did you use your sons Apple ID..? If so... those items are tied to that Apple ID.

Trying to sync already paid for songs onto my iphone 4s but it says that my laptop is not authorized to sync purchased songs. I have already authorized it so I have no clue what to do. Help please.

What version of OS X do you have on the computer? Also, is the iPhone being recognized in iTunes?

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.

HT1386 I have changed computers and when I try to sync my apps, I keep getting a message saying that the computer is not authorised to sync the apps even though I have authorised the computer.

Hi, I have just set up iTunes in my new computer and have 'synced' my iphone, however, my apps have not synced, I keep getting a message saying that this computer is not authorised to sync the apps even though I have authorised it. I don't know if the issue is the fact that I had to set up a new apple ID? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

The "The connection was reset" error message can be caused by a bug fix for the BEAST (Browser Exploit Against SSL/TLS) attack that the server doesn't handle.

I have songs in my iTunes App that will not play. It keeps saying that this computer is not authorized to play would you like to authorize it. I would but its asking me to authorize an account that was changed. What do I do????

I have songs in my iTunes Application that will not play. I keeps saying that this computer is not authourized to play name of song would you like to authourize it. The problem is its the old account I had and that has been changed. How am I going to authorize these songs when this account no longer exists.

I posted about this yesterday -- it happened to me, and the solution was incredibly simple. An Apple tech guy had me delete my SC Info Folder, located on my XP in Application Data.
Here is my post:

My computer is authorized, but everytime I try to watch a movie, it says that my computer is not authorized.

When I reauthorize and press play, it pops up saying that I am still not authorized.

Have you authorized on the correct account? Is there a chance you've changed apple IDs recently? Or perhaps that you use more than one to buy media?

ITunes says that my computer is not authorized to make changes to my ITunes library

I tried to download an album that I had previously purchased from ITunes. It is listed in my ITunes library. But ITunes states that my computer, this computer, is not authorized to download my albums. How am I able to get the authority I need for my computer to be able to take this action.

Hi Shneg1,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can use these steps to authorize your computer for iTunes purchases:
Open iTunes on the computer you want to authorize.
Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
You might need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
If your Apple ID uses an expired MobileMe account, you can still use it to authorize your computer.
You can find these steps and more information on authorizing your computer here:
Authorize your computer using iTunes
If you've followed these steps and your computer still isn't authorized, these links may help:

I need to deauthorize a computer or deauthorize all computers.
All the best,

Ever since updating to IOS5 my iPhone will no longer sync with my iTunes on my computer. It states that my computer is not authorized to sync with my iPhone yet it is authorized. My "Music" folder on my iPhone is now showing as completely empty.

Hey guys. Can you please help me? My iphone is not showing that I own ANY music anymore. It will not sync at all with my Itunes ever since downloading ios5. It states my computer is not authorized but it is...... I had no problems with my ipad, all of my music transferred just fine. I have no idea what to do now with my iphone except maybe a restore???
You all are much smarter than me. ;-) Can you help? Thank you.

Guys, I found another user and what he said to do worked!!! I have copied the information below:
This was 1 of the things that happend to me too, the other one was that at the bottom of the itunes page were it says all the memory info, it marked that I had over 3gb of other memory wich I didn't.
Anyways what I did was to unmark the calendar, contacts etc. ( so that they wont sync with the computer ), pressed apply, then I marked all of them again, apply again and for last I pressed Sync wich is at the bottom right coner by the apply botton.
I'm not sure that had anything to do with it but it worked, my music appeard both of my itunes playlists and the ones I bought in itunes. Also the other memory dissapeard and it's all good.
I'm not sure this will help you but thats my 5 cents, if the problem continues its better to call customer service and ask for a technician.
Hope your problem gets solved. Have a nice day.

Why is iTunes repeatedly saying that the comp is not authorized to sync with my iPhone despite having repeated the steps to authorize it??

iTunes does not sync with my iPhone; saying that the comp has not been authorized to. It suggests that i authorized it by going to Store > Authorize This Computer. I did exactly that, and it still refuses to sync.
I'm not able to sync my music, videos, photos, etc as a result.
This occurred after i had synced my iPhone to another comp in another location recently.
Please help!

iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

HT202213 When I have downloaded and paid for music several time the song will not play, saying that my computer is not authorized. When I follow insturction to authorize the computer says it already authorized and song or songs will not play...... Help.

Authorized music purchased will not play says unauthorized to play and when you follow instructions to fix the issue says authorized...

If only a few songs on an album are doing that, 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.

I pre-purchased an album and now 2 of the songs will not play. I receive an error message saying that my computer is not authorized to play, but when I authorize it, it says it is already authorized. What do I do?

Please help me. I have already read the tips under the support and nothing has worked.

If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music...
Delete the Song(s) and re-download...
See Here > Download Past Purchases

If not... Contact iTunes Customer Service

I bought an album on iTunes, but one of the tracks says that my computer is not authorized.

The rest of the songs work just fine, and when I go to authorize my computer, nothing changes. I would like to avoid having to buy the track twice, but I can't seem to get it to play. Is there anything I can do?

If music redownloads are free in your country, delete and redownload it. If not, click here and request assistance.
