Song not authorized

I transferred songs from my iPod classic to my new computer. The Apple ID I purchased it with doesn’t exist anymore. It was a non email ID. When I enter it in “forgot password” I get “not valid or not supported” how do I get it to play on the computer?

Itunes on windows refuses to play a song because it isn't authorized I have authorized the computer. I have logged out and back in. Every time I try to play the song it says it isn't authorized despite me signing in on that specific window to authorize it and it claims it worked. This happened months ago on a different song, but reauthorizing it worked that time. It seems to single outm a song here and there for no apparent reason except to drive you insane. This is happening to one song and that's it. The rest of the 500 songs work just fine. I downloaed it on my phone on the same account. It shows up in itunes as I own the song just like all the other ones, yet it doesn't work. The song plays on my phone, the device I bought it on, but not on itunes for windows or the ipod I try to put it on. What idiot designed this system and what hoops do I have to jump through to play the song that I already paid for? Why does it randomly do this? How do I fix this?

purchased song I purchased and downloaded two songs today- one I can play on the computer and transfer to my I-phone-the other when I try to play it a message says that the computer is not authorized to play it. I enter my apple ID and password and hit Authorize but it does not seem to work?

I have tried every trick I can find on the internet to solve the following problem - I am constantly told my computer is not authorized to play this song. I reauthorize and I get a screen saying this computer is authorized. I try to play the song AND I am constantly and regularly getting the screen that says "This computer not authorized...." when trying to play a song I have purchased from itunes store. I have downloaded the latest version. I have followed instructions on User Account Controls. I have removed the SC folder. I have signed out and signed back in. I am at the point of abandoning itunes all together. I bought an iphone years ago just for itunes! I still have an iphone. I have no problems playing the same content on my phone! Someone please help! I am at my wits end and I have purchased a LOT of itunes over the years and I can not access them now. FbgMatt
