Repeated requests for authorization after migration to 10.6

Recently migrated from my old eMac to a new Mini running OS10.6.
Itunes repeatedly asks for authorization on certain songs - those bought with an old AOL ID back in the day. I enter the ID and PW, then itunes tells me this ID has been changed to an Apple ID. I enter the Apple ID and PW and itunes tells me the computer is authorized. But the old songs still wont play - just repeats the problem over and over again.
I've deauthorized all the IDs' and reauthorized - no luck.
I've deleted the SC folder and reauthorized - no luck.
Thanks for any ideas!

I did contact support and got the same advice. However - I found the answer!
When I would attempt to authorize by using my old AOL ID i would get an answer telling me that Apple had created an Apple ID for this old account and asking me to log in using this converted Apple ID account. I would do so, but would leave off the "@aol" ending in the Apple ID field (thinking that it wasn't neccessary since I wasn't logging into AOL). Turns out this is the key - the ID needs to have the complete ending.
Once I authorized using an Apple ID of "[email protected]" with the correct password everything worked.
Whew! Three days of screwing around on that one.
Thanks for everyones suggestions!

TS1389 Repeated Requests For Authorization

My brother and I share a computer, but have separate iTunes accounts. Several songs purchased on his account - Marshall Tucker Band, Heard it in a Love Song (not the only song, just the latest example) - will not play on the computer, no matter which account we are signed into. It says that this computer is not authorized to play this song, and prompts me to enter a password. I do so, and it then says this computer is already authorized. But when I try to play the song, it again tells me the computer is not authorized. I have read all the previous troubleshooting links pointed out by moderators, and NONE of the troubleshooting tips worked for us. I am the admin of this computer, and I already deauthorized all computers and reauthorized this one for both me and my brother's account. PLEASE do not just point out the troubleshooting tips found at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US as these have all been tried and none of them solved the issue.
Thank you for your time in this matter.

I have this problem as well. Upgraded to new Mac and now I can't sync anything. I've authorized the computer for each device under each Apple ID and I still can't sync. I've done everything suggested in the "
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases" and even tried the "
iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization". Nothing is working! I don't want to have to repurchase everything. Someone please find a solution!

Repeated requests for authorization.

Hi all
I posted this problem once before but never have gotten any suggestions, except from Apple, and theirs didn't work. Hoping for better luck this time.
When I sync my Ipod or ITouch, I get a message that I have to authorize my computer. When I select authorize and enter my user name and password, it says that the computer is already authorized. It will then sync with the device. If I then disconnect the device and reconnect, it will sync without the message. The number of available authorizations does not change. But it happens the next time I start ITunes. I have tried deauthorizing and then authorizing again, but it has no effect.
Not a major problem, but annoying, so any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks - yes that was in fact my first stop. It really does not fit my symptoms. I can play my downloads okay. Its just that every time I sync it asks for authorization, and then when I enter it, it says I'm already authorized.
Anyway - I tried the suggestions but no joy.

Computer constantly asks for authorization after migration to new mac when trying to sync ipod?

I've recently migrated to a new MacbookPro running Lion, from a Macbook running Leopard. My iTunes account and computer, though authorized, will not sync to my ipod, saying it will delete 15 or more files purchased through itunes as the computer is not authorized.
I de-authorized both computers and authorized the one I am currently using - to no avail, it still throws up the error. The account keeps reverting back to an old .mac address that I never used and have changed this to my new ID within the Mobileme website. Again this has not helped!
Am I going to have to find the original music files and copy them in to my itunes again rather than trying to do it through this authorizing thing? Is there any thing I can do to get this error to go?
I have recently got some new music that I put on itunes, but due to the error am unable to sync my ipod to get the tracks on there now!
Help! Getting very frustrated!

Okay...fixed it. It was to do with my old @mac.com ID, which after searching on here have found you also cannot merge the identities.
Bit of a pain, but got it working now...

TS1389 My PC repeatedly asks for authorization when I open I-tunes library, I have tried ALL the suggestions in help, but to no avail. Anyone got another remedy I could try please?

My PC repeatedly asks for authorization when opening I-tunes library (wont let me play tunes), have tried ALL the suggestions to remedy authorization but to no avail. Anyone got any other suggestions I could try please? I would have thought I-tunes itself should come up with a precise answer to this sort of problem after all this time??

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts. You may get a warning that Wi-Fi is not available, that you're too far from the base station, or that you're using the wrong password.
Assuming that you've ruled out those possibilities, click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane and authenticate, if necessary. From the Location menu at the top of the window, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.

New iPad repeated requests for iCloud ID

Since setting up my new iPad (3rd generation) I have been plagued with repeated requests for my iCloud ID/Apple ID. It happens at least once a day, often when I open the device in the morning, but also happens during the day when waking the iPad from sleep. I never had this problem with my old iPad 2. Any help appreciated.

I have started cancelling the request and can't see any difference.
Wonder how I can stop this.
I shut down overnight.

Try running Keychain First Aid and resetting the original keychain.

Photoshop CS6 Repeated request for license number

How can I stop CS6 repeatedly requesting entry of the license number.
It is becoming a real pain!!

