authorization and deauthorization problems from Migration Assistant?
I purchased a new MacBook Pro and used Migration Assistant to transfer everything from my old powerbook G4 running 10.4.6. The transfer was super smooth and everything is in its place. The only problem I'm having is with authorization and deauthorization and both computers.
My new computer prompts me for my login and password every time I click on a song I purchased in iTunes. It then proceeds to tell me that this computer has been been authorized and that 2 of 5 computers are currently authorized. The problem is when the authorization process is finished the song never plays so I click on it again and I get the same prompt for authorizing the computer again. It is the quintissential infinte loop and it happens on any song that I click on.
Problem two is deauthorization on the old computer. It is a reverse of the problem above. I go to deauthorize the computer and get the same prompt. I put in my log and pass and then I'm told that the computer has been deauthorized. The problem is that when I go to click on a song I purchased it still plays when it should not because the computer has been deauthorized.
My only guess is that something happened in the process of using migration assisant. I've tried throwing out the iTunes prefs but that doesnt work. I'd greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance.
