I need major help with iTunes.

I need help with itunes!?

• okay so my other computer just crashed.. with my itunes on it. So i downloaded itunes off the internet onto my Laptop ( because i couldn't find my itunes disk) and so it downloaded all the songs from the computer on it. But when i try to sync my ipod to the Laptop it comes up saying i should either erase all the songs on my ipod and put the songs that are in my itunes onto my ipod. OR that i can transfer all the purchases from my ipod onto my itunes. So i pick the one that says transfer my purchases. Then another thing comes up saying that the purchases are not authorized to play on this computer. Then it tells me that i can authorize it by going to store and then press authorize computer. Well i can't find it! and i really need help! i don't want to loose all the songs on my ipod!!

• Answer:

  I think you are confused: Don't go to the iTunes Store. Go up to the top left corner of your iTunes window, click store that's up there with all the other options and then click authorize that is on the list that comes up once you click store. That is for PC. For Mac go up to the iTunes Task bar at the top of the screen and click store and then authorize on the list that pops down. Good luck! Hope this helped!
