Unauthorized music with 7.1?

Having just downloaded iTunes 7.1, it just stripped from my iPod over 100 tracks, claiming they're not authorized. Yet most of these songs were purchaced and downloaded recently (by me) through iTunes using this computer, this OS, and these iPods. The previous release of iTunes worked fine. What is going on?

Just when I thought I was the only one having this problem. I purchased a lot of music through Itunes and to not be able to burn that music onto a cd is crazy. I am being told that I am unauthorized and this is even after I go through the authorization steps. There used to be a time when you could burn a song up to 4 times. Has anyone sought legal assistance -this isn't right? Apple doesn't seem to be addressing the issue and there seems to be a lot of end users out there having the same problem. If anyone could supply some legal advice regarding this issue it would be greatly appreciated.

  • PC died and in turn my main iTunes library. iPhone was synced to it. Now when I try to connect to another library it tells me the phone must be wiped clean before I can manage music with new library. Any way around that? Don't want to lose music.

    My PC died and in turn so did my main iTunes library.  My iPhone was synced to the library that is gone.  Now when I try to connect to another library, it tells me the phone must be wiped clean before I can manage music with new library.  Any way around that?  I don't want to lose the music that is on my phone.  I am looking for a way to tell the phone to "forget" the old library and let me start working with a new library. 

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new one.
    It sounds like you have failed to do this, which is not good at all.
    You will have to transfer your itunes purchases from your iphone.  Authorize your computer for your itunes account 
    About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
    Open itunes, plug in iphone, do NOT sync, click File>Transfer Purchases
    When you do sync you will lose your pics ( photo library - synced from your old computer), your itunes content ( music, apps, videos,etc) , your contacts and your calendars.  So do NOT sync yet.  This is why a backup copy is so important.
    Enter one unique contact and calendar entry on your computer.
    When you first sync, you should get the option to merger the data.  Choose it.
    If you want your pics, then you will need to e-mail them to yourself before you sync.  They will not be of the original quality as they are reduced when synced to iphone.
    When all is as goos as it can be, then backup your computer, and always maintain the backup.

  • In trying to share music with multiple user accounts on one comp, I quit itunes, located my itunes media folder, moved it to a publicly accessible location. Problem is it didn't work and now I can't get it all back to the way it was.

    In trying to share music with multiple users on one computer, I followed the directions on "iTunes:How to share music between different accounts on a single computer" (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1203). I did something wrong because i lost iTunes
    Tried to put files back, but it is not the same. Plugged in my ipod and it is not recognizing my computer.
    Can someone tell me where iTunes should be, and what sub files should be included with it. Thanks!

    If you are seeing the "Connect to iTunes" logo, then your device is in Recovery Mode, and you will need to restore it:

  • My daughter and I listen to the same music with few exceptions. We currently are under my apple id if she gets her own apple id she no longer will be able to hook up to mine?

    I am trying to figure out if I give her her own apple id does that mean we have to purchase the same songs in itunes so that she can have access to them? I mean, it seems silly since if I buy the songs, I should be able to share with my family. It is for everyones use but if I give her her own apple ID so she can buy her own music with her own password then that whole sharing thing is off? I don't want to give her full access to my account password... She is only 11. I don't want her to go on a shopping spree LOL! So how can I give her the freedom to download free apps etc but yet share the purchased items I have already? Will this icloud help with that. Can I share my music with someone else with a different apple ID? Help. Extremely confused. Thanks.

    You can create a new account without giving credit card details by following the instructions on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    And she can then use that account for free items. If she redownloads an item on her iPad (and similarly on your Mac) from an account (either your existing account or a new one) then she may tie the iPad to that account for 90 days (so she won't be able to redownload items from the other account until those 90 days have completed) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
    Also all content is tied to the account that downloaded it, so only your account will be able to download updates to the apps that were bought/downloaded by your account.
    The apps will only automatically download on your phone if you have automatic downloads turned on in Settings > iTunes & App Store on it.

  • HT3819 How can I share my music with another apple ID device

    Can I share the music on my iPad with another iPad, the other iPad has a different Apple ID

    The correct answer to your question is No - you cannot "share" Music with another device using a different Apple ID. Can you make it work - yes you can.
    You do not want to sign into the other Apple ID and download the purchased music because you will lock yourself out of your own Apple ID for 90 days. Apple does this in order to discourage users from "sharing" purchased content that they did not buy themselves.
    Whatever you decide to do, just don't download the music from the purchased tab in iTunes, because you don't want to lock yourself out of your own ID for 90 days.

  • How do i share music with 2 iphones using the same apple id?

    how do i share music with 2 iphones using the same apple id?

    Sync them both to the same iTunes music library.  You can also automatically download purchased music to both by going to Settings>iTunes & App Stores and turning Music to On under Automatic Downloads.  If you music is in multiple computers, you can enable Home sharing to share your music library across multiple devices (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819).

  • How can I share itunes music with others who use this computer??

    I want to share my music with my granddaughter and she wants to share hers with me. We use the same computer but log in with different accounts. If the music is in the computer is seems there should be a way to share all the music.  Can we do that??

    There are sharing abilities built into iTunes.  In the iTunes Help menu just type in "share."
    I personally don't care for the way iTunes shares music.  I have taken a different route.  I use file sharing to share my Music folder with my wife.
    From the Finder window right or control click on Music.
    Select Get Info
    At the bottom of Get Info click on the lock icon to unlock changes
    Under Sharing click on the + to add access to another user.
    Select you daughters id. and add her.
    Give her Read Access.
    Click on the Gear icon on the bottom and select "Apply to enclosed items."
    Have you daughter do the same for you.  You will now have access to each others music.
    There are several ways you can listen to each others music.
    To listen to just one song I just use the Finder method.  Open Finder and click in the spotlight search field (upper right).  Type in some criteria (i.e. Artist, partial title, album name).  Files will appear in the finder window.  Select the icon view option.  You should see album artwork.  Move your mouse over the track you want to listen to and your should see a play button appear. Not sure which OSX versions support this (10.6 does).  Click on the play button.  If you don't see a play button you can play by selecting Get Info.  There is a play button in the preview section.  You can also play with Quick View.
    To listen to a playlist you will need a multimedia player like VLC (google it if you don't have it).
    From iTunes you can export your playlist from File > Library > Export Playlist... (.m3u works well)  Give your daughter read write access to the playlist file and from the Open With entry select VLC. (use the get info method)
    Copy the playlist file to you daughters drop box in her public folder.  Have your daughter use the get info function to make sure her copy still points to VLC and not to iTunes.  If you open the playlist file with iTunes it may copy the tune files to her library. (don't want to end up with multiple copies of tunes on your Mac)
    Double clicking on the playlist file will open VLC and begin playing.  There is a playlist button on VLC to view, sort and select tunes from the list.
    Phew!  Hope that helped.
    Dan
    P.S.  Haven't tested this with copy protected stuff.

  • Can I share some, not all music, with other users on same iMac?

    Hi,
    I want to be able to share some musice with other users on the same iMac?
    Is it possible to do without having to share everything?
    Thanks, Crankyhead.

    Create a playlist containing the music you want to share. Then select Preferences in iTunes and from there select the Sharing tab. Turn on "Share my library on my local network" then click on "Share selected playlists" and click on the playlist(s) you want to share.

    Hi, Carmen. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    If you need to reset you security questions, do not know the answers and no longer have access to that email account, see the last sentence under Note in step 5.
    You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need tocontact iTunes Store support in order to do so.

    now i phone is just 4 nothing

    Visit the local Apple store in the mall and they ran diagnostics on it. They told me the phone has no hardware problems.
    Still the issue is not resolved.
    Please help it has been more than 2 weeks that I have this problem and it seems no one is helping.

  • My iPhone 5 ios7, won't sync music with itunes 11.1.2.32

    My iPhone 5 ios7.0.3, won't sync music with itunes 11.1.2.32.
    The Sync starts and finsihes but no changes are made to the content on the iphone. No files transfer. Tried both wifi and cable sync.

    Sorry, but this doesn't work either.  Thank you for the response though.
    I originally tried the Manually Manage Music and Videos and even though I selected what I wanted to copy and then clicked the Sync button.....nothing gets copied over.   I then tried copying over my entire library (and I expected the phone to explode since my library is HUGE) and clicked the Sync button....nothing got copied over.
    I have uninstalled iTunes, reinstalled iTunes (and lost half my library thank you Apple).
    I have deleted my iPhone backup.
    I have updated my iTunes (not that there were any new updates).
    I have updated my iPhone (not that there were any new updates).
    I have changed and tested every single setting, every which way possible and NOTHING works.
    I can sync movies, pictures, apps - no problem whatsoever.  But music?  Forget it.
    I hate the iPhone and I won't recommend it to ANYONE.  All I wanted was an all-in-one device to make my life easier and this is NOT IT!  This should not be this hard and as far as I'm concerned, Apple failed BIG TIME.

  • Sync single song via iTunes with my iPhone 5 & can't sync music with my iPhone

    Hey there,
    I have two questions about iTunes and my iPhone 5.
    1) I have my full music library connected with iTunes and most songs are not bought via iTunes. Now I have alle artists listet up with their albums.
         Can I now sync only one single song from an album with my iPhone 5? If I want to sync music with my iPhone I can only choose between Playlists, Artists,       Albums and Genres but not single songs. Is there a possibility to sync single songs from a full album?
    2) The other problem is when I want to sync music (and only music!) iTunes starts syncing with my iPhone 5 and nothing happens. After a while a get an error         that the synchronisation is stopped because it couldn't start syncing. Why? What can I do?
    I use a windows 8 laptop with the newst version of iTunes and iPhone 5!

    Which iTunes version is installed on your computer?
    What happens when syncing? Any error message provided?
