Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

I have an issue to where Apple music will not be authorized on a computer that is authorized. It is saying that I already have 5 devices authorized, but the computer is already authorized.

Repeated requests to authorize an already authorized computer for store downloads typically indicates you have corrupt or incomplete copies. Backup and then 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.
