Home share will let me copy music but when I try to copy TV shows it says my computer is not authorized!
We have had home share set up for some time and it works great for sharing music but when I try to copy TV shows into my Itunes library it says my computer is not authorized even though it will then let me copy music. I have try to deauthorize and reauthorize my computer a few times and it does the same thing. Really frustrated as my husband has bought a lot of stuff I would like to use also.
THanks!
You are my hero thank you it worked!!!!!! I was afraid to deauthorize in case I lost everything but I figured I would follow your advice....Thank you so much

I purchased Brave through Walmart with a digital copy. I downloaded the copy but cannot transfer it to mobile devices. It says the computer is not authorized to do it?
Did you check Walmart's terms for video/movie downloads? Do they allow transfers/copying of a movie to another device?

My daughter and I were both on same Apple ID. We are trying to change hers but when we do, it says her email is already associated with an Apple ID but when we try to get the password, it says that it could not be verified. How do we correct this?
Not from your end. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

Cannot home share the game app purchased at iTunes store. Home sharing music works. Home sharing books works. But, when I try to copy the game app, it says my computer is not authorized. What am I doing wrong?
I've been struggling with a similar issue myself and just figured it out. Some of my content had been purchased with an older Apple ID that I don't use any more. When I authorized my second computer, I only authorized it for my new Apple ID, not my old one. When I tried to copy my library to the new computer, many songs, apps, etc. reported the error "could not be copied because this computer is not authorized". It drove me crazy because I knew the computer was authorized and much of my library came over just fine.
Finally I selected some of the problem items, selected "Get Info" from the menus, and saw that they were all purchased by my old Apple ID. I then authorized my old Apple ID on my new computer, and all of my files are copying correctly now.
Would be great if the message said something like "...because this computer is not authorized for Apple ID [email protected]" -

Hey CarlyR_,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues related to iTunes Store authorization. The following resources may help to resolve these issues:

I am the administrator of my MacBook Pro, which I share with my kids. One of them forgot his password, so as the admin I changed it for his account, but when I try to see his account, it says I need to provide the keychain password. How can i get it? I have no idea how to sort this out...
First, make sure caps lock is not on.
You must back up all data before continuing, unless you've already done so. If you need to back up but can't log in, ask for instructions.
If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise*, boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead the instructions on this page:

I'm a first time Mac user and I went to play my music on Itunes out loud and all the music I previously purchased will not play and then a pop up appears saying my computer is not authorized? what does this mean and how can I fix it?
You need to authorize the new computer that youre working with. First hover over the store button at the top of the screen and then select the authorize this computer button then a popup will appear where you have to put in your Apple ID and Password. Hopefully this works for you

Firefox is not open, will not open, but when I try to update or uninstall it says I need to close Firefox first. This is a common problem, as I have seen many posts with the same problem. I don't know what else I can say about it, it is pretty straightforward.

It's trying to download when you are connected via cellular. Turn cellular Off and then connect via wifi.
