ITunes repeatedly prompts for computer authorization for only one song

I already tried apple recommended resolutions but unfortunately they were not my resolution. Only one song after purchasing lots of others cannot be played because it asks computer authorization. I'm using windows 7 and itunes is the most recent. Now no one in apple is replying to my email. Did anyone have the similar case like this and solved,, please suggest the solution!

I just solved by myself. I signed on to another computer's itunes and downloaded the song. It looks like no better solution out there. I hope anyone else who encountered the same problem - for the first time and frustrated badly like me - get help from this.

  • TS1389 iTunes repeatedly prompts for authorisation of songs. Help anyone?

    I recently purchased several songs on iTunes a couple won't play and repeatedly prompt for authorisation which it accepts and then asks for again. 
    I've tried all listed fixes, including authorising from the administrator account and removing the SC info multiple times but the songs still wont play.
    Any help appreciated!!
    Thanks!

    Delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.

  • Searching artwork for only one song at a time

    When I use the "Get Artwork" feature in iTunes it searches my entire library for artwork that i'm missing (which i don't think it does a very good job at it anyway). this takes too long and just isn't what i want. Is there a way to have it only seach for album artwork for just one song.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    I don't believe iTunes will focus on one track when finding Cover Art.
    However, I use the Album Art Widget, which will supply the cover art (if it's available on Amazon) for the track, or album currently playing.
    Very easy to use.

  • IPhoto's Slide Show allows for only one song !

    I love the feature of iPhoto's slide show for a user to accompany a slide show with music from one's iTunes library. However, you can only pick one song. That means that if you have a slide show longer than one songs worth of time (most slide shows will be this way), the song will just keep repeating.
    Sure would be nice if there was a way to either play mutiple songs from a user's iTunes playlist. Alternatively, I've heard that the a capability may exist (outside of iTunes) to concatenate multiple songs together to accomplish the same end.
    Any suggestions on how to do either of the above?

    Hey Baheno,,
    there's so many Roads that lead to Rome!
    Road #1
    You can consolidate 2or more songs together in iTunes and name that (2 in 1) big song, Say, "eye of the tiger 2in 1) so this way it will be easy to locate it in the iTunes library while searching through iPhoto. Else you can create a separate albums in iTunes, and you put there only songs that are combined together.
    Road #2
    This is the one I prefer. You can export your slide show to QT (Quicktime). it requires some calculation to create a slide show that ends with the end of 1 song. Then you create another QT slide show, that ends with another songs.... etc..... after you merge all the parts together and you have a very long slide show with many songs!
    Transitions:
    Keep in mind that exporting to quicktime uses only the desolve transition. Which is fine with me. I have seen so many people doing some power point presentation and slide show with photos and using a array of different transitions..... in the same slide show.....it is disturbing, and takes away from viewing pictures. In cinema, it is said: "the thecniques should remain invisible" so keep the disolve transition... it is the least obtrusive .... your viewers, will never complain that there was no "cube effects"! Only you know about the missing effects!
    Self contained file.
    When you export to QT, you now have a file that you can send people through e-mail (given that it is a reasonable size) or you can even post them on web page! like a .mac page.
    When you want to view the show, you just click on the file and play it. No need to start iPhoto. No need to have a MAC, it can be seen on a PC too with QT. You can put it on a CD or DVD, and can be viewed on a DVD player.
    But when you play your slide show directly from iPhoto, you have to be in front of your mac, you have to have iPhoto open! But you can have you mac connected to a TV in the living room (I do) and then can play the slide show from iPhoto, using a TV-VGA adaptor that will play on your living room TV for a larger crowd to see. It can also be played through the sound system!!!! infinity and beyond!!
    If you want more specific on how to export to QT and merge 2,3,4,5 files post back. I will get more into it.
    I always export to QT, because this way, in the future, you do not have to mess around again in selecting the photos needed, and selecting the songs in iPhoto. I just click the QT file, and it will always play the same!
    hope this helps!

  • Hi,  iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases.

    Hi,
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorizecomputer to play iTunes Store purchases.
    I have the latest iTunes on a PC (WindowsVista).
    I try to play a song from iTunes andit tells me I'm not authorized and prompts me for my password. This authorizesthe computer but when I try to play the same (or any previously purchased) songI still get the same error and re-prompt for password.
    I have tried thefollowing:
    1. Authorize mypurchases from an administrator account.
    2. Authorize usingthe correct account name.
    3. Turn Off UserAccount Controls.
    4. Remove the SCInfo folder.
    And this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    5. Installed the new iTunes
    6. I have double-checked that themusic was purchased by me by right clicking and hitting Info.
    7. I havede-authorized this PC and re-authorized (which it confirms) it to the same effect.
    The number ofPC's authorized is only 1, this one.
    I do not know what else to try?
    Any help would be appreciated!

