IPhone won't sync new apps-I'm not authorized on this computer???

Hello,
Everything with the update went well, bought/downloaded applications from iTunes, hit sync & got the message that I'm not authorized for them on this computer. I have to be, don't I? I remember when activating the phone that it did that... I think. Please help, I want to use my new apps.
BTW, I've tried resetting the iPhone by holding down the power & home buttons for 6 seconds & I've restarted my G5.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Just solved it. Double clicked on one of the new applications from within iTunes, it asked for my password to authorize this computer, clicked sync & it's syncing now.
Hope this helps others that might have had the same problem.

    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.

    No, iTunes never says an iPhone is not authorized.
    This is occurring on a computer, correct?
    Is the computer authorized for the account the media or apps were acquired with?

  • Why do apps not sync -- it says computer not authorized.  I tried unauthorizing my computer and then reauthorizing and I tried deleting the sc file.  It still says the app is not authorized on this computer.

    Did you download the app via that same iTunes account id ? Have you tried re-downloading it directly on your iPad (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519) ?

    I just got a Touch 32GB yesterday and ran into the same problem. I have two PCs in the house that I can sync my iPods on, but I normally use one that DOESN'T have an internet connection, so that the one that does is free for others to use ... a great argument and tension solution, btw.
    Anyway, I hooked up the older "iTunes" PC to the net for a first-time sync with the Touch, and ran into this problem. First it kept detecting the Touch as an unidentified iPhone, then I couldn't sync my classic either. Then I found a post here about how when multiple USB ports running off same USB controller seem to screw with the Touch/iPhone syncing.
    So I disconnected all but 2 of my USB 2.0 slots (the Touch & the Portable HD with my iTunes Library) and now it's working perfectly. I don't know if this will solve your problem, but it might be worth a try.

    Hello Bobbie,
    Have you authorized your iTunes library yet to play and sync your iTunes purchases? To do this, head to the Store drop down menu and choose Authorize This Computer.  Then enter in your iTunes store account credentials and then try resyncing your iPod.

  • ITunes says, "not authorized on this computer" when syncing purchases

    I purchased applications and an audiobook from the iTunes Store on my computer. I then tried to sync these to my iphone with iTunes on the same computer. It gave the error message that these items could not be synchronized because they were "not authorized on this computer". My iphone is the computer that is not authorized.
    I had the reverse problem going from applications purchased with iTunes on my iphone to back them up on my computer. This time, my computer was the one not authorized.
    Both iTunes accounts (iTunes on my iphone & iTunes on my computer) are using the same Apple ID.
    How can I get iTunes to sync purchased items with my iphone?
    Thanks!
    Heather

    Choose Authorize Computer from the Store menu in iTunes and sync the iPod again.

  • Since I downloaded iTunes 11, I get a message when syncing my iPod that some of my songs were not copied because they are not authorized on this computer,  I go to Store Authorize This Computer, a message pops up telling me that this computer is already.

    Since I downloaded iTunes 11, I get a message when syncing my iPod that some of my songs were not copied because they are not authorized on this computer,  I go to Store> Authorize This Computer, a message pops up telling me that this computer is already.

    So I am unclear, did you purchase these songs or import them from a cd?
    If you imported them and still have the CD try importing them again and see if they work the delete the others.
    Or if you purchased from itunes re-dowwnload and see if they work. Maybe they are corrupted files and this should resove it.

  • Song won't play because is is not authorized on this computer, but then try to authorize it and it says it's already authorized

    I have purchased a song from the same computer on itunes that my library plays from. However this certain song is grayed out and will not play.  It says the song is not authorized on this computer, but then I try to authorize it and I get a message that this computer is already authorized. Any ideas?

    That suggests the track is damaged.
    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • IPod Touch 4G won't sync new apps on 2nd authorized computer, but WILL sync music, podcasts, etc.

