Authorization Error, iTunes 8

Recently I needed to reinstall my OSX 10.4.11. In doing so, my install disk made a "Previous System" folder where all my old files were kept. Now, when I try to play the music I've downloaded, I get this error message: "This computer is not authorized to play "Title of Song". Would you like to authorize it?"
When I try to authorize my computer I get this error message: "We could not complete your iTunes request. A required component is not installed (-42401). There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again."
Is there some iTunes preference in my saved files that I need to bring back into my new iTunes preferences?
Thanks,
Dan

I had exactly the same problem. It all started when I downloaded the lastest iTunes 8, but today when I clicked on my iTunes there was a later edition (8.1.1. (10)) that said it would fix any bugs. Downloaded it and everything is working fine now. Check for a software update.

ITunes Authorization Error

I've read all the posts about the authorization error when trying to place a song from iTunes into iMovie. I've tried all the suggestions on both my computers (G5 iMac & MacBook) with no success. All software is up to date and I reloaded iTunes 7.2 onto my MacBook. File Permissions have been updated numerous times and I've even zapped the PRAM.
I'm starting this thread to keep it up front in case Apple reads the posts. Anyone else having this problem, go ahead and post it to keep it alive until we get a solution.
I'm subscribed to all the related threads in hopes of a solution. So far, no joy.

I have had the exact same problems as stated. Repeated prompts to "authorize" use of iTunes both in the iMovie itself and again if iDVD is attempted. If the process was done(authorizing) for each song in DVD and the DVD burned, then some songs were placed in the soundtrack and others not. This also happens if I try to burn a DVD of an old movie project which had been done months agao and created and burned without problem. Some music purchased from iTunes store and others not. It doesn't seem to matter where the music comes from to get into the iTunes. The other prompt I've seen after reinstalling QuickTime 7.2 is that there was a "warning" about the project and that it should be fixed prior to burning DVD. The support people I've talked with have been very nice, but it seems that no one has a fix I'm aware of yet (8/1/07). Interestingly I have done a test movie in the last 48 hrs and the movie allowed song placement, editiing and saving project all OK. Playback on computer OK. DVD attempt and the warning appears, I did not attempt to go further.
As frustrated as the rest. Hopefull for fix soon. It used to work well only a few months ago. / Thanks and share fix if you get one

ITune Authorization Error

I just opened iTunes and tried listening to a song in my library. A window opened that said there was an authorization error (-42408) and I couldn't access any of my iTunes purchases. What's up with that?

I just got off the phone with 2 different Apple Care support folks. Here's what we did to get things running. Restart your computer. Reopen iTunes. Go to Store, then Deauthorize, and deauthorize your iTunes. Once you do that, go to Store again, Authorize, and authorize your iTunes again. Worked like a charm.
Hope this helps.

HT1338 What's going on with iCloud (MobileMe)? I'm able to sign in here, but I can't access mail on my Macbook Pro, iPhone, or work computer. I always get an authorization error (user-id or passwork wrong). This has been going on for almost a week now.

The single download means that you won't be able to redownload it from the store without paying, either on a computer's iTunes or an iOS device - it doesn't stop you from copying the audiobook to your other computers or syncing it to your iOS devices, you just can't redownload it. (I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them requiring the one-time download.)
You can download audiobooks on your computer's iTunes and sync them to iOS devices, you do not have to buy them directly on the device (if you do then you can copy them back to your computer's iTunes library by connecting the device and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option on your computer's iTunes).
What you are doing to sync them should work i.e.
- connecting the iPad to your Mac
- selecting the iPad on your Mac's iTunes
- selecting its Books tab and selecting the audiobooks that you want to sync to the iPad and syncing/applying that selection.
You should then get an audiobooks option in the Music app on your iPad. If they aren't appearing there then do they show in Settings > General > Usage > Music on the device - if you have audiobooks on the iPad then they should be listed there under an 'audiobooks' heading.
By 'restart the iPad' do you mean a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
You could also try closing its Music app via the iPad's taskbar : Force an app to close in iOS.
And do a soft-reset and retry syncing.
I assume that music and other items sync ok ?

I cannot authorize my iTunes account

Everytime I get onto itunes it asks me to authorize my itunes account. I enter my password and it says The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed. I cannot figure out how to fix this issue!

I am experiencing the same problem. I just received my computer back from mac cafe and they fixed all my hardware issues, now i cant get itunes to work correctly. I'm a DJ and itunes plays a huge roll in that and i DJ in 2 weeksPLEASE let me know if you find out anything!!!??!?!?!??!?!?

Error: iTunes requires a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support.

Yesterday, I upgraded to iTunes 9 x64 (running Windows 7). The installation went fine and iTunes seemed to be working great until I plugged in my iPhone. When I plug it in, rather than showing up under my devices, I get an error message popping up:
iTunes requires a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support. Please uninstall both Apple Mobile Device Support and iTunes, then install iTunes again.
( picture: http://imgur.com/HdJSx.png )
I have tried to uninstall the Apple Mobile Device Support with little success and tried running the repair for the iTunes install, but I still have failure. I am worried about losing all of my iTunes data if I uninstall - I recently switched over to a different OS installation and copied my iTunes config information (XML docs and stuff) - it kept my library intact, but sneakily reset my iPhone to a way old configuration and deleted most of my data from it.
So... (1) has anyone else run into this and overcome it, and (2) how can I follow the directions [uninstalling/reinstalling] without losing my data, computer authorization with iTunes, etc.?
Thanks

Ok, here is what seems to have worked for me. I was not able to uninstall AMDS from the control panel, because it was generating a fatal error. I then stopped all apple related services, and then did a repair installation. This allowed me to uninstall AMDS, but when I went to repair Itunes...it didn't reinstall AMDS.
I then uninstalled everything related to Apple, Itunes, Bonjour, Apple software update, Apple application support, the Iphone Configuration utility. I then installed Itunes 9 from the downloaded file, and it opened fine. I then connected my iphone and it synced fine as well. It's downloading the 3.1 firmware now and I will disconnect and reconnect once that is installed to make sure it's all still working.
Hopefully this works for the rest of you.
p.s. I didn't reboot at all during the uninstall of all services and reinstall.

