No matter how many times I have authorized this computer, I continue to receive the Error message stating I need to authorize the computer. I have authorized the computer over and over and still it will not sync. In addition, the Apps shows I have apps on my fourth screen, but no apps are showing.

I just downloaded an album but one song won't play instead a message that "This computer is not authorized" to play the song. The prompt has a log in and when I log in it tells me the computer is already authorized. What gives?

I just downloaded an album but one song won't play instead a message that "This computer is not authorized" to play the song. The prompt has a log in and when I log in it tells me the computer is already authorized. What gives? Specifically the album is Flying Lotus - Until the Quiet Comes and the song is DMT Song (feat. Thundercat). I purchased the entire album and it even played fine the first listen through.

Hi,
If you are in a country that permits redownloads, delete track and go to iTunes Store > purchased and redownload. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

My macbook pro is already authorized, but a purchased song from iTunes keeps stating that my computer is not authorized to play it. I enter my apple ID and password, upon which a window confirms that my computer is already authorized. Yet the song still won't play and continues to state that my computer is not authorized.

If you live in a country in which you are allowed to re-download purchased music delete the track from the library and the HDD and re-download it.

My computer is authorized to play my itunes purchased songs but it keeps prompting me to authorize one song that I purchased. Once I type in my login and password it tells me that the computer is already authorized but it still won't play the song

im having the same problem so how is this suppose to help

TS1389 What if I keep getting prompted to authorize my computer (only for 3 songs), but my computer is already authorized?

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.

ITunes keeps prompting me to authorize my computer when I try to play a movie I rented. Then it tells me my computer is already authorized and I'm stuck in a loop. I've tried all the troubleshooting options but no luck.

iTunes keeps prompting me to authorize my computer then tells me it's already authorized and I'm stuck in a loop. The troubleshooting options haven't worked. Any suggestions or does anybody have a phone number for iTunes so I can talk to a human being about this?

HT1420 Hi....I have brought a new classic ipod to download my all my purchases. Sadly when I link the ipod to the computer it gives me an error message stating that my computer needs to authorised. The computer is already 'authorised' & music is now missi

Good morning
Having had to buy a new ipod ( something wrong with the drive) I attempted to download all my purchases onto the new ipod.
Then I get this error message saying I need to authorise the computer to retrieve some 100 tracks ....the computer has already been authorised and I am now finding half the albums missing. All tracks were previously downloaded onto old ipod and this computer.
Checked icloud and all tracks downloaded....bit annoyed to be honest...

Also-I tried to use my backup hard drive, but I wasn't able to drag/transfer/send/move any of my muic files onto my iTouch when the iTouch was connected to my computer. I can't figure out why it won't let me do that.
The only thing I can see when I open my iTouch on my computer is my file with photos. I can't see videos, music, or anything else. What's going on?

HT3523 I downloaded the 29.99 version of quick time and when i try to open up the movie file it pulls up a black screen w the sound of the movie only. what is happening? I already paid for the download do i need to buy something else?

I am having issues opening up files. So i installed the quicktime download for $29.99. I go into the file and open it, but all I get is a black screen with sound only. Do I have to download something else so I can open it with a picture? thanks-r

Note that a QuickTime Pro key does not add any additional formats to those included in the free versions of QuickTime Player already available on your system. All a Pro key gives you is editing and export capabilities.
Regards.

HT1420 I replaced my hard drive now cannot get itunes to authorize this same computer because I guess the drive ID is different. What a pain in the butt this system is.

Replaced my hard drive now Itunes tells me I have more computers that authorized.
I cannot deauthorize this computer as it is the one I use all the time and two of the others are long gone.
What a PITA
Thanks

Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
If Disk First aid is unable to complete the repair you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer.

If a small number of your iTunes purchases are affected, delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country. If you get that message for every item, click here and follow the instructions.

When I try to play an itunes purchased movie it says I have to authorize this computer. When I put in my log in information it says this computer is already authorized and will still not play the move. I have tried to deauthorize and reauthorize this computer, delete and reinstall itunes and Quicktime and nothing works; the purchased movies still will not play

I'm having the same problem on my new iMac. First it tells me it's not authorized to play the songs, then when I enter my password, it tells me it's already authorized, but still won't play them. I tried deleting a song and going to the store to redownload it and got charged for it! I've got hundreds of songs, so that's not going to be an option.
In addition, I have quite a few songs from a very old Apple ID, one I forgot I even had, I have no idea what the password was and no way to have the system send me a new password because I no longer have access to that email account.
The Mac I just "retired" could play all the songs in my catalog just fine. This new one won't play the majority of them.
Help!

HT1420 My computer is already authorized, please help!

I keep trying to transfer my purchases, but it says I can't do this until my computer is authorized. However, my computer is already authorized and it tells me this when I reenter my ID. Any ideas on how to solve this?

I have the same problem. What load of BS.
I feel so sorry for people that switched over from PC to mac because they were misled to believe that 'macs just work'.
Imagine someone without a degree in patience and computer engineering ever being able to work this problem out.
All I want to do it sync my iPad with some movies that I bought. NOPE I have apparently authorized more than 5 computers which is ridiculous because I own.... 1 computer. LOL.
Really bored with Apple's paranoia, ego and illogical control.
