TS1389 I am trying to authorize my new computer to download all old and new songs From my library

How do I authorize my new computer so I can download my old and new songs off my library

Authorization and Deauthorization
See iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization for Macs.
See How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld for Windows.
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.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
  1. Open iTunes on a computer
  2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
  3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
  4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
  5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

  • Got a new computer, just downloaded i-tunes and such all over again. Now wanting to watch a movie and Apple TV is saying "cannot connect to internet"

    We're trying to watch a movie using our Apple TV. It is saying "cannot connect to internet?"  WE thought it was because we just got a new computer, so i went through the process of downloating i-tunes all over again...yet we still have the problem. ??? PLease help

    What exactly has changed?
    Just the computer, other things?
    More information on your actual setup is needed -  Particularly how things are connected on the local network and to each other.
    In theory the new computer should not affect Apple TV's ability to rent and play a movie if the rental was made on the AppleTV itself.  The problem may have nothing to do with the new computer unless changes have been made on the router to let it connect and it's caused AppleTv to disconnect, or the PC has been assigned the AppleTV's IP address which is no longer available to AppleTV hence it thinks it's lost connection.
    Try powering off the router, restarting and see if the AppleTV internet connection returns. Restart AppleTv too if needed. Check any ethernet cable connections or wi-fi settings on AppleTV if it doesn't re-establish the internet connection.  By the way an ethernet cable plugged into AppleTV will disconnect it's wi-fi connections.

  • I need to get the music off my Ipod Nano 2nd GEN onto either ITunes or in a music foldes on my new computer. Not all the music was purchased from Apple Itunes HOW DO I DO THIS WITHOUT LOOSING ALL MY MUSIC??

    I have not had a computer for several years and I just got a new one. My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. Thank goodness I had it all on my Ipod Nano 2nd GEN. Now my problem is that I don't know how to get the music off my Ipod Nano onto my new computer!!! I was able to get the songs that I purchased thru ITunes by just authorizing my new computer. But I have alot more music that is on my Ipod nano that I can't put into my ITunes library. In fact, I can't even get my music into a file folder on my computer!! I really need help. I don't have any copies of the music anywhere else and some of it is hard to get. How do I get my music either into ITunes or into a file folder on my new computer or even if I could get my computer to recognize my Ipod and sync all the music into windows media or something like that. Every time I connect my IPod all that happens is that it tells me if I sync the IPod that it will replace all the music from my ITunes library on to my IPod. And I am guessing that means all my music on the IPod will be erased. PLEASE HELP ME!!!! Thanks from the bottom of my songsters heart

    From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
    They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

  • If i already have an itunes account with my family can i open a new account to sync my old and new phone

    if I already have an iTunes account with my family can I open a new iTunes account to sync my old iphone 4 and new iphone 5?

    Hi Rileycarline,
    You can easily have an iCloud account that is separate from the Apple ID that is used for iTunes purchases. Take a look at the article below to walk you through that specific setup process of have an account for iCloud and one for Store purchases. 
    Set up your Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes

    Take it easy,

  • Is there a way to sync my IPhone 4s to a new computer WITHOUT losing all of my 300 songs?

    I recently moved and my old computer is no longer here. All of my songs are still on my IPhone 4s, but whenever I try to sync my phone to this new computer, it wants to delete all of my songs. A solution would be amazing

  • I have a new computer that downloaded all of my playlist. but i cannot play all songs. i get a error that say "the song could not be used because the original file could not be found. would you like to locate it? but it does not help to resolve.

    i installed itunes to my new computer and transfered all my playlist from the older computer. the software came with the new computer hp link up. the problem
    comes in where i want to play a certain song on a playlist and this error pops up "the song could not be used because the original file could not be found.
    would you like to locate it? which is of no help.
    is there a solution to this problem?

    The file path for these songs IS NOT correct per your iTunes Library file. 
    See: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=listmias  for an Applescript to locate these files for re-adding.

  • New iMac-how to use old and new

    So, I'm in the middle of migrating my settings from my old iMac to my new iMac. I've already started transfering my settings and applications.
    I was going to give my old iMac to my husband, who now has a MacMini. After I started transferring, he told me I should just keep both iMacs for working. It would actually be convenient - Keep one for having browser, planning, mail, business apps open at all times and the other for heavy-duty Photoshop, etc. work.
    What should I do to be able to work on both? Do I need to re-do my set up on the new  one? The settings and apps really should be the same any way - do I need to create a different user?

    Do I need to set up a different user on each computer?
    No
    Right now, becuase I was in the process of migrating, the new iMac is a duplicate of what's on the old. Do I need to create a new user on one and delete it on the other? What happens if I have the users duplicated?
    Not necessary, when you migrate it will make a clone of the other machine if you choose all options. If you want then to remain synced  you can do so with the same user account and AppleID assuming you use iCloud and both machines are on Lion. You can sync what I noted in my first post.
    I want to use one more for light business apps and one for my image processing.
    If your goal is to sync apps and data currenlty there isn't an automated method of doing that other than keeping the data on an account such as DropBox. If you don't have a DropBox account then that may be what you're looking for however you will have to pay for data in excess of 2GB. The first 2GB is free.

  • New Computer, is there any way to import songs from an ipod to a computer?

    My computer doesn't have the songs from my old computer so I was wondering if there was a way to import songs from an iPod to a computer, because if I update my iPod now, all of my songs will be lost.

    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    SharePod is also freeware.

  • I have an old and new mac and used transfer manager to put the old mac on the new so that i have both users on one computer but now I can only log in as the new and as guest so cant access my old computer docs on this newer mac.  Help!

    Hello I have just sold my old macbook and so transfered all my data to my newer macbook using transfer manager.  This allowed my to login on the newer computer under either the old or new username so I could access both computers' data on my newer computer.  Last night that worked but today I can only access my newer user and a guest user.  Where did my old user name and all the data go after the transfer?  Help please! I have to give the buyer the old computer today!
    Aminah

    I am not familiar with "transfer manager." Did you perhaps use the Migration Assistant? What operating system is installed on your new computer?
    If you look in your hard drive, in the Users folder, do you see a folder with the name from your user on your old computer?
    Best of luck.

    I have an issue. Recently I tried to authorize another card to pay my balance due and itunes would not authorize the card. Now that I am looking at my banking statement/ online banking it shows that multiple times the card was charged for the exact amount due ,21.02. but the payment already came out of my primary banking account, What do I do because I can not speak to a regular person since it is an Itunes account issue. I need some sort of help and I really want the funds refunded... I took screen shots proving all of this information.

    I am trying to download my library to my new computer. can't do it following the instructions from your site

    We are all itunes users just like you.
    If you are transferring from Mac to Mac, then copy the entire itunes folder.
    You can also type :" move itunes library" into the google search bar for directions.
    Since you do not mention exactly what you have tried and what happened, it is difficult to offer much more.
