unable to import apps getting this computer not authorized, but music etc. will import

With me it transferred everything but music and videos. Also it required me to enter my email passwords again (I have several accounts setup). Every time I went to the music tab, it said it couldn't find the file with the name of my 3gs phone name. So now after it installed every app it had stored in my itunes (many I deleted off the phone), I am trying to start fresh and see if I can just add movies and music manually and be glad contacts, email accounts (sans passwords), and the other settings did carry over.
Were any of those email accounts POP email accounts?? I don't think emails that are locally stored on the iphone are saved when you backup.

  • I am trying to sync my music from my computer to my iphone 6 but my computer keeps bringing up an error box "computer not authorized" but it is authorized. Please help!

    I am trying to sync my music from my computer to my iphone 6 but my computer keeps bringing up an error box "computer not authorized" but it is authorized. Please help!

    I have a pc and am trying to get my music through my iTunes on my computer.  I didn't have any trouble syncing my iphone 5S but can't get it to sync with my 6. OS 8.1.3
    I open iTunes on my pc, plug in my phone, then I click on the picture of a phone on the upper left hand corner of my music library. Then I get a box of options with sync at the lower right.  I have clicked "automatically sync when phone is plugged in" and have also tried to do it manually by checking specific songs and albums.  Every time I hit sync the box pops up that says, "The iPhone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPhone.  To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes store choose Store>Authorize This Computer."
    I took those steps and a box pops up that says "this computer is already authorized."
    I have my recently purchased music on my phone that came through the cloud when I restored my phone. But I want my old music from CD's that I put on my iTunes library in my computer.  I had all of this music on my old phone.
    Thank you so much for your time!  I'm obviously not very good at this!

  • ITunes says this computer is authorized, but it doesn't take

    Just moved my stuff to a new iMac G5. Of course, I couldn't play my Music Store downloads, so I provided my apple id and password and authorized my computer to play them. iTunes confirmed that my computer was now authorized. However, it still won't let me play the music! When I try to play it, I get the same "not authorized" message again. This happens whether I log out and log in again or restart. I keep repeating the authorization process, but it doesn't take.
    Any suggestions?

    Okay, my problem is solved.
    It turns out I had TWO iTunes accounts:
    [email protected]
    and
    username (without the @mac.com)
    I had thought that I only had one account, the mac.com account.
    After iTunes support told me that I had two accounts, I logged in using the other one and was able to authorize my songs.
    Hope this helps someone else!

  • ITunes won't let my new computer dl my purchased songs, says this computer not authorized any ideas on what I need to do?

    If the computer's running Mac OS X, move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store, and choose Authorize this Computer.
    If the computer's running Windows, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

  • Itunes keeps saying this computer already authorized, but will not sync with iphone ?

    Itunes will not sync with my IPhone 5s any longer.  It keeps saying that my PC is unauthorized.  But, when I go to authorize, it says it's already authorized, but of course, will not sync even though it's logged in and authorized.  ????  *** ?

    Usually that means you have content, such as apps or media, on the mobile device that was acquired from Apple under a different Apple ID than the one you're using with iTunes. The only way out is to remove that content, or else to sign in to the iTunes Store with the other ID.

  • Can't load apps. Says computer not authorized

    I didn't sinc my iPod touch with my laptop for about a month and when I did, it erased most of my apps from my iPod.
    I have tried to load each one separately, but it tells me that the same message as when I try to do a group load, that my computer is not authorized.
    I have deauthorized and reauthorized my computer, the same one I originally used to purchase these apps, and still tells me that it's not authorized.
    I have tried downloading iTunes again and it still doesn't work.
    I am able to load new apps to it though. I says I have 2.2 and each time it asks if I want to load 2.2.1. It doesn't matter which option I choose, it's the same issue.
    Same goes for my music too.
    Someone please help. I am going in circles here and getting quite dizzy.
    Thanks

  • THIS COMPUTER NOT AUTHORIZED, EVERY SONG

    Every Song I try to access of what I have already purchased I get the dumb message that "this computer isn't authorized, please sign in to authorize."
    Well, I'm already signed in but I play the dumb game and then it says THIS COMPUTER is ALREADY authorized
    If its ALREADY AUTHORIZED why do I need to do this stupid b.s. authorizing my computer.
    And its one song at a time. If I need to do this with each selection I bought then its not only stupid its outrageous.
    Anbody?

