Help! My songs are 'not authorized to be played on this computer'?????

Don't know if it's because I recently upgraded to the new ITUnes software, but for some reasons, ITunes is refusing to copy my entire library onto my Ipod Nano. AND it's taken off a list of about 40 songs that were previously on there.
I purchased or burned these songs and they're legit.
What is happening? How can I get all of my ITunes library onto my Ipod nano???

Have yo ever authorized this new computer to play your purchased music?

Songs not authorized to be played on this computer?

I recently purchased both a new ipod and a new computer. I loaded my library from an external hard drive and, when syncing the library with my new ipod, a handful of songs I purchased from itunes wouldn't load onto my ipod because it says they are not authorized to play on my new computer.
Anyone know how I can fix this?
Much thanks.

Songs are not authorized

when try to synch, i get a message that some songs are not authorized. yet when i authorize my computer it says it is alredy one of my authorized computers

This may not apply to you, but make sure you're using the iTunes Store account under which the tracks were purchased. Often people forget that some tracks were purchased from a different account. Select a track that won't sync, Get Info (under the File menu), and it will show you the account name through which it was purchased. Make sure you've authorized your computer using that account ID and password.
If it is, and these are new tracks that you haven't played in iTunes, try playing them in iTunes for at least a few seconds and then try synching. Sometimes the authorization doesn't "take" until the track have been played once.
Hope this helps.

I made the mistake of resetting my iPod to factory defaults. Now it will only partially sync to my music library. I continually get an error message saying that certain songs are not authorized for my computer. Any ideas?

I made the mistake of resetting my iPod to factory defaults. Now it will only partially sync to my music library. I continually get an error message saying that certain songs are not authorized for my computer, although they are in the iTunes library on the computer and will play. It's these songs that won't transfer to the iPod. I have deauthorized and re-authorized the computer but no joy. Any ideas?

Hello there DesertRat71,
I was thinking that some of the songs in your library may have been purchased under a different apple id. You have already done the first thing I would have done by de authorizing and re authorizing. To verify this, highlight one of the songs that will not sync over and use File>Get Info. Here is the help menu link for it if you need it help://bookmark='https://help.apple.com/itunes/mac/11.0/help/index.html?localePa th=English.lproj#itns2937'
In the Summary section there will be an Apple ID entry. If it shows something different than what you are currently using then I recommend signing into the Apple ID it shows and authorizing the computer for that one as well.
All the best,
Sterling

TS1389 I restored my computer to factory setting, and then restored all my files. Now some of my songs are not authorized on this computer in iTunes.

"One or more songs are not authorized" except they all are?

I made a play list tonight that I wanted to burn to a CD for a friend. When I went to burn it, I got an error message saying "One or more of the songs in this play list are not authorized on this computer." Apple's help page said I could figure out which songs weren't authorized by trying to play them and that the unauthorized songs wouldn't play...except they all played just fine.
First I tried rebooting. Didn't help. Then I tried removing each purchased song one at a time. Didn't help. Then I removed all the purchased songs. STILL didn't help. Finally I tried burning a play list that I'd made and burned a month ago. That one burned just fine.
So I have a play list now made up exclusively of tracks that I imported into iTunes from CDs, none purchased from the iTunes store, and I'm still getting an error message that says "One or more of the songs in this play list are not authorized on this computer." ***? And more importantly, is there any way I can find out which freaking song is causing the problem without trying to burn each one individually to a separate CD?

Hi,
It seems that DCPROMO did its work without complaints, still the DFSR references remained in AD. You could refer to the article below to clean up the DFS Replication object.

BIZARRE - iTunes tells me songs are not authorized, then says they are???

Purchased several songs & a couple albums. Burned a couple of the albums to CD to use in my car. Whatever songs I burned to CD now will not play in iTunes. Message appears saying +"This computer is not authorized to play "Song Title". Would you like to authorize it?"+ HOWEVER, if I then enter my password to try & authorize the song(s) a 2nd message appears: +"This computer is already authorized."+
Says I need to authorize songs, then says I can't authorize because it's already authorized. End result is I can't use anything I've purchased. What could cause this?

Not sure about the question below, but I got my issue taken care of by de-authorizing iTunes, then reauthorizing it. I did receive a response from Apple within 48 hours as well and they de-authorized all my accounts as well - Apple is apparently aware of this issue and it seems to be isolated to the new version of iTunes (8).

Some Songs are not on iTunes but play on my iPod! HELP!

I have lost random songs of iTunes and it says it can nt locate the song file. But i can play all my songs on my iPod! Please help as i need to listen to my songs though my computer! Thanks!

I've had that problem, too ><; Check your iTunes...Did it make duplicates of certain songs as well? That's what happened to me: I lost random songs because they were replaced with other songs, so I got duplicates O_o;

Can you determine which songs are not authorized . . .

without having to try and play every song?
I've got about 2600 songs and just restored my iPod and there are 10 that did not transfer. It's only a small percentage but it would be nice to know which ones did not transfer.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the discussions, Harsell.
I don't know a way to, but luckily, you've only got 10 that didn't transfer. If you had a hundred then playing each one individually until you came across the "broken" ones might be a pain.

I authorized my new computer and imported my music but most of my songs are not authorized. Did I do something wrong?

Help! I think I did everything I was supposed too, but it didn't work!

Transfer them from the old computer, or use these instructions to redownload them through the iCloud if doing so is free in your country.

IPod touch won't play ANY music, only skips. All music plays when FROM ipod when plugged into iTunes. No, songs are not corrupt, I was playing an album through iTunes from my iPod and for no reason iTunes froze and now I'm having issues with my iPod.

So I was playing an album from my iPod through iTunes like normal, and the album ended. I switched to iTunes view to change to a new one and it said "iPod is done syncing" (I did not choose to sync, nor did anything appear different). I tried to click on a song to play and iTunes froze. I had to restart iTunes and when I ejected my iPod (properly) the syncing sign was still turning on my iPod. As of now my iPod only skips through every song I try to play, but when I plug it into iTunes every song FROM my iPod plays perfectly.
No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this. Everything was working fine before when it decided to do this with very little effort, therefore I would like it fixed with very little effort.
I have tried resycing my iPod multiple times (every time I eject it from iTunes it appears to do so properly [iPod icon goes away] but the syncing icon still appears on my iPod).
I have almost 58 GB of music on my iPod so I'm not interested in starting from scratch. Also a good portion of my music is on a computer I don't have access to anymore so that's out of the question. Since the music seems to be uncorrupted (still plays from iPod in iTunes) I want a way to fix this iPod issue without having to erase anything.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

You are not authorized to make purchases of this InApp in Sandbox at this time

Hello,
Our app is experiencing an unusual bug.
Some users are relating that when trying to do an InApp purchase of our service they are seeing a pop-up with the following message:
We can reproduce this behavior in some test devices we have. We tested on iPhone 5, 5s and 6 (the ones we have) with iOS 8.1, 8.0 and 7.1.
But it is not happen every time. On another devices we tested too, we could purchase with no problems. Also, our revenue on iTunes Connect continues to increase and we can check on our database purchases from the latest zoo version.

The message is showing on the version from App Store with normal Apple IDs (no Sandbox IDs).
Has anyone had this problem or know a solution?

HT1351 Itunes says that 96 of my songs cannot be synced on my ipod since this computer is not authorized. When I authorize it I am told that I have 5 computers. I only have one. please help

When I sync my ipod with itunes i am told that 96 of my songs are not authorized on this computer. I follow the directions to authorize and the message answers that I have 5 computers and this is the only one authorized. I only have one computer. How do I get itunes to sync those 96 songs???

Hi eversonjm,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If you are out of authorizations but only have 1 computer, deauthorizing all computers and reauthorizing your correct computer might be a good idea. See this article for instructions:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
If after deauthorizing and reauthorizing your computer, you are still not authorized for the 96 songs, this article has some steps for seeing the account name that was used to purchase a song, in the event that a different account may have been used:

Sync causes 'some songs not authorized to play on this computer'

When syncing iPod to iTunes I keep getting the message that some songs were not copied because they are not authorized to play on the computer.
How do I determine which songs are not authorized? I have either purchased all of my songs iTunes or loaded them from my CD. Therefore, all should be "authorized"

Diane,
I may have had another ID when I first started using iTunes - I just can't remember - I'll try to narrow it down using the smart playlist that you have suggested. As I'm thinking, I wonder if a disk that my daughter created for me a few years ago as a birthday gift (Dad's Mix) contained music that she had purchased with her account ID on iTunes, could be the culprit. Anyway, as I said, I'll try to whittle it down to isolate the songs that are generating the message. Thanks.
