TS1286 despite computer authorized : iPad sync bugs

My iMac running OX Lion 10.7.4 is authorized to play iTunes purchases done with my Apple ID. All purchases play fine on the computer, and Apple TV's etc...
When I connect my iPad to sync with my computer, I get an error message : "Some of the items in the iTunes Library.. were not copied on the iPad because you are not authorized for them on this computer".
I have tried deauthorizing/re-authorizing. I have wiped my iPad clean and restarted it from scratch, so far nothing has worked to restore this syncronization. I am even able to download iTunes purchases on my iPad, but given I live in South Africa and pay internet usage, I don't want to download data twice, I want to download on my computer and then sync my iPad with the USB connection.
Has someone encountered that problem and found a fix please ?

Sooooooo who else in the house has an apple id?! Try to authorize the computer with as many apple ids as you can, you can have more then one apple id authorized on one computer. so if your kids girlfriend, boyfriend who ever is in the house hold has an apple id it would be wise to authorize the computer with all of them,

  • HT4972 is there a way to tell which computer an ipad syncs with?

    I have tried to sync and update my ipad on my family's 3 different mac's, and i get a dialog box on each saying to sync with the computer you normally sync with.  i am pretty sure it is one of these three mac's.  Is there any way to tell which computer an ipad is syncing with?  Or how to tell which apps are backed up and will remain after the update?  thanks

    No.

  • Remove computer from iPad sync?

    How do you remove a computer that no longer exists from the iPad sync list in settings?

    The iPad is pretty smart, but not that smart.
    You need to manually transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with all other data from your old computer to your new computer such as documents, photos, etc.
    Follow the instructions included with this link for transferring your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer.

  • Computer to iPad sync issue

    I'm using PS Touch on my iPad with creative cloud.  If I create a project on the iPad, it syncs just fine and I'm able to pull it from the cloud on my MacBook Pro.  However, when I create a project on my MacBook and upload it to the cloud, it doesn't show up on the iPad.  I've tried many different filetypes (psd, jpg, png, etc) at very high and very low resolutions.  No matter what I try, files wont sync from the MacBook to the iPad.  However, if I create a folder on my MacBook in the browser, it shows up on the iPad immediately. 
    Any ideas?  I'm using PS Touch version 1.3
    Thanks so much!

  • How can I share iBooks authored by me using iBook Author on 2 different iPads synced to two different computors? Both iPads have different iTunes accounts.

    I am in the process of authoring an eBook using iBook Author.  The project is a work in progress and I want to share the draft with other collegues.  We each have our own iPads synced with other computers and we have different iTunes acounts.  I attempted to preview the book on the new iPad, but the iPad did not come up in the available device window.
    Am I missing something or is there a way around this?

    After having to get a new computer, I tunes repeatedly asks to authorize the computer to play/sync purchased music. However, ITunes is saying that the computer is already authorized. What do I do?

    You can transfer all the iTunes purchased music from the iPod Touch to your new computer.
    From iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer:
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod has your purchased content from the iTunes Store, you can transfer the content to a computer that is authorized for your Apple ID.
    Note: This option only works for content you purchased from the iTunes Store (as opposed to content from other sources, such as CDs you may have imported). For content you did not purchase from the iTunes Store, synchronization occurs in one direction only. This means your content can be copied from a computer to your iOS device, but cannot be copied from your device to a computer.
    Open iTunes.
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize Computer.
    In the dialog that appears, the Apple ID button is selected by default. If you have an AOL account, select AOL.
    Enter your Apple ID or AOL account and password. Then, click the Authorize button.
    Connect your device your computer. If it is synced with another iTunes library, the following may appear:
    If this alert appears, click Transfer Purchases.
    If you were not offered the option to transfer purchases:
    After connecting your device to the computer, its icon appears in iTunes. Click the icon.
    From the File menu, choose "Transfer Purchases from 'Your device name.'"

  • HT1386 When synching iPad to iMac, get a message saying I am not authorized to sync the iPad!

    Can't get iPad to recognize songs from computer.  Says I am not authorized to sync it.  songs are on the iPad but not bold, so can't play them.

    Launch iTunes. Click on Music under the Library Heading to get into your music library. Right click on one of the songs and select Get info. You will see the Apple ID with which the music was purchased in the lower right corner of the window.
    Obviously, this only works if the music was purchased from iTunes.

  • Recently getting "not authorized" to sync apps to computer

    For some reason I'm getting a "not authorized" to sync apps installed on my iPad to my computer. I've done it before, however, its not allowing me to sync now, even after I attempted to re-authorize with my correct account info.

    Fixed it by doubleclicking on the game in iTunes and authorizing it.

  • My iPad is not being recognized by the computer, therefore, cannot sync.  It charges when plugged to the wall, but not when pugged to iMac.

    My iPad is not being recognized by the computer, therefore, cannot sync.  It charges when plugged to the wall, but not when pugged to iMac.

    Most common culprits include the cable. Try swapping it out for a different one.. or not having the most recent version of itunes. I once even solved this problem by shutting down the computer for 2 minutes. (the longer the better), with the ipad plugged in. starting it up... then itunes recognizes it, launches, and syncs.
    Apple has a troubleshooting assistant on this topic:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/
    It will advise you to reboot. I recommend shutting down instead.
    --Sam
    P.S The ipad should charge when asleep and plugged into your Mac. The charging behavior is normal. There isn't enough power out the USB ports to charge the ipad while it is on on some older Macs and nearly all PCs.

  • Why is ITunes crashing when I try to sync photos from computer to Ipad?  I am using latest IOS 7.0.2 and latest ITunes 11.1.1.  Running Mac Pro with 10.6.8

    I Tunes crashes when I try to sync photos (via USB cable provided with Ipad)  from computer to Ipad.  It worked fine before I downloaded the newest ITunes update.  I tried downloading the update again but it still crashed.

    My iTunes keeps crashing when I try to sync my iPhone as well as when I try downloading the newest iPhone upgrade 2.2.1. I just tried to restore my iPhone and once again iTunes crashed (at around 224MB into the download of the upgrade).
    I've restarted my iPhone.
    Restarted my iMac.
    Re-installing iTunes.
    Tried installing iTunes 8.0.1 (instead of 8.0.2).
    Created a new user to check if that was the problem.
    All with no success.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • HT1212 forgotten passcode and I no longer have the computer I intially synced my ipad to itune with, how I restore my ipad

    forgotten passcode and I no longer have the computer I intially synced my ipad to itune with, how can I restore my ipad

    You will still need to connect it to a computer's iTunes to reset it, and you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode in order to be able to do so : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If it's not a computer that it's been synced to then do you have a backup on iCloud that you could then restore from ? Depending upon what country that you are in, and whether the items are still in the store, you may be able to re-download some/all of your purchases via the Purchased tabs in the iTunes and App Store apps, and the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app.
