Authorization Error Message

When I try to authorize I get this message
+There was an error storing your authorization information on this computer. The required directory was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again.+
I've already tried repairing permissions with Disk Utility, and I've trashed all of the iTunes files (other than the music of course) in the iTunes folder and the Preferences folder.
My iTunes purchases had been playing on this computer for years without problem until today.
How can I fix this problem? Is there a file I can trash somewhere?
Thanks for your suggestions.

Thanks for the gear reminder...I did read that somewhere. (I'm happy to run on Panther for now....)
Sorry...but I'm not sure what else to suggest. Perhaps someone else in the forum will have the answer.
Just curious...you haven't reached your limit of five authorizations, have you?

No Authorization Error message while displaying plan data in the layout

I am trying to execute laypr01 layout in planning area 4EXP0001(Delivered Content). I am getting a NO AUTHORIZATION error message. When I went back to SU53 and I can see that all authorizations have been successful.
Can somebody please let me know if I am missing something?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Latha,
Run transaction RSSM, go to authorization check log, enter your user. Try execute the BPS layout again, and get the error message.
Then go back to RSSM, and display the Trace by clicking on Trace > Display, and it show you what the authorization problem is.
Hope this helps,

"No Authorization" error message when running Dashboards

Hi Experts,
I have successfully transported my dashboard from DKY system to IKY system. When I am trying to run the dashboard from IKY system it is throwing "No Authorization" error message. Since both the systems have same permission levels.
Urgent help is needed.
Regards
Vishnu Priya

Hi,
Can you able to see the dashboard file in the IKY System.If yes then,check in the user level authorization in CMC,the particular user has been given to connection access(Under OLAP Connection if it is BI else Relational Connection).If you are not able to see the dashboard in particular folder then the folder level authorization might not assigned to that particular user/group.

Authorization error message in iTunes when transferring music to iPod

This has been driving me nuts. I have a 30GB iPod w/ the color display and a brand new Intel MacBook with the latest version of iTunes (iPod's been updated as well). My previous computer, a Powerbook G4, fell off a counter and died on the spot, so my only back up for all the music I have is what's on my iPod.
First, I couldn't transfer all of my music from my iPod to the MacBook because of an authorization problem with iTunes. So, I authorized my computer, which still didn't solve the problem. I resorted to using iPodRip which successfully got all the music off the iPod and onto the MacBook. No harm, no foul.
The problem now is that I can't transfer music from the MacBook to the iPod for the exact same reason: I get the error message saying that some songs are not authorized to play.
I have tried the following things:
1) Deauthorizing and re-authorizing my computer on iTunes = No luck. iTunes informs me that I am now authorized and that I have 1 out of 5 authorizations in use, but the songs still won't transfer.
2) Playing an "unauthorized" song in iTunes. Again, I get a message asking me to enter my account info and then thanking me for authorizing. However, the song won't play in iTunes, nor will it transfer to the iPod.
3) Restoring my iPod to the factory settings. Not sure why I tried this, but it didn't work and is the reason why I no longer have all my songs on my iPod and am trying so desperately to get them back.
4) Used iPodRip to try to reverse the process, but again, no dice.
I have a feeling that the answer to this is stupidly simple and I'm somehow missing some crucial step somewhere. Can someone help me out?
Intel MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Alright, I think I solved the problem on my own. For what it is worth, restarting the computer seemed to solve all of my issues. After restarting, iTunes accepted my authorization (alerting me that I now have 2 of 5 machines authorized) but my iPod kept disconnecting after syncing. So, I reset the iPod, downloaded iTunes 7 and reinstalled it, and whaddya know- It works! I have all of my music on both my computer and the iPod.
It was stupidly simple, too.

Getting authorization error message: Required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed.

I have recently purchased this MacBook used and am trying to authorize it on the iTunes Store but even after uninstalling iTunes and re-installing it with a fresh copy I'm getting this error message: "The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed." And I have no idea of where or how to fix this issue. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I even tried to deauthorize this computer and got the same error message. HELP!

I used Terminal to change the permissions on the folder in question. I followed the instructions in this article:
iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization
In my case, the folder was there, so I needed the command to change permissions on the folder, not to create one. I was hesitant to use Terminal b/c I know that if I made an error I could wipe out my hard drive or render my computer unusable. So to be SURE I didn't make an error, I carefully copied the command from that page and *pasted* it into Terminal. Also, before I could do anything in Terminal, I had to go change my admin password (it had been a blank password before and that's not acceptable for making changes in Terminal). I was just super careful when entering my password or doing anything else while Terminal was open (making sure I didn't accidently hit the spacebar or another key, etc.) And it fixed the problem right away.
What was confusing for me was that the iTunes error message said to change permissions in the FINDER, which is what I was trying to do. It didn't mention Terminal. What would really be helpful is if Apple included a link to a page like this in their error message.

