IDVD is requiring iTunes to authorize songs individually?!?

Took a 5 week trip out West and finally putting together a slideshow. Everytime iDvd comes to a iTunes purchased song, it says this computer isn't authorized to play this song, click and open iTunes to authorize. So I've been doing this with every single purchased song!! My number of authorized machines is not increasing, thank goodness! But, it is pausing iDvd every time. Going on 12 hours now to encode the project (8 slideshows within the project.
Has anyone else encounter this? Is there a simple solution? I authorized iTunes within iTunes, in case the request somehow wasn't fully applying to iTunes, but that didn't seem to have any affect. I plan to run a permissions fix after the DVD is finished, don't want to risk upsetting anything now!
Thanks!

That's interesting! When my project finally finished after I made the first post, I put the DVD in a player and had no sound where the purchased songs were suppose to be, but I did have the music that I had imported from CD at some time or another, and the songs from freeplaymusic.com. Leopard can't come out soon enough (and iLife 07/08), I'm guessing some overlooked incompatibility with iDVD 4 and iTunes 7.
Anyone else experiece this???
I'd rather not have to reimport all the songs I want to use in slideshows, and I'm also wondering now if there will be issues using iMovie 4 and purchased music when I go to burn. I hope not, this is why I did NOT buy a Windows machine, so I wouldn't have incompatibility issues!!

Why is authorization required on previously purchased songs from itunes?

Only some songs are affected. This is and has been my only imac. I correctted permissions in the disk utility with no change. Appreciate any help you can give. Thanks.

Kubota Man,
Sometimes authorization is required if you have reinstalled the operating system. Such as, an Archive and Install, or a restore using the discs that came with the computer.
See the following for more authorization/deauthorization information:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/authorization/
The form at the bottom lets you pose the question to the The iTunes Store Customer Service group.
Hope this helps,

iOS 6 (which runs on the iPhone 5) requires iTunes 10.7, which requires OS X 10.6.8 or higher.
Upgrade OS X on your Mac.

ITunes skips a song. It tells me, "This computer is not authorized to play this song. Would you like to authorize it?" So I enter my password. Then it tells me, "This computer is already authorized." But when I try to play it, it's still "not authorized".

If you purchased the song from the iTunes Store go to your purchase history and re-download it from there. You will not be charged again.

How to list Playlist and ALL songs individually (not by album) like the older versions of iTune

Previous versions allowed you to keep the list of Playlists on the left and List all the songs individually on the right. Now if you're building a new playlist, it puts it on the right and lists the songs by albums instead of alphabetically by each song name. I can't seem to find it in the menus...is this view no longer available?

The main differences between iTunes 11 and earlier versions are the loss of coverflow and ability to have multiple windows open.
In Windows, you can restore much of the look & feel of iTunes 10.7 with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in theAlbum (Grid) view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
With iTunes 11.0.3 and later you can enable artwork in the Songs view from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view
View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) also contains options to change the sorting of grid based views
Select the Songs view and enable the side bar (CTRL+S) and you should find iTunes a little more familiar...

I just downloaded The Rolling Stones Hyde Park concert from ITunes. All songs play, except Street Fighting Man, which I am supposed to authorize on my computer, but after doing so, it still doesnt work. Why and what can I do.

Hi,
Probably corrupted on download. Delete from library and go to iTunes Store > purchased and redownload.

What a pain -on a mac-never had aproblem-loaded a new shuffle with music -will not let me sync itunes store bought songs-will not let me authorize the computer. I have a ipod as well. Is this a block when loading a second device? OR?

In iTunes, do Store->View my AppleID
Click "Deuthorize ALL"
Then, on any computers you still have, do Store->Authorize this computer. If there are less than 5, you will have no problem.
You can only do "deauthorize all" once a year, so in the future, if you ever throw a computer away, remember do to "Store->Deauthorize this computer" first.

Why does my iTunes billing invoice list songs individually when I bought the whole album?

and how do I check I'm not being over charged/ can I change this invoving peculiarity?
Thanks!

Thank you for the swift reply, but do you know why the invoices list songs individually instead of just the album name/price, when I bought the whole album and not one song at a time??

I have MBP 13 late 2011:Will it be able to support a 3tb hardisk?Secondly, if i delete a song from itunes,is that song removed from the mac and is the space freed up?If not then what should I do to free up space when i delete songs from itunes?

Your MBP will support a 3T HDD provided it is formatted correctly and has sufficient power. Most large HDDs require an outboard power source.
When you delete songs from iTunes you will get a message if you want to send it to trash. If you send it to trash, space will be freed up only when you empty trash. An individual song does not consume much space so if your HDD is becoming full, more drastic action s should be considered, such as moving an entire file to an external HDD.
Ciao.

What is the process to reauthorize a single computer once all 5 have been deauthorized? Say I have 1000 songs. Is it a few simple steps or do I have to reauthorize each song individually?

But there's no where where it says "Authorize this computer" Now what?
Have you read the article that Rysz posted a link to? It explains it there!
The only thing you may need is to display the menubar at the top of the iTunes window. Use the CTRL button, CTRL+B and Store is on that menu.

Since I put my music on the cloud, I cannot access it without downloading each song individually. I thought I was going to be able to stream from the cloud without downloading.

Since I put my music on the cloud, I cannot access it without downloading each song individually. I thought I was going to be able to stream from the cloud without downloading. Each download takes over a minute and I have 2000 songs! How can I just listen to my music again without downloading each and every song??? BTW, I purchased the iPhone 5S hoping that this issue would be solved with more memory - it's not. At this point I just want to remove the whole cloud-thing from my phone and go back to only having the songs on one device, no download required except the original iTunes purchase. How do I do this???

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It sounds as though you misunderstood the purpose of iTunes Match. You still need to have the content on the device to play it.
However it's effectively no different than before in that you keep your most played content on your phone but are able to download stuff you rarely play should you ever wish to.
There's no value whatsoever in iTunes Match unless your library doesn't fit on your phone.

How do you delete duplicate songs in your library without having to delete each song individually??

Go to iTunes, select view and click show duplicates. Hold control and A ( select all) and then delete.
Not a good idea! The "show duplicates" feature shows "all" duplicate tracks, but you only want to delete the "extra" copies, not the "originals".
I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this thread for background, including how to delete the extra tracks manually if you prefer.

I am using a 2003 eMac and am running on Mac OSX vs 10.4.11. I amrunning iTunes 8.2.1 (6) and not able to upgrade iTunes on this computer. iTunes is not recognizing music I have purchased and when I try to connect when it request me to I get the following error message:
Cannot complete iTunes Store request. A required iTunes component is not installed (-42404)
Please help.

Is this music purchased back in DRM days? I don't actually have any iTunes music so I can't test with my iTunes 7.5, but I know that without iTunes 10 you cannot even connect to the store anymore. I wouldn't think that would require an active connection to the store all the time, otherwise how could you play music on a computer in the middle of nowhere? Did you do something to trigger iTunes suddenly wanting to connect and check on machine authorization?
