Hey Bakak,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you keep getting a message to authorize your computer when trying to transfer applications to your iPhone. Here is an article on things that may cause this. I suspect that the section "Authorize using the correct account name" may be most relevant. It is possible that you have multiple Apple IDs and iTunes accounts.

Cannot sync videos from iTunes to iPhone 5S

I recently got an iPhone 5S 32 GB. I restored it through iTunes from a backup of my old iPhone 4S 16 GB. Since the restore, & after an upgrade to iOS 8.0.2, I can no longer sync videos from iTunes 11.4.0.18 to the iPhone. Previously I had been syncing a number of these videos to the 4S for years.
Here's what I've always done: I simply connect the iPhone to my PC via a lightning cable. Next I click on the "Movies" button at the top of the window. Then I check the box to sync the movies that I wish to transfer. Finally I hit "Apply." The sync starts, but the movies never make it to the phone for some reason.
When I click on "Movies" under the iPhone on the left side of the screen, I see a listing of the movies that should have synced. They are listed there, but they are kind of greyed out, & they have a dotted circle beside them. This is very puzzling because I have over 17 GB of free space on the phone. I can also confirm that the files are on my hard drive in the location shown when I right-click & hit "Get Info." I can also successfully sync the very same videos with my iPad mini.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

UPDATE: I backed up my phone, wiped it (Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings), & then restored it through iTunes. For whatever reason, that seems to have fixed the problem. Movies now sync to my phone like they used to.
That process seems to have corrected 1 or 2 other minor issues, including one where iTunes was 'syncing artwork' for a long time on every sync.

I can no longer sync videos from iTunes to my iPhone 6 after updating to 8.0.2.

After updating to 8.0.2, my movies disappeared from my iPhone - it states "No Content". My iTunes show that I have "Sync Movies" checked with 9 movies selected, but they are not syncing. When I choose, "Sync", iTunes go through all the steps, but no movies sync. When i deselect "Sync Movies" then reselect it, the bar at the bottom shows the Purple portion that represents Movies - it goes through with the syncing process, then the Movie portion disappears when the sync is done, thus leaving NO movies synced to my device.

Disregard this... I found the issue. I have AirWatch MDM installed. For some reason, the restrictions blocked me from syncing videos. I don't know how that happened being that I am the Admin for the AirWatch MDM at my company - I made sure i allowed everything possible being that its configured for BYOD. I guess something with the update to 8.0.2 screwed with it somehow. It worked fine after uninstalling the AirWatch Profile and MDM.

Error message when trying to transfer/sync video from itunes to ipod

I have never had this problem before, but I just purchased a couple music videos from itunes and then was trying to manually transfer/sync them to my ipod and then I receive the error message "Attempting to copy to the disk failed. The disk could not be read from or written to"
I can transfer/sync music just fine still, and I have transferred music videos in the past. And I checked the info tab on the music videos and they are "protected content" but I have been able to transfer other protected content videos from itunes before.
I have tried restarting itunes and the ipod, putting it in disk mode and nothing seems to work. I would appreciate someone's help, THANK YOU!

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? It may be of some help: "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod

Cant sync iPhone because itunes says this computer is no longer authorised

whenever i try to sync my iPhone 5s to my computer (iMac.. the older/thick one), it backs up and works fine until it starts to download music and apps. it says that it cant sync to my iPhone because the computer is no longer authorised for the purchases made on the phone, it gave me the option to authorise (which it already was) so i did, still didn't work, so i reauthorised and reauthorised a couple of times. i first started to notice the problem when i updates to IOS 8 (iTunes v12.0.1.26) so i don't know whats at fault. i have a 4th-gen ipod touch (6.1.2) that syncs without any problems. i dont know what to do anymore , i just want my new songs on my phone. is there any way i can fix this because having to carry my ipod and my phone everywhere is getting quite tedious.

Hi GArveladze11,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’re not able to sync your iPhone 5S with your iMac because of repeated alerts to authorize the computer. Take a look at the article linked below, it provides more information about the alert message that you’re seeing and possible resolutions.

Sync Videos with iTunes from Aperture

I Switched from iPhoto to Aperture and liked it a lot. The first time I synced my pictures and videos to my iPhone all worked smoothly but yesterday after I synced again, my videos from my intelligent aperture folder was gone from my iPhone4 everything else was synced perfectly. I tried setting the flag for sync videos (in the sync pictures subfolder of iTunes ) off, sync , set it on and sync again. But the videos wont sync. I got 5 gb of free space on my iPhone for 1 gb of videos. So this can't be the reason. Could anyone help me please. I don't know how to solve this problem.
Thanks

Problem Solved!!! Aperture says the file is made by the Iphone and compartible, but it isnt. After exporting, reincoding using HandBrake and importing the videos to Aperture solved the problem. After that the videos could be synced to the Iphone. Apple support wasnt any help.

My ipad2 says it cant play video from itunes

I have an ipad 2 and it will not sync video that was downloaded from itunes. It tells me that it did not sync the videos because they cannot be played on the ipad. It is doing the same thing to my iphone. I really want to watxh movies on my devices and i dont know what to do!!!

Weird if the video came from iTunes. Try a system reset. It's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

HT1386 Cant sync apps between itunes library and computer...apps show up but grayed out

1. on the pad, settings, general / restrictions. make sure that is not on.
2. if you have multiple devices syncing from the same computer, make sure you have the correct on indicated in the leftside navigation pane of I tunes.
