Can't Authorise Computer :(

While I was trying to install an application from my iTunes to iPad, it said that I could not install it as "this" computer was not "authorized".
I went to Store>Authorize this Computer, and then entered my ID and password. The authorisation process was successful, and it was my first authorised computer out of 5 allowed. Striaght after this I again selected the app, and clicked Apply. It again came with a window saying that this computer was NOT authorised. I repeated the procedure and I was told that this computer was already authorised.
I re-started iTunes, re-connected iPad, but again I could not transfer (install) ANY application on iPad. However, I've observed that I can uninstall any application without authorisation. wierd !!
Any clue what's going on here? Thanks in advance
PS. I hated iTunes, and now I hate it more I just can't believe this is Apple's own software!

When selecting the program iTunes from your start menu, right click the program name and click on "Run as Administrator".
Worked for me.

I can't deauthorise my daughter's last computer from iTunes because it has crashed. We have three computers in the house but I can't authorise my new MacbookPro for iTunes or homesharing because it says I have 5 computers authorised (I don't). I can't even get my music from the iTunes library on my old Macbook onto my new one, because it won't let me sync my iPhone 5 with my old Macbook, as I can't update the iTunes software. So I have a new MacbookPro and a new iPhone 5 and I can't get any of my music on either of them. I feel singularly depressed.

As you have more than 1 computer authorised then you should be able to log into your account on your computer's iTunes (Store > View My Account) and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then authorise/reauthorise the computers that you still have and need : authorising and deauthorising.

You are looking at the drop-down menus at the top of iTunes e.g. on a Mac :
If you are on iTunes 11 on Windows then press Alt-S and the Store menu should appear at the top.

HT1420 Can I download a movie onto my authorised computer and then copy if onto USB stick to put in the TV?

Can I download a movie onto my authorised computer and then copy if onto a USB to plug into our TV?

If you mean a movie purchased from the iTunes Store then the answer is no. Movies purchased from the iTunes Store are protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management) in this case using Apple's 'FairPlay' scheme and this prevents you simply copying and playing the file.
You can however purchase a movie from the iTunes Store and either play it via iTunes on a Mac or PC which could be connected to your TV, or you can use an Apple TV device which is specifically made for this purpose.
See http://www.apple.com/appletv/
If on the otherhand you mean just a movie you have downloaded from a website which is nothing to do with Apple's iTunes Store then it very much depends on the format of the movie. Some 'Smart' TVs can play some movie file formats from USB memory sticks. You will need to check the specs of your TV to see what formats it supports.

My Mac Hard disk recently broke and was replaced. Now, although my computer is authorised in itunes store, it won't let me re-download purchased items (esp OSX Lion). How can I make computer re-download previous purchases?

Never mind - I didn't realize that I just needed to wait a while for the Cloud stuff to cycle through and load. Solved!

HT5610 How can You authorise your Windows Vista computer??? I do not get this drop down menu nowI cannot get this here, have been trying for hours, why is this so uncooperative? My first impression of I tunes is not so good after that.

How can you authorise your windows vista computer to play stuff you downloaded from itunes??? I cannot get this drop down menu shown on your support pages whatever I do. I have been trying for ages. This is not a good first impression.

Authorize a Mac or PC
Review the following before you authorize a computer:
You can authorize up to five computers with your Apple ID.
You must authorize your computer to download past purchases, use Home Sharing, or use the Automatic Downloads setting.
You can play unprotected music that's in the AAC file format without authorizing your computer. This includes iTunes Plus tracks and content from sources other than the iTunes Store, like your audio CDs.
To authorize a computer, follow these steps:
Open iTunes.
Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
You may need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
If your Apple ID uses an expired MobileMe account, you can still authorize your computer.
In some cases, iTunes may ask you to authorize the computer again. iTunes should use the same authorization as before if the computer is in your list of authorized computers.
Learn what to do if iTunes repeatedly asks you to authorize when you try to play your content.

Note : If you are Unable to see the Store Tab on your iTunes then click anywhere on your iTunes and press
Ctrl + B key on your keyboard once and you should be able to see the Store tab in your iTunes.

I have an Adobe ID & Password, but still can't authorise my computer?

I have an Adobe ID & password, but still can't authorise my computer, please assist.

