Hi
I've got into big trouble.
I have a macbook pro. I installed bootcamp 1.3 and Win XP SP2. I copied all of my music CDs to 'My Music' folder in XP partition; Then in Mac I went to the iTunes's prereference, advanced tab, and unchecked 'copy files when I add my files'. After that I added my music files and enjoyed listenning them especially with apple remote control. Several days ago I decided to upgrade my music database in iTunes library so I deleted previous and add files again. After processing a bad event happened!!!
When I use my remote for playing my songs a bad message appears on the screen and says your computer or your songs should be authorized ...
((At previous times I hadn't this problem! I deleted and added my music folder placed in xp partition repeatedly))
You know iTunes plays music but when I want to use my remote it show an alarm in order to authorize!!
Now what do I do?
Please help me.
Thanks alot.

First, I'd suggest you keep your Music in the Mac partition.

Second, all you have to is authorize your computer as you've been asked to do and it should be fine.

Thanks your reply.
Most times I work in XP so I've copied all of my music CDs to XP partition. On the other hand now I haven't apple modem, so I can't connect internet. But it is very interesting for me that my iTunes was working properly (Without any authorize request) and now it ask me to do it!!
Since buying this nice Macbook pro I've not connected to Internet.
