Why can't I play paid purchases that were purchased with an E mail address no longer used and the purchses won't sync to my I Pod. I can see them in my I Tunes library but when you click on the song it says Please Authorise this computer showig an old E Mail address  and it wont work. ???

The Apple ID to authorize is very old, ( I don't have password) so I use my NEW apple ID and password
Why do you have a new AppleID and passwortd?
Just update the old one and continue to use it.
You can get your password and edit the info here -> http://iforgot.apple.com/

  • How can I sync purchases that were purchased on an now obsolete Apple ID code?

    I can no longer back-up my previous purchases to my IPad.  It tells me that some items from ITunes is not being copied because it is not authorized to be used on it.

    Hi Andree,
    It sounds like we are having issues transferring purchases to/from your iPad. From your description, one or the other may not be authorized to play those purchases with the Apple ID that was originally used.
    Here is some more information that may be helpful:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Authorize a computer to play iTunes Store purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12511
    To play many purchases from the iTunes Store, you must authorize your computer using your Apple ID and password. (Authorization helps protect the copyrights of the purchased items.)

  • Why can't i play cw on my ipod touch with the ipico

    how can i play the cw app with my ipico?

    Just what is the cw app and what is ipico?
    I suspect the ipico is a projector. For a 4G and below, TV out only works for apps the specificially support TV out. Thus, it appears that cw does not support TV out.
    The iPod Movie app is supported.

  • I changed my Apple ID to a new email address. How do I authorize older purchases that were made with my old Apple ID?

    I'm trying to get Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan to play in iTunes but it keeps prompting me to authorize by asking for my Apple ID & Password. It defaults to my old ID which is a Yahoo email address that I deleted. I replace that ID with my Gmail ID and it says that I'm authorized to play the movie but it still won't play after I select PLAY. If I select Pause and Play again, the Apple ID prompt cycle begins again.
    I'd delete this movie but I'm afraid that I will be charged again for redownloading it since there are now 4 versions of this film; Original, Director's Cut and their SD & HD versions.
    Is there a solution that will allow me to play this film? One other thing, this plays in my Apple TV (latest model) but has no sound.
    I'm confused.

    I tried but it won't let me even access the old Apple ID.  It won't recoginze its old password and will not let me make a new one. (The site tells me it has sent an email to let me change the password but the email does not come.)

  • I can't play my videos  that i took with my i pad

    Quit the camera app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    You can try this as well. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    A little more specific information about what is happening would be helpful.

    Why can't I play a shakespear sisters music from hormonally yours. I have authourized my computer and but it keeps asking to authorize, it also says my passowrd is wrong.

  • I don't understand what's happening with my Music. All the songs that I purchased, that were previously on my phone, now show up a Cloud next to them, but I can't play them. If I touch the Cloud, it turns into a red square but never downloads.

    I don't understand what's happening with my Music. All the songs that I purchased, that were previously on my phone, now show up with a Cloud next to them, but I can't play them. If I touch the Cloud, it turns into a red square, acts like it's downloading (which I can see happening in iTunes), but never downloads. The Cloud just stays there.
    I've sync'd my phone, I've turned it to "show all music" in Settings, I've drag and dropped the songs/albums onto my phone again. I feel like I've tried everything I've seen recommended, but nothing works.
    I've purchased a lot of music from iTunes. It should be there. What's going on?
    P.S. Same thing happening with my purchased books. Ugh.

    Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match.  Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.

  • I have songs in my iTunes that were purchased under an old ID (an email that no longer exists). I forgot the password so when I try to retrieve it, it is sent to the old email which no longer exists, so I can't retrieve it so I can't play/transfer songs

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

  • Can I play the games that I purchased on my ipad on my imac?

    Hello,
    I was wondering if I am able to play the games that I purchased on an older ipad on my iMac that I now have?   If, I can how do I get the games downloaded from the ipad to the iMac onto my iMac?  Any help that someone would be very appreciated!
    Thank you,
    donna

    You can't play iOS games on desktop computers - there aren't iOS simulators for casual people.
    Nevertheless, some games (Chopter 2, Angry Birds etc.) have a desktop (OS X) version of the same game. Some can even play multiplayer with the iOS version. They, generally, aren't very pricey either.

    Welcome to the wonderful world of copy protection.
    iPads have a form of digital copy protection that will prevent protected media, such as DRM-infused iTunes movies, from playing back on devices that aren't compliant with the new priority protection measures.
    The Intel-developed technology is called High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) and aims to prevent copying of digital audio and video content as it travels across a variety of display connectors, even if not in violation of fair use laws.
    The advantage of purchasing your movie as a DVD is that you can watch it on ANY device.
    For a better picture, and fewer hassles convert to analog. There are HDMI to Component video adapters available that will solve your problem.

    Download them to the computer to which the iPod is synced, re-sync.

  • HT204382 Why can't I play a .MOV movie on my apple (MacBook Pro)?

    My parents have been sending me little .MOV movies via email. But I can't play them on my MacBook Pro. I am however able to play them on my iPhone.
    Why can't I play it on my computer?
    This is the error msg I get: The document “IMG_0259.MOV” could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands. You may need to install additional software to open this type of file.
    Many thanks,
    Mascha

    I have the same problem. I make a video on my iPhone and email it to my webmail, can't open it on the MacBookPro, but can on my phone from my webmail. On the MacBookPro, a screen opens that displays the "Q" from Quicktime with a question mark on it. That's all I get!
    Thought I didn't have quicktime, but since the computer comes with it and my updates are all up to date, it just doesn't make any sense. This has only started recently. The two videos in question are the longest (under 15 min but over 10) ones I've ever had. When I go to email them, it says they are too long but send them anyway.
    I am perplexed. I really want to be able to watch them (or I wouldn't have made them in the first place) and just can't figure out what to do!!