    There is something wrong with iTunes. I have the same problem...a quick search and I am seeing a lot of postings out there....there validaation software is not working..
    There is workaround out there that requires you to delete an SC folder...but it does not work.
    very frustrating.

  • Missing Apps, says computer not authorized but it is - iPhone & iPad

    Eight apps (including Kindle Reader, Geocaching, IBird Explorer, etc.) mysteriously dissappeared from both my iPhone 3gs and iPad2. When I tried to return the apps from my Windows Vista computer I got the message "You are not authorized for them on this computer." I followed the instructions to authorize my computer and got the message "This computer is already authorized". I deauthorized the computer then reauthorized it but the results were the same. I have  removed the SC folder as instructed and reauthorized the computer. It didn't help. I turned the User Account Controls off and back on as suggested. That didn't help. Everything suggested I've tried over and over again with the same results. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I had the same problem. I had to log into itunes> on a panel on the right side of the store>click itunes plus. On there is a list of your itunes that have DRM issues you need to buy. If you look in your imovie; when you pick a song, look at the little icon. You will find a lock on the corner.
    I bought the tune i wanted for my movie for .30 cents. Then It was free. Total cost for my song $1.30.
    I guess from now on if I want to use it for imovie> pay 30cents more.
    This might work for you. I did for me.

  • I can't sync my new purchases, saying computer not authorized, but when I try to authorize it says incorrect passcode when I know is correct. Already unistalled and reinstalled. help?

    I am having trouble syncing my ipod nano with my desktop.  I purchased new songs that show up on my desktop but cannot get them to sync to my nano.  The computer keeps giving me the message it is not authorized.  Then it asks for my passcode which it says is incorrect.  Which how can that happen when I can still go into Itunes and purchases songs with the same passcode?  The computer just keeps looping to "not authorized" and "incorrect passcode". But I was able to see my computer is 1 of 2 computers authorized but does not seem to be recognizing this. So,  I called apple support and they had me unistall and reinstall itunes but I am still having the same problem.  Does anyone have any suggestions how to get pass this?  Any help would be great thanks!!

  • Unable to drag and drop mp4 movies into itunes but the file will import and play using home sharing

    Strange problem with my brothers MacBook.
    The movie files were converted to mp4 format ready to be played on an iphone and I imported them into my iTunes on an iMac with no problems.
    Files were also saved onto a flash drive which I passed on to my brother.
    My brother was unable to import files by drag and drop and also by "add to library", we even copied and pasted files from the flash drive to the desktop but that also didn't work.
    Using "home sharing the movies imported and played with no problems.
    Any ideas why this is happening?

    This appears to be a long-standing bug:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634720
    and the accepted workaround is stated in comment 11.
    Oddly, it's possible to do the reverse, i.e. drag multiple eml files from Explorer to a TB folder.

    Try to Deauthorize your computer and the Authorize. See if that helps.
    You can also Login to your iTunes Account an Deauthorize all the computers. Open iTunes, then iTunes Store in the Sidebar/Login to Accounts/Apple ID Summary/Computer Authorizations: Deauthorize All

  • Why do apps not sync -- it says computer not authorized.  I tried unauthorizing my computer and then reauthorizing and I tried deleting the sc file.  It still says the app is not authorized on this computer.

    why do apps not sync -- it says computer not authorized.  I tried unauthorizing my computer and then reauthorizing and I tried deleting the sc file.  It still says the app is not authorized on this computer and I'm unable to sync this app that I previously had downloaded.  Any help pls.

    Did you download the app via that same iTunes account id ? Have you tried re-downloading it directly on your iPad (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519) ?
