authorize computer

Just found it with the alt s. Boy, this was a frustrating experience.

So i dont see that menu. I have the most recent itunes and suddenly it wont let me download a song even though i downloaded a different song (AFTER) i bought the other one. It claims that i need to give permission, which i thought i had and was the reason i was allowed to download other songs. HELP!!!

If you have the current version of iTunes installed then control-B on a PC should get the drop-down menus to show at the top of it

right - Control-B gets the menu bar 'unhidden', and then go to 'Store' and the dropdown will have 'authorize this computer'

I think Al-S takes you right to the 'Store' options

i have this same problem did you find a soloution???

omg thank you soo much i was confussed for a sec. and then i figured itout...thanks to you and now it works. thanks again

i think my mac is older then that becasue the alt s trick isnot working. 😟HELP

On a Mac the drop-down menus show at the top of your Mac's screen (alt-S is for PCs). What shows across the very top of your Mac's screen ?

Oh god I was stupid, I found it now, soo sorry for you trouble. But thanks for you help!

hello fellow apple device user!

I am facing the same problem.

did you end up finding a solution?

Hi All

Got a similar problem, but more so.

Just updated my computer to windows 7. Everything fine, except I have come to a song in iTunes my computer will not play.

It says I have to authorise the song first.

When I try to do that, it tells me I have already authorised 5 computers and can't do any more.

Rubbish, I only have ever had one computer.

So, for some unknown reason Itunes will not let me play a song I have bought and paid for.

Any ideas?

Did you deauthorise your account in iTunes before updating the OS on it ? And have you also reinstalled or updated the OS on that computer in the past without first deauthorising it ? One computer could be using multiple authorisations : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1206

Or you can log into your account and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and then authorise the computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420

For that song, was it bought on the same account as the rest of your content ? If it was, and the rest plays ok, then see if this page helps : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
