ITunes 7 has "unauthorized" all of my iTunes store purchases!!!

iTunes 7 won't play any of the music that I have bought from the iTunes store! If I try to play them or move them to my iPod it pops up an error saying, "this machine is not authorized...". I have chosen the AUTHORIZE COMPUTER feature from the STORE menu and it now says my music is authorized for 2 computers, but it won't let me play them because it says they are unauthorized!!! What a crock of bull$h!t. I'm so fed up with this crap. If anyone can help, then please do. I'm tired of f'ing around with this. No wonder so many people prefer to steal music. At least they aren't hassled with this authorization nonsense.
MacBook Pro 1.83 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

me too! all songs i purchased from the iTunes store and ONLY AFTER i upgraded my iTunes/installed the latest version.
what the **** is going on? i didn't even make more than one copy of these songs to backup on my external drive.
in addition, after i first installed the update, some message popped up about how many machines iTunes is working on -- it's never been more than my computer.
HELP!!!!

  • Synced new ipod to itunes, now missing all but itunes store purchased music that is already on my phone

    Synced our new ipod nano today to itunes. I don't know what happened but now all but itunes store purchases are in the library, my playlist is gone as well as all the music I had downloaded from my CD's. The iphone 5 still has everything on it but not on my computer. Frustrating!!   Now I'm scared to sync my phone, thinking I may lose all of my library off there as well. How do I get my library back on to my computer so I can transfer that music to my ipod?

    Look into iTunes Match, a service from Apple that uploads your music in itunes to the cloud (not icloud) so you can download it to other devices.
    Try googling "itunes match"

  • HT201272 Why all my previous downloaded apps (free or paid) suddenly not showing up on the iTunes store "purchased" section.  Every time I select "purchased", the next screen shows "no purchased app available for downloaded"?? Please help!!

    Why all my previous downloaded apps (free or paid) suddenly not showing up on the iTunes store "purchased" section.  Every time I select "purchased", the next screen shows "no purchased app available for downloaded"?? It is the same on my iphone4 or ipad 2!!  Please help!!

    Dear Metal Wheels and King Penguin.
    I have to actually same problem today 23.10.2012. For an example I have only changed billing methods and have bought hundreds of apps but I remember clearly that I bought for an example ,,Wikipanion Plus'' and ,,OPlayer'' which is now HD OPlayer and I did not see them in purchased items, neither ,,not on ipad/iphone'' nour ,,not on my computer'' and I check in both my computer. I confirm hereby that I took the chance to re-buy these two Apps again through the same account but I got the message ,,As you have bought the previous version on this account you will get this update for free'' so I clicked yes and I got them both. This doesnt only proof that I have purchased them before and purchased items in iTunes Store has some lacks to fix but also it proofs that I also bought them through that specific account as I had to confirm the buying process. In my opnion this is not a thing which Apple should be relaxed with as its very important that powerusers and regular consumers can trust and rely on doing business and to shop via iTunes. I have a lot of expensive Apple Hardware and for me this is a stepping stone and a serious test on the circle of trust. If this cant be fixed I cannot recommend others to trust the store.

  • HT1918 Is there a way to transfer iTunes Store purchases or an iTunes library from one user to another?

    Is there a way to transfer iTunes Store purchases or an iTunes library from one user to another?
    Historically, I have my own laptop and my 8 year old daughter has a laptop as well.  I also have an iPad and iPhone.  In the past, I have managed all devices with the same apple ID, and used my laptop as the main library, storing all music, apps, video, etc.  I then  just selectively copied things to the other authorized devices, so my daughter's laptop has a copy of her music under my apple ID.  Now she has her own iPod touch, so I would live to move her music and apps to her own iTunes library with a name I create for her on her laptop and iPod.
    Is this possible without having to repurchase all of her media?

  • My latest iTunes store purchase

    My latest iTunes store purchase shows in 'Purchased' but not in my library. Any ideas??

    Thank you but didn't fix.  I did all of those things.  1. there is no 'show itunes in the cloud purchases' in the store preferences.  2. the purchased quick link only shows a few purchases in movies.  3.  When I go to the store on my Ipad and the Apple TV everything shows.  So it has to be something on the PC and the latest download for Itunes.  Because it's not showing up on the store purchases on the PC but does on the Apple TV and the Ipad.  At least I figure I haven't lost them.  I'm baffled as the icloud hidden question doesn't show up on either the store purchased or in the Itunes preferences.

  • Older iTunes Store Purchases Won't Play Completely in iTunes or on my iPhone

    I'm on a Mac using iTunes 10.5.1 and an iPhone 4 running iOS 5. I recently had to restore my computer (including my iTunes library) from a backup, and I've run into a problem with playing some of my older iTunes Store purchases both on my computer and on my iPhone. When I play them in iTunes or on the iPhone, older purchases (from, say, 2006) will stop about one minute from the end of the recording, while newer purchases (within the last year) will play all the way through. The files themselves don't seem to be corrupt -- I can play them all the way through in Quicktime, just not in iTunes or on my iPhone.
    My computer is authorized on my account, although the "Account Name" associated with the file (in File | Get Info) is an old e-mail address.
    Any ideas? I would like to be able to play my old purchases in iTunes and on my iPhone.

