iTunes computer authorization

Whenever I try to play a song on iTunes, it tells me my computer is not authorized to play that song. Dialogue boxes appear asking for my iTunes/Apple ID and password. I enter them correctly, and they're accepted, but that does not work.


I've seen advice to delete the song and re-download it. OK. But it looks like I'll have to do that separately for every song in my iTunes library. And that would be, frankly, bullshit.


Any suggestions?

Hi,

There appears to be a problem with the downloads. The only solution is to remove download then redownload purchased version again. You can select multiple tracks then redownload the selected tracks.
