ITunes and computer authorization

Why, after authorizing my iMac with my iTunes account - can't I play a song in an iMovie project. The song moves to the project - but there is no sound

I had a similar problem. I can't answer the 'why' part of your question, but I solved my problem by burning the song to a cd, importing it, and using the imported version in my project.
Good luck.

  • Confusion on iTunes Plus Files and Computer Authorization

    I wonder if someone could help me alleviate some confusion surrounding iTunes plus files and computer authorizations.  I personally also have iTunes match on my account.
    Reading online it appears that all iTunes Plus files do not not have DRM. I have this setup on my main iMac in my house. Now, I am copying music to my wife's laptop via home sharing. She is not using iTunes match because she has her own iTunes account. The home sharing is using her iTunes account. What is confusing me is that her laptop asking me to authorize the computer for playback of the audio files under my iTunes account. Why is this occuring if there is no DRM on the files?
    I understand that I need to authorize machines for my iTunes match account, but these all should theoretically be DRM files that I am dragging and dropping via home sharing to her machine. Can anyone clarify what is going on in this situation?

    Go to Store -> View Account. Log in to your account and click Purchase History. Then click Report a Problem. Then choose your upgrade purchase and explain your situation.

  • IPod is recognized by iTunes and computer, but wil not sync songs

    iPod is recognized by iTunes and computer, but wil not sync songs. I have about 1400 songs and just got 40 more, and before I bought those 40 my iTunes was wiped out. I still had the files so my iTunes was filled up again. Now, when I connect my iPod to the computer it is recognized and then it says "do not disconnect" then after a few seconds it says "ipod update is complete- ok to disconnect". but it did not upload any songs. How can I make it work?

    If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
    -- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
    -- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
    -- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
    -- Safely eject the iPod
    -- Reboot the PC
    Then restore your iPod to factory settings.

    I have an old ipod touch which won't go past the Apple logo, all it does is show me a loading symbol, but will go no further, i have tried restoring it and i have been successful. It connects and is recognised by my itunes and computer, but still after restoring it, it just won't get passed the logo..what can i do? what is the problem?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • TS2972 have to restart Itunes and computer several times before apple tv will connect...do i need to reinstall itunes?

    have to restart Itunes and computer several times before apple tv will connect...do i need to reinstall itunes?

    It is quite possible to have a different iCLoud AppleID from the iTunes one - have you set up maybe Phot Stream using an non-iTunes AppleID?

  • Itunes match and computer authorization

    What is this message about? When trying to authorize my computer......for the 50th time, so that I could turn on itunes match, a popup says that I can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one ID for 90 days. I can not associate this computer with another ID for 88 days.
    I am very unhappy with Apple. I own several Apple products, and the Apple ID issue is a major pain in the ***. I had to create a 2nd ID because I was told I would lose all my iTunes purchases unless I made my ID name into my email address. But I had purchases under the ID name and some under the email address.
    Things have gotten worse since I created a second Apple ID. iTunes and Match problems, billing, aggravation, confusion.

    I had a similar problem. I can't answer the 'why' part of your question, but I solved my problem by burning the song to a cd, importing it, and using the imported version in my project.
    Good luck.

  • HT1420 I am trying to authorize my new computer so I can download my previous purchases from the cloud.  It says to open iTunes and select Authorize My Computer, but when I open iTunes there is no STORE menu.  Can anyone help?

    I am trying to "authorize" my new computer so that I can download my previous purchases from the cloud.  It says to open iTunes and go to the STORE menu and select AUTHORIZE MY COMPUTER, but when I open iTunes there is no STORE menu.  Can anyone help?

    If the computer's running Mac OS X, move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store, and choose Authorize this Computer.
    If the computer's running Windows, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

  • ITunes and Computer think my iPhone 3G is a new/different phone

    I Connected my iPhone to my computer to Sync it today and it went straight to the iTunes store and then showed a message saying "Congratulations you have actiavted your phone" or something similar. Now my iPhone which used ot have a personalised name now shows as "iPhone" i iTunes and it apears some of mysetting have been lost but not any application data.
    Since my last sync with my computer (1 day ago) there have been no changes at all to my pc, no Anti Virus updates, no windows updates or any software/hardware changes at all. I haven't even connected a new USB device.
    To resolve this and get it back to it's orginal state I tried:
    Rebooting PC and iPhone, which had no impact.
    Restoring from a backup, however there is only a backup available from the date/time when I connected the phone and found this problem. I went into the backups folder and verified I have 4,000 files from as far back as a year ago but none of them appear.
    I am concerned that I have lost media and aps that were purchased on the phone and that itune will think they are associated to another computer. Additionally I want to understand what could have gone wrong.
    If anyone can assist that would be fantastic.

    I'm losing my mind: the phone is a 4S, not a 3!

  • ITunes and Computer freezes when ipod is connected

    When I connect my video ipod to my computer (dell desktop) the system freezes, as in it will not respond to mouse clicks and keyboard (but can still get to task manager). When I unplug the ipod it comes back to life. Programs always freeze, but sometimes I am able to navigate within windows without it freezing, but as soon as a program is brought up, my computer falls to its knees.
    I have the latest version of iTunes, and updater v. 1.1, (but I have not been able to update the firmware yet from v 1.0).
    The odd thing is last night I was able to download several gigs worth of music to it without incident. I then tried to load movies (they were in the wrong format, but I didn't know it at the time), and so in an effort to correct that I uninstalled itunes, the ipod drivers, and the ipod updater programs several times.
    I cannot update the ipod firmware because the computer freezes when the ipod is plugged in, so the program freezes as well. Kind of a catch 22 situation.
    I have been over the forums and help archives for about an hour and a half now and I have come up dry.
    Windows XP does recognize the ipod when the cable is connected, and the ipod flashes, "Do not disconnect", which it is supposed to do.
    I suspect this is drivers/software, but I have no idea where to go from here.
    Help?

