Authorization blues. Please help

Hi I have a few macs. My latest is a macbook pro. Itunes works fine but I can't authorizr it to use the itunes store. According to me account info I have used 3 of my 5 authorizations but whenever I goto the Store menu and click authorize this computer is give me an 'Error -50 Has occured'. And I can't buy music or play music I have purchased.
Please help

Error -50 usually has to do with Firewall, Web Accellerator, or Anti-Virus software settings. This article should help you:

  • Authorization problem- please help!

    about a week ago i got a new hard drive installed because mine needed to be replaced for some reason or another. there wasnt a virus or anything. so before i got my new one put in, i brought my computer to a professional who backed all my music and other info onto cds, after the new harddrive was installed he transferred all the cds back onto my computer for me. my problem now is i cant play any of my purchased music. when i go to advanced-deauthorize computer, it says that this computer was not authorized, and to authorize the computer i need to play a song purchased on my account. so when i try this by clicking on one of my purchased songs, it says "you have already authorized more than 5 computers with this account, you must first deauthorize one of the other computers". im very confused, i never have used my itunes on any other computers, i read through the trouble shooting steps on itunes.com and i didnt realize i was supposed to deauthorize my computer before it was worked on, but i dont even know if this is what is causing the problem? all my other music is working fine other than my purchased music, and i have a lot of it, what can i do??? the thing is i dont have 5 computers authorized. when i went to do the deauthorize all under my account info screen it says i have "0 computers are authorized to use this" so there is no deauthorize all option! but when i actually try to authorize by clicking on a song in my purchased music folder, it says that there are 5. please help i dont know what to do!!

    hi b,
    i tried what u suggested and my purchased songs still wont play. when i click on them it says you arent authorized to play this, and i have to enter my email and password. however, im starting to forget which of my two email addresses i used to purchase those songs. is there a way to figure this out? when i use my school email account to authorize them, a box pops up that says "you have successfully authorized 2 out of ur 5 computers" but the songs still wont play. when i try to authorize with my hotmail account, it says that i have authorized all 5 computers and it also still wont play. in my account setting window, it says that there are no computers authorized to my account, which is based on my hotmail account right now i think. im really confused!!

  • "Amount you own" due to credit card failed authorization. Please help

    I was using a prepaid creditcard on my iTunes account but I didnt know it ran out, I downloaded Angry Bird Space HD from the app store after that and now I have a certain amount I own apple because it failed to authorize the prepaid credit card yet allowed me to install the app. I'm going to buy an iTunes gift card tonight, will that allow me to repay the amount due? Because I don't want to get banned or anything bad like that.
    Also if anyone else has had this happen to them before please tell me what you did. Thanks!

    Yes, just enter the new card details and click done when finished. It will then charge the new card for the amount owed.

  • Firefox crashing repeatedly out of the blue, please help

    Yesterday my FF started crashing repeatedly after cleaning my flash cache. It now is crashing on any site I visit, whether there is flash on there or not. My IE8 is also having to recover webpages but not as often as FF. I have well over 30 crashes since yesterday, I will list some of them here:
    XPCJSStackFrame::ToString(char**)
    nsCycleCollector::MarkRoots(GCGraphBuilder&)
    JSCompiler::~JSCompiler()
    js_GetGCThingTraceKind
    TraceRecorder::import(TreeInfo*, nanojit::LIns*, unsigned int, unsigned int, unsigned int, JSTraceType_*)
    These are just some of the signatures reported for my crashes, hopefully someone can help soon. I have never had a problem with FF until yesterday, hopefully this is an easy fix, and I am unsure why my IE8 is also crashing, but not as bad as FF.

  • Ipod Blues - Please Help !

    Ipod was working great until I tried using it as an external hard drive to copy my music files to my other computer. Since then, the following has happened:
    1. Ipod is not recognized when I attach it and launch Itunes. Sometimes, if I do it a couple of times, it works.
    2. Cannot run ipod updater even though I downloaded the latest versions of updater and itunes. I get the message "iPod manager internal error" all the time. I looked through all the resources to correct this such as restart and then try, etc. but nothing works. (I did remove the previous updater version from my computer, so not sure if that is the cause - if so, how do i get it back?).
    3. I did remove the files that I kept on the iPod for the external storage device and removed the check mark to enable this.
    What is going on ?!?!?!

    it sounds like it would be easiest to backup all you files and then format you ipod, a lot od trouble, but might be worth it

  • HT1420 I have followed the instructions but it does not give me the option to authoruize my computer on the menu..please help

    I am trying to authorize my computer, I have followed the on screen instructions but it does not give me the option to authorize.
    Please help!

