I had to replace my SSD on my windows laptop. I used a mirroring application to copy the old ssd to the new ssd. Now many of my itunes albums will not play and itunes keeps asking me to authorize the computer. I'll proceed thru the authorizing process, itunes will tell me this is #3 out of 5 allowable devices but still the song or album will not play. The music folder path seems correct. TIA
Windows, Windows 10
Repeated requests to authorize an already authorized computer for store downloads typically indicates you have corrupt or incomplete copies. Delete the tracks that won't play from your library without hiding from your purchase history. Redownload using the cloud links that should remain, or close iTunes and reopen if they don't show up straight away. While downloading click the activity widget and turn off the option that allows for simultaneous downloads.
If that hasn't helped see If iTunes prompts you to authorize your computer when you try to play iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support.

turingtest 2, thank you for your suggestion. Most of the tracks that won't play I uploaded from my cd collection. Also, all of my itunes store purchases seemed to have vanished from the store. the only downloads still showing are 2 from back in 2013. I downloaded a Don Henley album just last year and it does not show up in the store. I could understand the mirroring application I used to transfer from the old ssd to the new ssd could have corrupted the files in my itunes folder but why the downloads in my store are no longer there makes it seem that something more is amiss. thanks again for your suggestions.
will do. thanks!