    Hey!
    That EXACT thing happened to me! 2 nights ago I'm downloading like crazy, all is well. I got on LimeWire and downloaded some videos and tried to put them on my iPod. Imported them into iTunes then tried to put em on my iPod and it completely wiped out all my songs! So I get back on, put the songs back in, and about half way through the update the thing freezes. I've re-installed everything, and have reset my iPod. Did you figure out what to do? Maybe your fix will fix my problem, too.
    Thank you!

  • ITunes and Computer freeze when connecting 160GB iPod classic

    160 GB iPod Classic
    Model: MC293LL
    Version: 2.0.4 PC
    iTunes version: 11.1.3
    computers: 1 Win8 desktop,
                     1 Win7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1 Notebook
    since yesterday I started having trouble with my iPod. When connecting it to the Notebook it showed a message: "There's a problem with this device. Scan the drive now and fix it". After clicking on scan and trying to fix the problem the notebook froze, so I connected it to me desktop, and it worked, it said that the problem was fixed. But when trying to open the iTunes it froze and after disconnecting it I realised the music was gone. So I connected it again, the same "There's a problem with this device. Scan the drive now and fix it"-message showed, but at the end the computer said it didn't detect any problem with the drive, so I opened iTunes and restored the iPod, and it worked but after that iTunes froze, then Windows Explorer and then the whole computer. Tried to connect the iPod to the Win7 Notebook and the same thing happened, first iTunes froze and then the computer froze, they both didn't show the blue screen.
    What can I do? The iPod was already restored to the factory settings.

    i had the same problem. all i did was download the newest version of itunes, which i had been putting off for months because it takes so long. after i did this itunes worked fine for me
    hope this helps

  • My ipod Shuffle Gen 2 is not recognised by itunes AND computer...!!

    Hi my ipod shuffle 2nd gen is not being recognised by my computer. I have installed the new itunes and it does not recognise it either.
    However it does a little flash thing with the lights when i ccnnect it, but then they turn off. I know that this means it needs restoring. But how can i restore it if the computer doesnt recognise it??
    thanks!

    I'm also having the same problem with my 2nd gen iPod Shuffle. iTunes on my Mac does not recognize it and will not sync with it. Occasionally, iTunes will recognize it but then when I try to sync it, iTunes then does not recognize it.
    Interestingly, when I hook this Shuffle up to iTunes on my Windows machine, it does recognize it and will sync up.
    What might be the problem here and how can it be corrected? If anyone has any thoughts/solutions, please let us know.
    Thanks...

  • Three 5th gen nanos. One NOT recognized by itunes and computer; other 2 fine.

    I have 3 daughters and three 5th gen nanos. I use the same cord, plug and computer, and one is not being recognized by itunes or computer and will not charge; other 2 fine. Something wrong with just the one. Resetting (pressing menu and center until apple appears?) doesn't work. One daughter very SAD. Please help if you can.
    Oh, and I've also put it in disk mode. Still not recognized.

    I think I found the problem, and it may be useful to others. I cosely looked at the dock connector next to the earphone jack and found that it has a chip in it. Not good news for Gen 5 ipod nano's. Apparently, the connector is bonded to the logic board. I did find that if I gently put pressure on it in one directio or the other, it will make a connection.
    Must break the bad news to daughter. Sad face.

  • Itunes and computer not recognising nano 6th gen?

    my itunes is not recognising my  ipod nano. i have tried the restore (which would not work with my pc it is synced with, had to use a different one to restore) and every other troubleshooting option apart from reinstalling itunes, which is not an option for me as it affects other users itunes libraries on the pc. the cord works with other apple ipods. the nano works with other computers. i have since uninstalled the ipod nano in computer device manager, but am unsure of how to reinstall. now itunes AND my computer are not recognising the ipod. what steps can i take to make it work again? also, if it helps, it comes up with a message saying the device has been recognised but then has an error message saying it wont work and if the problem persists to reinstall itunes, which i will state again, i am not willing to do. last resort. thank you to anyone who helps.

  • Itunes and computer crashed! I lost my library! Where can I recover it?

    I've got all of my songs on an external hard drive. My computer crashed, and after a restart, I started up itunes and it my library is gone. I looked in my itunes folder under user/music/itunes as well as user/library/itunes and user/documents and all the itunes library files are a year old! so all the orginizing and playlists in the last year are lost. anyone have any ideas on how to recover the most recent one? I appreciate any help... thanks

    Did you try:
    History menu > Restore Previous Session
    I'm not sure that's still available if you've been browsing around again for a while.
    ''Actually, you used session restore, so that's the same thing.''
    I'm not sure what blog platform you use, but I've noticed that WordPress auto-saves for me at regular intervals. If yours doesn't do that, you should definitely see about getting it set up.

  • IPod Shuffle disappeared from iTunes and computer

    I did a silly thing...while charging, my ipod shuffle the charging light was blinking. Booklet said that it meant it was using it as an external data storage disc. It asked if I wanted it to, I said no. Now it has disappeared from my iTunes and from my Computer. I've reset it. Don't want to restore it and lose my songs on it (it says to backup first, but how can I when I can't find it on my computer?). I'm thinking to reinstall itunes program. Important Question, if I do that, will I lose all the songs in my itunes library? I've checked all my USB hubs in Device Manger, they all appear to be working, yet none show ipod. Help please and thanks! Denise

    what file do you mean? My entire library is still there and working on iTunes. My iPod still has all it's songs and still plays on its own. itunes program just doesn't show that ipod is connected to it. Anyone else know? Thanks, D.
