IPad - computer is not authorised error

Purchased 3 series of the same program from Itunes. Series 1 copied but series 2 & 3 won't copy to ipad 1, error message is that the computer is not authorised. Had the same problem with the apple tv and had to buy a tv show from the apple TV to solve, but can't solve for iPad.

I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.

I have the opposite problem transfering some but not all music from computer to ipad. Can anyone help?

Interesting. Maybe it is more of a DRM issue than an Apple ID ownership issue. There is actually an iTunes Support section here on the discussion boards. If you wish to continue troubleshooting, you might post your question over there and refer to this discussion thread. You can also contact someone in Apple iTunes Support.

HT1386 I have changed computers and when I try to sync my apps, I keep getting a message saying that the computer is not authorised to sync the apps even though I have authorised the computer.

Hi, I have just set up iTunes in my new computer and have 'synced' my iphone, however, my apps have not synced, I keep getting a message saying that this computer is not authorised to sync the apps even though I have authorised it. I don't know if the issue is the fact that I had to set up a new apple ID? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

The "The connection was reset" error message can be caused by a bug fix for the BEAST (Browser Exploit Against SSL/TLS) attack that the server doesn't handle.

On synching my iphone for purchases it says my computer is not authorised, it is what do I do

On my recent synching with my iphone 4 when itunes reaches step 3 to transfer purchases, in this case ibooks, it states authorise this computer. I enter email address and password then receive a reply this computer is authorised I click ok immediately this computer is not authorised appears. I then have to cancel the request to authorise the computer which cancels the synching. It now means I can no longer access my ibooks from my iphone. Can anyone offer a suggestion please.

Hi and welcome to the WD community.
Try to see if perhaps you are connecting the drive to a surge protector and it might not be getting enough power, try to connect the adapter directly to a power outlet on the wall to see if you get a different result.

HT5085 computer says your computer is not authorised to play my purchased music

You can authorise your iTunes account on your Mac via the Store menu at the top of iTunes e.g

HT1420 cant copy an itunes film onto my ipad says the computer is not authorised how do i authorise the ipad?

i'm trying to sync my ipad having selected a few films to add fromm my itunes list. it refuses to add the films to my ipad says the comuter is not authorised, how do i authorise my ipad as the imac is obviously authorised?

Hi there, to authorize a computer, you open up itunes, and at the very very top lefthand corner, there will be a little window. Click on that, and it will present you with a list of options. From there, you go to the third option down, which says "Itunes Store," hover over it with your mouse, and it will give you another set of options. From there, you can see the two options, "Authorize" an "Deauthorize computer. Just click on "Authorize," enter in your apple ID and password, and your computer will be authorized! Hope I helped, ~Samuel

The article linked below details a number of steps that can help prevent iTunes from errantly requesting authorization.
