Authorizing my computer windows 8.1
Having trouble authoring my computer which has windows 8.1
First, see if you can change the "Play audio using:" selection in Edit > Preferences > Playback - if you select Direct Audio rather than Windows Audio Session this may address the issue. Note, however, that the Direct Audio option seems to be unavailable in some cases for Windows 8.1.
Otherwise, there is an alternative downloader for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
that seems to address the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version (the alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer). The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
After installing this alternative version it may still be necessary to adjust the "Play audio using:" selection in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio.

I purchased a song on itunes and when I play it, it says my computer is not authorized. A window pops to authorize my computer so I type in my account info and hit authorize. After that a window pops up saying it is already authorized but still won't play. None of this happens with any other songs on my itunes. I would just purchase the song again but I can't because every time I try to purchase it, the song says "play" next to it instead of "buy." When I hit play no music plays it just goes back to saying my computer is not authorized so I authorize it and it says it is already authorized then I click it again and it says my computer is not authorized. It's a never ending annoying circle. How can I get the song to play?
If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music...
Delete the Song(s) and re-download...

I am unable to see my iPhone in the itunes window. I authorized the computer but it still will not show. Under devices it is not listed. Any suggestions?
You do see the devices heading on the left sidebar? If you don't see the sidebar, go to View>Show sidebar in the iTunes menu and then check to see if the device appears.
If that isn't the problem, go through the troubleshooting steps. It could be the Apple Mobile Device Service issue.

Even when I have try what seems to me like a hundred times it still wont work. Can someone give me especifique instruccions on what I can do?Did you install iTunes?
Once downlaoded, iTunes should have installed, and open once installed.
If its not open you can look for it in your Start Menu in Windows or Finder in Mac.

I tried to sync my iPhone to my macbook and got an error message. It said some of the items purchased on my iPhone could not be transferred to my iTines library because I am not authorized for them on this computer. I have followed the instructions and authorized my computer. I did this many times and I still have the same problem.
Can you tell us what text is in the part that you can read ?
Is it a message from Firefox or from the Mac Operating System ?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I'm having trouble sharing my Ipod list with my other computer. ( lap top) I authorized both computer's for home sharing but the list is not showing up on my laptop. My I pod is a second generation nano. So how do I get it to show up on my laptop?. Also I only have two computer's but it's authorized with 4, two were old computer's, how do I take them off the list without deauthorizing all 4 computer's,? Or do I have to deauthorize all 4 and then authorize the two I have now? my desk top pc is operating on vista, and my laptop is operating on 7. Does that make a difference? HELP! thank you.

I'm trying to transfer mu music that's not in my itunes library from my iphone 4. But I can't seem to figure it out I authorized my computer. But I am getting a new iphone so i want to put the music on my computer so when I get my new iphone I can transfer it back.
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer is based on you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

I'm trying to back up my iPad using my computer. But an error keeps coming up that says some apps could not be transferred. I've already authorized my computer but the iPad keeps saying that it's not. I've already clicked on "Store" and authorized it repeatedly. What's wrong?
Not sure if you were told what error 2009 is caused by so I'll let you know if you havn;t been informed. In the article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694 is says:
Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service. -
Authorizing a computer in iTunes
I find it easier to move around apps on the screen of my iPhone 6 Plus using iTunes.
Today, when I tried to do just that, I kept getting this error message:
The iPhone "my name iPhone 6 Plus" could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPhone.
As it instructs, I go to Store to "Authorize This Computer" & it says that it is already authorized - which I knew because I authorized this computer when I purchased it in January 2015. I am running Windows Pro 8.1
Using Google, I found the Apple Support document entitled "If iTunes repeatedly prompts you to authorize your computer".
I performed each separate step in the order listed.
After each step, I tried again in iTunes to move around my apps & apply the changes, but repeatedly got the same outcome.
I did update iTunes to the latest version just before I tried all of the above.
And, I also updated my iPhone 6 Plus to ios 8.3 just yesterday.
I know it must be something simple that I am missing, but just can't seem to figure what it is.Click on Store at the very top of the computer's screen.

Thanks for the question. Here is the information on how to authorize your computer to play iTunes Store purchases:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Authorize a computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12511
