Can play music in itunes and on ipod in imovie says not authorized

Hi I have purchased several songs in itunes and when I attempt to add them to movies in imovie it says that the computer is not authorized. I authorize the computer and itunes states it was successful return to imovie and then get the same message. I have deauthorized and reauthorized the computer and still no luck.
Any thoughts?

Yes, I have this problem as well. I have synced and re-synced an entire library three times now (which is not easy when you have almost 10k tracks to upload) and the same issue occurs on some tracks, but not others. I can't really see a commonality amongst the files to figure out why the ipod won't play the songs. They play fine on Itunes and when the unit itself is hooked up to my computer, but not if you are just listening to it from the Ipod. Strange...hope somebody can answer this question soon...the problem is really irritating.

  • Playing music in iTunes off my iPod Touch G1

    Hey everyone,
    I am fairly sure I could do this with my old 30GB Video iPod but can't seem to do it with my new Touch. Basically I want to be able to play music within iTunes from my iPod not my library. I have music uploaded to my iPod and can play it over the headphones but when I plug it into iTunes it seems that all the music is there but grayed out and can't be played directly off the iPod but using my computer (iTunes) as the external speakers (Does that make sense?). Any ideas or anything I can do to make this work?

    I don't ever remember being able to do this with earlier versions of iTunes and my iPod classic 80GB. I believe that playing the music from your computer is your only option (and you can plug your headphones into your computer if you don't want to listen to it through your speakers).

  • Some videos are not showing in Apple TV playlist after upgrade to 6.0.  Can play on Macbook itunes and using airplay to Apple TV.  Anybody else have this issue?

    Some videos are not showing in my Apple TV playlists after upgrade to 6.0.  They were there prior to upgrade and I can play on Macbook itunes and also using using airplay to Apple TV.  Anybody else have this issue?

    Ok, so I'll try again.  Thank you for the idea of looking in Home Videos, which is where all my "lost" videos are listed.
    Is there a way to get them to display under their appropriate genre in the Movie section, which is where they all were listed prior to the os6 update?  It does me no good to have hundreds of movies categorized in iTunes via a genre only to have them appear in Home Videos on ATV.  These are not "home movies." They are legit mp4 movies that worked great under v5.

  • Some music on iTunes (and on iPod) no longer plays

    Hello All,
    I recently restored my entire music library from my iPod to my freshly formatted computer.
    I used CopyTran to perform the operation (http://www.copytrans.net ) - it seemed to work well.
    I then noticed some tracks on my computer do not play and promptly skip to the next track...what do you think is the problem?
    The problem occurs on my iPod. In both cases no error messages are displayed.
    My iTunes music library consists of 4004 tracks - so far i've spotted 17 tracks with this problem.
    Am I able to:
    Easily determine what other tracks have this problem?
    Replace the "corrupted" track and keep existing meta data? -
    This is so I don't have recopy the whole CD. If I import a single track from an album, iTunes does not group the previous ripped album tracks with the new/replaced individual track.
    Please help, this is so annoying
    Matthew

    Resync the phone in iTunes on the computer. This happens ocassionaly and is normally corrected by resyncing. If you cannot find the purchased music, you can always transfer purchases with the iPhone connected to iTunes.

  • I left my 6th Gen nano in the washer and its been 2 weeks since i touched it. when i connect it to my itunes it appears and i can play music from itunes but after another week of leaving it out it just flashes when i plus it in and doesnt not connect

    Unfortunately, Apple's warranty does not cover user accidental damage.  The cost of the repairs is on you.

    If you mess up, your normal warranty and Apple Care will be voided.  So be very careful if you attempt your own repairs.

  • No sound coming from my iMac, can't play music in iTunes and can't watch videos.