    Hello.
    Everywhere I've read about apps not syncing to the iPod touch while using iTunes on a second authorized computer have mentioned that they could sync nothing to the device. Yet I have a different problem, one where I have no problem syncing new music, podcasts, pictures, etc., and only new apps refuse to sync to the device.
    I recently purchased a new iPod Touch 4G. My computer being away for repairs at the time that I bought it, I synced only podcasts, apps, pictures, and video to the device using a friend's computer under a different Apple ID. When I first synced it, I authorized that computer with the device, and it mentioned you could sync the device with up to 5 computers, so I figured I would have no problem when I got my own computer back.
    Having now received my computer back, I connected my new iPod touch to my own iTunes under my Apple ID and authorized my computer as the second authorized computer. These are the only two computers I have ever synced the device with.
    I copied my music library, more pictures, and more podcasts to the device with no problems, and they play/show on the device no problem. Also, I can still access and use all the content previously on my iPod.
    I have downloaded a few new free apps that I wanted to sync to my iPod using my computer, but when I go to sync them to my iPod, they won't sync to the device. I have downloaded all the apps I had originally put on my iPod using my friends computer so that I would receive updates for the apps automatically. I have not tried to sync these, though I have (or iTunes at least is telling me I have) synced any updates that have since come up for the apps already on my iPod.
    I have tried clicking and dragging the new apps from the apps tab over to the device tab, and iTunes shows them syncing, and to the best of my knowledge, shows that it has finished syncing them. It also shows that it has completely synced all the new apps when I try syncing on the apps tab under the device tab (the one that shows up when you click on the tab for your iPod, and is next to Summary, Pictures, Video, etc.). I have all the boxes checked off, and the boxes next to all the apps are checked off as if they're on my iPod, but they don't show up on the screen display next to it. When I click and drag the new apps over so they appear and click "apply," iTunes shows that it has completed the syncing process, but the apps won't show up on my iPod, and disappear from the sceen display on the device apps tab the next time I sync my iPod.
    I have the latest version of iTunes, and have downloaded all updates for it. My iPod's less than a month old, so I don't think there's any updates for the iPod itself.
    I also currently don't have the ability to sync over wi-fi, or have wi-fi access on my iPod at home, though I could set it up if it would fix the problem. Right now, I'm only syncing my iPod using usb and iTunes.
    I would prefer, if possible, not to have to restore the iPod to factory settings, and begin anew. However, if this is necessary, any help on how to restore the iPod and back it up would be much appreciated.
    Any help you can give is awesome.
    Thank you for your time.

    Hey, I'm probably too late and you may have already solved it but here's a solution. In iTunes go to Edit then preferences and then click on reset dialog warnings. What happens is when you first sync your ipod, you receive a message saying something like transfer?and you've probably selected "Do not show this message again". I don't really know why but iTunes assumes that the apps on your iPod are already on your computer and therefore need no transferring.
    After you've reset it, the same message should pop up about transferring. As long as you don't click don't show, you should be good to go.

  • IPhone won't sync with apps

    Hey all! I've got an older generation iPhone, and I want to sync some of my new apps, namely Pocketpedia and Stanza. The trouble is, both directions state that I have to use a "sync" button that should appear, but it does not.
    My iPhone is currently connected via the doc and pluged in directly to the Mac. Please don't tell me the sync operation can only be wi-fi, because a) I don't have a wi-fi connection at home, and b) that would just be silly.
    ANY help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

    Mayhaps I should've been a bit more clear on my problem. My bad.
    It's not Syncing the iPhone that's the problem. I get the sync button and what-not. The trouble is, many of my apps (namely Stanza and Pocketpedia) do not sync via this method.
    When I said "the directions stated a sync button should appear" I meant within the Stanza and Pocketpedia applications. iTunes sync works fine - it's just other apps that don't seem to sync with it that is my problem.
    So, anybody else run into this?

  • Outlook and iPhone won't sync new notes

    First of all, I have SHUT OFF iCloud Notes sync as per other threads on this topic.
    A couple days ago my Phone (iPhone 4) was syncing notes properly with Outlook 2010, now it won't.  It doesn't seem to recognize that there is new information.
    I've tried deleting and re-adding my notes, I've tried removing any notes that didn't have text in the top line of the note,  I've tried changing the Note on my iPhone and syncing with Outlook as well as the reverse but both the phone and Outlook go back to the old note!
    All I've been able to find in threads are suggestions shared above - are there any others I can try?
    Thanks in advance.

    have you tried manually syncing notes?
    make some notes, and pick a one or two to sync and see what happens
    try restarting the phone, make a note, and try syncing again.
