TS4124 what does it mean when there is an icloud icon in itunes that has a down arrow in the middle of it?

I am having trouble with my itunes account because some of my song will not let me play them because they have an icloud icon with a down arrow in the middle and whenever I click on the song to play it a message pops up and says "You must authorize this computer before you can download the previous purchase". what does that mean and how do i fix it?

The iCloud icon is used to re-download your already purchased content from iTunes
To authorize your PC click Store in the Menu Bar and then Authorize This Computer
Note: If using iTunes 11 press Alt or Ctrl+B to show the Menu Bar

    What does it mean when there is one long beep?

    See this article.  By the way, the reason no one responded is because Mac OS X 10.3 and 10.8 are mutually exclusive, and can't run on the same machine.

    Turn on the computer. Take the charging cable and connect one end to the bottom of the Touch and the other to a USB on your computer (back of the computer if this is a desktop computer). iTunes should open automatically and will probably give you a message it has detected an iPod in Recovery mode. Follow the onscreen steps from there and Restore it from any backup on the computer.

    It means you have a hardware problem. That could be the screen itself or the graphics system, GPU.

  • What does it mean when you receive a text on your iphone 6 form your own number and the message is duplicated on each side (sent/recieved) and has "verizon message" with a long number at the end of the text, duplicated as well?

    what does it mean when you receive a text on your iphone 6 from your own number and the message is duplicated on each side (sent/received) and has "verizon message" with a long number at the end of the text, duplicated as well?

        Great question stacybrownie! Let's get to the bottom of this so that it's not a cause for concern. When a message is sent to/from your own number, it will display as one sent, one received. This makes it display two messages as you are seeing. Let's clarify the second part of your question. Where do you see "Verizon Message" exactly? What is the long number at the end of the text? When did this start and is it with all text messages or only this instance?

    What does it mean
    This is an imei number for a product
    that has been replaced?

    What carrier did you buy it from? Are they on this list? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    If they are on that list and you have the original receipt from them showing the serial number, they may be able to correct the error in the Apple database.
    If they're not on that list, you were sold a black market phone.

  • What does it mean when there is a flashing file folder with a question mark when trying to start computer?

    When I try to start my computer a flashing file folder with a question mark is on the screen. I can't open anything up. What does this mean?

    There are four general causes of this issue:
    1. The computer's PRAM no longer contains a valid startup disk setting when there aren't any problems with the disk itself. This can be checked for by pressing the Option key and seeing if the drive appears.
    2. The internal drive's directory structure has become damaged. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to perform the repair.
    3. Critical system files have been deleted. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to reinstall them.
    4. The internal drive has died or become unplugged. This is the most likely case if the computer took a sharp impact or there are unusual sounds coming from its location.

  • What does it mean when there is a red slash through an app that is listed with my apps?

    When I go to my computer and to the App Store I have noticed there is a big red slash mark on some of my apps.  What does this mean? 

    It usually means that you may have upgraded the version of OS X to a version with which these apps are incompatible.

  • What does it mean when a file's preview icon turns black?

    So, I need some help with this one. I'm stumped. I noticed some of my file preview icons turn black. What does this mean? Is the file corrupt? When I try to open the file nothing appears other than a big black image. What's going on? I'm thinking I should reinstall Mac OS X because something might be screwed up. Need advice!

    Mountain Lion Recovery
    Boot up from your computer by holding down the command+r keys.  This will take you to the recovery drive.
    Select Disk Utility & hit Return. 
    In Disk Utility select the HD on the left & click on Repair Disk (bottom right).
    Repair permissions when you reach the desktop and restart your computer.  Preview icons still black?

  • What does it mean when a pop up comes up and says that someone else is using the same IP address as myself?

    It only comes up a couple times, but what does it mean? Does it mean I've been hacked or something? It also says to change my IP address if it happens again but how the heck do I do that? I don't even know how to contact my network manager to find out what's going on? Is this something I really need to worry about? Please help I need to know what's going on?! Thank you!

    It means that your router doesn't assign IP addresses based on a hash of the devices MAC address but instead assigns them in sequential order.
    On Monday device A had IP address X and device B had IP address Y because they were turned on in the order A then B.
    On Tuesday device B was turned on first and it got IP address X for whatever reason.
    When devfice A was turned on it asked for IP address X but was rejected because X was already in use.
    That's when the error message was displayed.  It's complaining that the IP address it had yesterday isn't available today because it's already in use by another device.
    If the router has the ability to do DHCP reservations, configure the router to assign IP addresses based on the device's MAC address.
    Or always turn devices on in the same order.
    Or get a high end router.

  • What does it mean when there isn't enough room to run a program?

    My desktop tends to go blank and when I try to open programs such as Excel or Word a message comes up saying there isn't enough memory to run. Anyone know what could fix this? Also I opened iPhoto and it asked if i wanted to open iPhoto or iPhoto, not knowing the difference, I picked the first one and almost all of my photos were gone.

    there are a couple of ways to fix this.
    1) run less applications at one time, meaning make sure they are truly closed and not just off.
    2) get a ram upgrade. this can be done by yourself or by taking it to an apple store.

    To transfer your current hard drive I like the free application Carbon Copy Cloner. It makes a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive http://www.bombich.com/index.html You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case, partition and format it, and clone your old drive to the new one. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one.

  • What does it mean when there's a _ at the beginning of a username?

    Example: _softwareupdate
    Thanks.

    OS X started using _ on system groups a few releases back; that convention started with 10.5.
    I'd start your own thread for the groups question.  As for any group limit, haven't seen that one with OS X; if you're hitting some limit with groups or ACLs or a tool you're using, you'll want to post up some details of the version (10.8?), the volume structure used the output of the id command and the ls -ale@ for the ACL. 
    The local root account has twenty groups, so I'm not sure what you're seeing with that limit.
    Alternatively, you can log a bug directly with Apple asking for the limit to be increased.
