Trying to authorize new computer

using ID and password from previous computer get error message: "you can only authorize this computer with an adobe ID that hasn't been used to autorzie any other computer or mobiel device"
since the ID is my e-mail and I only have one e-mail I don't know how to authorize my computer

In order to change it to a different computer you must first deactive the computer you no longer wish to use it on...see pic

  • Fried my hard drive.  Trying to authorize new computer (store authorize computer).  I get a box that says the account has already been created.

    Fried hard drive and replaced computer.  Trying to authorize my new computer to download music on the account I created with old computer.  I get a box that says the account hs already been created.  I know that.  I created it.  Has anyone else out there run into this before?

    Unless the process has changed, you won't be able to do that (I've been there, done that...). You can either opt to de-authorize all (doesn't matter if it's only one) which you're allowed to do once a year, or, if you don't want to "waste" that option, contact iTunes support.

  • Error when trying to authorize new computer to play a song

    Hello,
    i just transferred all my songs from one computer to the next, as well as my husbands music. everytime we try to play a song that is associated with his apple id, i get the error "We could not complete your itunes store request. An unknown error ocurred (-50). There was an error in the itunes stores. Please try again later"
    Any ideas?

    Not really, other than trying at a really inconvenient time when most people are asleep, such as 4AM USA Pacific when the Apple servers are probably not busy.
    edit- tell me, are you able to go to the store and download a free single of the week?

  • I am trying to authorize my computer and I get an error message: The required directory was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed. Help?

    I am trying to authorize my computer and I get an error message: The required directory was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed. Help?

    I used Terminal to change the permissions on the folder in question.  I followed the instructions in this article:
    iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization
    In my case, the folder was there, so I needed the command to change permissions on the folder, not to create one.   I was hesitant to use Terminal b/c I know that if I made an error I could wipe out my hard drive or render my computer unusable.  So to be SURE I didn't make an error, I carefully copied the command from that page and *pasted* it into Terminal.  Also, before I could do anything in Terminal, I had to go change my admin password (it had been a blank password before and that's not acceptable for making changes in Terminal).  I was just super careful when entering my password or doing anything else while Terminal was open (making sure I didn't accidently hit the spacebar or another key, etc.)  And it fixed the problem right away.
    What was confusing for me was that the iTunes error message said to change permissions in the FINDER, which is what I was trying to do.  It didn't mention Terminal.  What would really be helpful is if Apple included a link to a page like this in their error message.

  • I get this message when trying to authorize my  computer. This apple id has not been used yet with the itunes store. Do i have to purchase first

    get this message when trying to authorize my  computer. This apple id has not bee used with the itunes store.
    Do i have to purchase something, before i can authorize my computer.Thank you in advance for any answers received.

    You cannot buy anything from the iTunes Store until you authorize the computer. Are you unable to authorize it? If so see the following:
    Authorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.

    I am trying to authorize another computer and it wont give me the option...any help?

    You are looking at the Store drop-down menu ? If you are using a PC with iTunes 11 and the menus aren't showing then control-B should get them to show. If you are using a Mac then it should be at the top of your Mac's screen.

  • TS1389 I'm trying to authorize my computer...

    I'm trying to authorize a new computer so I can play my iTunes music that was previously purchased? I can't figure it out from the instructions.

    If the computer's running Mac OS X, move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store, and choose Authorize this Computer.
    If the computer's running Windows, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.