  • ITunes won't play one song only on my new album it keeps asking me to verify my computer just for that one song. Anyone know what's up?

    I have just used iTunes for the first time. I bought an album from the i store. It downloaded to my PC. I can play all the tunes except one. For that one it keeps asking my to verify my computer even though it is already verified. It plays all the other 13 tunes on the album, so I don't understand what is wrong with that particular one. Any ideas?

  • Repeated prompts for Apple ID password in iTunes

    I can sign in to iTunes with both of my Apple ID's but then get repeated prompts for my password when I attempt to access purchased items or account information.  No similar problem on my Mac Book Pro or iPad.
    I have de-authorized and re-authorized the computer for both ID's.  I also looked for the SC folder but it cannot be found (Apple advises trashing it).  I therefore have no access to recent purchases or my own account information.  Help anyone?
    Mac Pro, OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1

    You may need to do a credit card "update" in your account.  Apparently "it" needed a re-verify because I had accessed my apple account from another computer.  Did so and it worked. Apple is opaque in many ways and it was totally unhelpful as it just kept rejecting my good password with no explanation.

  • TS1389 iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorise computer even after the computer is already authorised

    iTunes repeatedly prompts me to authorise computer before playing a particular song. The problem persists even after I've authorised my computer. When I try to authorise again, it acknowledges that my computer is alrady authorised but the song will still not play.

    Bought a song off iTunes Store on my iphone, came home, synced with my computer, and had the same problem with being asked for authorization. I authorized and recieved messages telling me my computer was authorized, yet it kept asking for authorization repeatidly every time I attempted to play the song. The song no longer worked on my iphone as well once I synced with my computer.
    I took newriii's advice, deleted the song off my iTunes, logged on the iTunes Store, viewed my purchases, downloaded the song once again, and it now works fine.
    Weird bug, yo.

  • ITunes keeps prompting me to authorize my computer when I try to play a movie I rented.  Then it tells me my computer is already authorized and I'm stuck in a loop.  I've tried all the troubleshooting options but no luck.

    iTunes keeps prompting me to authorize my computer then tells me it's already authorized and I'm stuck in a loop. The troubleshooting options haven't worked.  Any suggestions or does anybody have a phone number for iTunes so I can talk to a human being about this?

  • Confusion on iTunes Plus Files and Computer Authorization

    I wonder if someone could help me alleviate some confusion surrounding iTunes plus files and computer authorizations.  I personally also have iTunes match on my account.
    Reading online it appears that all iTunes Plus files do not not have DRM. I have this setup on my main iMac in my house. Now, I am copying music to my wife's laptop via home sharing. She is not using iTunes match because she has her own iTunes account. The home sharing is using her iTunes account. What is confusing me is that her laptop asking me to authorize the computer for playback of the audio files under my iTunes account. Why is this occuring if there is no DRM on the files?
    I understand that I need to authorize machines for my iTunes match account, but these all should theoretically be DRM files that I am dragging and dropping via home sharing to her machine. Can anyone clarify what is going on in this situation?

    Go to Store -> View Account. Log in to your account and click Purchase History. Then click Report a Problem. Then choose your upgrade purchase and explain your situation.

    The only content that's associated with your account are songs, etc. that you've purchased from the iTunes Store.  Everything else (material imported from CD, bought from other sources like Amazon, etc.) is stored on your computer (or your mom's). So, even though you've logged into iTunes with your Apple ID you are still seeing the content of your mom's library (which implies that your running iTunes under the same Windows user account).  I believe that iTunes Match (which I don't have - its an add-on service that you have to pay a subscription for) allows your "local" content to be uploaded to Apple's cloud servers and shared in the way that you describe.  if your computer and your mom's are on the same network you may be able to access your songs by turning on network sharing (not Home Sharing) while both machines are on and running iTunes.

    iTunes match will only work from a computer in terms of uploading new content. You should be able to copy iTunes purchases back via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). For content from other sources there are some third-party programs listed half-way down this page which might help you get your content back from your phone : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
