Just wondering if anyone can help with this - I picked up a new Mac mini during the week and am in the progress of migrating my iTunes library from my old windows pc to it. I've had an iTunes account for years and have a load of songs I've purchased over the years in the library. My mac is giving me errors saying it won't play most of the songs that I've purchased because I've exceeded the number of computers im allowed to play them on.

Is there any way around this? I'm on my 5th computer in 4 years...is there a way of getting these song to play on my new Mac?

Thanks all

Howdy,
You'll need to deauthorize some of your older machines.

The 5 machine limit is an outdated facet of iTunes. iTunes Plus songs (which is nearly anything bought in the past couple of years) don't have those or other DRM restrictions.
