Authorizations and Permissions Snafu with purchased songs

Recently purchased songs that were once authorized are no longer recognized as authorized. I can't reauthorize them because iTunes says it cannot store the information on my computer because the correct directory cannot be found or a permissions problem needs to be fixed.
What's up with this?
Plus it seems very difficult to actually contact Apple and I'm getting hot because I used to rely on their web mail and that seems totally out to lunch too.

First, could you please post the error message exactly as it appears?
You could try repairing permissions in Disk Utility. Also try navigating to the iTunes Music folder on your drive, Get Info and check your permissions. They should be Read and Write. And click on Details and make sure Read & Write is applied to ALL enclosed folders.

Is it possible to sync and share iTunes (specifically purchases,songs,playlists) with 2 computers having their own apple id? ,movies

Is it possible to sync, combine and share iTunes (specifically purchases,songs,playlists) with 2 computers having their own apple id?
I have been trying to find the answer to this for awhile now.

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

The music does not belong to you. You have no legal right to it and there is no way to keep it.
Sorry

Itunes states that my computer is not authorized to download an audio book I purchased from itunes. No problem with purchased songs however.

Hello susanserio
Try Deauthorize your account and then Authorize the account to see if any changes occur. Also there may a resolution in the second article that can be helpful as well.

No Update FMIOI and KBLP tables with purchase order

Hello,
We have un serious problem : No Update FMIOI and KBLP tables with purchase order
System : SAP ERP 6.0 /7.0 - EHP 4
Note 965633 was read.
1) First case: The purchase order 4510000673 does not reduce the funds reservation.
Purchase order 4510000673 should consume the funds reservation 1200000193 because all post of the PO charge the funds reservation 1200000193.But the consumption history of the funds reservation 1200000193 donu2019t show this consumption.
In table FMIOI, we do not have lines with amount type 0200 (reduction) but whe have the lines with the post of PO with amount type (0100). The Purchase order 4510000673 should consume the funds reservation 1200000193.
In table KBLP, the fields are :
Total amount (LC) - HWGES = 53.409,40
Amount used u2013 WTABB = 0,00
Reduction amount u2013 HWABB = 0,00
Open amount u2013 CWTFREE =    53.409,40
Reduced amount u2013 WTABG = 0,00
Reduced amount u2013HWABG = 0,00
To solve the problem, we executed the transactions : FM4N et FMN5 and the program RFFMRC20 but no result.
2) Second case : Delete a item of a purchase order does not release the budget
The single item of the purchase order 4510000597 is deleted but in the display of consumption History of the funds reservation 1200000137, the amount of the purchase order is not to zero.
To solve the problem, we executed the transactions : FM4N et FMN5 and the program RFFMRC20 but no result.
Somebody already had a similar problem ?
Thank you
Fabian

Hello Fabian
There are two known notes dealing with missing update on reference Earmarked Funds, I am listing them for future references:
1376800 Earmarked funds: Incorrect open amount
1438487 RFFMRC20: Missing KBLE records are ignored
These notes correct some errors within the Standard.
However, in your scenario, problem has to do with an incorrect execution of a Commit work inside a customer user-exit. After elimination of this commit work, new Po's are working correctly.
Remaining task is the correction of old PO's. Manual correction via small changes with ME22N (for instance, adding a '.' to the line item text/s) will force the correct update and fix your database
If you agree, we can close this thread (?)
Kind regards
Mar

Problems with purchased songs and iTunes 7.0.1

For some odd reason, I can't transfer purchased songs onto my ipod. They appear to be transferred, but I can't play them nor can I open them within iTunes. Is this an authorization issue? Has anyone had a similar problem?
TIA
-Chris

They appear to be transferred, but I can't play them nor can I open them within iTunes.
could you walk us through what happens when you try to play the songs in itunes, Chris?

Is anyone else having issues with purchased songs? I bought several songs and only 1:30 downloaded

Is anyone else having issues with purchased music from I tunes? Every song I recently purchased is only 1:30 long.

Not having any of those.

