Can no longer authorise my computer. Get error -42408

I can no longer play my protected iTunes content, music or videos. When I try to authorise ( or de-authorise) I get the "Unknown error occurred -42408"
This would appear to be since upgrading to iTunes 9.0.3 this week.

Use the Deauthorize All function described in the article you asked this question from, or if that's not an option, the link to contact the iTunes Store staff.

Hi, I got my Mac in 2009 with photoshop elements on it - it's recently been wiped, however before the process we put Photoshop onto a hard drive, we then copied it back over and it no longer works, I'm getting error code 150:30 and I'm being asked for a password... any ideas how to get it working again?

You can never, never migrate an installed copy of PSE. It's just too complex and you can't get to all the bits and bobs.
First you will have to download and run this:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
which will not seem to do anything, but is necessary to break the links within PSE so that you can pitch the bits manually. Then you will have to go around, not only to applications, but also to your username>library>preferences and most importantly to the library at the top level of your hard drive>application support>adobe, and remove everything you can find. Spotlight will not help with this kind of search, so don't try that.
Then you can install PSE from scratch.

Can connect to iTunes, Safari, Google et etc. No issue with our wifi/network, we also have another iPad which fas no problem downloading apps.

Try syncing your iPad with your computer, that way it can update its version of iTunes.

I have the exact same issue. I can print one document and then I get the error mentionned above ("adobe creation cannot continue because acrobat is not activated"). Then I need to reboot in order to be able to print a new document.
I have suite and went to Photoshop as suggested, but this program is already activated. I tried to launch Acrobat Pro but it won't.
I'm using the Design and Web Premium CS6 Suite on Windows Vista.
Thank you so much for your help.

I can't install itunes for windows get error message 5

i can't install itunes for windows get error message 5

I've been having the same issues for the past year and a half. I've spent 6-8months trying to figure it out. Went to various Itunes stores with pictures on my Iphone per each step so I could relay all information that I'd come across and the personnel were less than helpful, after conversations that would sometimes last an hour between myself, employees and managers they always came back to "simply uninstall then reinstall" when I told them for the thousanth time that I've done that multiple times and my errors are happening while trying to reinstall it they act stumped and say "well then I'm not sure, I'll give you a call if I figure it out" and disappear. I've been very disatisfied at the lack of support from Apple and if Android to piece together a reletively reliable phone I'd switch to them in a heartbeat. I'll follow this question incase someone can answer this, but I don't have much faith.
BTW, wifey has Windows 7 running on the laptop and my phone syncs just fine to that and no trouble with itunes, just mine (desktop).

Just updated to itunes 12.1.0.71 - big problem - can no longer access the legacy "Get Info" where you could change multiple files, easily add artwork, add album name for TV show, and much more. In previous iTunes 12 you'd right click

Just updated to itunes 12.1.0.71 - big problem - can no longer access the legacy "Get Info" where you could change multiple files, easily add artwork, add album name for TV show, and much more. In previous iTunes 12 you'd right click and hold shift key and be able to get to it. Anyone figured this out?

The "legacy" metadata editors, for which there was a "back door" in iTunes 12.0, have gone from 12.1. However, the revised editors in 12.1 provide access to (almost) all the metadata elements that were available in iTunes 11, albeit in a different layout and with some additional constraints based on media kind. Some users have / will have an issue with the statement that "Get Info has been completely redesigned in iTunes 12 to focus your attention only on what’s necessary for the selected item" since that removes some metadata elements that people may have been using in creative ways. iTunes 12.1 basically gives you access to the fields that Apple think are necessary ... . Some of the things that have been excluded by this rule:
track and disc number fields for video media kinds
show and episode fields for music
description tab for audiobooks made up of more than one file
Obviously the first two examples can be regarded as "overloading" the metadata elements - i.e., using them in ways that the designers didn't intend - but given that some users do find valid cases for this it's a shame that they've been deprecated in the new UI. There are couple of workarounds:
in songs view (or any of the other columnar views), you can still select any fields to display, independent of media kind, and these can be edited (though only one at a time) by double-clicking in the relevant "cell"
you can (temporarily) change the media kind of an item (or group of items) to get access to metadata elements that would otherwise be inaccessible.
It may be worth submitting an issue via https://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html - I can't see it as a huge development task to have a user preference to switch between "show all fields" and "filter fields based on media kind".
One other oddity/irritation is that some of the tabs don't, by default, show all the available fields - you need to scroll up/down to access them or to expand the window by dragging on one of its corners. Fortunately, the latter seems to be persistent - once you've done this to make all the fields visible the editor will open at the same (larger) size when opened again.

Care to share which OS you are using?

Cant install Itunes on my work computer, get error message Apple Application support not found, so i uninstall and reinstall again and its the same message

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if AAS won't install normally.

Reverted to v10.7; getting error 42408

I used TimeMachine to revert from v11 to v10.7 iTunes is working fine, playlists, albums, etc. Except...at iTunes Store I'm getting 'an unknown error occurred (-42408)' when it first starts up and if I try to download, for instance, the free song of the week. I can play samples and browse the Store just fine. I also get error 42408 when I try to deauthorize/authorize this computer.
I've gone back a couple times in TM to an earlier iTunesLibrary.itl and tried 'previous iTunes Libraries' while in TM. I've also trashed com.apple.itunes.plist.
Any ideas appreciated...as opposed to ranting how you're going to switch over to the dark side.

Yes, those are in 'HD' as opposed to 'Home'. They are quite embedded and I don't think I want to mess with all that.
I did use Time Machine to restore:
Album Artwork/
iTunes Library Extras.itdb
iTunes Library Genius.itdb
iTunes Library.itl
Previous iTunes Libraries/
iTunes Music Library.xml
All to no avail. Still getting the error 42408 on Store startup and when I try to buy something.
Limnos...still using 10.4 huh? I must say that 10.6 is a great improvement. I haven't had to run Disk Utilities nor anything like TT Pro or Disk Warrior since going to it! How many years now? It's just very stable. And, I think most Macsters like iTunes 10 pretty well.
When I get the 10.6 Install Disc I might even do a System Restore; just get er done once and for all. 10.6 is so stable I've never had the need for something like Pacifist. Until iTunes 11 came along. On the other hand, seems like when iTunes 10 came out, there was an outcry too. But v11 is different; it's a complete overhaul. Actually, it seems many people like it; a few of us don't.
Thanks again.

Why do I get error -42408 when I tried to download my recent purchases?

Can someone tell me why do I get error -42408 when I tried to download my recent purchases?

See this document iTunes: "Error 42408" or "Error 42404" after ... - Support - Apple
Make sure you have upgraded to the latest iTunes version.

After the latest update of Itunes I can no longer use it. Windows Error 127 and restore Itunes is the message I get. Do I have to download it again fro m the Apps store?

Do I have to download Itunes again from the App Store after updating my original I can no longer use it.
Keep getting the error message Windows error 127, restore ITunes. This has not affected my IPad at all.
Hope someone can help.
thanks Jean

Hello Jean,
Based of what you have provided then I would say yes download iTunes from Apple’s website and also make sure that your version of Windows is up to date as well. Take a look at the article below to walk you through that plus some other steps necessary to get you back to using iTunes.
If you can't install or update iTunes for Windows
