Apparently, this issue is a common one.  I have also tried importing songs from an iTunes on an old pc I no longer use.  I am still prompted to authorize my computer when I attempt to play 100 different songs.  After entering my password, I receive the message that the computer is already authorized.  How can I resolve this issue?  I previously contacted Apple and they were unable to assist me in resolving the issue.

    Hi Kevin,
    Have you authorized the Computer to your Apple ID?
    If not, sign on to iTunes.
    Then got to the Store menu option at the top of the screen (CTL+B if it is not showing), and click on it to display the dropdown, and select Authorize this computer.
    If that doesn't work, then sign on your Dad's iTunes ID and repeat the Authorization process.
    Cheers,

  • HT3669 I have an Epsom 1250 photo scanner that will not work with my new iMac.  I get an error report indicating 'scanner ot available' and the indicator light on the scanner goes to red.

    When I try to use the scanner I get error message 'scanner not available' and the scanner indicator goes red .  I have contacted Epsom who advised me to run System update on my Mac several times which I havedone to no avail.  The scanner is in working order as it works satifactorily with my 'Windows' laptop.  The scanner is listed as being included in the driver updates but It would appear that the driver on my iMac supplied  in any update is not suitable.
    I am currently running OSX 10.8.4
    What steps should I now persue to be able to use the scanner?
    Alan.

    Howdy Susiesdad,
    I would suggest the troubleshooting steps from this article named Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
    Don't let the name throw you off, the troubleshooting is relevant for scanners as well.
    Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
    Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
    Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
    Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
    Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
    Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
    If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    All the best,
    Sterling

    Try restoring from backup. Next would be a restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • I live in the UK but visit the US regularly. The price of a new MacBook Pro is much less in the US, and is where I plan to buy one. However, I have read that a US machine will not play UK DVD's. Is this true and if so is it possible to change the codes?

    I live in the UK but visit the US regularly. I plan to buy a MacBookPro in the US but have read that it will not play UK DVD's. Is this so? If so, is it possible to change the codes?

    All modern & new Macs can play both PAL and NTSC DVDs.  I do it all the time and it works perfectly.
    The DVD drive is set to its first region code when you first play a DVD in it.  So when you buy a Mac, whatever type of DVD you play first will determine the initial region code that is set.   If it's a PAL/Region 2 DVD it will set the DVD drive to region 2.
    The only thing you have to watch out for is if you have a collection of DVDs that have different region codes.  In those cases you may be faced with changing the region code in the DVD drive in order to play one or more of the DVDs; and as others have noted there is a limit to the number of times you can change the region code (most modern DVD drives allow up to 5 changes; the 5th change becomes the permanent change).  This is due to industry licensing practices.
    If you have DVDs that are Region 0 or All Regions you don't have to worry about region codes.

  • Treo 700p will not synchonize with my new computer.

     I recently purchased a new computer and the Treo won't sync with it.  After searching whatever I could on the web I found out that I can't sync because Outlook 2007 is not configured with work with this model and the treo was synced on my former computer. 
    How do I synchronize when the old computer is not available?  The directions tell me to sync on the old computer and then check sync with multiple computers.  I can't do this.  I downloaded a trial of Pocket Mirror and that won't work for the same reason.
    Thank you for your helo.

    What is the OS of your new computer?
    If the OS of your computer is windows vista 32 bit then you need to download the pds 6.2 from the website.
    if the OS of the computer is xp pro or home, you need to install the outlook 2007 conduit upadter to be able to sync to outlook 2007.
    but first we have to take a look what is the problem why you can't perform a HS. is it establishing a connection? or it would sync but hangs/freezes on a particular application? or it would sync but no data is transferred.

  • IDVD burns disc but they will not play back on same computer

    Prior to this latest update of iDVD, I had ZERO problems with burned iDVDs. Now I can create and burn a disc in iDVD 6.0.3 but my computer refuses to recognize it as a playable disc. I put it in the drive and it spins and spins and after around 10 mins a screen pops up and says that it is a blank. But when I play it on a standard DVD player, it works fine. I recently updated Quicktime to the latest version. Something is wrong. Ah, for the days when you could call Apple about anything and they had the highest rated tech support in the world, now it can be really tough to get an answer. Can anyone give me some thoughts? Thanks, Reed

    I have the same problem. iDVD disks that I burn on my G5 will play on G4's, my PC, and all consumer DVD players that I have tried them in. But they will not play on my G5 that created them, and they never have. The disk just spins for a few seconds and then ejects. It never gets recognized and never mounts. There is no error message. I regularly distribute my DVD's to 20+ people, and the disks play on all of their players, though I don't know if anyone tried to play one of my DVD's in a G5.
    I use DVD-R disks, and have tried burning at slower speeds (4x)from a disk image using Disk Utility, but the disk still won't play on my G5. On the other hand, my G5 will play iDVD disks that I have burned on a G4, and it will play commercial DVD disks.
    I have seen posts from other users who have complained about this problem. I have never seen a fix or a suggested solution that worked. It would be great if you have seen something on this, or have some suggestions, that might lead to a resolution. Otherwise, I can live with it.

  • Older itunes purchases will not play on newly authorized computer...

    before i got an apple id i was using my aol account for my itues account id.  eventually got an apple id which i've used to make purchases over the last couple of years.  just got a new computer and the songs i purchased with my old aol itunes id will not play on the new computer.  when i try to authorize the song using my current apple id it says my computer is already authorized to play the song.  any ideas?

    I meant to mention that I bought a new song from iTunes since getting the new iPod hooked up as a 'test' and it will not play either. I thought possibly the older purchases were associated with the other player...
    Thanks

  • HT204406 I recently uploaded a live recording to match. Plays when I listen in "recently added" playlist, but will not play in a new playlist "ineligible" cloud symbol appears

    I recently uploaded a live recording to match and it appears (and plays) under "recently added" on the left menu. When I create a new playlist for this music it won't play and has the "ineligible" cloud symbol with slash through it. It must be in the cloud as it's playing now, but the content will not play if moved from "recently added" into a playlist. I'm puzzled. Any help?
    Bit rate is 192 kbps
    it is an mpeg file
    Thanks in advance!

    I just went back and used Tunesify to convert from mp3 to aac format and it's working now. I've added over 20K to my match library and this is the 1st time something like thas has happened.

  • Random songs in my music library will not play with an error message "computer does not have access rights" but this is not true. I do, and when I re-type the password, it tells me I already have access rights.  How do I fix this?

    When I try to play songs from itunes, I get an error message that my computer is not authorized.  My songs have all played in the past.  This is something new.  I verified my computer is authorized, and when I try to re-enter the password, it tells me that I am already authorized.  Makes no sense at all.  It's an endless circle.  Also, my shuffle will not sync due to access rights denied.  I did nothing new, I always take the updates.  My shuffle and compter are the same, no changes.  Everything is verified in my itunes account.  For some reason, it is blocking me from half of my music.  Help!

    It's an endless circle.

  • HT201413 how do i test a port on my windows 7 computer? i followed the steps in this article, but the command prompt said that "telnet" is not a valid command.

    So I havent been able to connect to the iTunes store since June. It's getting a tad annoying. I followed all of the troubleshooting steps that i could find, and I am currently on the last one, which involves making sure that the ports that iTunes needs to function are open on my computer. I followed the article that was telling me how to do this, found my ip address, and was on the step where you actually check the port. I was told to use the command telnet, but when i did, the command prompt told me that " 'telnet' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file." So, I seem to be stuck. If someone could enlighten me on how to actually check if a port is open, or how to fix error code 11222, please let me know.

    Windows 7 may need telnet installed, as mentioned in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771275(v=ws.10).aspx
    I think 11222 is actually support.apple.com/kb/TS4123. Is that what you see?
    I'm guessing you have one of the programs listed there and updating it may resolve.
    Tricky bit is some software is bundled with other software - like RealPlayer Plus bundles Speedbit.
    I hope that helps.

  • IPod touch will not Sync to my new Computer

    Recently I have got a new computer, and when I upgraded to Windows 7 decided to move my music from my laptop to the new computer.
    After transferring all my music to my new computer, I then plugged in my iPod, and tried to Sync it to this. First of all it said it was synced to another computer, and asked if I wanted to transfer purchases across. After selecting this option, after 20secs it failed with an unknown error, and same when I repeated this a couple more times.
    So I decided to restored the iPod using the 'Restore' option in iTunes. After this was completed and the iPod was like new, I tried to sync again, and every time i try this, it comes up with various unknown errors to do with missing files, and just inability to sync, so I'm stuck without any music on it.
    Has anyone got any suggestions before I resort to going to an Apple store, as it's over a 2 hour journey away.
    Ps, I'm on Windows 7 64-bit, ask if want anymore details about my system if that will help
    Thanks in advance,

    The Motherboard is Gigabyte P55-UD3
    That's perfect, thanks Dom. The P55 chipsets are associated with iPhone/iTouch syncing errors on Windows 7 systems ... -6999, 0xE0000065 and "disk could not be read or written to" are probably the most common. So I think we'd better get those issues off the table first.
    A number of Gigabyte-motherboard owners are reporting relief via BIOS updates (although I don't have a good feel at this stage which of the particular boards have available updates that help with this set of problems). So the first thing to do would be to head to Gigabyte to check to see if they have newer versions of the BIOS, and/or newer versions of the chipset drivers available for your UD3:

    If no joy there, another workaround that has been helping for people is the BIOS configuaration change described in the following post:
