Frequent authorize computer requests before synch of the iOS apps or starting of the AppStore apps.

Hello,
almost every time, when I synch an iOS device or like to start a Mac AppStore application, the iTunes/AppStore request to authorize this computer.
I tried all the hint from the official Apple site (authorize via admin account, delete the special folder, de-authorize and the authorize again, remove all computer assigned to my account) but nothing helps so far.
This is very annoying :(.
Also I places from time to time such requests for help in this forum, searched in internet but not solution so far.
I found out, that many of old song (some of them are still with DRM) and iPod games (all with DRM) are assigned to the account name, which is different as my current account name. I don't remember but it was change at some moment.
Anyway, after an authorization, I also able to play such DRM songs and sync iPod classic games to my iPod.
So. please help.
Many thanks in advanced.

TS1389 Frequent authorize computer requests when syncing iPhone?

Been using iPhone on Mac for years...recently (~3 months ago), it seems I'm constantly asked to re-authorize computer. I enter in my (unchanged) Password associated with the AppleID, and I'm told "Already Authorized" at which time everythign continues as it should. Tried Apple Help (including removing the SC folder as indicated here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1389)... still no help. Anyone have any thoughts?

Can't authorize computer to access my purchases

My computer got a virus, actually several and I had to run the recovery disc, so lost all of the music on my computer. Before I ran the recovery I managed to get my computer to stay on long enough to move all of my iTunes purchases (82 albums) to my iPod mini (it wouldn't have stayed on long enough for me to burn discs). Now for some reason when I try to authorize my computer to access those purchases it's saying that my account does not exist. I even tried the Forgot My Password, but it says that "The Apple ID specified does not exist." Why? I spent so much money on that music and I really don't want to lose it. Is there anything I can do, or am I screwed?
It may help to know that the email address I used was an old school email address and I transferred to another college and no longer have access to that email account. I have the best luck ever.

When I connect my iPod to the computer, it connects for only about 5 seconds and then disconnects on its own before synching. How do I fix this?

I had my iTunes and library on my home computer. The computer crapped out along with the hard drive. I have my library on my iPod and want to put it on my new computer, but any time I connect the iPod to my home computer (and work computer for that matter), it only connects for about 5 seconds and then disconnects on its own. I go to look at the iPod as a hard drive and I have nothing but empty folders (contacts, calendar, recordings and something else), but nothing is in them.
1) How do I get my iPod to connect to my computer?
2) How do I get my iPod to connect to iTunes?
3) Why don't my music files on my iPod show up on my computer?
I have uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled iTunes. I have done the "trick" of hitting the 'Menu and Center' buttons at the same time unitl the Apple icon appears. I have tried going into Disk Mode. I don't know what to do now. The word "Resetting" scares me because this is where I have my 150 GB of music stored and I'd rather not have to upload my CD's again.............will resetting affect that? The word "Restore" is even scarier!!!

Hi,
According to the log, it seems that TMG firewall denied the request and replied with an HTTP 407 response, indicating that proxy authentication was required. This was done because the Forefront TMG firewall did not have any access rules which would allow
the anonymous request. Please check if you have configured related access rules.
When did you recieve this log? Is there anyting wrong? Which authentication method you have used, Kerberos, NTLM or other?
It seems that each time a web proxy client requests a resource through a Forefront TMG firewall that requires NTLM authentication the client is actually denied twice during the transaction before being successfully authenticated and allowed access. When
the Forefront TMG firewall is configured to use Kerberos there is only a single denied request and HTTP 407 response and then contact a domain controller and obtain a Kerberos ticket to present to the TMG firewall to gain access to the resource.
If you configured the TMG clients with a certain proxy name, please make sure you typed the TMG's domain computer name only (not IP address nor alias).
Best regards,
Susie

Fried my hard drive. Trying to authorize new computer (store authorize computer). I get a box that says the account has already been created.

Fried hard drive and replaced computer. Trying to authorize my new computer to download music on the account I created with old computer. I get a box that says the account hs already been created. I know that. I created it. Has anyone else out there run into this before?

Unless the process has changed, you won't be able to do that (I've been there, done that...). You can either opt to de-authorize all (doesn't matter if it's only one) which you're allowed to do once a year, or, if you don't want to "waste" that option, contact iTunes support.

I need to authorize an new computer but I am at the limit of five and can't reauthorize from old computers as they are either dead or not in my procession. How do I unauthorized all computers so that I can authorize my new computer?

The page Roger posted is good but was very confusing for me. I'll try to help you out since that article was confusing to me.
In iTunes, Click your name/email that is directly to the left of the search bar.
Click account info.
Sign in.
Click this button where the mouse is:
(the screenshot is from an older iTunes on windows, but it is the same on the new versions)
Done!
You can only use that button once per year, so try to remember to deauthorize computers before you get rid of them.

Synch keeps telling me the computer is not authorized for the Ipod

Synch keeps telling me the computer is not authorized for the Ipod I have authorized again and again but this error still occurs.
I am unable to synch and there is no option to not synch tunes from iTunes store.
This occurred after an upgrade.

HT5622 My itunes is saying I have to authorize my computer that is alredy on the list?

My ITunes account is wanting me to authorize my computer that is already on the list of devices. My device count says 4, and I understand iPhone are not counted against your totals, so I really only have three devices authorized that I know of. Now this computer is a Windows 8.1, I have a second hard drive in it for extra storage, and that may be part of the problem? Well the real problem is windows 8.1 is total trash... But I have a lot of music on it I want to get into my ITunes library before I trash tis dell desktop, because it has lost all sound, and will not play anything, and not even the geeks at best buy can fix it.. Can anyone give me some simple advice if their is such a thing.. I am worn out reading articles on win 8 that get me no where, and Microsoft tech support has no idea what is going on down at their office, or have no idea what customer service is either.
Basically I have 4 devices on my account, one being a iPhone, and this machine in question is already on the list of devices. Yet it says I am at my limit of 5, but is only showing 4? Dose that make sense to anyone?
Thanks, John

Perhaps you've lost track of an authorization at some point. Deauthorize all then authorize the computers that you use with your account. See Deauthorize your computer using iTunes and iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases if there are further problems.
See this migrate iTunes library post for suggestions on moving your library to a new computer or archiving it before you restore the one that you have.

When i plug my iphone 4 to my pc it wont sync and I cannot find the "authorize computer anywhere...please help

When i p[lug my iphone to my pc it wont sync....and i tried looking for the authorize computer on the itunes store and it is not there

Hello, vizords.
Thank you for the question. You will need to enable the menu bar in iTunes 11 so you can access the store menu which will allow you to authorize the computer. Here are the steps on how to process this.

HT4972 I replaced the computer I originally used to synch my iPhone. I get the message stating that my content will be erased, even though this is the computer I now synch with. Is there a way to make the update recognize the new computer?

I replaced the computer I originally used to synch my iPhone. When trying to update to iOS5.0, I get the message stating that my content will be erased, even though this is the computer I now synch my phone with. Is there a way to make the update recognize the new computer so that my content will be kept?

The best option is to copy your entire iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one using one of the methods described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527. This will allow iTunes on your new computer to recognize and sync with your phone without deleting content. You will also need to copy over any other synced data not in your iTunes library such as photos synced to your phone, calendars and contacts.
If you can't do this, these articles will help you start syncing with your new computer with minimal or no data loss:
