I cannot sync any songs. It tells me, my computer is no longer authorized for purchased items. although it is authorized.

I first called apple and they patched me to a technician who ran a test and determined that I had a virus. He gave me some price quotes and who to call. After my conversation with him, which I knew was BS btw, I immediatley called Geek Squad with whom my computer has a warranty through after they installed virus software on my new laptop (4 months old). I had a VERY long online session where they ran several virus test and found nothing. Although I was VERY happy that my computer didn't have a virus, I still had the problem of my itunes not working. After several hours, he made sure that all of my apps were down loaded, and then restored my iphone to factory settings, and sync my device. It worked perfectly and all and I mean ALL 240 apps were downloaded back onto my iphone along with my music and all of my tones. When asked why my itunes was acting in that manner the answer that I got was,"...apparently you had a correct file some where in itunes and everything had to be reset". Regardless, everything is back to normal and I don't have to get a new phone or delete itunes from my computer. Hope this helps!

    this problem is faced on synced new songs, videos or picture.. plz say the solution about this topic

    Hey nani91191,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you may simply need to authorize your computer with your Apple ID:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Authorize a computer to play iTunes Store purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12303
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Authorize a computer to play iTunes Store purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12511
    Authorize a computer to play iTunes Store purchases: Choose Store > Authorize This Computer.
    If you are using a Windows PC, you may need to turn on the menu bar to access the "Store" menu:

  • My mac pro says "It can't be synced because this computer is no longer authorised for purchased items that are on this iPad.

    But when I de-authorise and then re-authorise it says it's already authorised and then the same window pops up saying  "It can't be synced because this computer is no longer authorised for purchased items that are on this iPad.
    Battled all day.
    Removed the SC folder,
    Checked iTunes log in is correct.
    Checked Itunes is the same country.
    Restarted both devices.
    Tried different usb ports
    Any ideas?

    I found the solution to this problem
    the apple service helped me actually
    the best and the esiest way is to solve this problem  :
    create a new account (as an administator recomended) 
    Bonjour servises must be enabled ( go to control panel > administartive tools> sevices> Bounjour services (change the category to large icons if you dont see administartive tools )
    install itunes
    sign in
    authorize
    SYNC
    it must sync normally
    but if the meesage pops up that points on a particular items that could not be synced ( to ur itunes because you are not authorized for this items ) REMOVE THEM
    creating a new user account shows the items wich dont let you sync your iPhone
    after you REMOVE those **** items that were not authorised , you can go to your old user account and SYNC it as old kind time
    was having this problem 2 weeks , and nothing helped except this was. not deleting the SC Info folder, now copying apple folder to some other mobile divce folder
    REMEMBER  the problem is in your iPhone , it is about the items that are in your iPhone
    Thanks to Apple service
    for anyone who needs othe heple you r welcome to ask
    will hepl you with a pleassure cause i know how I felt this days:)

  • HT1420 Itunes says my iPhone5 cant be synced because the computer is no longer autorized for purchased items that are on this iPhone.  My PC is authorized and my iPhone synced before I reloaded Windows.

    Guess that was a title.
    My itnes says my iPhone5 can't be synced because the PC is no longer authorized for purchased items on my phone. It worked before Win-7 was reloaded.

  • Trying to sync a new iphone 5 to my mac to get my music over it keeps telling me that the computer is no longer authorised for purchased items but it is . I have tried de authorising and then redoing it but nothing works

    Hi all I am trying to swap my music over from my mac to phone but not having any luck . Although my mac is authorised it keeps saying that its not. I  have de authorised it then re done it but still the same . Not up to doing anything drastic and have heard some horror stories about loosing all contacts while messing about with back ups and cant afford to have that happen to me . Ideas anyone ??

