ITunes acts like it's authorizing my computer...

but won't for some reason. after i "authorize" my mac, it says 1 out of 5 computers authorized. then when i try to play a purchased song, it wants me to enter my password to authorize my machine all over again. this is nutso...
also, it won't download the newest killers album, saying that the file isn't found. maybe the itunes servers are messed up at the moment?

I am having the EXACT same problem. It happened right after I bought the Killers Album... I bought it -- but I cant download it. I get an error every time. It asks me to authorize over and over. It appears as though it plays after - but no sound comes out...
I am on hold with Apple Support

  • Itunes acts like fresh install always

    When I upgraded, iTunes acts like it's the first time every time I open it. I have to sign in to the store again, go through multiple menus, etc. I did the systematic uninstall here. Re-downloaded, re-installed. Very frustrating...any thoughts?

    I have a similar problem. Often, but not always, when iTunes initiates it acts like a new, first time installation. When it opens, I have to reset preferences and when synching Outlook I am told iPhone is synched to another account. NOPE, I don't have any other account or computer.
    I appreciate any help.

  • I just bought a macbookpro. And trying to sync my iCloud music to my iTunes.  I've already "authorized" this computer to my iCloud account but It still won't play my music that I've oreviously purchased. What do I do?

    I just bought a macbookpro. And trying to sync my iCloud music to my iTunes.  I've already "authorized" this computer to my iCloud account but It still won't play my music that I've previously purchased. I know this isn't a matter of having tI many devices on one account because I only have my phone and now this laptop on it.   What do I do?

  • Is there a way to make the NAS200 act like a drive in my computer

    Not sure if this has been discussed here yet.
    I have a NAS200 connected to my router and I can access through my web browser no problem.
    I was wondering if there's a way to make it act like a drive that's in my computer. i.e give it a drive letter and have it show up in the "my computer" area.
    I am running win 8 pro desktop hard wired to the router with the nas200 connected. Is there a way to "mount" the nas200 as drive on the computer.
    Thanks,
    Bob
    Solved!

    Yes, you just need to map the drive on your computer. You need to make sure first that the network drive is detected in the network. You can click on the following link to know how to map the drive:

  • How do I get iTunes to recognize that I authorized my computer?

    I have an iPhone 4S, the latest version of iTunes and Windows 8 and I can't sync my phone. iTunes keeps telling me to authorize my computer but it's already authorized. I've tried uninstalling all my Apple software and reinstalling it but that doesn't work. I've tried deauthorizing my computer and authorizing it again but that didn't work either. Is there anything else I can do?

    I've tried all of that and iTunes still won't sync my phone. I've deauthroized my computer than reauthorized it. I've deauthorized all computers then reauthorized my computer and every time I go to sync, iTunes keeps telling me my computer isn't authorized.

  • HT201413 iTunes acts like I haven't reviewed an app.

    I have reviewed several apps yesterday and today.  Once I write a review and click submit and leave the specific app page, the info I just entered disappears when I return to that app page.  It acts like I haven't entered any info into the boxes.  Does anyone have idea what is going on?

    Was it purchased by that account, and is it still available in the store ? If it's been withdrawn from the store then you won't be able to re-download it

  • I'm getting this error message  "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPod '___'s iPod.' Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?" I have authorized the computer.

    I just purchased songs on itunes, I can play them on my windows 7, but when I try to sync the ipod, I get the error "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items on "Stephanie's ipod" Would you like to authorize this computer for purchases from the itunes store.  When I authorize it, it says it is already authorized. Then the process starts all over again. Help.

    You can't change the Apple ID that the Authorize dialog comes up with by default. It's showing you that Apple ID for a reason: it means that the items you want to play were purchased using that Apple ID and therefore you need to authorize your computer with that Apple ID. Changing the Apple ID given completely defeats the entire purpose.
    If you don't know the password to the given Apple ID, then you will no longer be able to play those items.

  • ITunes acts like I haven't installed it...

    I don't know what the problem is, but it's gotten to where every time I open iTunes on my computer, I get the dialog you get when you first download iTunes asking if it wants me to use my WMA files, etc.
    I've had iTunes for awhile, and I don't know what the problem is. When I connect my iPod, it always says that some of the content I have on my iPod isn't in my library, and it transfers over. That wouldn't be all bad, but it's consistently the same stuff that transfers over on a consistent daily basis whenever I open iTunes.
    Did I explain that well enough? Can anyone offer any assistance to me?

  • Why wont my itunes open it acts like its loading but then it just never comes up

    itunes acts like its loading but never comes up and rarely when it does come up it freezes.

    Hello, jessykins25.
    Thank you for the question.  This sounds like you will need to rebuild your iTunes library file.  Below, I have included the article that walks you through this process.  Start with the section labeled Re-creating the iTunes Library file.

  • ITunes for Windows freezes when importing a library. I have a large but not huge library of mostly iTunes purchased music on two authorized computers and would like to sync the files, export the library as a playlist, and import it on the other computer.

