Every movie purchase through iTunes fails to transfer to my iPhone or iPad and the message I get is this: some of the items in the itunes library, including were not copied to the ipad because you are not authorized for them on this computer... help?

For a couple months now, every movie purchase through iTunes fails to transfer to my iPhone or iPad giving me the error: "some of the items in the iTunes library, including were not copied to the iPad because you are not authorized for them on this computer". I have read many forums about deleting, reinstalling, de-authorizing and authorizing my iMac through the iTunes store. Many suggestions don't work except to rename the movie to *.MP4 in Finder under the iTunes movie directory. I imagine this is a setting or a bug somewhere... any suggestions on how to bypass having to rename the files in Finder? My research into Google suggests this problem dates back to 2007 or so but it is now more prevalent than ever.
Thanks.

Try:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

Some of the items in the Itunes Library....were not copied....because you..

are not authorized to play them on this computer.
This is what I got...here's my story.
I recently got a mac (absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE it)...and my former pc was in the shop having the lcd replaced...so in my impatience I switched all the songs that were on my ipod to my itunes on my mac...got my pc back and realized there are about 16 songs on my itunes that were not on my ipod...so i plugged my ipod in (on manual setting, configured for windows still) and tried to put those 16 songs on my ipod to move them to the new library and the above message is what I received....what am I doing wrong!
Thanks!

Mind if I please join this issue? I think I have the same problem, but If I need to start a separate thread, just let me know.
I got "...were not copied to the iPhone because you are not authorized to play them on this computer." This just started happened because I had to get a new hard drive for my iMac and did a restore. Everything seems to be fine except this.
When I try to Authorize computer it is already authorized.
This error statement makes no sense because the songs are ALEADY IN iTunes and would need no authorization to be played on this computer--copying them to the iPhone would seem like another issue.
Thanks

Error message: not authorized to play them on your computer

Error: "...songs not copied...not authorized to play them on this comp..."

When I try to transfer my songs to my new iPod I get this message:
"Some of the items in the iTunes library, including xxx, were not copied to the iPod "Bradley's iPod" because you are not authorized to play them on this computer."
Why can't I transfer the songs? I paid for these songs. What's wrong? How do I fix this?
Thanks,
Brad

I am having the same problem. How do you re-authorize the songs, if you don't mind sharing?

Not Authorized to play them on this computer

I am getting an error message when I go to sync my IPod that says- "Some of the items in the ITune library were not copied to the IPod "HP Administrators IPod" because you are not authorized to play them on this computer.
What gives? This is the same computer I have always used. I noticed too that all of the music and movies I downloaded from IPod are no longer on my IPod, but still on the computer.

I have this problem every time I upgrade iTunes to its latest version. I have to reauthorise each account I have with the iTunes stores. I have accounts in both the USA and in Australia. It's was a serious pain until I figured out the problem.
It would be very helpful if iTunes could carry over the authorisation info when it upgrades itself.
Blessings,
Fran

I have many thousands of songs in my itunes library. Unfortunately, most are now pointing toward .jpgs instead of the m4a files in my itunes library. Is there anyway to fix this without reimporting all the files into itunes from scratch??

OMG...I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. Since my computer is a goner, I don't have any other way to access all that music.

How do you add the name of a song to a downloaded track not reccognized in the iTunes library. I copy songs from my own CDs and want to properly identify them instead of the current "Track 02". Thanks

Right-click the track in your library, Get Info, go to the Info tab, and type in the correct information. When you are done, click "OK."

I got a new iPod nano 7th gen., but when I tried downloading a video from my iTunes library a message popped up that said: Some of the videos in your iTunes library cannot be copied to your iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod.

I got a new iPod nano 7th gen, but when i tried downloading a video from my iTunes library a message popped up that said: Soem of the videos in your iTunes library were not copied to yor iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod. What should I do?

