Did not copy files to iPod because your computer is not authorized.

I don't have any stolen music on my iPod or computer.
but now iTunes says it won't update some of my PAID iTunes purchases to my iPod.
that's not right.

Is that a question?

How can I get songs to copy to my iPod when my computer is already authorized I get a message that states I cannot copy those songs because it tells me I need to authorize my computer?

I get the following message when I sync my iPod Touch to my macbook in an attempt to copy songs to the iPod:
Some of the items in the iTunes library, including “----------”, were not copied to the iPod “------------------- iPod” because you are not authorized for then on this computer. To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose Store > Authorize This Computer
Then when I go to the iTunes Store and authorize my computer, it tells me that it is already authorized. I sure would like to get those 45 songs onto my iPod.

Hello jutrzopx,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Can you play those tracks, the tracks that you’re unable to sync to the iPod, in iTunes? Make sure that you’ve authorized the computer to play purchases from each Apple ID that you've used with the iTunes Store, as shown in the article linked below.
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
Authorize using the correct account name
The items you're trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you'll need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.
The article provides additional troubleshooting suggestions that may resolve the issue, If that doesn’t take care of it.

Computer crashed - how to copy files from ipod onto new computer

Dear all,
My computer crashed and I desperately need some tips on how to copy my music files from my ipod to the new hard disk. Any ideas?
Thanks so much,

Music from iPod to computer.
There's also Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod to iTunes.

HT1351 I've encoded a vinyl LP record into digital format and recorded it onto an usb as MP3 file. But when I tried to copy it onto my ipod classic, I get a message stating "was not copied to the ipod because it cannot be played on this ipod". Why?

I've encoded a vinyl LP record into digital format and recorded it onto an usb as MP3 file. But when I tried to copy it onto my ipod classic, I get a message stating "was not copied to the ipod because it cannot be played on this ipod". Why?

I was refering to the "sample rate", normally 44.1 KHz, the iPod might not be able to play tracks with a non-standard rate. Otherwise I'm not sure what the issue might be.

You will need to do it using a third-party utility such as Phone to PC. Also, see:

One of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the ipod because they cannot be played on this ipod

i have been trying to figure what the problem with my ipod touch is, im downloading songs from a different source and not itunes store, recently i have had a msg being displayed at the end of synching 'some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the ipod because they cannot be played on this ipod'. however the songs play fine in itunes.
i have re-installed itunes several times, deleted all my music and iported it again. retored my ipod and still i have the same msg. its only stating 8 songs so far that cannot be copied onto my ipod. please can someone help as ive tried everything that i can possibly do. thanks.

Hello mobyash,
Have you tried converting each of these 8 tracks to a different file format and seeing if they will then sync to your iPod. See this Apple support document for information and instructions on how to convert a song to a different format.

The restor pocess did not succeed because your computer cannot connect to the server - Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials Experience

Hi all
I've been running Windows Server 2012 R2 with the Essentials Experience in test for a Windows 8.1 client environment, on an HP ProLiant MicroServer N54L. Overall I've found the Essential Experience set-up over WHS2011 and WHSv1 okay; still looking to extract
any real value over the former versions.
This box has been up and running for a few months now, with client backups of a Win 8.1 box scheduled and running successfully every day. However when trying to conduct any file restores from the backups, to the client, I receive an error dialog once I go
through motions from the Dashboard:
On the 'Devices' tab, right-click the appropriate client and select 'Restore files or folders for the computer'
'Restore Files of Folders' dialog pops up, asking me to 'Choose a backup' from the list of all the backups that have run
Select any one in the list - have tried numerous backups; automatic, manual, etc. same result every time
Brings up the dialog to 'Choose a volume', choose either C: or D: partitions of the same fixed drive - again, no difference which one I choose, the outcome is the same
'Opening the volume' dialog starts, with progress bar, runs to about 4% complete the pops up the dialog 'The restore process did not succeed'. Full error in the dialog, "The restore process did not succeed because your computer cannot connect to the
server. Make sure that the computer is connected to the networkm and then try again
If my computer cannot connect to the server - how can I get that far? How can I open the dashboard, select a client, select from a list of backups, select a volume to restore, etc. What is going on here?

Hi,
Please check if a "host" entry for the server is added to the client. For more detailed information, please refer to the threads below:

"no photos were copied to the ipod because there is not enough free space"

i've been trying to download photos on my nano for weeks and i always receive this message :
"no photos were copied to the ipod because there is not enough free space on the ipod to hold your photos and albums."
the weird thing is that there IS free space; i actually made some (there are 18 available MB right now on my nano). and the folder containing the photos i am trying to download is far from 18 MB. but i still get the same message.
anyone knows what i could do?? thanks!!

R U sure you have enough space? Double check to make sure you are only trying to upload the pictures you want on your ipod not all the pictures on your computer (more than 18 MB).

Why do I see: iTunes Help is unavailable because your computer isn't connected to the Internet. IE9 works fine but iTunes does not connect to the store.

I have tried 4 days to get iTunes 10.4 working on my Win7 x64 machine. I purchased a new iPhone4 and after syncing it the first time, I can't connect to the iTunes store.
When I try to run iTunes Help, I get this message "iTunes Help is unavailable because your computer isn’t connected to the Internet." However IE9 and Google Chrome run as always...... no connection problems.
I have already uninstalled IE9 x64 and iTunes 10.4 x64 and reinstalled but still the same. I followed all the instructions I could find about firewalls, ports, SSL etc.

I have music in my iTunes library that won't transfer to my iPod. I restored the iPod, I get an message stating 29 things can't be copied because the computer isn't authorized. I deauthorized and reauthorized the computer but they still don't copy

I recently purchased some music. Then I realized that I hadn't heard some other music for a long time. I checked the iPod and the music isn't there. On my PC in the iTunes library it is there but it won't copy to the iPod. I went to my local Apple store and talked to a genius. No luck. He restored the iPod, we deauthorized my computer. When I got home I reauthorized the computer and again restored the iPod. 29 things can't be copied to the iPod because it says the computer isn't authorized. The computer is authorized.
At one time I purchased music through iTunes but used my AOL sign in, instead of my Apple ID. I think this is where the problem is.
Does anybody know how I can get my purchased music back on my iPod?

Ow do I sync a movie downloaded to iTunes, but I get a message that says "cannot sync movie to iPod because this computer is not authorized". What do I do to fix this?

How do I sync a movie downloaded to iTunes, but I get a message that says "Cannot sync movie to iPod because this computer is not authorized"? How do I fix this?

And I assume you have already checked to see if your iTunes purchases are authorized by choosing Store -> Authorize This Computer?
Some have been able to resolve this issue by removing the downloaded purchase and redownloading it again at no cost via iCloud. See this article for more information on redownloading past purchases.
