Hi Mark, everyone,
We also have a problem with purchased iTunes files - the motherboard
in my G5 iMac PPC was replaced under warranty so now has a different
serial #. My daughter's purchased iTunes files had to be authorised
to the new serial #, thus using another of the permitted number of
devices (5 in total I believe), meaning that she has to de-authorise
another machine.
As it turns out, the replacement motherboard has a fault, so when we
get another new one (under warranty) that will use yet another iTunes
"life".
So, like Mark, does anyone know how to work around this to get back
the "lost" authorities?
Cheers

Take a moment to consider - am I confusing wants with needs?

Looks like newer but still pre formatting purchases play- but older
ones don't seem to want to play. Possibly one lot were purchased
with one credit card and the others with another or possibly one
lot with prepaid cards and another lot with credit cards?
failing that anybody had any success <cough> cracking* <cough>
iTunes songs - remember that we can't play them at all so the old
"burn them to a CD then re rip them as MP3's" trick isn't going to
work here.
*feel free to contact me off list if you know a work around here
but don't want to blurt it out on list...
thanks