Here we are on January 6th and still no solution.
Having paid nearly £200 for the upgrade all I have received is a considerable amount of trouble. The problem has not only affected my upgrade to CS6 but it also seems to have stopped my RAW file processing in CS5 so that I am unable to undertake my normal working procedures.
Do ADOBE at head office know of these problems (I am aware that others have experienced similar difficulties.)?
I shall copy this reply to Adobe Systems in Ireland and UK as I feel that I have had a very raw deal in this matter. My computer systems are not unusual and are kept up to date. I have no problems with any other software and have only experienced these difficulties with Photoshop since the upgrade to CS6. Frankly it would seem that Adobe are now only interested in supporting those who are prepared to pay stupid monthly sums of cash!!!!
I have used, and still use:- Adobe Premier, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Soundbooth and Adobe Audition and have had no difficulties with any of this software. I was seriously considering the purchase of Adobe InDesign but it appears that you only wish to support Cloud Membership purchases now so I shall have to re-think that as well. I’m really fed up with Adobe at present. After 30 odd years it would seem you no longer require my patronage.
Having got that off my chest! I look forward to the session with Adobe to resolve these issues tomorrow at 12:00.
Will post the result later.

How to trigger approval request for resources after assigning role

Hi,
We have a use case where we need to assign resources to user via assigning roles.
In order to achive this use case
1. we have created a role and assigned the access policy to it which contain the resources to be provisioned once the role is assigned to the user.
2. Created a SOA composite having manager approval and assigned this composite to a approval policy of type 'Assign Role'.
3. I am already having the approval policy for the resources which are present in roles. The approval policy of resources is of type "Provision Resource".
4. Also the SOA composite for resource apporal is deployed in OIM and assigned to the approval policy.
5. Now when I am raising the request from OIM of type "Assign Role" the approval defined in the SOA composite for Role approval gets triggered. After approving the role request the role is assigned to the user and also the resources defined in the access policy gets provisioned to teh user account.
Now I want to trigger the resource approval process after the role approval instead of directly provisioning the resources. So that once the role is approved the individual Approval Process of resources part of roles should also gets invoked. Based on the approval or rejection of resources approval, the resource gets assigned to the user.
Please let me know how to achieve the above use case.
Thanks in advance

Access policy is saying whoever gets xyz role, will get this abc resource. Now once a user gets xyz role, you are stopping to get abc resource? both are contradictory. Don't go through access policy. User is anyway going to request for roles. Modify your flow and make user request for resource. Have your composite and approval policy attached. User will get resource once it is approved.
regards,
GP

Repeated requests for account verification

I am trying to update my apps on my iPod touch. I get repeated requests to verify my account information without ever getting connected to iTunes and downloding the information.
I was able to log into iTunes from my PC, downloaded a song and got confirmation for being billed for it.

Repeated requests for user name and password

I am suddenly getting repeating requests to provide my user name and password but the requesting screen already has this information filled in. Each time I press OK the request returns. Is this a server problem?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

A quick look through this board will reveal that this has been an intermittent problem with BT Yahoo! for ages and is one of the reasons are moving to a new BT Mail (which itself has stalled because of problems). Meanwhile, logging in direct to webmail then out again has been known to overcome the password issue.

Repeated requests for "librariand wants to use login keychain"

I am frequently getting dialogue box requests for "librariand wants to use login keychain"....
I understand this is an Apple process, apparently related to iCloud... but how many times does it need to interrupt me?!
There is no "check to remember" option.
Any way to get it to cease?

ITunes 7.7.1 repeatedly asking for authorization

Something has happened (at some point after upgrading to iTunes 7.7.1) and now every time I try to play any iTunes purchased song it asks me to authorize that song. Over and over and over again. In addition all my purchased songs / TV shows / applications have been removed from my iPod touch.
This is only my 3rd computer that is authorized. I have followed ALL the steps at
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389?viewlocale=en_US
including deauthorizing computer, removing the "SC Info" folder, rebooting, and reauthorizing. All to no avail.
Any ideas?
David

I for one don't believe it to be server related. It would be affecting everyone would it not? Secondly, my iMac was working fine even after 7.1.1, until I de-authorized it and re-authorized it that is.
iTunes is not saying it's not authorized- it's saying it is.
Also, I can transfer purchased music, but can't hear it on my iPhone, while I can't even play it in iTunes.
I've got a support e-mail into Apple, we'll see what happens. If it's not resolved promptly, I'm going to push for a full refund on my entire purchased catalogue.

I lost paid-for Apps after Migrating to Mac Pro

Hi
I was running my iPhone from an iMac and had a number of paid-for Apps from the Apple Store. I have today migrated to a Mac Pro and when I connected my iPhone to iTunes it synced, but when it had finished I found that I had lost all my paid-for Apps!
How do I recover the Apps that I used to have? Is there information I need to copy across from my old iMac to my new iTunes on the Mac Pro? And if so, how do I then get them back onto my iPhone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Artifice

Are the apps still present in iTunes (the Applications section of the library)? Make sure iTunes menu > Preferences > General tab has the box to show Applications checked.
Did you Authorize your Mac Pro, and Sign In to your account (both in the iTunes > Store menu)?
If all else fails, you can redownload the apps for free:
