Being asked to Authorize computer, and then get Error Message

Hi, I went to sync my ipod this morning and I got a message to authorize the computer. I haven't done any upgrades since the last time I did a sync, but I thought maybe there was a burp somewhere so I clicked authorize. I then recieved a message "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-42408). Try again later."
So I did, I tried it tonight (about 9 hours later) and got the same message. I logged into my account in iTunes and that worked, so I know I have the right password. I checked and I only have 3 computers authorized to play music, so even if I did add this one on top of that I should be fine. And there didn't seem to be any issues with purchasing things from the store.
Any ideas?

Hi hannijin,
What version of the Mac OS X do you have on your computer? The version of iTunes that you can install is dependent on the operating system that you have. For example, the current version of iTunes requires OS X version 10.7.5 or later.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

TS2830 Sync for IPod Touch quit working and I get error messages "a session could not be started" and "a connection could not be established" although the IPod appears in ITunes.

This is a new problem for an IPod Touch I have had for a year. The IPod is hooked up by cable and appears in ITunes. I can examine all the content on the IPOD and I can click "sync". It goes through to Step 7 and then the error messages occur. First "a session could not be started with the IPod" and when that dialogue box is closed, the message "a connection could not be established to the IPod."

New MacPro 10.9.4 included Keynote. Worked fine. An update was released August 21. Just downloaded the 6.2.2 update and now get error message "You can't open the application because PowerPC applications are no longer supported". Any ideas?

New MacPro 10.9.4 purchased three weeks ago included Keynote. App worked fine. New update for Keynote was released August 21. Just downloaded the 6.2.2 update. Tried to launch app and now get error message "You can’t open the application “Keynote.app” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." Confused as to why it worked prior to update. Nothing else has changed. No issues with recent iMovie, Pages or Numbers updates. Any ideas?

I tested this:
Reinstalled Aperture 3.1 from the Trial Installer.
In some way it seems to be working. But the whole thing is a scary Chimera.
It can create an Aperture library. I can import and edit images, even in Graphic Converter ias an external editor.
But the Media Browser does not show the aperture Library that I created.
The versioning is inconsistent. The library appears as an Aperture 3.4 library in the Finder. Aperture 3.5 seems to be able to read this library and to upgrade it to 3.5
The Applications folder is showing the application as version 3.4 and as compatible. Spotlight is showing it as illegal.
When opening the chimera Aperture, I see plenty of warnings in the Console window:
An Aperture "Hang" report
xpcproxy assertion failed
com.apple.IconServiceAgent: main failed to composite image
quicklookd: Warning
and more ... the hang was critical. I had to force quit Aperture more than once.
So be careful. I would not trust any important Aperture library to this patched application, without testing thoroughly. Be careful with your precious photos.

I use Firefox to access my college's website and my account there. Ever since I downloaded the new Firefox, I can't log in to my account at my college and I get error messages. What's wrong?

Ever since downloading the most recent firefox update, I have not been able to log in to my account at my college's website. I just get error messages every time. Even when I went to the Computer Sciences person at the college, he couldn't figure it out either. I need to be able to use Firefox to log in there because I have to download pdf files from there and Firefox is the only browser that seems to let me do that. But now that I can't even log in b/c of this stupid Firefox update, then its totally worthless to me.

Tried to upgrade to iOS 5 and keep getting error message 1611.

I plug in my iPad and try to upgrade to the new iOS 5 and it restored the iPad and now I'm getting error message 1611 and it won't even let me use my iPad right now, it's stuck at the start screen with the sync cord and iTunes logo... HELP...

I had a similar problem -- but found a simple fixe here.
All I had to do was move my USB cable from a port on the side of my computer monitor to a port on the computer itself.
Easy!
Funny thing is, the original setup worked fine when I upgraded my iPhone 4 earlier in the afternoon, and I've synched my iPad 2 using it hundreds of times. But it wouldn't do the upgrade for the iPad.
Hopefully it will work for you too, and others that may read this thread.

Do a clean (re)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

HT4623 While trying to sync my ipad, it became stuck in the recovery mode and I get error messages when I try to recover

While trying to sync my IPAD with ITUNES, my IPAD when into recovery mode and I keep getting error messages when I try to recover it.

What might these error messages say?

When I sync my iPad, I am asked to authorize my computer and then told it is already authorized and then asked to authorize again and then told it is already authorized and then told to authorize?

So that is the question.

Hey poetinny,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with iTunes Authorization when syncing your iPad. The following articles provide the most relevant troubleshooting:
