I am using a laptop from my home family of computers but when I try to play a movie I have transferred from my desktop, first iTunes says I am not authorized to play this movie. Then when I sign in to authorize the movie, it says that I am authorized on this computer but I still can't play the movie. When I try to play it again, the whole routine starts over again. Suggestions????
I'm having exactly the same problem. I just tried all the suggestions in the link from Jim and none of them made any difference. Tried calling Apple support but just got bounced round by people who didn't seem to know what they were talking about.

ITunes says my computer is not authorized but it is
Okay, so whenever I try to sync my iPad or iPhone, iTunes tells me my computer isn't authorized. But when I go to authorize it, it says it is already authorized. I've tried turning authorization on and off, deleting the SC or whatever folder like the help page says, nothing works. Has anyone else had this issue and if so can you please share how you fixed it? Thanks.

My computer no longer plays some purchases because it says my computer is not authorised but it is, but now Itunes say the cd is no longer available at the store, so I have paid for something but can not no play it.
Hi and welcome to the WD community.
Try to see if perhaps you are connecting the drive to a surge protector and it might not be getting enough power, try to connect the adapter directly to a power outlet on the wall to see if you get a different result. -
How does one fix the problem of iTunes saying my computer is not authorized to play songs I've recently purchased, even though I continue to sign in for authorization? This is bullcrap.
Okay, that sounds like the dodgy tracks have been getting damaged during the download.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items. -
my iPhone won't sync to my iTunes because it says my computer is not authorized. When i do authorize it, it claims to already be authorized. When i re-sync my phone it says it is unauthorized. Any help?
Hello katey1717
If you are getting the repeated prompts of asking to authorize your Apple ID, then check out the article below to resolve the issue. Make sure that you go through and remove the SC Info folder and try to authorizer again as that resolved it for me when I had that issue.

Itunes says my computer is not authorized to play videos
I know this is a problem that Apple is aware of. I have tried several ways and I cannot get my iMac to play the videos I have purchased. I get an error message saying the computer is not authorized, but when I try to authorize it I get a message telling me it already is authorized. I think the only thing I haven't tried is going into the Terminal and following the instructions Apple gives, but I am not comfortable doing that as I know I can mess up the computer if I do it wrong. iTunes will play my music but not my TV shows.
Hello calliesmom
Try deleting the SC info folder in the article below and the Authorize your account again that way you are not doing anything in terminal that would make you feel uncomfortable

ATV says my computer is not authorized, but i-Tunes says it is.
I have i-Tunes open on my computer and have entered i-Tunes store, ATV says it can't access the store. Both on the same network!

In i-Tunes, songs are lost when they have not been moved. I lose whole albums I have ripped from CDs to iTunes

I'm a first time Mac user and I went to play my music on Itunes out loud and all the music I previously purchased will not play and then a pop up appears saying my computer is not authorized? what does this mean and how can I fix it?
You need to authorize the new computer that youre working with. First hover over the store button at the top of the screen and then select the authorize this computer button then a popup will appear where you have to put in your Apple ID and Password. Hopefully this works for you

The message says the computer is not authorized. I deauthorized and reauthorized it and it still will not work. Should i delete the song and download it again?
Should i delete the song and download it again?
Yes ... if just one song on an album is doing that, it usually means you've got a damaged file on your hands. -

Itunes says my computer is not authorized to play songs on the nano.
I connected my Nano( 2nd gen) synched it with my itunes and transferred some songs a few days ago.
Today, I wanted to add some songs I missed but now Itunes is saying my computer isn't authorized to play songs on it. When I try to authorize it (the window pops up for my itunes store password) I get an error from the itunes store. Specifically it says unknown error (-42408).
What does it mean and how do I make it stop?Hello Sesquipedelianne,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you upgraded to the latest version of iTunes? This error message was common for people who were just upgrading to version 9, but it was resolved as of 9.1.

Otherwise, if that is not the case, you might find a few more possible solutions in this older thread.
