IPhone 4s/6.0 "computer no longer authorized" error message loop.

Seen similar questions to mine before but none exactly, and none resolved. Recently started getting "can't sync, this computer no longer authorized" error message; try to reauthorize and says "this computer is already authorized". Can't get out of loop and can't get certain apps to download. Checked most of other similar posts and none address this specifically.

No. You must purchase them under your Apple ID. Anything purchased under someone else's Apple ID will present this same issue. You cannot share items in this way.
Give the above see the following:
Sharing Stuff From Different iTunes Accounts (or Computers)
Here's how to do so using different computers:
Transfer what content you want to the separate iTunes library on each computer. To transfer content from your library to another library do the following. We'll assume this is between husband and wife separate accounts and different Apple IDs.
Launch iTunes under your wife's login;
Sign her out of iTunes, then you sign in;
Select iTunes -> Preferences -> Devices -> Disable auto-sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected;
Connect your phone, DO NOT SYNC;
Select Store -> Authorize this Computer (only have to do this once);
Select File -> Transfer Purchases (all of the purchased content on your phone will be transferred to your wife's library);
When complete eject your phone, sign out of iTunes, sign your wife back in.
You can now sync whatever content you want to your wife's phone. Just remember all updates to apps obtained using your account must be done while signed in using your account: sign wife out, you sign in, update apps, you sign out, sign wife in, sync her phone.
This way you can share content (permitted under the EUSLA) and still maintain your separate logins. Do the same on your computer if you want to share content from your wife's library.
Just load whatever content you want to share on each others phones, transfer the content, then delete it from the respective phone if you don't want to keep it there.

  • HT1420 Authorized/No longer Authorized error message

    I have authorized my computer but whenever I sync I get an error message that says "This computer is no longer authorized for apps installed on your iphone." It then asks me to authorize or it will delete apps from my phone.  When I click "Authorize" it tells me that "this computer is already authorized."
    I went into iTunes and de-authorized all computers, then re-authorized this one but still get these errors. Any ideas?

  • Brand new iPad fails sync due to "computer no longer authorized"

    Hello all,
    I have a brand new iPad 64GB that I can't sync to my existing iTunes library.  Every time I try, I get an error that says, "The iPad could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPad."  In iTunes, I go to Store > Authorize This Computer, and that dialog says that my computer is already authorized.  Then I try to sync again and end up with the "no longer authorized" error again.
    So what is in the default load of a new iPad that iTunes doesn't think I've paid for?
    The same iTunes (for Windows, version 11.1.5.5)  has no trouble syncing my iPod Touch, iPod Nano, and several Shuffles. So why is it barfing on the iPad?
    Any advice greatly appreciated,
    BD

    May be some help here.

  • Just updated to IOS 7 and two issues:  First when I connect my iPhone to my computer I get this error message:itunes was unable to provider data from sync services".

    Just updated to IOS 7 and two issues: 
    First when I connect my iPhone to my computer I get this error message:itunes was unable to provider data from sync services".  I'm not sure what this really means...
    The second issue is when I try to select "Manually Manage Music"
         The iPhone "My iPhone" is synced with another iTunes libary on "MY-PC".  Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?  An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time.  Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
    So... I don't want to do that, but I do what to be able to Manage my music.  I'm not sure what it means by being synced to another iTunes unless it means to an older version of itunes?
    Anyone have any ideas?

    I cannot address the sync services error right now, but the error that you receive when you change from sync to manually manage music is what happens when you change. Once you change to manually manage music, it erases all of the music and will only put the music that you want on the phone, content that you manually drag over to it. See if this support document helps you out. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535

    Check to see if you anti-virus software running, that will at times interfere with the connection with the Apple server.

  • When i open my i3tunes on my computer i get an error message telling me that iTunes has stopped working..the message is as follows...Microsoft Visual C  runtime library Program C:\program files (86) iTunes\iTunes.exe  R6025 -Pure virtual function call..

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    Hi hannijin,
    What version of the Mac OS X do you have on your computer?  The version of iTunes that you can install is dependent on the operating system that you have.  For example, the current version of iTunes requires OS X version 10.7.5 or later.

  • "The iphone software update server could not be contacted" - error message recieved when i try to update to 5.1.1 via itunes , what can i do ?

    The iphone software update server could not be contacted" - error message recieved when i try to update to 5.1.1 via itunes , what can i do ?

    Dear Lawrence Finch: 
    If you're still around I hope you see this message, as you're the FIRST person (after reading every link, thread, other sites, apple support articles, etc.) to mention JB may be causing this iTunes popup window to REPEATEDLY occur:
    "The iPhone software update server could not be contacted."
    No, I did not hack anything (are you kidding?  Grannies don't hack!), but I unknowingly bought a 3Gs iOS 3.1 from ebay that was not advertised as JB.  Since it is like brand new, I was going to keep it (because my old backup is iOS 3.1.2) & was trying to simply restore & update, which (I thought) would remove the JB (that's what everybody says at forums, etc).
    Instead, after "erasing all settings/content" (inside phone's Settings to get the prior person's name out of there), it is now stuck in White Apple Mode.
    Put it in DFU/Recovery Mode & connect to iTunes but that stupid above message keeps appearing & I have already read/tried EVERYTHING to get rid of that message, starting with: 
    1.  OLD phones (3Gs) with OLD iOS 3.1+ should work FINE with OLD Mac (iBook) with OLD OSX (Tiger 10.4.11) with OLD iTunes (9.2.1[5]).  So that can't be the problem.
    Here's all the other things apple & others say to check which I already checked:
    2.  USB ports are FINE, both work FINE, so that's not the problem.
    3.  No "extra USB devices" are connected, ONLY a mouse, & then the phone (yes, I tried it w/o the mouse connected but that didn't help).
    4.  No "usb hubs."
    5.  Latest iTunes for this OSX has already been DL'd (iTunes 9.2.1[5]).  If you know of a newer one for this OSX, please advise.
    6.  No antivirus software.
    7.  No security software.
    8.  No routers; only 1 comcast modem, period.  Wired Ethernet.
    9.  No wifi gadgets, no wifi at all.
    10.  No firewalls, except what is on iBook in the SHARING/System-Prefs. section.  It's turned OFF.
    11.  Did the hosts/terminal thing sudo nano whatever it was.  There were only 3 lines, NO gs.apple.com:
    xxxxx local host
    xxxxx broadcast host
    xxxx local host
    Oh, & btw, ATT officially unlocked this phone (after I filled out their online forms) but I can't finish the process via iTunes to get their Confirmation that "Device is Now Unlocked," so I can use T-Mo.
    So that's it.  If you have any other ideas of what to do from here, since from your comment, maybe it's the stupid JB on this phone that is causing the problem (???), please advise.
    Many thanks!

    And what exactly? You have neitehr provided proper system info nor the exact error message nor told us anything about your documents. If you are referring to PSD files suddenly registering as damaged, you might wanna check the forum. This has been discussed quite a bit. and of course you might want to read some primer on the big Internet why people use versioning/ incremental saves and backups to avoid critical files being lost...