    I am running iTunes for Windows 10.2.2 on Windows 7 Home. I have my iTunes library on both this computer and another authorized machine running Windows 7 Professional. I have a large but not enormous library, as I'm one of those people who doesn't pirate, use torrents, borrow from a dozen friends, or whatever other shades of gray you might imagine. It's mostly iTunes purchases with my old CD collection imported. I have started using the following technique to sync my libraries between my two authorized computers, an ability which you can probably all agree should one day be added to iTunes -- that would be different from Home Sharing, because the music would be stored locally and thus available on the road. With the added benefit of the entire library being backed up on the other machine in real-time. Anyway, when I switch from my desktop to laptop and vice versa, I use the following technique:
    Connect both machines to the home network. One machine is the "Active" machine, which has most recently been used for iTunes media, purchases, ratings, etc.
    On the "Active" machine, File-->Library-->Export. Save the file as "Library.xml" on the shared drive of the other machine.
    Right-click "Library.xml" where it's been saved, and open another file that has two lines in it: The root path of the iTunes library on one machine and the root path of the iTunes library on the other machine.
    Do a find/replace all in Notepad to make the library XML file point to where the files will be saved on the "Inactive" machine.
    Run Microsoft SyncToy to synchronize the files between both music libraries; the most recent files win. This avoids copying the entire multi-gigabyte library over the network.
    Open iTunes on the "Inactive" machine.
    Go to Music, Select All, Delete. Keep files.
    Do the same for Movies, Music Videos.
    Go down to Playlists, select the top one, hold down the delete button until they're all gone.
    File-->Library-->Import Playlist. Choose the "Library.xml" file you saved.
    First a status bar comes up that says, "Importing library." It has the continually-scrolling progress bar, not the one that starts on the left and steadily creeps right. Then after about 30 seconds, that clears out. Wait. Typically a few minutes. Eventually a status bar will pop up saying something like, "Evaluating gapless playback information," or something like that.
    The "Inactive" computer is now the "Active" computer. I can now play my library, it has all my playlists and metadata from the other machine.
    Delete all the duplicate playlists named "Music," "Genius," "Purchased," and "iTunes DJ."
    Well, I just upgraded to iTunes 10.2.2 a few days ago and tried to do this again like I've done it dozens of times before. Now, iTunes just goes unresponsive after the library import. It got through the "Importing library" bar to the long wait and stopped. I can still multiprocess and use other programs, but iTunes is hovering back there not responding to clicks. Task Manager doesn't seem to think iTunes is using my CPU, and I don't see my hard drive rattling. Any thoughts on why iTunes might hang up when importing a large library?
    ... Also, please help lobby Apple to come up with a network sync tool built into iTunes for a user with multiple authorized computers. Something different than Home Sharing so I can pull my laptop off the network and still have the synced library with me. And all my metadata changes will sync. The technique I use seems a little kludgey, don't you think?

    iTunes isn't an editor. You need an app that's intended for editing audio files, like Adobe Audition (http://www.adobe.com/products/audition.html) or Audacity (free in the App Store).

  • HT1296 I have authorized my computer and music shows up on it when I have iTunes open, but still will not download songs to my ipod.  Any suggestions?

    I have authorized my ipod to sync with my computer, but it still will not sync the songs from the past that are on itunes.  Any ideas how to correct this and download the songs?  thanks, Corinne M

    I have authorized my computer to work with my ipod.  I have ran a sync and it did put music I copied to my computer to the ipod.  The thing it will not do is download music I bought from iTunes in the past. It just acts like they are not there.

  • I downloaded iTunes to a new computer and authorized that computer but my music is grayed out and will not play, how do I get access to my music?

    I installed iTunes to a new computer and authorized that computer but my music is grayed out.  How do I get access to my music?

    Is there a way to change that?
    You can easily set up the iPod to automatically sync to your current iTunes library (or just do a Restore), but that will replace the iPod's existing content with content from your current iTunes library (erasing the iPod).  If your old computer was "retired" gracefully and you were able to transfer its complete iTunes user data to your new computer, there is no problem because all of the songs on the iPod now are already in your current iTunes library.  However, if there are songs on the iPod that are not in your current iTunes library, those songs will be lost.  That may be a problem...
    If you want to preserve what is on the iPod, you can try setting the iPod to Manually manage music and videos.  I believe you can do that from an iTunes library that is not the iPod's currently associated library.  Select the iPod in iTunes, so that you see its Summary settings screen.  Check the box for Manually manage music and videos.  (If iTunes puts up any warning about erasing or replacing the iPod's existing content, Revert the change and cancel out.)  Click Apply.  The iPod is no longer set to automatically sync.  But you can add new content manually to what is already on the iPod.  And the songs should not be grayed out. 
    However, you cannot use iTunes to transfer songs on the iPod to your current iTunes library (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store).  If there are songs on the iPod that are not in your computer's iTunes library, you should eventually "offload" those song files because your iPod can easily break, become corrupted, or get lost.  iTunes syncs content in one direction only (from computer to iPod), but there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like iPod "transfer," you should get some links, including a CNET article on the topic.
    Once all of your songs are "consolidated" in your current iTunes library, you can set up the iPod for automatic syncing to that library.

  • Does the apple tv make the computer act like a receiver from the tv?

    When using home sharing, the computer is on and running iTunes and the content is sent over the local network to the Apple TV.

    when i try to reset my ipod it stops at 10minutes and the ipod turns itself on and acts like ive done nothing to it, it has been stuck on the "connect to itunes screen" and it wont reset. why?

    After you place the iPod in recovery mode using
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    You have to then connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes. Are you doing that?
