EReader message: This computer is not authorized to preview this book (but it is and I've bought the book)

Message on computer for eReader says "This computer is not authorized to preview this book" but it is authorized and I've bought the book. Am trying to access information that will tell me how to retrieve books that I've tried to delete from the reader (but appear to have deleted from the computer).

This is typically caused by file corruption. Delete and redownload those songs if doing so is free in your country.

ITunes skips a song. It tells me, "This computer is not authorized to play this song. Would you like to authorize it?" So I enter my password. Then it tells me, "This computer is already authorized." But when I try to play it, it's still "not authorized".

I tried that with one song and it charged me for it. I've got hundreds of songs my new iMac won't play! Help!
If you purchased the song from the iTunes Store go to your purchase history and re-download it from there. You will not be charged again.

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks only from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If you don't see them straight away it may help to restart iTunes. While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

"This computer is not authorized to play this song" How...?

This is the message that was displayed on a friend's computer when trying to play a song. A box then appeared with an email address, asking for the password. What method was this song put onto this computer if the computer is not authorized to play this song, that I assume was purchased from Itunes.

Not sure of your question. If you put songs that you have purchased from itunes on a friend's PC, then you have to authorize that PC in itunes to play them.

TS1389 when i changed my browser to IE 8, I am no longer able to play the songs I purchased. I keep getting a dialog box saying "this computer is not authorized to play this song. Would you like to authorize it? The box has an old apple ID . How do I get

I try to play the Itunes song I purchased. I have a new computer, another internet provider since I purchased the songs, and have switched to a new internet browser Internet Explorer 8. I keep getting a dialog box saying "this computer is not authorized to play the song. would you like to authorize it?
An old Apple ID popps up and I am asked for the old passwork which I no longer remember. I successfully changed to a new Apple ID and password.
when I enter that, a new dialog box appears, saying "this computer is already authorized." When I try to play the song the first box appears again,
I I go round over and over, with no success playing my songs. Can anybody out their resolve this? Thanks for any help

Were these songs purchased using another account?
" I opened a new iTunes account and copied the files to the new account. "
Do you mean to a new library?
Account is a user neame and password with which you purchase content.
A library is your collection of media.

This computer is not authorized to play this song

This message appears to be bugging hundreds (thousands?) of Mac users when they use DRM protected music from iTunes within iMovie & iDVD - I believe Apple are working on the fix - anyone know when its due?

No clue, as I am sure most people here are in the same boat (since we don't work for Apple). But short term, the work around is to put purchased songs into a playlist in iTunes and burn them out to an Audio CD. Then reimport the songs and you should be able to use the reimported versions without this annoying pop up.
You might want to reimport as AIFF, as I have heard iDVD is a little quicker if it starts with AIFF format, although I can not confirm that and personally have never had issues using MP3s in my projects.

Importing Video Clip: This Computer is not Authorized to Play This Song"

I'm trying to burn a DVD full of favorite segments of video. One is an m4v video file I got legitimately from iTunes music store. It plays fine. When I try to import to iMovie HD, I get the above error message, and it asks if I want to open iTunes to authorize. I tried that once, even though I shouldn't have to do that. It used up another one of my 5 allowed computers, then back in iMovie it gave the same error message and started the process over. I see others had a similar problem with songs and were able to work around the problem by burning to CD and re-importing. I don't know how I would do that with a video file if I can't even get it into iMovie or iDVD.

You have run into DRM protection. The workaround is to burn those tracks to a CD, reimport them into iTunes from that CD, save as AIFF files, and then import them into iMovie.
Then they will work perfectly.

This computer is not Authorized

I've created an iMovie (08) project. When I try to put in music from my iTune , i get the message "This computer is not authorized to play this content" The music in question I have bought from iTunes fully legal ! What's wrong ? I've repaired permissions , and de-authorized and authorized again the same computer without success .

My iTunes account name and password have not changed since I signed up and all of my music is authorized with this one account. I've deauthorized and authorized the same account over again with no help. Only the unlocked songs will paste correctly into my iMovie projects. Making a copy of a song via CD will and putting that copy back into iTunes will create an unlocked version of the file. I'm pretty convinced that Apple f*'ed this up with iLife '09 because the problem did not exist until I installed it on my machine. I have kept IMovie '06 around because I am used to the interface and find that the new interface in iMovie '08/09 is not usable. My guess is that the new version of iLife either added new DRM protections, over wrote some previously installed DRM protection, or moved and reformated some DRM protection file that essentially disabled iMovie '06 from properly accessing iTunes information. Maybe iTunes 8.1.1 did the same thing. The bottom line is that iMovie '06 needs a repair of some sort to "see" the DRM information. Since Apple is reluctant to support legacy applications in favor of charging huge dollars for new and "improved" ones, I doubt that there will be fix anytime soon. Thanks Apple!

Itunes update does not correct the "this computer is not authorized...

What's going on with this message "this computer is not authorized to play this music". Very frustrating. The work around offered here just seem too much for a simple program.

Does this appear for a large number of songs? If not, and the songs remain available in the iTunes Store for purchase, delete them from your iTunes Library and download them again. You won't have to pay for anything you already purchased. See Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
It is possible to have authorized a single computer more than once, which may explain the problem. To fix that, select "Deauthorize This Computer..." from the iTunes Store menu, then immediately deauthorize again, then repeat, and continue to repeat, until the message "This computer was not authorized..." appears.
Then, authorize.
If none of this works contact iTunes Store Support.

Itunes wont sync error message this computer is not authorized

itunes will not sync my purchased songs to my new ipod touch, i get an error message that says, "some of the songs purchased cannot be transferred, this computer is not authorized, go to store, then authorize this computer." I have done this over and over again, I have even deauthorized and then RE authorized again and again, I still get the same message. Can someone please please please HELP ME?

I have been renting movies on my MBP and a previous MBP for years, and have always been able to transfer the rentals to an iPhone. I always rent on the MBP and not the iPhone. However due to a NEW authorisation problem recently I have not been able to play these movies through the Apple TV (V2) like I have been doing. Others on the Internet have also started having this problem. I have to resort to airplaying the movie from the MBP over to the Apple TV, which is a royal pain. What's the point of having all this gear in the family room when I have to get up and go to the office and start the movie playing from there?! Anyway, also recently I have not been able to move rented movies to the iPhone. I have tried recursively chmodding the Shared folder as described here
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1277
and it didn't help.
So now, if we go on a long road trip or flight, we can't bring the rented movies on an iPhone/iPad. This is a big problem. No I am not going to bring the laptop on the trip. The iTunes library is on an external disk on the LAN anyway.
Re the country comments, I'm in Canada.
