iPod help

[Vacation Lover]

I got a new computer and had my iTunes program moved to the new one. Now when I sync my iPod, none of the songs that I purchased from iTunes will sync. My old computer crashed and I don't have it anymore. How do I make iTunes sync everything using the new computer?

Did you authorize itunes on the new computer? Once you do that, you should be able to pull of any itunes purchases from your ipod. HTH!

Okay, dumb question #2: How do you authorize it? (Maybe I should be getting my 10 year old DS to figure this out for me!)

I think you have to go to the iTunes store, log in and add it to your list of authorized computers.

Hi
Just asked my DS who said (and then typed the following response for you) said it has happened to him, you are not having a problem syncing, but rather not authorizing. Hope this helps!)

"Simply try to play one of the songs you know wont work in Itunes under the Music tab. IT will say "This computer is not authorized to play this music. Authorize now?" Hit yes and fill in the information for the account you used on the old computer.
Alternatively, signing into Itunes music store with your old account should do it.

A little pixie dust never hurts either, LOL
