how do i authorize my mac to itunes?

I want to use music from my iPod touch on my mac, but when i sign in and try to play my songs, a banner pops up saying 'Your computer is not authorized. You must authorize this computer before you can download previous purchases.'

what do i do?


PS- i already tried alt-s, it just spams the computer.


Try to get back soon, I love music.

Move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

Hello Toss


Download iTunes into your Mac. At the top of this page, click 'iTunes'. Then you would see 'Download iTunes', click it. After iTunes is successfully downloaded into your Mac, move the cursor to the top of the left hand corner where the íTune Store is. Click it whereby you would definitely see 'Authorise This Computer'.


Good luck
