Computer is no longer authorized for apps installed on your iPhone

Does anyone else get a message that your computer is no longer authorized for apps installed on your iPhone?  When I click "authorize" I get a message that "This computer is already authorized".  But when I click ok, I get the first message again . . .

No. You must purchase them under your Apple ID. Anything purchased under someone else's Apple ID will present this same issue. You cannot share items in this way.
Give the above see the following:
Sharing Stuff From Different iTunes Accounts (or Computers)
Here's how to do so using different computers:
Transfer what content you want to the separate iTunes library on each computer. To transfer content from your library to another library do the following. We'll assume this is between husband and wife separate accounts and different Apple IDs.
Launch iTunes under your wife's login;
Sign her out of iTunes, then you sign in;
Select iTunes -> Preferences -> Devices -> Disable auto-sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected;
Connect your phone, DO NOT SYNC;
Select Store -> Authorize this Computer (only have to do this once);
Select File -> Transfer Purchases (all of the purchased content on your phone will be transferred to your wife's library);
When complete eject your phone, sign out of iTunes, sign your wife back in.
You can now sync whatever content you want to your wife's phone. Just remember all updates to apps obtained using your account must be done while signed in using your account: sign wife out, you sign in, update apps, you sign out, sign wife in, sync her phone.
This way you can share content (permitted under the EUSLA) and still maintain your separate logins. Do the same on your computer if you want to share content from your wife's library.
Just load whatever content you want to share on each others phones, transfer the content, then delete it from the respective phone if you don't want to keep it there.

  • Error message - "This computer is no longer authorized for apps installed on iphone"

    I started getting this message a couple of weeks ago.  I get it everytime i start itunes and try to sync with my iphone.  The computer is authorized.  After I resubmit my password, itunes tells me that the computer is already authorized and to continue.  The frustration is that if I am not connected to the internet, itunes will erase apps/podcasts from my iphone.  :-(   Any ideas?
    Thanks.

  • TS1389 "computer is no longer authorized for apps installed on the ipod"

    Is the error message that I receive when I try to sync my ipod.  I receive this for all of my apps and am not able to update or sync my apps.  I get this same message if I delete an app then reinstall it.  I have tried the 4 suggested resolutions with no change.  I'd be fine deleting my free apps and reinstalling, but this does not seem to work.  More importantly, since Apple does not allow free reinstallation of already paid apps, like they do for music, I don't want to delete my paid apps.  consequently, I do not sync my apps.  Any ideas?  thanks for any help.

  • HT1386 Hello, When trying to sync, I get the following message.  This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the iPhone "Terri George's iPhone". Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?

    while trying to sync with my iphone I recieve the message: This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the iPhone “Terri George’s iPhone”. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?  When I put in my password and hit authorize, I get a message telling me there was an unknown error (-50).  Would love to sync today.  Any help would be appreciated.

    The -50 error is documented in this article:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    Here is a synopsis:
    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.

  • This computer is no longer authorized for programs on "my iphone"...

    Since I did the last update to iphone os 3.0 I cant synchronize my phone to my computer anymore. When I try to download apps to the phone from the computer or the other way, Itunes says "This computer is nolonger authorized for programs installed on your iphone"... and when I authorize Itunes says "This computer is already authorized", "including this one, you have authorized one computer out of your available 5"... and nothing happends... What is wrong? I get crazy over this. I can't get my programs from my computer to the phone and not the other way around. But I can still download programs directly to the phone. Please help me!

    I bought an iphone used from a co-worker who moved into an area that AT&T did not have coverage. It was a bear getting all the info changed to my accounts, particularly the itunes account.
    For quite a while I could buy from the itunes store on my computer and it worked fine, but if I tried to purchase from the app store on my phone it would not recognize my password. Sometimes it would show my email address as the itunes account and sometimes it would show her email address.
    Eventually it seemed to sort itself out and I am free and clear of her info. I don't know if there is some cache or restored database in the itunes store that was pulling old info back into play, but time seemed to cure it...

  • "this computer is no longer authorized for applications that are installed

    "this computer is no longer authorized for applications that are installed on the ipad "name of ipad" Would you like to autoriize for items purchased from the itunes store?
    if you do not autorize ....
    Why am I getting this message I only have 1 computer the ipad connects to, it hasnt changed so why do I suddenly have to autorize it again????

    I've gotten the same issue now on my ipad.
    My mac mini is authorized. I only have ONE itunes account. I sync my original ipad today and I get this message. So i say sure authorize, even tho it is. Enter login and password, comes back with this computer is already authorized. I knew that but ok. hit ok. Up pops message that this computer is no longer authorized, blah blah blah. Ok ill try again. Authorize credentials entered. Get message that computer is already authorized. Itunes is most recent 10.2.1. Ipad is updated to 4.3.1.
    I deauthorized computer and reauthorized it. Still get loop.
    google for solutions, find lots of problems, no answers outside of reinstall itunes and it "might" work, but not for everyone. Not gonna do that yet.
    Figure Ill call, I mean its not that an old a device and its surely a bug in the software, I havent changed a single thing since I last synced and only tried got the sync message when i plugged it in to update the OS.
    /rant on Go through a gazillion voice prompts and question, finally get operator and he'll help me if i spend 80 or 30 bucks depending on the service program I want. Yah know thats just total #$%@.
    How about some customer service eh? How about posting a solution to the forums. If you dont have one, at least tell people that.
    I get the same bit of attitude when I walk in the apple store. Love the products, have been an apple user since the IIe, but I just want the products I bought from you, the software that I get from you, the music that I buy from you, the apps that I buy from you, etc etc to WORK with each other.
    /rant off
    has anyone seen a solution for this.
