How can play songs when I keep getting asked to authorize a computer which is already authroised?
I am using iTunes on my PC and it is an authorized computer, as is my husbands iPhone.
lately, I have been purchasing songs but some of them (not all) are prompting me to authorized my computer to play. I put my password in etc and it says my computer is already authorized but it still wont let me play.
The songs seem to download perfectly on my husbands iPhone.
Subsequently, I have paid for songs I cannot listen to!
I have downloaded the updated software for itunes but that does not seem to have made any difference.
Any advice and help appreciated.
Thanks

That suggests the tracks are damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

HT1206 I keep getting asked to authorize this computer But to an id that is no longer used
I can not play the music on my computer that was down loaded under an old ID that has not been used for six years now, this started with 10.9.1 Maverick
Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID

After upgrading iTunes I keep getting asked to authorize account to play songs purchased with a very old hotmail account (10 years) I don't have anymore and can't recover the password. How can I authorize my songs again? I tried to sign in to hotmail again and it says i don't have an account, but when I try to create a new one with the same name, it says one already exists.
When I try to recover the password from Apple, it of course wants to send an email to the account I can't get into, and when I try to do the security questions, it says my DOB is incorrect. How can that be wrong?! I am pretty sure I know my exact birthdate. Now I can't listen to a bunch of my music.Contact iTunes support here -> https://expresslane.apple.com/ContactOptions.do

I recently purchased a song on my iphone. When I synced my phone to my computer, I was prompted to authorize the computer to play the song, which I did. It did not compute and thus when I try to play the song in iTunes on my Macbook Pro, I keep getting prompted to authorize the computer. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it? I also cannot play the song now from my iPhone. I even tried re-downloading it from the iTunes store and that did not help.
That suggests the track is damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:

I purchased a whole CD from iTunes and can play all but 3 songs. I keep getting prompted to authorize my account to play these 3 songs. But when I enter my apple ID and password, I get a message that says my computer is already authorized. It keeps cycling around and won't let me play the 3 songs. Anyone else ever have this problem or find an answer?
As Niel says...
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.
You may also find it helpful while downloading to select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.

How do you download when you keep getting error 7 messages?
how do you download/upgrade itunes ? I have tried downloading from the web page and automatically download off computer. I keep getting error 7 messages.
What can be done?So, the article suggests this -
Configure your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
Did you go to the next security software link, update the time and check the ports?
An easy quick fix you can try without running throuh the security software article, is try restoring from another computer or uninstall the security software on your computer. -
after doing the recovery, I am getting message that firefox is running and I can't get a browser up. Have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, even in safe mode. All cookies out. have rebooted several times. all to no avail. I can't reset it if I can't get a browser and find no button on your page to reset. Can someone tell what to do?
Note that using System Restore can cause your Firefox installation to get corrupted because not all files are restored (only files in a white-list), so be cautious with using System Restore.
*You may lose data in the Firefox profile folder like .js and .ini files.
*You may need to (re)install software that was affected.
In case you need to reinstall Firefox then you need to delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling to make sure that all files get replaced.
You can find the full version of the latest Firefox 25.0 release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
*http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html -
Firefox used to start up fairly quickly, but now it loads an additional more complicated tab, which has greatly slowed down the start up process. How can I eliminate the loading of this time waster?
See these articles for some suggestions:
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols

How to edit pdfs when you keep getting error message (14)
How to edit pdfs - I have a pdf I created to make a certificate - I am naturally trying to edit that for another person - ALL of these keep giving me the same message - error reading this (14). Even when I DO manage to get one to open and let me edit it, then saving it doesn't work, and sharing it gives me a BLANK one, despite having just filled it all in. I am ready to chuck adobe out the door. It's taken hours off my day (and Life.) Help?
Thank you for trying to help. I got a graphics whiz to look at the certificate I'd made; he told me to just use the arrow point icon at the top to access and change the name field space and the date field space. Seemed easy, was grateful. Of course I tried it, only to find when I tried to save it or share it via email, which is in fact the point of this whole silly program and file, for me, it saves as either blank fields (that I just filled in) or as some layered blank of the certificate itself. I could jump out the window. This is the simplest stupidest task I could ask a program to do - change text - and this is somehow like asking Nasa to go to Pluto. Please for God's sake someone tell me what to do with this to make rudimentary changes in a pdf.

Birthdates entered into the calendar become multiple events. In one case it has repeated itself over 200 times. I have manually deleted these events at least 3 times and they continue to reappear. Any ideas how to correct?
One can delete it from one's computer. In the finder go to homeuser, movies, imovie events, delete the footage.
Then reopen iMovie and see if that helps.

Everytime I try to open some photos it opens with a black exclamation mark. Ive tried the options and command thing and did all but nothing will restore my photos
Then try the next one:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. -

Any one of the steps listed there should help you get to the bottom of your issue and resolve it for you.