    Im going to explain everthing from the beginning so people bear with me. Last night i turned on my computer to watch some old footage i have.It wouldnt play,then when i tried to open the file this message poped up ( documents could not open unknown error -101). Then i went to play some audio tracks i create, they also wouldnt play for some reason. When i tried to open that file the same message popped up.So then i went into itunes to play the same track it still no sound. Not only was there no sound in itunes, but it wouldnt play at all. So im thinking maybe i need some updates, so i checked for that. I had two up dates, i installed them.Then i restarted my computer everything was working fine now. Now this mourning i turned on my computer again, the samething is happening all over again. I went into system preference to check my sounds everything seems to be in order, except the mute box is checked and it wont let me uncheck it. Also when i hit the sound key on the keyboard, the sound is all the way up but there is a circle with a line going threw the middle of it.I cant adjust the sound at all. I also tried to go into disk utility to see if i needed some kind of repairs that didnt work. I would appreciate it if someone can give me some advice to correct my problem, i am in desperate need. Thankyou in advance.

    Hi,
    I just updated to version 7, and many of the songs I downloaded previously now have an exclamation point next to the checkbox. What does this mean? When I click on one of the songs to play it, it states the song cannot be used because the original file cannot be found. Would you like to locate it? When I type in the name of the song, I don't get anything. Can you please help?

    The iOS update made the iPod less tolerent of marginal/fake Lightning cables. All you can do is get a certified Lightning cable. I would get a genuine Apple cable.

  • Ipad seems to have glitch when playing music in itunes and other music apps

    When using the generic music player on my ipad it often freezes for upto 20seconds when i wish to play another song.  this usually happens when i try to change track while the previous song is still playing.
    Will there be a fix for this?

    Hello TheDonsCheek,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with the audio when nothing is playing in iTunes on your MacBook Pro. I recommend reviewing the following article to see if any third-party plug-ins could be causing the problem:

  • I ordered several downloads on iTunes and one of the song says I authorized on 5 computers and that is false. How do you get the song to play?

    iTunes
    How do you get a download to play if the song says you have downloaded it on 5 computers? I don't even own 5 computers. This is my first expierience with iTunes dowloads.

  • I have moved my itunes library to a new PC.  All but approximately 100-150 songs will synch to my ipod.  It says "not authorized" but when I authorize it, it says "already authorized"?  I thought possibly they were DRM files, but I can't tell?

    Any ideas how to get all my songs synched on the ipod?  They are in my itunes library on the new PC.

    Hi kellmack,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I recommend the steps in this article if iTunes prompts you to authorize your PC to play some purchases after you've already authorized it:

  • Why can't I uninstall itunes and reinstall it? It says; The feature I am trying to use is on a Network Resource that is unavailable.

    Hi,  I can't uninstall the older version of itunes along with some of its componetnts in ADD/Remove programs in Control Panel. I would like to download a newer version of itunes but I keep getting a dialogue box which reads 'The feature you are trying to use is on a Network Resource that is unavailable. Any ideas how to resolve this?

    It says Click Ok to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package itunes64.msi in the box below
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Can't play music from Universal Dock when iPod classic plugged in

    According to the iPod classic manual, one can play music or video while the iPod is connected to the computer or AC power to be charged up. However, this is not working for me. Instead, it says "Connected", and won't actually let me play music unless I unplug the USB cable. I have set iTunes to NOT start automatically, otherwise it will just sync over and over again, and still never play music. I know the iPod and dock are working correctly because if I unplug the USB cable from my computer, it plays music through the dock as expected. Suggestions? Thanks.

    Alas, not so easy. No matter what way I use to eject it from iTunes, once it stops with the "Ok to disconnect" bit, if it is still in the cradle (which it needs to be for playing), it toggles back to Connected, and the following dialog box from iTunes pops up, saying:
    "The iPod <name of iPod> cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application."
    The only application using it is iTunes. I've tried exiting iTunes quickly, no joy. [Aside to discussion forum moderators: There doesn't seem to be a way to paste in a bitmap to show the dialog. Oh well.]
    I just found a work-around, basically telling Windows at the OS level to remove the iPod qua USB device (usual way, right-click on the Safely Remove Hardware icon, choose the drive letter associated with the iPod), and that seems to do it. The battery icon is in the AC power state, so it's still on external power even though the OS doesn't see it. So maybe that's good enough. Although that's still something that iTunes ought to be doing, I would think.

  • Can't play music in itunes library
