Hi RaychelM,
If you are repeatedly prompted to authorize your computer, even after you have already done so, you may find the following article helpful:

Could someone please help? I can play some dowloaded films through Apple TV but my 2 recent purchases won't play. It says I need to authorise my computer (whcih I have already). Has anyone had similar issues?
in remote app click on the
lower left corner on the text
top of the context menu click devices
choose the appletv rather then your shared lib in the list
if you are trying to view a movie that is located on your ipad on your tv using the appletv then
you should use airplay mirror not the remote app -
When I try to transfer over songs from my iPad to my computer it says that i need to authorize my computer, but my computer is already authorzie. It also says that some of my purchased items are not authorized for them on my computer. How do i authorize these items?
Hi slt2014,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would try authorizing your computer again, even if it seems like it is authorized, by following these instructions:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
If this does not resolve the issue, you can also try downloading your purchases directly on your computer by following this:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I just purchased a new computer and downloaded I tunes but when I go to sync my iphone and ipad touch my library from my old computer doesn't show up on the new one. Only the purchased itune songs come up. How do I get my original itunes library?
Have you copied your content over from your old computer and onto the new on ? If not, and you still have your old computer, then there a number of methods described on this page which you can use to copy your library over : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 . If you no longer have your old computer then have you got a backup of your content that you can copy onto the new computer and add into iTunes ?

My Dell laptop hard drive crashed - when I go to sync my iPhone it says that my phone is already synced with another computer and can only be synced with one computer at a time. When I hit sync is says it will erase my phone and sync with the new computer which is blank. How do I get my phone to sync my contacts, pics, apps etc. over to my new hard drive without losing anything.
Yes, so what's confusing... Did you not restore the backup of your data, contacts, pics, apps, music, etc. to the new hard drive after you replaced it or reformatted it or whatever you did? If so, then you can just sync your data back.
If not, please try searching the forum. This has been addressed hundreds of times here. -
I purchased an album on iTunes on my computer, and one of the songs will not play. Itunes says that I need to authorize my computer to play it, but it is authorized. What do i do?
If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music...
Delete the Song(s) and re-download...
See Here > Download Past Purchases

If not... Contact iTunes Customer Service

I keep getting the error message "-42408" and all of my apps got deleted on my iPhone. It says that I need to authorize my computer, so I tried than and that's when the error message showed up. I'm pretty ****** and want my apps to be back on my iPhone. Please help.
What version of iTunes are you using? The error you references seems to be connected with iTunes 9.0.4. That version of iTunes is not compatible with iOS 6. You need to update to the current version of iTunes.

Why won't this song play even after I authorized the computer? It says that I need to authorize the computer, then I enter my username and password and it says the computer is already authorized. But then the song still won't play. What do I do?
Use the Apple ID support -> http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/ - click through the contact information and select the iTunes, etc., hot button. You can have Apple call you or email them.

I recently had a new operating system installed on my two-year old windows computer. iTunes wants me to authorize my computer (again) and then says that I already have five computers authorized. Should I deauthorize all? Would that affect my iPad and iPhone? I may have old, non-functioning computers that are still authorized and should be removed.
Your past purchases are not on the computer. By choosing download all, those purchases will download to the computer.
Once authorized to your iTunes account you can control the computer.
When syncing the iPad the first time you will get the warning " this iPad is synced with another computer, syncing will erase all contents and replace with the contents of this computer"
Say yes, this is what you wan to do. -

I recently installed iTunes on my new HP laptop computer, authorized it according to the instructions, but now can't get past a screen that tells me that I need to authorize the computer. I purchased an album and it's in the library, but it won't sync.
Have a look here...

Im trying to purchase an iphone 6 but when I click the check out button it says that my cart is empty basically my iPhone 6 disappears off my cart
I tried powering down and re-starting the iPhone (as suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275). This seems to have cleared the "...not connected to the Internet" problem, and iOS 6.1 is now in the process of downloading.
Thanks very much for your feedback. -
when I sync my iphone it says that there is newer version of the software but when I click the 'update' button I am told that 'itunes' is the latest version? There seem to be a few apps that are not compatible with my phone and I am wondering if that is because it is not up to date or beacuse it is a 3gs?
Snow Leopard requirements here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
I recommend no less than 2GB's of RAM. There is no download for SL, you must purchase from Apple, $29 at any Apple store. Leopard is no longer sold by Apple. About the only place you can find a retail disk is eBay, however the prices are getting ridiculous.
