On new PC, when I attempt to sync to iphone or ipod, get popup saying this computer is no longer authorized. I click on "Authorize" and a login screen appears. More...

Recently moved iTunes app to a new laptop PC. I click on "Authorize", and a Apple login window pops up. It auto-populates an ancient email address instead of the current ID I have used for years. I enter my current ID and password. The same Unauthorized message continues to reappear.
