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.

Sign in with the account it's asking for or delete and redownload the tracks you're trying to sync. Authorizing it for content bought under one Apple ID won't carry over to that from another.
