Error when trying to authorize/deauthorize itunes

I have searched and searched for help. I found some useful information, but none answered my problems 100%. The problem is: earlier today all of my itunes songs worked just fine then I downloaded 3 albums and now all of a sudden I get the following error message when trying to play any of my downloaded songs: "this computer is not authorized to play "xxxxxx" would you like to authorize it?" I then type in my ID and Password and it gives me this error message: "There was an error storing your authorization information on this computer....the required directory was not found or has a permissions error." I store my songs on an external drive so I go and check to see if the albums/songs I downloaded were saved correctly, which they were. I then go to the 'store' and I try to deauthorize, but I am unable to and it gives me the same error message 'there was an error storing your information'...I am stumped. I have tried just about everything. what am I doing wrong? I am beyond angry.

Have you solved this problem yet? This is the EXACT problem I am having!!! This just started after I upgraded to 10.5.2. Please Help!!!

    That's definitely enough to start.
    It sure seems like it should work...and then I saw that you're using a router. It could very well be that the router is the weak link here.
    Instead connecting to your network router, try using a direct USB connection from your MBP. If that doesn't work, you read this post, which may be relevant to your problem:

  • I get the following error when trying to use the itunes store "your apple id has been disabled"

    I get the following error when trying to use the itunes store "your apple id has been disabled".  My account was disabled when someone else had been using it without my knowledge.  I changed my apple id password and the apple id is still fine, but itunes has it disabled.  I verified that the computer is authorized for this apple id.  What to do now?

  • I am getting an error when trying to download new iTunes software to new Windows 7 computer.

    I am getting an error when trying to download iTunes to a new Lenovo laptop with Windows 7.  Says... An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,type="win32",version="8.0.50727.6195",publicKeyToken="1fc8b 3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="86".  HRESULT:0x80070BC9
    Please help if anyone knows how to fix or bypass this problem.

    These ones are tricky. But the following instructions are worth a try.
    First do a complete uninstall of iTunes and related components (but don't reinstall just yet), as per the following document:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    a. Launch regedit (Start >> Search Programs and Files >> type Regedit and open the regedit that comes up.)
    b. Access the following Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData \S-1-5-18\Components
    c. Perform the following actions
    i. Right Click on Components Folder
    ii. Select Permissions
    iii. Select Full Control and Read Permissions options
    iv. Select Advanced Button
    v. Select Owner Tab
    vi. Select to Change Owner to the Administrators
    vii. Check the option “Replace owner on subcontainers and objects”
    viii. Select OK when prompted that it may not change all.
    ix. Select Apply
    x. Select Apply again
    xi. Exit the Registry Editor
    Now try reinstalling iTunes again. Does it go in properly this time?

    I assume since you are posting in the iTunes U for iOS forum that you are having issues with the IOS version of the app. What is the exact error message?
    Can you participate in a course's discussion from iTunes U's Course Manager (https://itunesu.itunes.apple.com/coursemanager/)?

  • Consistent 8007 error when trying to download from iTunes / App Store on my iMac.

    Hi I get a consistent 8007 error when trying to download on my iMac. Yet can download and it works fine via Apple TV. I'm also having issues downloading on the App Store. I've checked the date and time, firewall and everything else seems to be fine. I can't uninstall iTunes as am running OSX 10.8.4 and am not tech confident enough to run this via terminal. Help!

    I tried switching off Apple tv and when reconnected after 30 sec. Or so, it continued downloading

  • Receiving Win32 app error when trying to download latest itunes

    I am receiving the following error when I try to update itunes. .....Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IES\37LS4QDM\iTunesSetup[1].exe is not a valid Win32 application.
    I saw a previous post from someone with a similar problem. It was suggested that she update Windows XP and that solved the problem. I also have Windows XP and it is completely updated. I also tried emptying the files in the Temp Folder as suggested my another iTunes support page, but couldn't delete everything because two files were running and I couldn't figure out from what program. There were also folders inside the temp folder for iTunes, but I was afraid to delete them.
    Any ideas???

    Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IES\37LS4QDM\iTunesSetup[1].exe is not a valid Win32 application.
    hmmmmm.
    are you running the install "online" or are you saving the iTunesSetup.exe to your hard drive and then running the install by doubleclicking the installer file?
    are you connecting to a network (or directly to the internet) wirelessly?

  • Always get a -9808 error when trying to authorize may machine or to sign-in fro iTunes

    I followed every advice I could find in the knowledge base, including time verification, removing *** firewall and security software, re-installing iTunes, running from another network - nothing helps.
    When I touch the sign-in button in iTunes, the sign-in button in the dialog box is always disabled.
    I can login to my accounts (I have two) from myinfo.apple.com, everything looks ok.
    iTunes diagnostic reports -9808 when trying to connect to the store or to the authorization service. Other than that, all looks fine.
    Any idea how to resolve the problem?
    Thanks,

    You have some other problem with your boot drive that has corrupted data backed up to the TimeMacine drive.
    My advice is to boot into each operating system and manually backup just your Users files each to separate regular external drives (no Timemachine or backup software) and disconnect.
    Make a note of any serial numbers, emails, address book contacts, export bookmarks etc. that isn't typically in your users folders data.
    You might be able to Winclone 3 the Windows as a whole thing as it's appearing not to have issues but it's your MacintoshHD partition that is so that will have to be rebuilt from scratch.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    If your OS X parititon doesn't boot, you can use this to recover files.
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    Without any further detail about your machine I can't advise specifically what to do, but it involves using Disk Utility to Zero Erase (move slider one spot to the right or in 10.6 using Security Option) the ENTIRE boot drive and reformatting, then installing OSX fresh and then setting up BootCamp again.
    If you wish to switch your boot drive for something better, this is a good time to do this.
    Install/upgrade RAM or storage drive in Mac's
    If your machine is capable of Internet Recovery, then use that, then upgrade.
    If your machine came with 10.6 or earlier, then use the 10.6 install disks and work up from there.
    Erase, formatting, OS X installs on Mac's

  • Error When Trying to Restore from iTunes Backup

    I had to erase and re-install the operating system. I thought I had iTunes covered by burning an iTunes backup to a CD, but when trying to restore iTunes from the CD it will restore a few songs and then give an error message that it was unable to read or write to my hard drive. I looks as though it restored the music that I owned and put on the computer but not the tunes I had purchased from the iTunes store and not the playlists. I did not know enough to burn the /music file. Is there anything I can do to get the burned CD to restore?

    Contacts are not part of the backup. They are seperate and either you need to sync them with an email program such as outlook or use icloud mail,contacts, and calendars on the phone. Unless you did that then the contacts are gone.

  • Error when trying to authorize new computer to play a song

    Hello,
    i just transferred all my songs from one computer to the next, as well as my husbands music. everytime we try to play a song that is associated with his apple id, i get the error "We could not complete your itunes store request. An unknown error ocurred (-50). There was an error in the itunes stores. Please try again later"
    Any ideas?

    Not really, other than trying at a really inconvenient time when most people are asleep, such as 4AM USA Pacific when the Apple servers are probably not busy.
    edit- tell me, are you able to go to the store and download a free single of the week?
