This computer is no longer authorized? 44 songs will be removed from ipod?

this computer is no longer authorized? 44 songs will be removed from ipod? How do I get my songs? They are from an email address i had years ago. When ipods were new. I don't remember that password!

Are you sure you authorized it for the ID)s) that purched all the media on the iPod?
If so them maybe:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

THE IPHONE CANNOT BE SYNCED BECAUSE THIS COMPUTER IS NO LONGER AUTHORIZED FOR PURCHASED ITEMS THAT ARE ON THIS PHONE

Hi I have a macbook pro (late 2011) running on Yosemite and an iPhone 5s running iOS 8.1.2 and I have never had a problem until tonight. I wanted to sync my iPhone to add mew music but upon syncing I keep getting a pop up message saying "THE IPHONE " " COULD NOT BE SYNCED BECAUSE THIS COMPUTER IS NO LONGER AUTHORIZED FOR PURCHASED ITEMS ON THIS PHONE" and tells me to go to the store tab on the top and to authorize this computer and every time I do it says computer is already authorized. I will also mention that my iTunes account is the only account that is used on my Mac and it is the only account I've used on my iPhone. Ive synced them plenty of time with no problems. I have never came across this message before and now my iPhone won't sync. I have been online for an hour now looking for solutions but I haven't found any that successfully worked. Ive rebooted both my Mac and iPhone with no success. ow for some reason when I plug my iPhone in it does not even charge but my Mac reads it and it shows up in the iTunes store so I tried syncing it again 1 more time snap it just gets stuck on step 1. I must also say state that is did successfully back up but absolutely will not sync. Can anybody please help me out without resetting my iPhone. Thanks

Thanks Gail but ive tried that as well as logging oht and back into my accounts on my iphone and mac but I still get that message. I actually found a solution by unckecking my synced music playlist and clicking sync to remove it and then reclicked on my playlist to sync and it actually synced notmally and I got all of my new songs so I wanted to test it again so I clicked on sync again and the message once again popped up until I did the un-syncing and re-syncing again. I guess I will keep doing that in the future even though its annoying but its better than resetting my iphone.

I'm getting this error message "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPod '___'s iPod.' Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?" I have authorized the computer.

I just purchased songs on itunes, I can play them on my windows 7, but when I try to sync the ipod, I get the error "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items on "Stephanie's ipod" Would you like to authorize this computer for purchases from the itunes store. When I authorize it, it says it is already authorized. Then the process starts all over again. Help.

You can't change the Apple ID that the Authorize dialog comes up with by default. It's showing you that Apple ID for a reason: it means that the items you want to play were purchased using that Apple ID and therefore you need to authorize your computer with that Apple ID. Changing the Apple ID given completely defeats the entire purpose.
If you don't know the password to the given Apple ID, then you will no longer be able to play those items.

I got a new PC. I was able to back up the old one and dowloaded my iTunes library. I keep getting a message that says: This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on this iPod." It asks me to authorize, which I have done 20 ti

My old PC died and I got a new one. I was able to back up the old PC and downloaded my iTunes library on the new PC. I keep getting a message saying: "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on this iPod. Would you like to authorize this computer for the items purchased from the iTunes store?" I have authorized the new PC, but it continues to ask me over and over, and if I authorize it again, it tells me I already authorized. So frustrating! I deactivated the old PC and activated the new one.
Also, I purchased a song from iTunes store and while it shows in my library on the PC, it won't download to the iPod. Why won't the new song download to the iPod?
Any ideas. suggestions?

Well Authorize the Computer...........

This computer is no longer authorized message over and over- please help

got a new laptop, tried to sync ipod touch and got message "this computer is no longer authorized". when I hit authorize my husbands email comes up, rather than mine, it is his old itouch. when I type in my email and password and hit authorize it says this computer is already authorized. when I hit ok, it all starts over again......... "this computer is no longer authorized". HELP!!!! what do I do?

It's probably because you are trying to sync apps or songs that were downloaded with your Husbands account. If you right click (Windows) or Control+click (Mac) and select Get Info it will display what acount it was downloaded under.
If it was downloaded with your Husbands Apple ID, you won't be able to sync it to your device without entering his password.

This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items

When I plug in my iPod and iTunes starts syncing, I get the message "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPod '___'s iPod.' Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?"
When I then click Authorize, iTunes brings up an ancient iTunes ID that I haven't used in years. I do remember the password for it, though. However, that doesn't work. It says an error has occurred. When I enter my current (and longterm) iTunes ID and password, that also doesn't work (same error message). I've tried deauthorizing my Macbook but I get another error message. Worth noting--I don't get an error message when I log into iTunes through the store.
I don't think this is a problem with my iPod. I think it's an iTunes issue. (I could be wrong of course.) By the way, all of these songs should already be authorized. I haven't made any purchases lately, and syncing these songs previously has been no problem. It appears that the songs that are causing the trouble are DRM songs that I have yet to update (purchase an update from Apple, gee thanks, Apple) to non-DRM format.
Please advise. Thanks!

This just happened to me too. I migrated my old mac to a new one. I was getting the same message "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPhone “_____”. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?". when I try to sync any ios device.
This worked for me. ALL user id's for itunes in the computer need to be authorized for every account on this machine.
When I click authorize after getting the message above I noticed that the ID that showing was for my spouses account. I actually have two itunes accounts on this machine (me and my spouse).
If you look in your itunes folder check if you have more than one itunes account. Open iTunes with the "option" key pressed. Select the other account. Sign in using your email username and password for that account. Then authorize that one. Log out, close itunes, and reopen with "option" pressed. Select your main itunes account. Sign in again with your normal ID and password.
I'm all fine now. I hope this works for you too.