Why has this question from April not been answered?! I just bought an iPad Mini and can't authorise my Adobe ID. I am trying to download books from my local public library through OverDrive, which I have been doing for years on my PC and my iPad but it's not working on my brand new Mini. When I click on a book that I've 'checked out' in my Bookshelf (in the 'library') it opens up the Adobe Authorisation window, which says, 'To use this eBook you must first authorize this application with an Adobe ID.' I enter my email address and password, click on Authorize. Then I get a pop up message that says: 'Adobe ID. This Adobe ID is synced to OverDrive. Would you like to log in to OverDrive and restore this activation? No/Yes.' When I click on Yes it takes me to an OverDrive window, asking me to 'Sign in to your OverDrive account'. I log in via Facebook, it opens up the Personal details page of Account Settings. I click Save, then it says 'Your account settings have been updated.' Then nothing else happens. When I go back into my OverDrive Bookshelf I have to do the whole process over again. Obviously the Adobe ID is not authorising somewhere along the line.

Can't authorise my computer and my e-Reader

Everytime I try to ahtuorise my computer, I have an error message saying that the connexion is not possible.
Thus, I can not authorise my computer, nore my e-Reader.
Connexion to Internet is available and Adobe ID is created;
tHANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP

Two possible solutions ...
1) ~~~~~
Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
E_AUTH_NOT_READY is another unhelpful one it sometimes gives.
This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.
In extreme cases on the mac, the following extra step has helped some people. Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash. If you are using 10.7, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1265248?tstart=0
2) ~~~~~~~~~
There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0 (and 2.0.1). Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.
http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html
The forum software is sometimes corrupting the link above. There shouldn't be a blank in 'editio ns.html'. The following redirects to the same page: http://tinyurl.com/diged172
Some people have found ADE trying to upgrade automatically.
It appears (not 100% sure) that if you install ADE2.0 as a new install (not as an upgrade) that your 1.7.2 will continue to run.
Probably best to say no if 2.0.x installation asks if you want to migrate your library.

Where is the authorise computer in Itunes Store menu?

Hi ... can anyone advise where on Itunes Store is the menu showing authorise computer. Am currently trying to sync my iphone 3GS to a new PC.........

I tried all of these without success then had a stroke of luck. I only downloaded itunes today and could not find the "store" menu item. I finally found a tiny icon in the very top left of the itunes screen (looks like a page of paper with the left half black and right half white) and a tiny triangle beside it. When I clicked on it, it gave a drop down menu. One item was "show menu bar". When I clicked this it opened a menu bar that had the "store" as an option and voila!!! there was "authorise this computer" as an option. Easy once you know how!!!!

HT1848 where is the 'authorise computer' in itunes?

Hi folks
When I charge my iphone through my imac, I get the message that there is an upgraded OS which I should download.
But when I say yes to that, the message is that I should transfer purchases from my phone to itunes.
The process for this is supposed to be:
Open iTunes.
From the Store menu, choose Authorize Computer.
In the dialog that appears, the Apple ID button is selected by default.
Enter your Apple ID and password, then click the Authorize button.
But I can't find the 'authorise computer' command in itunes.
Can anybody help?
Thanks
Pete

Memory upgrade de-authorised computer

Hi All,
Upgraded my Mac Mini RAM yesterday to 10GB (8+2), even though the upgrade seems to have cured the sluggishness of the system (2.5 GHz Intel Core i5) one side affect is that the computer is no longer authorised to iTunes.
Worse thing is I "deauthorised all" november this year when I bought my Daughters macbook pros for christmas, and iTunes store now suggests i need to wait till 6 nov 2015 to reset.
Any suggestions please?

Nice support letter from Apple that reset my Authorisations and explain the hardware change "counting" dilemma
Hello Ian,
Greetings from iTunes Store Support.
My name is xxxx. First of all, I apologize for the delay in response from us. I know it must have been difficult for you to wait for a response from us and I deeply regret that. I understand that you are unable to de authorize your computer as you already used "deauthorised all" option. I can certainly understand wanting to deauthorize computers that no longer require access to your account and I will certainly look into this for you today.
Ian, I have deauthorized all computers associated with your iTunes Store account. You can now reauthorize the computers that you intend to use. For specific instructions on how to authorize and deauthorize a computer to play your iTunes Store purchases, please read the following technical support article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420 If you repair or upgrade certain components on your computer, one computer may use up multiple authorizations.
If possible be sure to deauthorize your computer before you repair or upgrade it to avoid this. If you find that you have computers you would like to deauthorize, you can deauthorize each computer individually by following the steps outlined in the following article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1206 Alternatively, if you have two or more computers authorized, you can reset your authorization count by clicking Deauthorize All on the Edit Account Information page. Keep in mind that you can only use this feature once a year. The button will not appear if you have less than two computers authorized. I hope I was able to help you today. Here in Apple, we make sure that our customers feel that they are important to us, so I hope you take this as my sincere gesture to help you out.
