Hi!

Launch iTunes on the computer you are using. Log into the iTunes store. Once you're logged in, click on your account name in the upper right corner. (You'll probably have to re-enter your password) Once you are looking at your account information, there is a section about the number of computers you have authorised. I don't know if you can de-autho a particular one, but you can de-autho all of them at once. Then go back to re-autho the ones you want to use. It's a bit of a pain to do it that way, but it's the only way I can think of!

For what it's worth, I had to do the same thing recently. I didn't lose any of my music or videos!!

Deauthorizing computers is useful if you are planning to reinstall Windows or have reached your authorization limit. You can deauthorize accounts easily if you follow these steps:

  1. Open iTunes.
  2. Choose Store > Deauthorize Computer
  3. Select "Deauthorize Computer for Apple Account" and enter your Apple ID and password.

You can only deauthorize an old computer once you've reached your limit of 5 authorized computers. Then, launch iTunes on the computer you are using. Log into the iTunes store. Once you're logged in, click on your account name in the upper right corner. (You'll probably have to re-enter your password) Once you are looking at your account information, there is a section about the number of computers you have authorised. I don't know if you can deauthorized a particular one, but you can deauthorize all of them at once. Then go back to reauthorize the ones you want to use. It's a bit of a pain to do it that way, but it's the only wayto do it.

How to transfer itunes songs to a different PC?

First, one has to move his or her iTunes files onto another PC by emailing them, putting them on a USB stick, or putting them on a portable hard drive. Once the files are on another computer one will need to authorize that computer with the iTunes store account that purchased the original songs. Also, it would be wise to deauthorize the old computer because each account only has a limited number of allowed authorized computers. With the new computer authorized simply import the files and they can be played on the new PC.Alternative solution to transfer iTunes to a new PC using free Tuneswift:http://transfer-itunes-to-new-pc.blogspot.com/


If i download itunes on a new computer and use my login why isn't my music there?

because your music is saved on the old computer. You are logging in to your iTunes store account so you can continue to purchase music.

If you have music backups of the old iPod in iTunes, you can easily sync the songs with the new iPod.

You won't be allowed to transfer the songs from the old iPod to computer or new iPod if the songs are not from iTunes.

Click "File > Device > Transfer Purchases". iTunes will automatically transfer the songs to iTunes library. Step 3. Plug the new iPod into computer. Then import the songs from iTunes to the new iPod.

Your old computer got a virus how do you get purchased music from Itunes onto your new computer?

You've got a few choices here: 1. If the music is on your iPod, you can just get it from there 2. Use a flash drive to transfer the songs from iTunes to iTunes of the new computer 3. If you saved the email receipts then i believe you can get the songs again on another computer but im not totally sure. Unless the virus did something that made your computer not open iTunes or makes the computer unusable. In that case you're probably better off with option 1.