Computer authorization error message using Windows 8

Hi all. When I go to authorize my computer which has Win 8, it doesn't work. I get a 'Connection Error' message. It says: "An error has been detected. Connection Error. Digital Editions could not connect to the activation server. Please make sure you are connected to the internet." I had no problem with my laptop that has XP. I was able to authorize and download my ebook with absolutely no problems. Is there a compatibility issue with Windows 8? Thanks so much. Any help greatly appreciated.

No compatibility issue with authoization on Win8, at least not for most people.
It could be your firewall, or maybe even the antivirus.
Doubloe-check, or try with the firewall (temporarily) turned off.

Authorization issue - repeating error message

I'd just like to mention that I recently experienced the dreaded authorization loop where iTunes continuously asks for authorization to play certain songs. After exhausting different possibilities to resolve the problem, I tried something different. When iTunes asked for my ID and Password, I reset my password through the "forgot password" button - and then answering the secret question I used when I made my ID. Once that was done, I clicked on the song that activated the authorization error, and entered my new password. This worked for me.
I should note that the ID that was displayed by the authorization error message (before resolving my issue) did not follow the '[email protected]'. The ID field only displayed everything prior to the '@' symbol. I don't know what to make of this, but as I looked at the songs that I wanted to play, and by utilizing the command+i (get info) function for the songs, I noticed that the purchaser ID did not follow the '[email protected]' format either (though all other music I was able to play DID follow this format).
So, I would suggest checking the songs that activate the authorization error, and taking note of the user ID that purchase the song. I suggest putting that ID into the ID field of the error message, resetting the password, and seeing where that leads.
It was a weird situation but I figured it out. Hope this helps someone!

repeating error message: "acl found but not expected" during permissions repair
My iMac is running slow. Processor running all the time. I was told to do permissions repair, so I did that. I get 100's and 100's of "ACL found but not expected" while doing a permissions repair in 'utilities'. It says 1 minute to complete but runs for a half hour. When it finally completes, I can restart the permissions repair again and it starts all over with same endless messages. Even though its says 'repaired', these ACL issues keep coming.
ACLs are just junk left over from previously installed OSXs. Just ignore. They have no impact.
Describe your exact issue and computer specs and Linc may run you through a series of tests which may well help you find the problem to your issues. I agree, Permissions repair is rarely required.

BW Authorization Error documentation Question

Hi,
I have a question, may be you can help in this:
Q: In BW Analyzer if we get the following authorization error for some reason:
->Authorization Check
You do not have authorization for Add or Create
There is a Details tab to see the authorization error details. I need to add documentation for the naming conventions the Users need to use so that it's easy for Users to see what is the reason for the error and what naming convention do they need to use to prevent the error.
Right now, details tab shows "No Documentation Available". How can I add documentation here? Where do I add this documentation and how do I link it to the Authorization Error Message's Details tab?
I tried running RSRTRACE to see which function modules/programs get called but that does not help. It gives me the following two function modules which are being called when I get the error message and when I click the details tab:
RZX0_MESSAGES_GET
RZX0_MESSAGE_H_GET
and surprisingly when I try to look them up in SE37 they do not exist What can be the reason for this?
Is there a system transaction, like .. SM02, in BW where we can define or create authorization error message documentation for BEx Analyzer? How do I link it to the Authorization Error message?
Your help or advise will be very much appreciated.
Thank You,
Regards,
Mandeep Virk

It can be done via SE91.
Message Class is R9 and message number is 108
We have to define the Long Text and save it under the RSZ class.
It works for me now.
Thanks,

Error message when logging into financial reporting studio 11.1.1.3

I receive the following error message when I attempt to login in to financial reporting studio 11.1.1.3:
"You are not authorized to use this functionality. Please contact your administrator."
I'm attempting to login with the default "admin" user that appears to have been automatically provisioned with all user rights.
I see the following error message in FRClient.log (on the client):
09-14 13:48:40 ERROR ConfigResourceBundle Could not find fr_configcache.properties file
The server components (foundation, fr server, essbase) are on a linux machine and fr studio (along with the common foundation files) are installed on a windows machine.
The fr_configcache.properties file does not exist on the client but it does on the server.
Edited by: user5326851 on Sep 14, 2010 1:59 PM

I tried copying the file fr_configcache.properties to c:\hyperion\products\biplus\lib and this got rid of the error message that shows up in FRClient.log but I still receive the same authorization error message in the GUI.

