authorize a song

I cannot play a song on my mac (from itunes) which was purchased because it says I must authorize the computer yet the computer is already authorized.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6)

Hello!


I suggest that we trash the /sc info/ folder using the Terminal command below:


Open up Terminal - for example by searching for the word terminal via Spotlight (the magnifying glass in the top right corner of your computer display) - and copy-paste the line below.


sudo rm -R /Users/Shared/SC\ Info/


Enter your password after pressing return. Note that your will not see that you're typing like: *** You'll have to enter the password blindly and press return again.

Never sudo rm -R without a letter i. One typo can wipe your entire hard disc without warning. So that would be sudo rm -Ri and that would only work in Mac OS X, not Classic, which this forum is about. For Mac OS X questions, see where to post here https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2463


Hello! 🙂

The OP indicated he's using OS X 10.6

Also, how would you authorize iTunes on a Mac with iTunes 2? The OP clearly made a mistake in posting it in the OS Classics section.


Also, while your argument about having to add -i as an argument makes perfect sense - and I'll adjust future posts to user to include it, so thank you - I DID clearly say the user should copy-paste and not type the command.


In the meantime, I'm curious if D Patience solved his issue.
