Can not play songs on Computer

I deleted a playlist and Itunes put those songs in the cloud. and I can not do anything with them. I get the message box: This computer is already associated with an Apple ID You can download past purchases with just one apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 26 days.

Any ideas?

The computer is already associated with an Apple ID I recently bought a 2017 iMac and added to my Apple Music, logged in ok, but whey I try to play certain songs on my playlist I get the The computer is already associated with an Apple ID message. I never get this message with my other phones, iPads, Windows PC. Is it because some of these are purchased songs I have on my playlist mixed with tunes I added from Apple Music, all in my icloud libary? I have always had the same itunes/Music user id for my computer, but now I am getting this error for certain songs. The only way I can play then is opening the shared library of another computer that has itunes or Apple Music open. I am not transferring any other itunes/Music Apple ID's so I don't quite see what the problem is. Upgradd from a 2013 iMac to a 2017. so I can get past Catalina to Big Sur., and this is the problem I am getting.

Purchased songs keep disappearing from iMac My iMac (27-inch, Late 2013) is running macOS 10.15.7 Catalina. It cannot be upgraded beyond Catalina. Songs which I purchased from the iTunes store in 2020 to date keep disappearing from Music. I downloaded the songs, then 2 - 3 days later they disappeared from my iMac and had to download them again. The songs keep disappearing and I have to keep downloading them. Even the playlist with those purchased songs disappears. This happens only with songs which I purchased from iTunes from 2020 to date; all songs purchased from iTunes before 2020 are fine. I called Apple support on 2 different occasions and no one was able to help. Any suggestions?

Aurthorizing Computer I purchase several albums per week. Sometimes, after a purchase, I can't play all the songs due to the "Aurthorize this Computer" prompt. When I re-aurthorize the computer, it seems to go through but when I go to play the song/songs, I get the same prompt again. I will have to quit purchasing music off of Itunes if I can't play them. What am I doing wrong?

It’s there to make pirating content harder. If desired, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff to reset it.
