HT3819 iTunes is saying it cannot import media because the computer is not authorized, but it has been authorized. Help!

I am trying to share my iTunes library and have Home Sharing turned on both computers with the same Apple ID and have the second computer authorized, but when I try to import media, iTunes is telling me the computer is not authorized. Help!

The computer needs to be authorised to play with whatever Apple ID purchased the music. You may need each computer to be authorised with all Apple IDs.
Have a look at the get info summary page of the media and see what Apple ID purchased it. Then authorise the computer with that Apple ID
Store > Authorise this computer
This is separate from the Home Sharing element

Hello Negaz
When you uninstalled iTunes, did you uninstall it by using the article below or just uninstalled iTunes? The best practice is to remove not only iTunes, but also other associating software in the order that the first article give. If that does not work, then check out the second article for more troubleshooting options for connecting your iPhone to your computer.

When I'm trying to sync my iPad with iTunes on my MacBook Pro, i keep getting a message that certain recent purchases (TV shows) won't sync because the computer is not authorized. But, it IS authorized! What's going on here??

I've recently upgraded my iPad to OS 5 and I am running iTunes 10 on my MacBook Pro. For some unexplainable reason, I'm now getting a message that items (mainly TV shows I've purchased through iTunes) are not able to be downloaded because the computer is "not authorized." But the computer IS authorized. I follow the instructions to "authorize" it and, of course, I'm then told that the computer is already authorized! Still, the downloads won't sync.
Can anyone help me out with this?

I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.

I downloaded it and looked at it. Even Graphic Converter can't recover any pixels or meaningful data, just some general information:
In my experience, if GraphicConverter can't open it, nothing will.
Your file is toast Sorry.

"Cannot complete command because the extension could not be loaded." with CEP5 Sample

Hi,
I have trouble with porting my extension to CEP5. I am getting error "Cannot complete command because the extension could not be loaded." when I open the panel.
Is there any way to get more info about what happened and why? My extension was properly signed zxp and Extension Managed installed it without trouble.
Also, to debug the problem, I tried to open the CEP HTML Test Extension - https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/Samples/tree/master/CEP_HTML_Test_Extension_5.0
I have copied it to "~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions/com.adobe.CEPHTMLTEST", created .debug file in it (https://gist.github.com/m6k/39a49786b7a85a9e312b), created empty .debug file inside Photoshop CC 2014.app (to suppress signature checking). When I open Photoshop CC 2014, I see test panels listed in extension menu, but when I try to open them, I also get the "Cannot complete command because the extension could not be loaded." error.
Any hints what i am doing wrong and what can I do to debug this problem?
Jan

Hallgrimur, thanks, that is exactly the article I needed!
My problem was that I forgot about the pref file "~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.CSXS.5.plist".