    Hi leefromwoodford,
    The following article will tell you how to transfer purchased music from your iPhone to the your Mac -
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Specifically -
    Transferring purchases
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod has your purchased content from the iTunes Store, you can transfer the content to a computer that is authorized for your Apple ID.
    Note: This option only works for content you purchased from the iTunes Store (as opposed to content from other sources, such as CDs you may have imported). For content you did not purchase from the iTunes Store, synchronization occurs in one direction only. This means your content can be copied from a computer to your iOS device, but cannot be copied from your device to a computer.
    Open iTunes.
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.
    Enter your Apple ID and password. Then, click the Authorize button.
    Connect your device your computer. If it is synced with another iTunes library, you may be asked if you want to "Erase and Sync" or "Transfer Purchases."
    If that alert appears, click Transfer Purchases.
    Important: Clicking Erase and Sync will delete any existing content currently on your device. The content would then be replaced with the content that is on the computer.
    If you were not offered the option to transfer purchases:
    After connecting your device to the computer, its icon appears in iTunes. Click the icon.
    From the File > Devices menu, choose "Transfer Purchases from 'Your device name.'"
    Note that the computer must be authorized for the Apple ID under which the purchases were made.
    You may also want to download the music directly from the iTunes store, rather than using the iPhone. See this article -
    Download past purchases

  • THE IPHONE CANNOT BE SYNCED BECAUSE THIS COMPUTER IS NO LONGER AUTHORIZED FOR PURCHASED ITEMS THAT ARE ON THIS PHONE

    Hi I have a macbook pro (late 2011) running on Yosemite  and an iPhone 5s running iOS 8.1.2 and I have never had a problem until tonight. I wanted to sync my iPhone to add mew music but upon syncing I keep getting a pop up message saying "THE IPHONE "  " COULD NOT BE SYNCED BECAUSE THIS COMPUTER IS NO LONGER AUTHORIZED FOR PURCHASED ITEMS ON THIS PHONE" and tells me to go to the store tab on the top and to authorize this computer and every time I do it says computer is already authorized. I will also mention that my iTunes account is the only account that is used on my Mac and it is the only account I've used on my iPhone. Ive synced them plenty of time with no problems. I have never came across this message before and now my iPhone won't sync. I have been online for an hour now looking for solutions but I haven't found any that successfully worked. Ive rebooted both my Mac and iPhone with no success. ow for some reason when I plug my iPhone in it does not even charge but my Mac reads it and it shows up in the iTunes store so I tried syncing it again 1 more time snap it just gets stuck on step 1. I must also say state that is did successfully back up but absolutely will not sync. Can anybody please help me out without resetting my iPhone. Thanks

    Thanks Gail but ive tried that as well as logging oht and back into my accounts on my iphone and mac but I still get that message. I actually found a solution by unckecking my synced music playlist and clicking sync to remove it and then reclicked on my playlist to sync and it actually synced notmally and I got all of my new songs so I wanted to test it again so I clicked on sync again and the message once again popped up until I did the un-syncing and re-syncing again. I guess I will keep doing that in the future even though its annoying but its better than resetting my iphone.

  • The iPod could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPod.

    Full message that pops up
    "The iPod could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPod.
    To authorize this computer for items purchased from iTunes Store, choose Store > Authorize This Computer."
    I am unable to sync my music, applications, movies, etc. to my iPod touch. The only way I am able to bypass the message that pops out when I try to sync (the one in the title) is by clicking "Apply" instead of "Sync". To do this, I make changes to Apps, Music, or Movies (...) and the buttons "Revert" and "Apply" will replace the button "Sync".
    My problem is most likely not due to using many accounts because I only have one and it is the only one that I use. I do not share accounts with my family members. Still, I have tried everything here, nothing has worked for me. Since I don't often listen to Podcasts, I have deleted them from my iPod. I have no idea why I am unable to sync and no one seems to have the same problem as me.
    Thank you for your help in advance.
    Details
    iPod touch, 5th generation
    iOS 8.1.2
    iTunes 12.0.1.26

    Purchases
    Pre-ordered album "Froot" purchased from the account that is authorized to my computer
    Podcast "Not Too Deep with Grace Helbig" also purchased from the account that is authorized to my computer

    Try backing up to iTunes and restoring from that backup

  • IPad could not be Synced because it is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on iPad

    I recently purchased an IPAD AIR and synced ir with my comuter. 14 days later I try and SYNC it and I get a message " The IPAD could not be synced because this computer is no longe authorized for purchased items that are on this IPAD. The apple id's are the same and only 2 devices authorized. Meessage states to go to STORE and Authorize Computer. When I do I get a Message it is already authorized

    The problem appeared to be a Pending Request on the IPAD for the new ICLOUD option to share Keychain. I cleared that up and it appears that fixed the issue. Thanks for your help
