My iTunes on this computer keeps saying:

You must authorize this computer from the Account menu before you can download previous purchases. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

Now, I have a new problem that I just can't not figure out how to fix it. Could you please tell me why? I have tried everything the forums are saying and it does not work. So, all my "gmail account" emails are going into the trash versus where they should be going. Is there a setting that is set wrong or something? Please, I would really appreciate all your help on this matter.

Blessings,

Donna Spurgeon

Mail>Preferences>Accounts>gMail>Mailbox Behaviors, what path is Trash Mailbox set to & other boxes?


Are you using any Mail Rules?


Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode?


Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches & loads safe Drivers, & prevents loading of 3rd party extensions, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.
