the set up tonight so I don't have to wait all day at IT tomorrow.  iTunes support says I should call during regular business hours.  So I am just trying to read other postings that might be similar.  I just tried my loading my old ipod and that worked alright, hope it is not just my phone-I love my music on there and then still there's the problem of the "shared" library that I didn't select.

  • Purchasing music on someone else's computer

    What do I do if I logged on to iTunes Music Store on someone else's computer to buy a song under my account? It doesn't show up in my list of purchased music on my own computer. Is there a way I can get to the song that I purchased?

    If they're networked put it in your drop box, if not, you could email it.
