Itunes 8 Wants Authorization what is the story!!!!!

Like a fool I allowed the update to Itunes. Now it won't play a recently purchased album from Itunes. It wants Authorization. I know other are experiencing this. Hellooooo Appllleeee what is the DEAL?!
I am sick of this stuff happening everytime a do an update to software. Someone over there better come up with a solution quick or this computer is going back. I have had it.

Yes, I have done that. I have restarted the computer, shut down Itunes and restarted it and it works for a few songs than it shuts down and when you go to select a song it asks that you Authorize. It's a software problem and I hope Apple is solving it. It's just a royal pain in the @##$. Hopefully someone who has been having this problem has found a "real" solution that actually holds. Thank you for your help. My anger is at Apple and the slowness with which they deal with stuff like this. For all the good they do, they really suck at customer service, which is crazy for such a great brand. For all the good will you generate with great products, you loose people with bad customer service. If you hear or find anything else please forward or post. Thanks again.

    You will need to do what it says, contact iTunes support. Click the Support tab above, then the Get Started link in the Contact Apple Support area and you'll be guided.

  • What is the story on mac vulnerability? Is it serious or not serious?  If not serious, why is this not being explained?  If serious, why are Mac users not being informed of the risk?

    what is the story on mac vulnerability? Is it serious or not serious?
    If serious, why are we not kept informed
    If not serious, why is some much anxiety being created?

    IMO, it is being greatly over-blown in the media and online.
    Man in the middle attacks require the hacker to be connected to the same intranet network that your device is.  Even if they are, unless you go to a secure site and use personal data (like passcodes) they get nothing from stealing your data stream.
    If you are at your home, on your own secured intranet, then you really have virtually nothing to fear (as long as your own home network is secured and not wide open to anybody within range).  If you routinely use a VPN connection when on public wifi, again, you are fine.  Or if you use FireFox, Chrome or another browser that implements its own SSL security, then you are fine.
    The fact is, that even for those in a particular situation that is vulnerable to such an attack, most are not actually under any such attack - it is not nearly as rampant as the recent hype would have it seem to be.

  • What's the story on Story CS6?

    From what I see on the Web site, Story CS6 was supposed to be part of the Master Collection. But on the box, the references to Story are covered over with black tape.
    What's the story on Story? Is it coming later as a download? Or did it die? Or ... ?

    I don't think it's in the Master Collection, but I saw it listed on one page as being available for download from the Creative Cloud. I suspect it will be offered at some later time, although I couldn't find a reference for when.

  • I have a non intel G5 and would like to download i-tune songs that I have recently purchased. I have tried everything and can't find the downloads. Did this G5 just become obsolete with itunes? If not what is the problem?

    You can do it with Leopard but it depends upon the iTunes version which you did not reveal.  Also make sure you are looking in the right place for purchases.
    Consider buying a backup drive so you do not need to do this again.  If you are going to run old hardware and software you need to live differently because yes, at some time you will find your version of iTunes no longer works.  You're lucky it still works with Leopard.  As you can see, some versions still work with the iTunes Store but not for repeat downloading.
    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this).  Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple recommends,  "... back up your iTunes library. " (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).
    Additional tip at https://discussions.apple.com/message/24176756#24176756
      Select the iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes if you have the sidebar displayed, or with the button at the top right.
      Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links (see https://discussions.apple.com/message/26364186#26364186)

  • Rebuilding iTunes Library...What is the next step ?

    Hi:
    I tried follwoing your advice.
    I can do the Ctrl-A to select all songs in the iTunes libary.
    I can right-click and select Delete,
    but when I do, I do not get the 3 options that you mentioned
    (Cancel, Keep Files, and Move To Recycle Bin)
    I get a dialog box stating:
    Are you sure you want to remove the selcted songs from your iTunes library?
    These songs will also be remove from any iPod or iPhone which synchronizes with your iTunes library.
    Why am I not getting the options you stated above ?
    I have seen you oprions on a Mac at best Buy, but I am running an HP laptop under Vista Home Premium.
    Then has a Remove or Cancel button to be clicked.
    If I follow through with the above, will it wipe out my music library ?
    How do I go about rebuilding the databse ?
    Thank you

    Sorry DaleB, I have redone my library so many times, I forgot about this prompt. Just click 'yes'/'remove' to that question.
    Reloading the library will only make your iPod resync again, thats all.

    Hi:
    A related issue.
    I made a copy (backup ?) of the Music folder in Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit OS, to my Desktop. If something corrupts the Music in iTunes, will this be a "good enough" backup to be able to restore the music by moving it back into the Music folder, or will soemthing be missing ?
    Thanx !
    DaleB
    ==============================================================================

    What is it you want to do? If you want to clear your library and start it over with the same media files already on your computer, the way you are doing it is both more work and dangerous (you could lose files accidentally if you hit the wrong button).
    Assuming you backed up your library elsewhere, you will have an "iTunes Music.itl" file, or at least you do with XP. I am not sure if Vista works any differently. This is the file that is the database file that contains all the info about what is in your library, playcounts, ratings, etc. If you don't have that backed up somewhere else with your library, you should do that. If you periodically back up just that file, you can rebuild your library assuming the media files are not lost.
    So to clear our your current library, simply grab the iTunes Music.itl file in your iTunes folder and drag it to the desktop or the trash. Open iTunes and you should now see a blank library. Close iTunes, you will find a new iTunes Music.itl file has been created (representing the new blank library. To restore your old .tl file, simply drag your back up copy and overwrite the newly created blank library iTunes Music.itl file. That's it.
    Alternatively, you can File -> Import the .xml file that is also created and maintained by iTunes in the same folder as the iTunes Music.itl file. But Apple does state the XML file doesn't quite have everything contained in the iTunes Music.itl file, although it isn't clear what exactly is missing, at least not to me.

