Switched to .Mac, now can't play music...

My AT&T email account was going away, so I bought .Mac and changed my Apple ID in iTunes to my new .Mac email address. Now when I try to play music (purchased under the old email), I keep getting a username and password prompt, with the old email address as default. When I enter the old password, it tells me that account doesn't exist any more. When I enter the new email address and password, it tells me how many machines are authorized, but attempts to play songs still come up with a login.
I thought I was supposed to be able to change my iTunes ID. What can I do now?

Yeah...that happened to me too one time. I had to restore the ipod and it worked fine afterwards. I don't know if there's another solution but at least restoring it works.

Bought song on my Mac, now can't play it on my PC - HELP!

Okay so through my iTunes at work on my Mac, I bought a bunch of songs. Now I have the songs in iTunes on my PC at home and when I click on them it says that I am not authorized to play the song. So I enter in my user name and password, it says it has authorized it (1 out of 5 allowed authorizations), but STILL won't play! The e-mail that pops up in the authorize window is my work e-mail address that I used a long time ago when I started using iTunes. (by the way, the songs play fine on my iPod). I have since changed it to my home e-mail--and that is the one that lets me authorize it. It says it's authorized, then when I go to play it, the window pops up again with my work e-mail id. So when I went to do a search for the password for my work e-mail (thinking that maybe i just forgot what it was since it was a long time ago), it tells me that that id is not valid. What is the deal? Does it have something to do with mac>pc? How can I get around this?
Thanks for any insight!

I can find the flders I had there.
You mean you can't find the folders you had there?
What folders? Email folders? iDisk folders?
If iDisk folders, iDisk doesn't exist in iCloud. You should've backed up anything in your iDisk before migrating to iCloud. You can still access iDisk until it is shut down by logging back into MobileMe in System Preferences.

ITunes 8 download - now can't play music from library

I recently had to reinstall my operating system. Moved all my music to back up drive. Downloaded iTunes8 and directed it to see music on back up drive. When I open iTunes, I see the all my songs but....when I select to play a song I get the following error message:
"This computer is not authorized to play "song name". Would you like to authorize it? I then enter my apple ID and password and hit authorize. When I hit the play button again, I receive the following message:
"This machine is already authorized. I hit okay and the whole process starts over again if I try to play the song. HELP!

Unfortunately the Netgear DG834N router is rubbish with Macbook Pro's. I've had a few netgear routers, which were all good with my mac, which is why I bought the 'N' series one as an upgrade to the 'G' version, but basically it crashes my Mac constantly. I get the fade up grey screen forcing my to hard power off my book. everything freezes. It plain just doesn't work. wireless 'N' is still just in draft form and the difference between the Netgear and Mac version on the macbook pro just clash. Netgear haven't updated the firmware on the router since last year, so hopefully the will soon, but I've just gone back to my old 'G' version, and stuck the DG834N on ebay. I tried all the configs, with and with out security and no luck, it always disconnected, froze and crashed.

The 'Shuffle' function on my iPod Classic not longer works on my iPod or in my vehicle. It worked prior to syncing in iTunes using my Macbook. Now I can only play music sequentially. Can anyone assist?

Should be able to go into your sound preferences and choose your output device, you can also try downloading Airfoil and try that, it's a pretty cool app.

I just installed the latest Apple TV software update today. I can still play music from my iPhone 4 to th eATV but purchased movies don't seem to start playing now - or else the buffering time is huge compared with the previous software version. Any fix

I installed the latest software update on our Apple TV - this allows us to access VIMEO. However, although we can still play music from an iPhone 4 we can no longer play purchased tv shows - unless the buffering process has been extended to be glacially slow! It just shows it is loading but under the previous software release a show would start in a minute or two, nothing is happening afer 4 or 5 minutes with this one.

Thank you BDAua. This is what I typed and the reply from Terminal
java -version
java version "1.6.0_45"

BTW - this application does NOT show up in the Applications folder and I consider that a bit odd.
I also tried typing Java for my computer to search for and this is what I got under

Can I play music wirelessly from my Imac to my hi fi?

