Authorizing Audible over and over again

I got a new iMac last week, and Migration Assistant seemed to work great to get me up and running from a Time Machine backup from my old iMac. I only have one issue - every time I sync my iPod, I get a message that not all my Audible files were copied to my iPod because they aren't authorized to be played on this computer. I'll deauthorize my Audible account in iTunes (Advanced, Deauthorize Audible Account), then reauthorize when prompted to when I attempt to play an audiobook. The audio book will then sync to my Touch. Then I'll have to repeat the entire process the next time I sync.
I saw a tip to deauthorize, then restart, then authorize - that didn't help. I also saw one to follow the process while logged in to an administrator account. I did deauthorize as an administrator, but don't have any Audible content in the admin's library, so I reauthorized as my usual user account.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Faye

I ran into the same problem, the audible rep (very helpful when you call the 800#) had do these steps:
1. Check permissions on /Library/Preferences
a. right click or control-click then /Library/Preferences file
b. select "Get Info"
c. click the triangle in front of "Sharing & Permissions:" on the window that pops up
d. Make sure it says "You can read and write"
e. if it doesn't say that - check if your account is listed as an "Administrator"
2. Close iTunes
3. assuming all of the above is fine - delete the following file: /Library/Preferences/com.audible.data.plist
4. Open iTunes
5. Play an audible book (it will ask you to sign in)
6. Close iTunes
7. Open iTunes
8. Play an audible book - It should NOT ask you to sign in

  • This computer is no longer authorized message over and over- please help

    got a new laptop, tried to sync ipod touch and got message "this computer is no longer authorized".  when I hit authorize my husbands email comes up, rather than mine, it is his old itouch.  when I type in my email and password and hit authorize it says this computer is already authorized.  when I hit ok, it all starts over again......... "this computer is no longer authorized".  HELP!!!! what do I do?

    It's probably because you are trying to sync apps or songs that were downloaded with your Husbands account.  If you right click (Windows) or Control+click (Mac) and select Get Info it will display what acount it was downloaded under.
    If it was downloaded with your Husbands Apple ID, you won't be able to sync it to your device without entering his password.

  • I try to sinc. first i get "computers not authorized, would you like to authorize. I do that then it tells me its already authorized.  enter and it starts over.

    also you can:
    To deauthorize all computers associated with your account
    Click iTunes Store in the Source pane.
    If you’re not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
    Click the Account button again (your ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
    In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
    After that start from scratch

  • TS1389 Only one song won't play after authorizing my computer. I authorized it over and over. I even deauthorized all computers, and still same results. How can I fix this ? I'm using a MacBook Pro with iTunes 11

    Hi Deb,
    Deauthorizing all is definitely the way to go.  You will just need to authorize your computer again after, as well as your husband's.
    Here's some additional information on deauthorizing all:

  • My iPod Touch is running on ios 7. In the last two and a half months all the apps of my iPod have been wiped out twice. I had to download all the apps all over again. Why is this happening?

    My iPod Touch is running on ios 7. In the last two and a half all the apps of my iPod have been suddenly wiped out twice. I had to download all the apps all over again. Why has it happened?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Every time I want to log in to my Hotmail account I have to type my password over again, and every time I log in I try to save my password. I have tried hundreds of times, but it seems impossible. What am I doing wrong?

    When A person want to log in to a hotmail account to read or send an E-mail, one have to enter the e-mail adress and password. There is also a small square you can mark i you want Firefox to save your password so that you don't have to enter password every time you log in to the e-mail account (in this case hotmail)
    Every time I log in to hotmail I mark the square so that Frefox will save my password, but my password has never been saved. I'm so tired of always having to enter my password, over and over again.
    What do I do wrong? How can I solve tis problem?

  • I have a current iPhone 5 with all my apps and games at certain levels, how do I use iCloud to transfer current game levels as only a few games have transferred and other games want me to start all over again on my new iPad?

    I currently have an iPhone 5 that I play games on regularly and I have just bought the iPad 4 and I want to transfer all my game progress from the iPhone to the iPad. I have turned on iCloud on both devices and backed up and while all my games transfer only some of the games maintain progress where others want me to start all over again. I pretty sure I doing something wrong... Can some help or give me idiot proof guidance on how do do this successfully. I'm generally pretty tech savvy but this has me stumped and iCloud is ment to be easy to use.

    I would not be able to give you idiot proof guide, since different games are different. Some of them have icloud integrated already, but those already taken care of. Some of them use specific logins and once you log - you get your info. General recommendation is to contact support sites of those games for enabling icloud instructions or enabling of transfer. There are other purely apple ways - like sync your phone in itunes and then sync apps with ipad, but those are only one time transfer. There is another way that is not typically recommended - restoring ipad from iphone backup. It may transfer your game content, but once again sync in the future has to be done by game.
    So if I were you, I would address that individually with every game provider.

  • Can't find printer over and over again

    Every time I try to print, I have to use the Wireless Setup Wizard AGAIN and type in my network password AGAIN until my computer finds my printer AGAIN.  Then I can print.... until I can't AGAIN and I have to do all this AGAIN.  This has become a royal pain.  I can only print consecutively IF it is still printing while I send it the next thing to print.  If my printer is finished printing one page, and then a minute later I send it something else to print, the computer can no longer find the printer so I do all these steps over again.
    I'm on a Mac that is about a year old, if that, runniong Mac OS 10.9.5 .  My HP 7520 used to print with no issues when I got it a few months ago.  I don't think I was running 10.9 at the time, or at least not 10.9.5 .  At some point I upgraded my OS so I wonder if that's when the problem started - but I don't know for sure.  Another issue is that my ipad can no longer find my printer, either, so I can no longer use Air Print to print from that device directly.
    Please give me the steps to correct this once and for all.  This is my third HP and I'm starting to regret this purchase.
    Thank you.

    Hello ctphd ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with the printer keeping a wireless connection to the Mac.
    I do have few suggestions that we can try.
    First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    I have also located a document that deals with when the Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
    Try these steps first and if you are still having an issue, write me back and I will be happy to assist further.
    Cheers,

  • HT1977 My Computer crashed so I have had to download iTunes all over again. The problem is now I can't sync my Apps to my iTunes. It doesn't let me arrange them or anything when plugging my iPad in. The screen is greylike and won't let me select anything

    Hi Guys,
    My computer crashed and I lost everything. I got a new one and downloaded itunes all over again. When I plug my ipad in even after authorising my computer it will still not let me edit anything on the ipad. The screen is grey like on the ipad section and i cant select an app or anything. I have transfered purchase apps but all it does is take movies and tv shows accross. It wont transfer the apps into itunes. Please help

    As far as I know, iTunes will still not change anything until you click on Apply in the lower right corner. I fiddle with my settings all the time - just so I can get a sense if what to expect should I make any changes - and I have never seen anything happen to my configuration unless I click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes. Not only that - you have turned off auto sync so as far as I know you still have to click on sync or apply in order for the iPad to sync with iTunes.
    That doesn't mean it will not happen, I've never seen it happen - is all that I'm saying. I'm sorry but I'm not sure what will happen, but the only reason that I can of why the apps will not transfer is because of the manual manage setting. I could be wrong about that as well.
    Look at this discussion - which I have referred quite a few users to read. I know this process has worked for a number of people that have read it and used the instructions in it. Maybe we are missing something - what that would be - I'm not quite sure, but take a look.

  • When i plug the USB for my iPad into my computer it will connect then disconnect over and over again untill i wiggle the usb around alot. This is happening to all my ports. But not on the other computer.

    Hi. Whenever i plug my iPad (Happens with ipod and iphone too) to my computer usb for itunes is will connect, then disconnect over and over again. It has happened for a long time but doesnt happen on my other computer. how do i fix this?

    If you have a spare cable, try using that.  But the fact that this doesn't happen on your other computer (I assume using the same old cable) leads me to conclude that something else is at work.  Maybe even the "bad" computer.

  • Data acquisition time not continuous, but starting over and over again

    Hi,
    My data acquisition time is not continuous but loops over and over
    again.  Could someone please take a look at my vi to see if you
    have any thoughts on how to fix this.  Also, I tried to set up my
    vi so that I could take the mean of the signal at any time I
    choose.  However, at the same instance that the data acquistion
    time "starts over" again, the mean is calculated (before I trigger it to take the mean)
    I have attached my vi and my output file as a text file so that what
    I'm trying to say will (hopefully) make a bit more sense. 
    Thanks for your help in advance!

    Hi,
    Thanks for responding to my question. Attached is the vi with added
    comments as to what I think I am doing.  By DAQ time, I mean the
    first column of data that is in the data file that I attached
    previously.  I am only simulating a signal (at the beginning) so
    that I can program in my office.  I do, however, have the same
    problem as stated above when I change the simulate signal to DAQmx
    using my instrument.
    I hope this clearer.  If not, I'll try again. 
    Thanks so much!

    Try removing and then reinstalling the Apple software using these instructions.