  • OC4J / OAS 11g - What is the story behind the release?

    We are heavily investing in the Java framework known as Seam which is heavily Java 1.5 reliant. As you're probably aware, 1.4 compatibility was added to OAS as of 10.1.3; meanwhile, the OC4J11 has been in technology preview for over a year. With Oracle's acquisition of BEA and other things - does anyone know what the story is behind 11g AS? Will we ever see it? Will Oracle simply re-brand BEA's products as their own? Oracle is quickly falling behind the Java development/deployment gap; how much longer is OC4J11 going to be a "preview" before they give it the go-ahead for a release?
    Thanks.

    You can also check thread Re: OC4J 11 / JDeveloper 11g Production Release? - Oracle Support has replied to me that Fusion Middleware 11g that contains OC4J 11g is "still not ready to be released".

  • What's the story on WD Raptor Drives?

    I have been toying with the idea of upgrading the hard drives in my Mac Pro to something in the WD Raptor line.
    What I have discovered is there are must be two "different lines" of Raptors and I don't know what to think of this.
    One "line" is made up of drives that are 300 GB and 600 GB (possibly a 150 GB in there also) and they are much
    less expensive than the other "line" that has 500 GB, 1 TB (and possibly a 250 GB in there).
    A 600 GB Raptor can be had for $100.00 and a 500 GB Raptor runs about $170.00 (a 1 TB Raptor is about $250.00).
    The amount of storage I need makes even a small drive overkill. I have 965 GB free on the 1 TB drive in my iMac. 
    Can anyone tell me what the difference is and which one would work best in a early 2009 Mac Pro.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    The new ones are VelociRaptor and come in the 250-500-1000GB and have larger cache and a number of improvements.
    $100 for 250GB / $155 for 500GB are nice price performance
    They are SATA with more of a "scsi flavor" in size, 10K spindle and 180MB/sec
    Maybe you want 128GB SSD for the system, or the 250GB, same prices.
    they are reliable and nice.
    WD Black 1TB $89
    It is not about how much storage you need really most of the time. Boot drive should be lean mean and unencumbered with other stuff: media libraries and such.
    I prefer to keep drives around 50% free.
    Discontinued? maybe not. Last or prior model, yes. You can also find WD Black 1TB etc in old 32MB cache variety - sometimes older cost MORE not less.
    I use the 150GB 32MB model as system drives and for backup system image alternate for my SSDs, in case I have trouble I can swap or dual boot between either and really can't tell difference other than slight noise - the newer VRs are quieter than those old RAPTOR which was pre-VelociRaptor and those are long gone and 2006-era.

  • Ok so I reverted back to iTunes 6.05, but what's the deal with QuickTime??

    I just followed the directions (posted here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=642274&start=0&tstart=0) to revert back to iTunes 6.05. I definitely uninstalled iTunes 7 first and restarted my computer afterwards, but when I open iTunes 6.05, I still get the error message about QuickTime not being up to date. Before all of this I had downloaded and installed QuickTime separately of iTunes. I got this error message when I was trying to use iTunes 7 also. Should I downgrade QuickTime or try to reinstall it or something?? What's going on?

    uninstall everything that relates to Apple out of the Add Remove programs list
    reboot
    then get the installer for iTunes 6.0.5 from filehippo.com
    re-install itunes
    reboot
    done

    i have windows xp. when trying to update to itunes 8.2-the installer can not locate the Itunes.msi file. i found the file but the installer can't use it. this is also the case when i try to delete itunes and/or reinstall.
    what causes this error and could someone point me in the right direction as how to fix this.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

  • MacWorld e-mail on ms apps had a rebuttal saying iwork now free, but the app store shows it at $30 for the 3 apps, so what's the story?

    So I got my Mac World e-mail, it talked about the free apps from MS (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote), so I downloaded them, in the comments section of the article someone that didn't like them said there was no need as iWork was free and no subscription needed.
    Anyway, after letting the ad for MS 360 play out, word opened, but it wouldn't let me access my skydrive, now called onedrive, it was grayed out and needed the 360 subscription, needless to say I deleted all of the office apps and based on the comments section of the article I went back to the app store to get iWork.
    They are not free, each app is $9.99, according to the app store, so tell me is there something I'm missing, there were others saying it was free, so what is the truth here?
    Currently I use Textilus for creating documents, well one or two, writing on the ipad is horrible, and it still doesn't recognize my printer or any documents I save in Textilus.  I have to save the page as a picture, open up the Epson app, select photos, and print.
    I was hoping something useful would be available, but it looks like that's not going to happen.

    Beginning last September (I beleive) the three iWorks app are free only for qualifying newly purchased devices (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5913)
    And yes, on the iPad, MS office apps can only be used to read files unless you have an Office 365 subscription.
    Can't respnd to what Textilus does or doesn't do when it comes to printing. That might be a question for the app vendor.

  • What is the story with Parallels?

    I got a copy of Parallels with the purchase of my MacBook Air (bonus). So I installed it and registered it but have never used it yet. Been about 6 months. So today I open it up and it tells me that it has expired and I need to purchase a license again (or upgrade). Is this some kind of mix-up or does this program require a subscription paid every so often?
    Thanks,
    Richard

    The copy you got with your computer was a trial version. Registering it allowed you to use it for a given period of time. After that if you want to keep using the software, you have to buy it. This is not a new concept.
