Trouble Authorizing Songs

Hello! I am trying to authorize songs purchased with an old old email account that is closed. The option of having a "verification" email sent doesn't work, and when I answer the security questions, it won't accept one of the answers which I absolutely know is correct. When I try to authorize using my current Apple ID, it says "this computer is already authorized" but I still can't play the songs? Help! Please!

  • HT5610 I am having trouble authorizing my computer to allow me to access songs I have purchased through itunes on my iPad.  The directions say to select the "authorize computer" in the menu but i don't see that anywhere in the iTunes menu.  Any ideas?

    I am having trouble authorizing my computer to allow me to access songs I have purchased through itunes from my ipad.  The directions say to select "authorize this computer" from the menu in itunes but I cannot find that anywhere.  Either I'm not finding the correct menu or it's somewhere else. Any ideas?  Thank you in advance!

    If you're using iTunes 11 click on the box icon in the top-left corner to see the " Show Menu Bar "  
    and from the Menu Bar select Store...
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.

    Hi asims01,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The information below may be able to answer your questions about how to delete songs from your iPhone:
    Deleting songs downloaded to your device
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap More > Songs at the bottom.
    Scroll or search for the song you would like to delete from your device.
    Swipe right to left on the song, and then tap Delete.
    Note: You must be in Artists, Songs, or Albums view to delete songs from your device. Deleting from a playlist won't remove a song from your iOS device.
    Also, this information can be found on page 64 of the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
    If you have iOS 7, this will delete the song from local storage, but the song will still appear with a cloud symbol in the Music app, as you've noticed. To hide the iTunes in the Cloud purchases, navigate to Settings > iTunes & App Store, and disable "Show All: Music”
    There may be a few orphaned songs on your iPhone that were partially downloaded or corrupted in some way. If that is the case, you can erase all of the music from your phone.  Follow the instructions below and select the Music app under Usage:
    iPhone, iPad, and iPod: Understanding capacity

    I hope this information helps ....

    Im having trouble downloading songs from ITunes to my Nano. Help please

    What happens when you try to sync songs to your Nano?  Are you getting any error messages?  Does the iPod appear under Devices in iTunes?
    What options and configurations do you have enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music tabs?

    I have the same problem, but discovered I can 'gift' itunes. I can't update my itunes version because my operating system doesn't support it and I can't update my operating system because my laptop is too old. 2008. have rebooted,  retried, done all I can think of... still not working. Waiting for I support to respond.

  • Trouble deleting songs off Music with new IOS7

    Is anybody else having trouble deleting songs off their iPhone using ios7?

    What sort of "troubles" are you having? It might be that the songs you're seeing are stored in the cloud and not on the phone
    try Settings>Music and turn show all music off and see if you can delete after that

  • I am having trouble with songs that will not play completely through.

    I am having trouble with songs that will not finish playback. The songs play about 75% of the way and then stop mid-song. This is true for my PC and songs transferred to my iPod. I have redownloaded (and repaid) for one song to see if that helps, which it did. But that can become expensive as I am starting to find an increasing amount of songs that are haaving this problem.

    Take it to a genius bar. It's probably something with the magnets.

  • HT1420 I am having trouble "authorizing" my computer. I don't see an option that says "authorize my computer".

    I am having trouble "authorizing" my computer. I tried to follow the steps I found posted on line, but I don't see an option that says "authorize my computer". Maybe I am looking in the wrong place??

    Open itunes.

    Click Authorize

  • I'm having trouble authorizing my mac

    im having trouble authorizing my mac

    The standard way is to go to Store > Authorize This Computer in iTunes' menu.
    If you've already tried that, then you would need to tell us exactly what steps you have tried, and what you see that indicates failure.
    Also tell us what version of iTunes you are running, what version of OS X you are running, and what type of computer you have (and how old).

  • I am having trouble authorizing my computer and ipad and iPhone  help

    I am having trouble authorizing my computer and syncing ALL music, tones, etc. between Mac, iphone, and ipad.

    Did you use different Apple IDs purchasing your content? If so, you need to activate your Mac with all existing Apple IDs... even the ones you don't use anymore. This should do.
    In iTunes go to Menubar and click on "Store" -> Activate this computer

  • I'm having trouble transferring songs from Laptop to devices

    I'm having trouble transferring songs from my laptop to both my iPad 2 and iPhone 5. I just added a new album to my library, and where before I used to select the songs I wanted to add to my devices, and then drag and drop them, this doesn't appear to work. I watched the tutorial and it says there is an 'Add to' option when you clkick on the device name in the top right hand corner. That doesn't appear on mine at all. Completely confused and nearing the end of my tether!

    Make sure your device iOS is updated:

  • Trouble downloading songs from the Cloud

    Hi, I'm having trouble downloading songs onto my iPhone 4. My sister just bought a bunch of songs on her iPhone 4, and they showed up in my phone, but will not download. When I tried to go through iTunes to download them, instead of using the Cloud, they will not download and the message "Download error. Tap to retry." appears even though I've tried see real times. Is there anything I can do to download them?

    Disk Utility has two things (at least my old version does), First Aid and Permissions.  If your drive reports problems when verifying with FA then you have to boot from another drive to try to repair.  Permissions can run on active boot disk. Run FA before Permissions.
    On occasion I have had FA report problems when verifying on my active boot disk and I think it was because files were changing and it was seeing errors that weren't really there.  I frequently verify my active drive (quit all applications) and have it report all-clear so usually I verify the active drive and only verify externally if I see an issue.
    On the beachball issue, how long do you let it go before force quit?  Some things just take a long time to process, and smartlists can be a pretty heavy demand in iTunes.

  • Trouble authorizing old songs

    I keep typing in my ID and password to authorize my computer to play songs I have had for years on my itunes and they still won't play even after I get the message that this computer has been authorized it still asks me to authorize again... anyone have an idea to help me?

    I am having the exact same problem. I'm asked again and again to authorize only one song from a purchased album. The rest of the album plays just fine! It's completely aggravating. Like you, I have tried all of the troubleshooting ideas presented in the forums. I wish there were a way to contact the iTunes store directly about this.