Authorization error when syncing apps from iphone to mac, mac to iphone

I am having this error with both apps I've synced from my iPhone to my Mac, and one I purchased from ITunes (which as a side problem, I can not sync to my iPhone no matter what I try). I have one iTunes account and it is the same on my computer and on my iPhone. However, the one I bought on my mac I can't authorize on my computer, and I can't sync some back because I get this same error message (I have all the latest software on phone and Mac):
THERE WAS AN ERROR STORING YOUR AUTHORIZATION INFORMATION ON THIS COMPUTER
The required directory was not found or has a permission error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions can not be changed.
Is this just becuase these apps aren't made to USE on a computer? Because that would make sense. I'm just worried it has something to do with the app I purchased on ITunes not syncing back to my iPhone.

I created a new user on my macbook and tried to authorize the computer but got the same authorization error. This doesn't have to do with the fact that I have once used a different iTunes account? (not since I have had the iPhone. I have tried to figure out how to delete this but it looks as if apple doesn't want me to.) Plus, it's the same email as my dot mac which I've ALSO been having trouble with the past few months-- it keeps resetting on its own and my keychain and iphone can't get into it. online chat has not solved the problem so i decided to just let it expire...
Ive been using a mac for 15 years and have never had as many problems as i've had these past few months.

Authorization error while attaching document in ME22N

Hi,
Scenario 1: I attach a document in ME22N and then save it. Result: I get an authorization error.
Error is: "You have no authorization for extensions (activity03)"
Scenario 2: I just make a change (say in price) without attaching any document and then when i try to save it. Result: There is no authorization error.
Message (output) type in both the cases is EDI.
On further investigation, we found the authority-check abap statement which is responsible for throwing the error.
authority-check           object authority_obj_edi_deftool
            id 'EDI_TCD' field authority_tcode_edi_deftool
            id 'ACTVT'    field pi_activity
            id 'EDI_DOC' DUMMY
            id 'EDI_CIM' field pi_cimtyp.
This statement gets executed for both the scenarios and with the SAME variables but it throws error in case of scenario 1 only.
Following are the values of the variables in BOTH cases:
authority_obj_edi_deftool = S_IDOCEFT
authority_tcode_edi_deftool = WE30
pi_activity = 03
pi_cimtyp = Z2ORDERS02
Any help is appreciated.

Authorization Error on Peoplesoft Login Page

Hi, this is related to the previous project we are still working on.
Invoking a Java Method from Peoplecode
While we have found that our approach have been successful in Dev and Test Environments, once we migrated the changes to Production, it seem to have stoppped working. Our client wants to test the link from Test Environment and would Single Sign On to the Production environment. But we are getting this eror, Authorization Error -- Contact your Security Administrator on the Peoplesoft login page when the link is clicked from the Third Party website.
The node setup for Dev, Test and Prod environments under Node Definitions are using PSFT_CR as the default local node and are all working when ping'ed. The defaut user that is used for allowing public access in the Web Profile are setup'ed just the same in all three environments, and application/web servers have been restarted as well.
One thing we noticed is that the url of the third party website is http and the url for the PS prod is https. Could this be the one causing the error, or have we missed something on the setup.
Again, we appreciate your insights regarding this.

Log SSP and Authorization Errors

I asked for this on the feature request website
"It seems that apex does not log SSP errors or Authorization errors, or if it does, they are no available in an apex view. For example, if a user changes the page number in the url to a page he is not authorized to see, an error page is dispalyed, telling him that he cannot see this page. As far as I can tell, this error is not logged in the apex views. Same goes for, when a user tries to change an id in the url."
My item was closed with the comments
"The error messages are logged into the activity log if activity logging is enabled for your application. Have a look at the column ERROR_MESSAGE in the view APEX_WORKSPACE_ACTIVITY_LOG. "
Well I tested it again.
I went to a page and changed the item_id and I received the checksum violation message.
I then did a select * FROM APEX_WORKSPACE_ACTIVITY_LOG and looked for the error message.
There was no error message.
Can someone else try this
Gus

Hi Gus,
I just have setup another test at apex.oracle.com
workspace: patricks_test
user: guest
pwd: 123456
1) Run application 24683 and login as guest/123456
2) If you click "Customers" you will get the authorization error
3) If you click "Products" and then pick a product to navigate to page 6 and afterwards modify the value of P6_PRODUCT_ID you will get the checksum error
4) In the Builder navigate to Administration -> Monitor Activity -> By Application -> 24683 and you will see the entries of APEX_WORKSPACE_ACTIVITY_LOG
When you did the query on APEX_WORKSPACE_ACTIVITY_LOG, did you verify that your app is writing activity logs at all? And second, have you connected with the parsing user of your application?