Cancel a SD invoice error message "no authorization for transaction FB08"

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to cancel a SD invoice and am receiving the error message " no authorization for transaction FB08" is coming. Never has this happened in past, i have checked all the security authorizations also and they are in place. Accounting document status is showing as not cleared. Also, as per my understanding cancellation of invoice happens through VF11 which does not calls FB08. Please point out reasons as to why this could be happening and the possible solution thereof.
regards
Anmol Pareek

Hi Anmol
Once you got the error screen, immediately after that goto T code SU53 and expand all link. Take the screen shot and send it to your BASIS team to provide you proper access.
Yes you are correct cancellation is done through VF11 but sometime some programs internally calls other T codes.
take help of your basis team.

Error message: Cannot sync songs purchased in iTunes to iTouch because computer is not authorized. I go in and authorize computer (only computer I have ever used for iTunes), seems to be successful. Then I try to sync again and it gives same error mesg

It just goes in a circle. This computer not authorized to sync purchased songs to iTouch. Follow directions to authorize computer, seems successful. Sync again and it comes up with the same error message....this computer not authorized to sync iTune purchases to iTouch. I have deauthorized the computer and reauthorized and it didn't make a difference. I updated and restored to factory settings. Still same error message. I have had this problem the last 2 times I have synced. Worked previously. Any ideas??

additional info: I looked into similar complaints. 1 suggested that something is wrong with the files. Delete them off of computer and divice (but they are not on my divice anymore) and then download them again from iTunes purchase history. Went in to check iTunes purchases to make sure the songs would be there if I did follow these steps. Well, NONE of them are in my purchase history.....probably the real problem here. I had an original iPod Nano and then upgraded to my current iTouch.....same computer for both. Could there have been a problem at the point of switching over to the iTouch? That doesn't make sence to me because it is through iTunes and it was the same account for both. I thought I'd be smart and put all the songs in a playlist and burn to a CD and them load them back in that way.....but I was not authorized to burn to a CD....go figure. Any idease would be great!!

ITunes podcast downloading problem. "Authorization is required to access" error message.

I've been subsribing to a podcast through iTunes for years with no problems, but today I get the error message:
"There was a problem downloading (podcast name). Authorization is required to access (url feed)"
Its a BBC podcast and I now get the same error message for all the other BBC podcasts that I subscribe to. I also cant play or download any BBC podcasts from the iTunes Store. All other podcasts by all other providers are fine.
Weirdly this problem seems to be limited to the Macbook Pro as the iMac on the same network can access the problem podcasts with no hassle.
A few web searches have turned up very little, any ideas in Apple Communities-land!

Hey Roger and thanks for your amazingly quick response.
I did a quick confirm: it doesn't seem to work on any Windows machines I can get my hands on, so it isn't something specific to me (whew!). It definitely DOES work on any Mac I can get my hands on (which you also confirmed - thanks).
That link, the feedproxy.google.com one, works fine on Windows and Mac alike. I very much imagine that someone else is using FeedBurner and while I'm not huge into podcasts, there are a lot of others who are. This issue would've come up if it were something like that. Either way: I can access that link (and thus the content) just fine on any machine I'm on.
So, what you're saying is to ditch FeedBurner entirely and just submit the raw feed to iTunes. That sounds good (and, if I want more indepth statistics later, I'll cross that bridge then)...but I'm afraid I'm not sure how to do that. I've already submitted the FeedBurner feed to iTunes and I'm not sure how I'd go about changing it. Would I simply ask iTunes to delete the old feed and more or less resubmit?
Thanks for the help about the artwork. The individual files may very well be missing the metadata, as when I asked the guy doing that if he had included the artwork, he indicated he was rather confused. I'll test that out in a bit. The feed artwork, however, I must admit ignorance about. Where might I be able to change that? I'm using WordPress and...PowerPress/BluBrry (or whatever it's referred to).
Thanks again for being so incredibly helpful with all this. And so timely, too.

I just downloaded itunes onto my new laptop and I am trying to burn songs onto a cd that I had purchased previously and I am getting an error message that states I must authorize this computer. What does that mean?

If the computer's running Mac OS X, move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store, and choose Authorize this Computer.
If the computer's running Windows, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.