I kept having a similar problem - 3 out of the 10 videos I had on iTunes wouldn't sync. They were in the right format and I KNEW they worked on my iPod because I'd RECORDED them on my iPod. I finally figured out what to do! Go to the movies in your iTunes library. Click on one that does not sync. Click on "Advanced" at the top of iTunes and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version". Once that's finished, be sure you delete the old version so you don't keep getting the error (or have 2 copies of the same video) and sync. This should eliminate the problem. At least it did for me!

HT1349 some songs on msome songs on my itunes library were bought with an old email address. I hy itunes library were bought with an old email address. I have since cancelled said email address. I would like to know how to listen to these songs again. Tha

Hello. Certain songs in my itunes library were purchased a few years ago with a now discontinued email address. I am not able to listen to them any longer because I have update my itunes library, and purchased songs from itunes with my current email address. Any suggestions will be sincerely appreciated. Thank you.

I should mention that, for the first problem, I do make sure that my new tracks are stored in the folder where I told iTunes that my music is in. Also, when I say the cataloging of my library stops short of cataloging all my songs, I have tried leaving the computer unattended for days (my computer's sleep mode is disabled). It always stops before cataloging all of my music regardless of whether I am doing something else while iTunes is cataloging, or if I just let iTunes be the only program that's open during the cataloging process.

I keep getting a message from Norton Security that there is an intrusion that is being blocked. The intrusion is always accompanied by this message 'the attack was resulted from /device/harddiskvolume2/programfiles/mozillafoxfire/foxfire.exe. Why is this

I keep getting messages from Norton security that there has been an attack that has been blocked. It is accompanied by the message that 'the attack was resulted from device/harddiskvolume2/programfiles/mozillafoxfire/foxfire.exe Why is this happening so frequently? Also I was getting a message every time I closed my browser window that Firefox had crashed (even though it had not), and it wanted to send a message to Mozilla.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Two days ago

I did some searching and found http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/repeated-quot-intrusion-attempt-quot-alerts-from-Norton-AV-2010/m-p/232823
Maybe that will help? Did you come across a website that said was scanning your computer for viruses? Those websites are really attack sites.

I keep getting a message that pops up about every 15 minutes that says server connections interupted. the internet works fine and is fast. What does it mean?

It means Apple have done a lousy job with Lion or ML and TC networking.
Read this thread from the last post backwards.. there are a number of work arounds discussed.

not all work for all people everywhere.. some work sometimes for some people.

Why do I keep getting a message that says combining pdf files has encountered an error?

Tried several times to get it done, but same message. What gives? I need to get these done now, not "later" like the message says.

Hi David,
I apologize for the inconvenience!
Are you still having trouble?
I'd like to assist.
Kindest regards, Stacy

"Some of the Audible files in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPhone because you are not authorized to play them on this computer."

Has anybody got this message? iTunes says this when I sync my iPhone4. It does not say what songs were not copled or whether it is my iPhone 4 or my iMac (2011) 21" that it is referring to. Both devices are authorized in iTunes 10.4 (80). How do you fix it? Running OS 10.6.8

I keep getting error messages when trying download a tv show in iTunes

I have been trying to download this for two days now, and I keep getting various error messages. The latest have been -3256, -42, -3271. All telling me to check my network connection (which is working just fine) or telling me that there are too many files open (even when iTunes was the only thing open). I've restarted iTunes several times, and I've restarted my computer twice as well, but it still comes up. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it? I really would like to watch this video I'm downloading.

This could be an issue with security software (firewall, anti-virus, etc) on your computer conflicting with iTunes. Either disable the software or configure it to properly run with iTunes:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106439
Basically, you will need to allow ports 3689 (TCP) and 5353 (UDP) access in your security software.

All i want to do is sync my iphone 4 with my imac g5 can anyone help

Click here and download the software. Unless otherwise noted, a device running iOS 6 requires at least Mac OS X 10.5.8 and iTunes 10.6.3 to be synced from a Mac.
