My purchased Music in iTunes wont play

So far Vista is running great! One issue I am seeing in iTunes and Vista RC1
is that my purchased music wont play. It asks me for my password then says I
have authorized X computers out of 5, but still wont play. It keeps prompting
me for my password again and again.

Any thoughts would help...

Do you have 5 computers authorized? If you do,
then you need to deauthorize one of them first.

Did you do an upgrade install? A clean install?
An install on a separate partition? If you no longer
have that OS that you received authorization on-
you are going to have to call Apple.

Re: My purchased Music in iTunes wont play

I did do an UPGRADE from XP. I now only have 3 computers authorized out of a
maximum of 5 PC's.

Did you try reinstalling iTunes?

RE: My purchased Music in iTunes wont play

The exact same thing is happening to me. I keep getting asked for my
password over and over again.

I am afraid to reinstall iTunes, I hear iTunes 7 won't install. Does
anybody know if it does?

Remember, Vista is still in the testing stage and I am sure Microsoft
would appreciate the feedback. BTW, what is the best way to give
Microsoft feedback on Windows Vista?

Re: My purchased Music in iTunes wont play

I've got 7 installed and it seems ok. I have not tested to destruction but
the install was painless.

Re: My purchased Music in iTunes wont play

Sounds like your Vista install is looking like a new computer to I tunes.
You have to deauthorize one of your other computers or email I tunes and
tell them you forgot to deauthorize before you upgraded your box. 5 times is
the limit.