    Always remember to 'de-authorize' you computer when selling or sending for service. If sending for repairs you might not get the same mother board or HD back and some how this counts as an authorized computer against your count.

  • My Macbook wont turn on, it gets pasted the White Apple screen then goes to a Blue screen that quickly turns a slightly darker shade of blue with the familiar loading icon then back again and does this over and over. What should I do? please help!

    So today my iPhone decides to go into recovery mode on me randomly so I  plugged it into my Macbook right away, but it wasn't showing up in iTunes so I did a quick internet search as to why that could be. On the Mac support forum I found instructions stating I should make sure I had the current verison of iTunes on my computer, turns out I had been putting off an Update because I didn't like waiting for it to restart n so forth. So I clicked my boucning update friend at the bottom of my screen and it started checking for updates, the bar got maybe a quarter of the way up and then stopped moving all together, I thought something was wrong so I clicked cancel and tried again. The same thing happened so I clicked cancel and went back to the Internet to find more help on my problems. I found yet another forum saying this solution was simple, restart the computer. So i clicked my little apple at the top and pressed restart and that has been the last thing I got to do on my computer because when it restarted it got past the White Apple logo screen and went on to a Blue screen which quickly turned a darker shade and had the loading circle, then back to the previous blue screen, then right back to the darker one. This process it repeated several times and I can't for the life of me figure out what to do. Please someone have a simple answer to this that I haven't Already tried, I have already tried safe mode and it just doesn't work for me. Please please help I need my computer for class it has all my notes and a paper I was doing, not to mention my iphone is still in recovery mode, even when I can get to another computer to fix that I need all the back up files off of my macbook to restore it to what I know it as and not default.

    Reset the PRAM
    Reinstall the operating system from the dvd (you will not loose your data)

  • PLease Help!! Leopard and Blue Screen

    I know there is a lot of discussion out there about a blue screen after installing Leopard. Well I had leopard installed and working for a while and then one day i started having issued where iTunes would lock up my MacBook and I would have to restart the MacBook because i could not stop it from "determining gap less playback" It would do it every time i plugged in my iPhone or my iPod. So everything was working great other than the iTunes issue. Then one night while my wife was using the MacBook it turned off on her so she proceeded to turn it back on only to have it boot up to a blue screen. Keep in mind we had been running Leopard for a few months this was not a brand new install. I purchased my MacBook used from a fried who did not provide me with the CD/DVD's to restore the MacBook since he lost them in his move. So I have searched far and wide trying to resolve this issue. I have booted into Single user mode and did the command prompt options...
    1. Reboot into single-user mode (hold Cmd-S while booting machine)
    2. Follow the directions OSX gives you when you get to the prompt (I think these were them - just type the two commands it tells you to):
    fsck -fy /
    /sbin/mount -uw /
    3. Remove the following files:
    rm -rf /Library/Preference Panes/Application Enhancer.prefpane
    rm -rf /Library/Frameworks/Application Enhancer.framework
    rm -rf /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/Application Enhancer.bundle
    rm -rf /Library/Preferences/com.unsanity.ape.plist
    4. Exit, to continue booting normally
    exit
    restart
    I have tried to boot the MacBook in safe mode with no luck. I think i have done everything i can. I called Apple support and was told that the MacBook is out of warranty by 408 days. Can i buy the restore CD/DVD? Is there something that I am missing? What am I not doing? Please help me???

    Does the Blue Screen happen after the Gray screen with the Apple logo and the spinning gear below it or when you turn on the computer you see the blue screen right away? You can try resetting the PRAM. Turn on the computer while holding the CommandOption+PR. These buttons will reboot your computer manually so let go after you saw the computer restart by itself. You also mentioned that you installed Leopard on your computer. So do you still have the Leopard install disk with you? If you do, boot from that disk. With the Leopard disk inside your optical drive, press the C key while turning it on. Once booted, try do repair the disk permissions and disk in Disk Utility.
    Hope this helps.

  • Please Help PI Data Dependent Integration Builder Authorizations NOT Workng

    Dear Friends / Experts,
    I had spend many days and explored all Weblog  and links on this website and implemented all the steps required to acheive Data Dependent Integration Builder Security and I am not successful so far. I am just giving up now - Please Help Me ---
    As I said, I already read all the important Forum Links and SAP Web links and Followed Each and Every Step - service.sap.com/instguidesNW04 ® Installation ® SAP XI
    Security Requirement - Data Dependent/Object Level Authorizations in XI / PI
    In distributed teams or in a shared PI environment it might be necessary to limit authorization for a developer or a group of developers to only one Software Component or objects within a Software Component or to specific Configuration Objects.
    Our Environment - PI 7.0 SP 16
    Created a new role in the Integration Builder Design
    u2013Add Object Types of any Software Component and Namespace
    - Enable usage of Integration Builder roles in Exchange Profile
    Integration Builder u2013Integration Builder RepositoryParameter com.sap.aii.util.server.auth.activation to true
    Assign users to the newly created Integration Builder roles
    u2013Create dummy roles in Web AS ABAP, these roles are then available as groups in Web AS Java
    u2013Assign users to these roles
    u2013Assign the Integration Builder roles to the above groups in Web AS Java
    u2013Assign unrestricted roles to Super Users
    Please help - How to validate whether Data Dependent Authorizations are Activated?
    I am working with XI Developers and Basis Team and we did updated all the Required Exchange profile parameters.
    Per this Document - User Authorizations in Integration Builder Tools - Do we need to update the server.lockauth.activation in Exchange Profile. When We updated, It removed Edit Access from all XI Developers in PI
    In both the Integration Repository and the Integration Directory, you can define more detailed authorizations that restrict access to design and configuration objects.
    In both tools, you define such authorizations by choosing Tools ® User Roles from the menu bar. The authorization for this menu option is provided by role SAP_XI_ADMINISTRATOR_J2EE. Of course, this role should only be granted to a very restricted number of administrators. To activate these more detailed authorizations, you must set exchange profile parameter com.sap.aii.ib.server.lockauth.activation to true.
    The access authorizations themselves can be defined at the object-type level only (possibly restricted by a selection path), where you can specify each access action either individually as Create, Modify, or Delete for each object type, or as an overall access granting all three access actions.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/f7/c2953fc405330ee10000000a114084/frameset.htm
    I was able to control display and maintain access from ABAP Roles, but completely failed to implement Integration Builder Security?
    Are there any ways to check Whether Data Dependent authorization or J2EE Authorizations are activated?
    Thanks a lot

    Hello,
    so to give you status of our issue.
    We were able to export missing business component .
    But we also exported some interfaces after that and we had some return code 8, due  to objects still present in change list on quality system (seems after previous failed transports , the change list was not cleared completley...).
    So now we have checked that no objects is present in the change list of quality system and we plan to export again our devs on quality system.
    Hope after that no more return code 8 during imports and all devs transported correctly on quality system.
    Also recommending to read that, which is pretty good.

  • I repaired a cracked iphone 5c screen now I have a black screen with a vertical blue line on the left hand side of the screen. please help!!

    Hi all,
    Please help, I repaired an iphone 5c and have now tried two different lcd screens on it but all I get is a black screen or a black screen with a vertical blue line on the left hand side of the screen. I definitely have the cables connected properly etc and before I repaired it the phone had a cracked screen and there was a picture on it.
    I have tried hard reset and nothing. I have tried connecting to iTunes but it asks me to confirm on the iPhone which I can't do as there is nothing on the display.  I have tried randomly pressing all over the screen but it doesn't work. So I can't even try restoring it on iTunes.
    Please help any advice will be appreciated! I successfully have repaired iphone 4's and iphone 5 before but this is the first iphone 5c.
    Thanks.

  • Blue screen error code. Please help.

    late 2008 version.
    Recently my school reinstalled windows 7 but after he did that, there was some blue screen error code which only appears while running on windows and everything is fine on the mac side.
    He reinstalled windows 7 again but the blue screen error code started again. He said that it could be that my apple disc is not original which caused the error code, however last year they were able to installed windows 7 without any issue. He also said that it could be the hard drive problem.
    Another problem I have is that while on windows the hard disk drives doesn't show the mac too.
    Please help! Much appreciated if any of you can help me out.

    Unless you run a VM such as Parallels, you're not going to be able to see your Mac disk using Boot Camp. If I were you, I'd see about getting Parallels Desktop and installing Windows 7 on it. You can then inter-operate with both systems.

    This one DMP file was inconclusive please run driver verifier to find the underlying cause
    Please run these tests to verify your memory and find which driver is causing the problem.  
    If you are overclocking (pushing the components beyond their design) you should revert to default at least until the crashing is solved. If you don't
    know what it is you probably are not overclocking.
    Since it is more likely to be a driver please run verifier first.