I have an old account with purchased songs in it,however I have a new account now which does not allow me to listen to this purchased music.I have tried changing the password but to no avail.Please help

The problem is I have an old account from an old I-pod which is now broken.Well the I-pod has been binned.I have a new i-pod and have a new user name.I have tried to access the songs i purchased yeateryear on my old device but and this is a but .....The new account will not allow me to access these older purchased songs. I cannot listen to them or burn them onto a cd.It throws up my old account user name in a window with a password request to access this material.I have changed my password several times however I still cannot access these purchased songs.

iPods (that are not iPod touch) are not directly linked to any "account." They are associated with your iTunes library. The account in iTunes is your Apple ID, which is used to purchase and download content from the iTunes Store. It lets the iTunes Store know who you are when you sign in.
Songs that are currently sold by the iTunes Store do not use DRM (copy protection). However, songs purchased during the earlier days of the iTunes Store do use DRM. If you have such songs that were purchased using a previous Apple ID (not your current Apple ID), you need to authorize your computer for that previous Apple ID.
Find one of the songs that does not play due to this problem. Right-click on it in any iTunes list, and select Get Info. On the song's Info window Summary tab, look for Apple ID. That is the Apple ID used to purchase this song.
From the iTunes menu bar, under Store, select Authorize This Computer. In the dialog window that appears, enter that Apple ID used to make the old song purchases (plus password). Do not enter your current Apple ID and password. Click Authorize.
The computer is now authorized for BOTH your old Apple ID and your current Apple ID.

Why can I not remove music and why are my purchased songs being duplicated each time I sync??

So I'm not sure if this is unique but I have a couple of things going on.
1st issue: I have a iphone 4s. Itunes on my desktop. Some music purchased from the desktop is on my iphone and I cannot remove it. I've checked "manually manage music". I've selected only the playlists I want. It will not delete the purchased music.
2nd issue: Each time I sync it pulls only the purchased music from my iphone and adds it to my music library. And each time it does that, it's adding another copy of the purchased songs into my music folder. I tried a variety of options, synced 7 times, and ended up with 7 copies of each purchased song. I've triedso many different things I'm thinking the only thing left is to do a reset. Or possibly reinstalling itunes completely. I've unchecked "copy files to itunes media folder when adding to library" and unchecked each of the songs from the library.Very frustrating!
Any suggestions would really be appreciated!

Thanks, randers4.
Unchecking the individual songs from the iTunes music library does indeed remove the songs from my iPhone. However, this is quite tedious given the number of albums I want to remove. Isn't this supposed to be easier done by "unchecking" the Genre or the specific Album using the Devices/My iPhone/Music tab?
Does this work for you (or anyone else)? My aim is to identify the most efficient method of doing this.
Thanks,
MLawson

Need authorization on other people's purchased songs

I have purchased songs that a friend has sent me, but now I cant play them cause i need to authorize them. how did this happen?
Since this person is actually an ex girlfriend now, how can I make sure the same thing happens to her computer?

Jason,
The only way to authorize a computer to play songs purchased from a given Apple Account is to enter the Apple ID and password for that account.

HT203167 Problems with purchased songs.

I purchased music from iTunes recently. Although some of my songs appear to have fully downloaded, many are only able to play parts of the song before they cut off and switch to the next song in the list. The software on my computer, iTunes, and iPod are all up to date and installed correctly. Please help.

Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player? If it does then it is an iTunes issue. If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt. If you believe it is corrupt:
If you are in a country where re-downloading is possible (iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085), delete the track (and the original file) and download again (Downloading [using iOS or computer] past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519). See tips on downloading in https://discussions.apple.com/message/19097773, especially unchecking the "Allow Simultaneous Downloads" box in the downloads tab of iTunes.
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.

Authorize and Capture Payments with BC?

Does anyone know if in BC you can have all charges set to authorized or be authorized and then process the charge
using the CRM tool once you know the final price and weight of the product?
We have a store that sells products by weight and we need to finalize the weight after the product has been ordered, hence authorize and then capture methods.
I know PayPal pro facilitates this, but does BC provide a way to do this in the system?

I am not too sure if this can be done since BC doesn't save credit card details from the customer and for this process to work they must have a copy of the credit card details in their server.
Why don't you use Get A Quote first then when you have calculated the exact weight add the shipping price to their orders and notify the customer that you are awaiting payment from their end.
I don't know if this will work for you. But that's my thoughts

HT1325 Problems with purchased songs and new computers

I have a new computer; my first mac. I am an apple convert, previously owning a toshiba. Some of the songs from an album I purchased through itunes will not play. What do I do? They have an ! with a circle around it next to them. I do not have a hardcopy or backup to revert back to. I just want to know how to be able to play these songs and listen to them as I have purchased the right to do so.

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be redownloaded in all countries) then you might be able to redownoad it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.
If it shows there but doesn't have the cloud symbol against it then try deleting it from the Music part of your library (where you are getting the exclamation mark) and it should then get the cloud symbol in Purchased for redownloading.
If music shows there but not that album then is it still in your country's store ? If it is then check to see if it's hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
If you aren't in a country where music can be redownloaded or if it'sno longer in your country's store then you won't be able to redownload it.
But you should be keeping and maintaining a backup copy of all of your downloads, an item can be removed from the store at any time - you are only guaranteed one download of each item.
