  • ITunes says my computer is not authorized when trying to download my purchases?

    Hello,
    My old computer just broke and I got a new one today. I downloaded iTunes and I'm trying to download my TV shows but iTunes says my computer is not authorized? What does that mean and how can I fix it?
    Thanks.

    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 says my computer is not authorized to play videos

    I know this is a problem that Apple is aware of. I have tried several ways and I cannot get my iMac to play the videos I have purchased. I get an error message saying the computer is not authorized, but when I try to authorize it I get a message telling me it already is authorized. I think the only thing I haven't tried is going into the Terminal and following the instructions Apple gives, but I am not comfortable doing that as I know I can mess up the computer if I do it wrong. iTunes will play my music but not my TV shows.

    Hello calliesmom
    Try deleting the SC info folder in the article below and the Authorize your account again that way you are not doing anything in terminal that would make you feel uncomfortable

  • Itunes says my computer is not authorized to play songs on the nano.

    I connected my Nano( 2nd gen) synched it with my itunes and transferred some songs a few days ago.
    Today, I wanted to add some songs I missed but now Itunes is saying my computer isn't authorized to play songs on it. When I try to authorize it (the window pops up for my itunes store password) I get an error from the itunes store. Specifically it says unknown error (-42408).
    What does it mean and how do I make it stop?

    Hello Sesquipedelianne,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Have you upgraded to the latest version of iTunes? This error message was common for people who were just upgrading to version 9, but it was resolved as of 9.1.

    Otherwise, if that is not the case, you might find a few more possible solutions in this older thread.

  • When I try to sync my apps Itunes says my computer is not authorized. When I authorize it it then tells me my computer is already authorized. This only happens when I try to sync apps

    When I try to sync my apps from my computer on to my iphone 4 Itunes says the computer is not authorized. I then authorize it and it tells me it is already authorized. I again try to sync the apps and it will once again tell me it is not authorized. I can sync music just not the apps

    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

  • ITunes says my computer is not authorized but when I sign in it says it is...but won't play purchaces

    I am using a laptop from my home family of computers but when I try to play a movie I have transferred from my desktop, first iTunes says I am not authorized to play this movie.  Then when I sign in to authorize the movie, it says that I am authorized on this computer but I still can't play the movie.  When I try to play it again, the whole routine starts over again.  Suggestions????

    I'm having exactly the same problem. I just tried all the suggestions in the link from Jim and none of them made any difference. Tried calling Apple support but just got bounced round by people who didn't seem to know what they were talking about.

  • ITunes says my computer is not authorized but it is

    Okay, so whenever I try to sync my iPad or iPhone, iTunes tells me my computer isn't authorized. But when I go to authorize it, it says it is already authorized. I've tried turning authorization on and off, deleting the SC or whatever folder like the help page says, nothing works. Has anyone else had this issue and if so can you please share how you fixed it? Thanks.

    Click here and follow the instructions.

  • ITunes says my computer is not authorized to play purchased music

    This is false.
    I've already authorized it. The computer in question is my work computer and the window of opportunity to gain access (to the internet) in order to authorize that computer is few and far between.
    Said computer will play some music I've purchased, but not others.
    Is there SOME way around having to access the 'net in order to authorize this computer? Which I have already authorized.

    Said computer will play some music I've purchased, but not others.
    Is it possible that the tracks that won't play were purchased through a different iTunes Store account? A computer must be authorized to each iTunes Store account used to purchase tracks you want to play. If you Get Info on the problem tracks, it will show you what account was used to purchase those tracks.
    Is there SOME way around having to access the 'net in order to authorize this computer?
    Sorry but no, there isn't. A computer must be able to access the iTunes Store at least briefly to be authorized. Otherwise the only way around the problem would be to burn the tracks to audio CD on another computer (one that can be authorized) and take those CDs to work.

  • HT1918 My old apple ID comes up and I cannot access my iTunes account.  I do not know how to change my account on the iPad.  I have already chant

    My old apple ID is on my iPad, after I changed my ID on my iPhone

    If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

  • Under the tools/options/applications tab Telnet is not listed. I have 2 computers running the same OS and on 1 telnet is listed under the applications tab and on the other it is not. How can I add Telnet to the applications tab.

    This is an issue in both the 3.x and the 4.x versions. On the computer that has telnet listed I have it setup so that when I enter telnet:x.x.x.x it opens a putty session. I have created a bunch of bookmarks using the telnet:x.x.x.x format and exported them to my peers but some have telnet option and some do not. Telnet is enabled on there PC's

    Yes you can. Make sure that domains configured to use different multicast address. WLS uses multicast for communications between nodes in domain.
              although your configuration will work, you could have troubles if you going to execute inter-domain calls between domains/servers with the same names.

  • More than half of the songs I've downloaded recently will allow playback because it says my computer is not authorized.  When i authorize it, iTunes says my computer is already authorized.  But the song still won't play.  What gives?

    How does one fix the problem of iTunes saying my computer is not authorized to play songs I've recently purchased, even though I continue to sign in for authorization?  This is bullcrap.

    Okay, that sounds like the dodgy tracks have been getting damaged during the download.
    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 purchased a song on itunes and when I play it, it says my computer is not authorized. A window pops to authorize my computer so I type in my account info and hit authorize. After that a window pops up saying it is already authorize but still won't play.

    I purchased a song on itunes and when I play it, it says my computer is not authorized. A window pops to authorize my computer so I type in my account info and hit authorize. After that a window pops up saying it is already authorized but still won't play. None of this happens with any other songs on my itunes. I would just purchase the song again but I can't because every time I try to purchase it, the song says "play" next to it instead of "buy." When I hit play no music plays it just goes back to saying my computer is not authorized so I authorize it and it says it is already authorized then I click it again and it says my computer is not authorized. It's a never ending annoying circle. How can I get the song to play?
