I have songs in my iTunes Application that will not play. I keeps saying that this computer is not authourized to play name of song would you like to authourize it. The problem is its the old account I had and that has been changed. How am I going to authorize these songs when this account no longer exists.
I posted about this yesterday -- it happened to me, and the solution was incredibly simple. An Apple tech guy had me delete my SC Info Folder, located on my XP in Application Data.
Here is my post:

Here is the link about the SC Info Folder (4th down):

It wasn't every song, just a few of them. A nightmare to figure out what to do, but it was solved upon reboot. -
Have imported from iPhone to iPad 2 before but now am unable to,,, saying that this accessory is not supported by iPhone,,, but it's an apple camera connection kit
Have you tried resetting your phone and/or your iPad? Hold down the Home and power keys until the silver apple appears. Might help. Can't hurt.

My Ipod on my Iphone wont play and I have no volume bar. I can hear when the phone rings and I can hear people talking when they call, it seems to be a software promlem that I dont know how to fix. I have been having this problem and I have realized that when the error comes that this accessory is not optimised for iphone, my Ipod wont work. I have never had the air play button and my software is the current editon.
Try #2 and #3 in link below. If neither work, you most likely have a hardware issue.

Accessory not made for iPhone! It in the iPhone dock!?
My iPhone has a problem when it is put on its dock and ONLY when its put in the dock it occassionaly comes up with the "this accessory is not made for iPhone..." message.
This has happened 3 times over a period of 7 days- it does not occur everytime the phone is in the dock and it has never occurred any other time.
I have managed to get it to happen twice tonight but half pushing the phone into the dock BUT I can't get it to happen everytime - it came up about 2 times in 100 attempts over 4 hours to see if I could replicate it.
I have not restored it as it is so random I am not sure that restoring it will even fix it - although I will if it gets worse.
I have another iPhone dock I am trying and it has not come up in that dock but again it may not appear for hours or days as its so random!
There are no other problems with the phone. I don't know what to do!
Any suggestions? Thanks.I was in the shower when I received a call. I turned off the shower, blotted my ear, and tried to keep the phone dry. I got to my headset (corded one that comes with it), and plugged it in to be safe. All of a sudden I start getting the message you're talking about. I also had had the ringer turned off the day before. I have no idea what caused it, or if any of that was something above that started the issue. I wasn't getting the clicking sound when I turned off the keyboard, and that stupid message kept popping up.
I tried turning off the phone and resetting it, I unplugged and replugged the headphones, and blew the phone's dock connector, earpiece, and headphone jack. I turned ringer mode on and off with the switch. None of this seemed to work.
Then I plugged the phone in DIRECTLY to the computer, just with the cord and no dock. Be-deep. The sound I loved to hear. Sleeping the phone with the top right button now clicked again, and MOST importantly, I haven't gotten the message in the last 10 minutes!!!!!
I'd love to know if any of those situations I listed above was something you had done before this occurred. And I'd love to know if it works. -
Rain + Accessory is not made for iPhone = Need advice!
Just got caught in a really heavy rain shower and now my iPhone is intermittently showing the Accessory is not made for iPhone message. But I don't have anything plugged into it!
I've turned it off, taken the cover off and placed it somewhere dry (it didn't actually get wet at all, just a bit damp).
Any experiences of similar things out there & suggestions?I had the EXACT same thing happen to me. It's so annoying and I don't know what to do! I hear there is a way to fix it, but your phone needs to be jailbroken.. which mine is not. My bottom water sensor is totally red, so I know taking it to the apple store isn't going to do anything for me. If your sensors aren't red or pink... you should take it in!

I need help because I recently purchased my Macbook Pro and I am trying to open a book that I purchased in Ibooks on my sons computer. We share an icloud account and my computer keeps saying that my computer is not authorized to open the Ibooks. How do I authorize my computer to be able to do that?

did you use your sons Apple ID..? If so... those items are tied to that Apple ID.
If your issue is with the Authorization of your New Mac...
On your Computer... Open iTunes...
If you're using iTunes 11 click on the box icon in the top-left corner to see the " Show Menu Bar "
and from the Menu Bar select Store...
From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.
When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.

I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries).
Thank you for your help! - I did try looking for all available specs about Keynote on the Apple iTunes website, and found nothing that could help me. HELP!1
Close all iWork applications
2
Uninstall Keynote; this must be done with an application remover tool to delete the installation properly. Appcleaner is known to work correctly for this purpose, it is free and can be downloaded from here: Appcleaner Download
3
empty the trash
4
shutdown the Mac and restart. After the start up chime, hold down the shift key until the apple logo appears
let the Mac complete the start up procedure completely, it will take longer than usual as the hard drive is being repaired
5
Reinstall Keynote by logging into the Mac App Store using download / install -

Hello Keaton44,
I recommend taking a look at this article named iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1408
If you need to re download the movies you bought from iTunes you can do that free of charge with this article.

I'm experiencing a similar problem with an LG Flatron monitor which my MBP no longer recognizes. I've tried installing all the updates listed above but have not been succesful. Everytime I get a message saying that this software is not supported on my system. Can anyone tell me why I can't install the updates?
Hello Philly,
I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?) touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.

Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
Restart the PC first.
If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:
Can you launch your iTunes now? -
