Song Authorization Issue
I have searched through many questions and forums regarding my issue, but none seem to actually solve my particular dilemma so I'm posting my issue here.
I am trying to simply play a song, that I purchased in 2014, on my computer. I only have one Apple ID, and one computer (iMac).
When I click on it to play, I get the following message:
"This computer is not authorized to play "-----." Would you like to authorize it?"
I then type in my Apple ID and Password, and get this pop-up:
"This computer is already authorized. Including this one, you have authorized one computer out of your available 5."
And this is immediately followed by the song after the song in question start to play. I have no idea what else to do, but I'll list below a few things I've tried to help weed out responses that won't work. Please help!
---I have tried reseting my Apple ID password.
---I have tried de-authorizing all devices, and re-authorizing this one.
---I have the newest possible iTunes software
---The song does have my Apple ID as the purchaser listed in the info of the song.
---I have tried deleting it and re-downloading it to no avail.
To be honest, I'd even buy the song again just to get it to work, but there's really no way to even do that! (Not that I should have to.)
