IDVD asks repeatedly to authorize computer to play audio from iTunes

Everytime I try to add an audio file from my iTunes library to my iDVD menu, it asks me to authorize the computer. So I authorize the computer but it never adds the audio. So I drag the audio clip again to where I want it to play, and it asks me to authorize again. And again and again. Any ideas what I can do?
Thanks for any help!!

Can I assume that the audio file in question has been downloaded to iTunes rather than copied from a CD?
What you see is one of the more irritating side-effects of DRM copyright protected tracks.
The workaround is to burn that track to a CD, then import the track from the CD back into iTunes and save it as an AIFF file.
That Audio track should import into iDVD without trouble.

    Should be able to go into your sound preferences and choose your output device, you can also try downloading Airfoil and try that, it's a pretty cool app.

  • Authorising second computer to play purchases from ITunes

    I now find that I cannot play songs purchased from ITunes on second computer, this has just happened recently. These were purchased using my old E-MAIL address and it keeps asking me to authorise using the old e-mail and  password for that account which I cannot remember. Apple cannot send me an e-mail to reset my password to that address as it is no longer in use.
    It won't let me authorise using my new ID and password. Can anybody tell me how I can solve this.
    Many Thanks

    Found out the bad news awhile back that I can no longer purchase from the iTunes store because I am using the Jaguar operating system which will not take iTunes 7. OK, got over that. Then today I tried to move a song purchased at work on a newer computer to my old one. Surprise, surprise. Won't even let you do that. Is there a way to rip the M4P file so I can play it at home?

  • Airport Express no longer playing audio from iTunes (airtunes) or Airfoil

    My Airport Extreme recently died so I set up a new wireless network with my 2wire modem from AT&T (Uverse). The new wireless network is fine - laptop connects just fine, Apple TV hasn't had any issues, Netflix through my PS3 hasn't had any problems. However, I'm having problems with the Airport Express in my bedroom. It shows up in airport utility with a green light. It has a green light on the unit itself. It shows up in the multiple speakers pop up in iTunes and shows up in Airfoil's list of available speakers. The problem is whenever I connect to it (from iTunes or Airfoil) it plays audio for one second, then nothing.
    It worked fine with my old network set up. It doesn't seem to be a connectivity issue as I can see it with no problems and things connect to it fine. Is it possible that it just happen to die at the same time that the Airport Extreme died? So when I set up the new wireless network, it was dead? I'm on 10.7.4.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    some times the electricity blinks in the house... have you tried restarting both units... just unplug it for ten seconds then plug back in.

  • Help! I just got a new MacBook and I cannot figure out how to authorize it to play my purchased iTunes music.

    Hi!
    I just got my new Macbook today (!!!) and I love it, but I can't figure out how to authorize this computer to play my purchased itunes music. I don't have any other computers authorized to play my purchased music, as I have de-authorized my previous computer. How do I authorize this new one? I know the FAQ section says to go to Store > Authorize computer, but I can't seem to find where this is located? I've never owned a Mac before.

    Silly me... I didn't realize that the top of the screen changes as you change windows (unlike windows computers). Thank you so much for the help. I really appreciate it!

    All media and apps should be in iTunes on the computer.  Simply select the content desired to sync to the device and sync it.
    FYI, backups have never included media or apps.

  • Audio from itunes doesn't play well in imovie HD 6

    I have quicktime 7.1 and imovie HD 6 and my audio from itunes plays only for a few seconds and goes out and doesn't play anymore throughout the movie. I'm only using photos and no transitions at the moment. It worked completely fine before upgrading to ilife 06. What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks

    Hello Tia,
    iMovie has quite an issue with Music Store files. See Karl Petersens post: Stutter in iMovie 5 & 6 — causes and workarounds
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=534252&tstart=0
    What you are looking for is workaround No. 5: Burn iTunes Songs to Audio CD
    Generally it is recommended to work with AIFF files in iMovie/iDVD. To convert your iTunes music go to Preferences > Importing and choose AIFF Encoder from the drop-down menu. Now all music will be imported as AIFF. In addition to that you can ctrl-click existing files and choose "Convert to AIFF" from the pop-up menu.
    Note that this will duplicate the files, so after conversion you'll have for example one m4p and one AIFF with the same name.
    hope this helps

  • Apple TV plays music from Itunes for 1 second only

    The Apple TV sees all my music from Itunes and I can select any of the tracks but when I play one the music only plays for 1 second before stopping.  Sometimes I'll hear the 1 second of music, sometimes not.  I've reset all of my settings on the Apple TV.  Music plays from Itunes out of my laptop when I have the device set to computer. If I select Apple TV as the device, the song wont play and just hangs, but on the television bottom left corner it will show the track information as though it was going to play for one second before it changes to a blank treble clef image labled "untitled".  Any ideas?

    If I play it from the ATV Menu : The Apple TV sees all my music from Itunes and I can select any of the tracks.  When I play a track the music plays for 1 second and then stops.  Sometimes I'll hear the 1 second of music, sometimes not.
    If I play it from Itunes via airplay : The song wont play at all and just hangs, but on the bottom left corner  of the TV (that the apple tv is connected to) it will show the track information (Album image + song name) as though it was going to play, but one second later it changes the track information to a blank note image labled "untitled" and no music.

  • Apple TV 3gen won't play content from iTunes, Apple TV 2nd gen works fine same network

    Hi.
    Recently, after all the most recent Apple updates, my Apple TV 3rd gen won’t play content from iTunes on my Mac. I have an Apple TV 3nd gen  on the same network and it works fine. This problem started after the recent round of OS X updates( I am running 10.9.2 and iTunes 11.1.5. As my Apple TV3 was actually new and I took it to the Apple store where they kindly gave me a new one but the same thing happens. The Apple TV 3rd gen will play content through the onboard clients like Netflix, iTunes, Bloomberg.
    The Apple TV3rd gen won’t play anything form my computer’s iTunes library, whether or not it was purchased from the Itunes store or home movies from iPhone etc. I have restored the device a few times to no luck. I have even switched routers, same problem.
    Any thoughts ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Home sharing was configured and turned on. I can actually see all the content on my Mac. When I trry to play anything i just see the white spinning wheel on the black background.

  • Air play gives audio from itunes (sometimes) but not browser

    UPDATE:
    Well, the nice folks at AJA were kind enough to send another card out.
    It just arrived today. I swapped it out with the older card, and then -  - - - - the problems still persist.
    The computer revved up into turbo mode, and there are still a few glitchy things happening with some basic functions in OSX. (I even did a re-install before putting the new card in).
    Checked / updated the firmware / etc.
    Starting to think this is a MAC issue, but dont' know how to proceed.
    Thanks so much for the help already, but I'd sure love to see this problem resolved once and for all somehow...
    Ideas?