    I had a similar issue, my 2nd Gen ipod shuffle that has been working fine for years did not show up in Itunes (I got a Windows message saying my USB device was not recognized).  This issue started after I installed the latest version of itues, 11.2.0.115.  I found this and it solved my problem.

    Go to step 2 Restart the iPod Service.
    I just stopped the ipod service and then started it again, now my shuffle shows up in itunes just like it used to.

  • Why do I get a black screen in front row when watching some iTunes store purchases? esp Cars 2

    We bought Cars 2 a few months ago from the iTunes store. The movie won't work in Front Row, we only get a black screen (except for the blue Front Row controls at the bottom) although the audio comes through just fine. The annoying part is all of our other iTunes store movies work fine in Front Row. Just Cars 2 is broken. I don't think that it is an authorisation problem because it plays okay in iTunes, Quicktime, even via airplay to an appleTV or via Home Sharing to our iPad.
    The movie is only standard definition so I am guessing that it is not an HDCP issue; I understand that there is only HDCP on HD movies. We are playing it on a Mac Mini (core 2 duo) on a Sony Bravia via a VGA connector.
    After a little bit of complaining, apple let us download the movie again in case the file was corrupted, but unfortunately the same problem with the new version.
    The computer did have Perian installed at one point, but uninstalling and restarting made no difference.
    I have found lots of reports of movies with missing picture in Front Row but these are all ripped videos, never with an iTunes Store purchase.
    Apple won't refund our money as the purchase was more than 60 days ago by the time I gave up troubleshooting and reported the problem.

    Yeah! Problem solved: It's a QT issue.
    Cause: Mac Update Software downloaded a faulty QT.
    Solution: Download QT from Apple's QT site.
    Great to have the Video back

  • How can I stop my iTunes Store purchases automatically going onto my iPhone?

    How can I stop my iTunes Store purchases automatically going onto my iPhone?
    I've downloaded several thing, including Christmas songs, but do not want them on my iPhone anymore - but no matter what I do, every time I sync my phone, all my purchases revert back to the old names (purchased names, ie. "The Blue - EP" when I have renamed them to "The Blue") and then come up on my iPhone. Despire finding the song on my phone, swipping it to delete, it'll reappear later on.
    I have also set up that only songs in a created playlist are to be on my iPhone, (these songs are not on it), yet they always appear.
    How can I ensure the downloaded files DO NOT change names and stop going onto my iPhone every time I sync up?
    Thank you.

    It looks like you're trying to play a track bought from the iTunes store (or does it happen with other songs too?). Make sure you are logged in with the account the track was bought with.

  • Unable to view iTunes Store purchase history

    Hi All,
    I'm unable to view my iTunes Store      purchase history. When I try to do so from within iTunes itself I am taken to a seemingly blank store page, which seems to have no content according to VOiceOver, Apple's built-in screen reader. I've previously done this without a problem, so am rather annoyed.
    Is there any alternate way of requesting a refund? Could I call and do so?
    THanks!

    You can use the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support (generally unless there is a problem with an item e.g. app doesn't work as described, film doesn't play etc. then purchases are considered final) : http://reportaproblem.apple.com

  • ITunes Store purchase confusion!

    All - if you make a purchase in the store on once PC will you lose it if you get a new PC and you sync you iPhone? I know you lose any CDs you have imported but I wasnt sure about iTunes Store purchases? Thank you!

    You will need to copy those purchases from the old PC to the new one before you dispose of the old PC. Otherwise you will indeed lose the content. You can transfer over your entire iTunes library so that you don't have to import your CDs again. While a bit old, these user tips still apply:

  • ITunes Store Purchase Playback Issues since 9.0.1.79 Updgrade

    Since I upgraded to version 9.0.1.79 last week, all my iTunes Store purchases are warbled when I try to play them in ITunes. CD burns work fine - just my 1000+ purchases won't play properly. I reapplied update but no better. I'm afraid to sync my iPod and I'm getting angry. Anyone with similar issues?

  • ITunes store purchases won't play on iPod

    iTunes has just told me that my iTunes Store purchased music cannot be synced to my iPod because I do not have authorisation to play them on my iPod. I can play them from iTunes on my MacBookPro, sure my iPod is the same account?

    I see what happened.... when I upgraded to Leopard, iTunes lost its authorisation.
    Now I've reauthorised my computer and it says I've used 2 of my 5 authorisations.... Wow. both on the same machine. Surely the authorisation system can see that it's the same computer and reuse the first authorisation?

  • Remove DRM from early itunes store purchases

    The itunes help screen says, "If you already have iTunes Store purchases that are now available as iTunes Plus downloads, you may upgrade your existing purchases. To do so, visit the iTunes Store and follow the onscreen instructions."
    If there are 'on screen instructions' I don't see them anywhere.
    Ideas?

    Does someone know whether the iTunes store purchase History is set to the local time or a central time - some of the times of my purchases seem to be different to the time I recalled purchasing them. Also if it is set to local time does the time automatically change if you are travelling? Thanks heaps