This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPod “Mac0217’s iPod”. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?
If you do not authorize this computer, 117 songs, including “Der Kommissar”, will be removed from the iPod.
I have authorized the computer but keeps giving me the message above.
I recently had my mother board replaced but my hard drive was spared. Ever since the replaced mother board I been getting this message.

The iPod could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPod.

Full message that pops up
"The iPod could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPod.
To authorize this computer for items purchased from iTunes Store, choose Store > Authorize This Computer."
I am unable to sync my music, applications, movies, etc. to my iPod touch. The only way I am able to bypass the message that pops out when I try to sync (the one in the title) is by clicking "Apply" instead of "Sync". To do this, I make changes to Apps, Music, or Movies (...) and the buttons "Revert" and "Apply" will replace the button "Sync".
My problem is most likely not due to using many accounts because I only have one and it is the only one that I use. I do not share accounts with my family members. Still, I have tried everything here, nothing has worked for me. Since I don't often listen to Podcasts, I have deleted them from my iPod. I have no idea why I am unable to sync and no one seems to have the same problem as me.
Thank you for your help in advance.

"this computer is no longer authorized for applications that are installed on the ipad "name of ipad" Would you like to autoriize for items purchased from the itunes store?
if you do not autorize ....
Why am I getting this message I only have 1 computer the ipad connects to, it hasnt changed so why do I suddenly have to autorize it again????

I've gotten the same issue now on my ipad.
My mac mini is authorized. I only have ONE itunes account. I sync my original ipad today and I get this message. So i say sure authorize, even tho it is. Enter login and password, comes back with this computer is already authorized. I knew that but ok. hit ok. Up pops message that this computer is no longer authorized, blah blah blah. Ok ill try again. Authorize credentials entered. Get message that computer is already authorized. Itunes is most recent 10.2.1. Ipad is updated to 4.3.1.
I deauthorized computer and reauthorized it. Still get loop.
google for solutions, find lots of problems, no answers outside of reinstall itunes and it "might" work, but not for everyone. Not gonna do that yet.
Figure Ill call, I mean its not that an old a device and its surely a bug in the software, I havent changed a single thing since I last synced and only tried got the sync message when i plugged it in to update the OS.
/rant on Go through a gazillion voice prompts and question, finally get operator and he'll help me if i spend 80 or 30 bucks depending on the service program I want. Yah know thats just total #$%@.
How about some customer service eh? How about posting a solution to the forums. If you dont have one, at least tell people that.
I get the same bit of attitude when I walk in the apple store. Love the products, have been an apple user since the IIe, but I just want the products I bought from you, the software that I get from you, the music that I buy from you, the apps that I buy from you, etc etc to WORK with each other.
/rant off
has anyone seen a solution for this.

Error Code: "This computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPad."

I'm getting Error Code: “This computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPad.”
I have tried re-authorizing and the error persists.
I have also tried de-authorizing ALL my devices, then re-authorizing and that did not help either.
My husband and I share this iPad and we have set up family sharing.
We have also each purchased apps using our separate iTunes accounts before I set up the family sharing.
How can we fix this error message so that I can back the iPad up to my Mac again?
Husband thinks that at some point we each synced the iPad to our respective Macs.
Could that be it?
Thx!!

I'm not using family sharing, but if you want to sync or backup the iPad with ITunes, I believe that you have to be signed into the same ID on the iPad that you are signed into on the computer and you also have to be authorized for all Apple ID's on that computer that you want to sync or backup with.
DO you have multiple iTunes libraries on the one computer?

"This ipad could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized with that purchased item on this ipad"
I did authorized in the store, but still did not transfer to the mac. Could you please to tell me what should I do it? Please let me know that as soon as possible.

Thank you

The iPad is fine. But the computer you're syncing with needs to be authorised with the Apple ID that was used to buy the material on the iPad. You do this by picking the 'Authorize' item from the menu in iTunes and entering the account name and password.

IPhone 5S/iTunes (Win7) sync issue: this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPhone

I am trying to synch my iPhone 5S and iTunes for the first time since upgrading. I get the following error message: The iPhone ... could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPhone. To be clear, all I want to do is take the media on my Windows 7 PC and put on my iPhone. When I authorize my PC, I receive a message that the PC is authorized (making 2 of 5 authorized computers).
All of the iTunes purchases were purchased under the same Apple ID, I've never had another Apple ID. Some of the PC media is Amazon mp3 purchases, but this has never been a problem in the past. I have the latest iTunes installed.
I tried to fix the problem doing the following:
1. Authorizing my computer, retrying to sync.
2. Logging into iTunes on my PC, then authorizing the PC, then syncing.
3. Not an Administrator account issue (my login is the Admin account)
4. I turned off user account controls in Win7
5. I removed the SC Info folder in iTunes
Very frustrating, I've been working on this issue for the past several days. After purchasing a 5S, with a high end PC/Win7, and the latest version of iTunes, I shouldn't have to make such an effort to access my purchased content. Please help.

I found the solution in another post. By deleting all my apps, I was able to sync the phone. I hope I don't have to delete all my apps every time I want to sync my phone, but at least now I am able to sync my phone.

Why itune say that could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items are on this iphone?

Dear All.
Pls help to solve this problem for me cos i try to many time but cant done...

Thank you, KirthikaVijayakumar
I'm happy to hear that worked for you.
But I've got so many apps, and a lot of them have important data that I don't want to risk losing by deleting them all. Surely that can't be the only way to solve this problem. Help, Apple!
Both my devices - iPhone 4S with iOS5.1.1 and iPad Mini with iOS6.1.3 - have suddenly become unable to sync purchased items because "this computer is no longer authorized". But when I authorize my computer, I'm told it was already authorized.

This computer is no longer authorized? 44 songs will be removed from ipod?
