i tunes keeps asking me to authorize, my authorized computer

thanx

did as told ... saw where the copy had been made ... so, deleted

1st - when i "deleted" did so from my playlist where the song was...however, went to "puchases"

and brought the album up again and song was there..so, deleted it again ...

re-opened itunes and the entire album was displayed in my "recently added" for today ?

with the song there Twice ...neither one plays ,

same window authorize computer ...

followed the directions in the link sent for the " hide - unhide "

1. In the menu bar at the top of your computer screen or at the top of the iTunes window, click Account, then click View My Account.
2. On the page that appears, scroll to the iTunes in the Cloud section. Next to Hidden Purchases, click Manage.

however ...when i open my acct i do not have any of the " i tunes in cloud" hidden purchases ...etc ?!?

i have Not done any "updates" new versions to itunes when prompted for awhile

( 12.10.9.3 )

as they tell me they are for apple computers/products, so determined they are unnecessary for me

thanx TT

so, as i have had your assistance previously , i will say again as i wouldn't expect you to recall... i'm no whiz at this stuff ...

checking my ipod, the one song i just happened to check for a cd the other day ...which brought about the " authorization" issue ...the song is on my ipod, on the computer it's a no go ...

so went back into purchases... initially, "store" had no info on the album but, finally got it ...

however, could not open the album icon there ...

went back to my library, opened it up, and tho i have seen the "clouds" you referred to, at other times ...

they are not there now ... i'm hesitant to delete anything i can't figure how to reload

i have malwarebytes as a security ...tho have had for years ...certainly before i did the last itunes update

i'm windows 10

is it possible the newer version , might help this issue ? again, when i get notifications to tell me of a new version, i check to see what's there...when they say " apple product related " i figure it does not matter ...but will do so , if it could help ?

i also noticed , tho as mentioned it , the song i've referred to , downloaded to my ipod...where i actually listen to music ,,, i have 2 pods ( classic) ...the older one, it did not download to ..

odd as they were both synched at the same time

i'll download the new version as i check on any other possibilities

thanzx

if not obvious ... some of what is suggested gets a bit overwhelming for this old guy ...

i'm sure yur used to dealing with those w / a better working knowledge ...appreciated all the same ....

to update now:

i did update itunes Still doesn't look any different and the " i tunes in the cloud " those views

are Nowhere, on my screens possibly an apple computer view ?

regardless

my "playlists" is where i typically go, to get music, to burn a CD , put on a flash, etc. i opened,

cliked on the song in question, as i was checking to see if i wanted to add it to the "burn" the other day...

that's when all the "authoriz" stuff began ...

i simply assumed, all albums are the same , regardless of where they sit in the library...

after deleting, as you told me before, i clik on "purchased" to see what, and when opened that,

the deleted song was still there ...twice in fact!

as we'd done the copy as told , and so, there it was, but still did not play ...

tried again after the update...same .... then ,

i clik on "artists" open the same album which again shows the song, twice, Both Play ?!?

so, tho it seems to be working now, i have no clue as to why

when i purchase an album, after it's download , i move it to the playlist;

Beatles , Sound Tracks, Blues, i want

then back it up on an ext drive, and download to the 2 ipod classics i use for playback ...

only listen on the computer if i'm checkin a song out to burn to a disc or put on a flash

that's it ! so it's possible this issue is sitting there on other downloads , is what i'd guess

it's almost 14K albums

i figured it was a simple setup, perhaps there's an better way ... but remember

i'm pretty simple too !!!

thanx

ooops forgot to mention

when i saw the song and it's copy from windows ...did Not play there either !