Can I play music wirelessly from my Imac to my hi fi?
Chris

Yes, AUX in jack. Radio shack may be required to make sure your connectors are compatible. For example, you may need a standard RCA splitter to mini-RCA. The mini-RCA (3.5mm) is for the airport express while the dual (red-black) for your AUX in. Hard to say without seeing the connectors.
Itunes on Mac sends music to airport express (you select it in iTunes), the airport express sends the music out via the mini-RCA, your CD player auxillary input converts the RCA signal to sound.

Recently can't play music samples on Amazon France and Germany via their usual 'Listen to all' button. Can only play samples individually. Message says roughly RealPlayer not installed on my naigator, but I've changed nothing and have RealPlayer on my PC

Recently can't play music samples on Amazon France (and Germany, though they've now gone over to Flash, which seems to have fixed it after (re)installing Flash Player) via their usual 'Listen to all' button. Can only play samples individually. Message says roughly RealPlayer not installed on my navigator (see box below), but I've changed nothing and have always had RealPlayer on my PC at least. The 'Aid' page is useless in that it does not provide any links to sites from which one could download whatever it is Amazon Fr thinks one now needs.

Hello Neil.
It has been reported by other uses that RealPlayer is having some compatibility problems with Firefox. I believe this is mostly notorious with RealPlayer Plugin Record Plugin, but it may be the same thing here. Please contact RealPlayer developers for support.

Can't play music from my music list?

I just bought an iPhone 4S. I set it up, restored backup and synced it (used to own a 3GS) everything is fine but for some reason I can't play music from it. It says Now Playing and there's a little icon in the corner but its not playing. Even the little bar at the top that has that little dot that moves along when a song is played isn't even moving. I know I have sound because I've played videos for my little guy and I've previewed songs from iTunes. Could I have done something wrong when I was syncing? Thanks!

Can't play music that I have bought

I dont have the same username on my mac in OS X. Which leads to problem to deauthorize my itunes account. I can’t play music that I buy, and free movies doesn’t work either. I know this is the problem, cause I have tried to reformat using my old account name in OS X, which led to no problems in iTunes. I don’t want to use my old account name (OS X).

My old username in OS X----->karasjok
My present username in OS X----->Stian
iTunes account is not the same username as in OS X, I am aware of that. Problem is that I can’t play music bought from iTunes, neither can I deauthorize my iTunes account.
But if I reformat my OS X, use my old username, all of my music bought from iTunes plays well.

Can't play music in Sonata 2011 after ios6

I have an iPhone 4 (not 4s) and after upgrading to ios6, I can't play music in my Hyundai Sonata. As always, I connect my phone to the Sonata using the manufacturers supplied cable. The car will begin to read it, but will eventually just stop reading and revert to whatever media was playing before or to the radio. The iPhone is left in an odd state where the Music app will just cycle through my albums until I shut the unit down and restart it. I tried using an Apple iPhone USB cable, but that generates a "Connection Error" right away. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a solution?
Thanks

Sorry to take so long to reply, but I figured out the problem. Apparently, if you select a song to play on the iPhone, and the song is not available, the Music app will cycle through your music, until it finds a song that is actually on the iPhone. I believe this is a change with iOS6. Its my wife's car and I don't drive it that often, so there was a lag between installing iOS6, clearing space on the device and actually trying to use it in the car. Now to be clear, not all of my music was missing, just most of them and while troubleshooting the problem I actually played a couple of songs on the device to make sure nothing was wrong with the iPhone. As luck would have it, I selected two of the songs that were still on the device, so I neglected to consider my space clearing. I google'd my question and after much filtering, found the answer.
Apple should fix this such that at least one of two things happen in this situation:
1) The iPhone tells you that the song is not on the device.
2) The iPhone does not list songs, playlists, artists, etc. that are not actually there.
Although both of these fall into the 'duh' category, the second one makes the most sense as I would have seen right away that my music was gone.
Anyway, thanks for the reply. It made me look deeper.
