ITunes asks for reauthorization but computer is authorized. how do I fix?

I have tried all the proposed fixes online, nothing works. Suggestions?

If just some of the tracks on the album are doing that, that suggests those tracks are damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
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 items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

ITunes asks for authorization, though computer is authorized

Hello! Happy New Year! It would be happier for me if I could get my iTunes purchases to play.
Recently I was having problems with my laptop computer, so I had to do an Archive and Re-install Operating System. After doing this I am having problems playing the songs I have purchased from the iTunes Store.
I have my computer authorized, but when I click to play a song, I get a message prompting me to authorize the computer. I then re-enter the authorization info. I then get a message telling me that this computer is already authorized, but the song still will not play.
I have the latest version of iTunes installed. I have tried de-authorizing and re-authorizing all of my computers. The authorization works on my other computers - can even play the same files that are on my laptop - but for some reason I cannot get the songs to play on my laptop.
Any ideas?

OK GUYS, *SUCCESS AT LAST*!!! I'VE GOT THIS AUTHORIZATION FINALLY RESOLVED AND I'VE NO IDEA HOW COME ITUNES SUPPORT WERE UNABLE TO GET ME STRAIGHTENED OUT IN ALL THE TIME THAT WE TRIED - INCLUDING GENIUS BAR.
HERE'S WHAT I DID:
1-LAST NIGHT I GOT RID OF QUICKTIME AND REINSTALLED.
(TRIED THEN TO RUN MY ITUNES "PROTECTED" BUT TO NO AVAIL....SO FRUSTRATION RESURFACED)
THEN DAVID JD SENT ME A THREAD THAT LED ME TO EXPLORE FURTHER (THANKS MAN!)
2-TODAY, AFTER READING THE LATEST THREADS AT SUBMITTED BELOW, I DOWNLOADED THE LATEST VERSION OF ITUNES....VOILA! I ONLY HAD TO REAUTHORIZE ONCE FOR EACH ACCOUNT (2) AND NOW I'M BACK IN TUNE.
(BUT REMEMBER I DID THIS AFTER DOING A REINSTALL OF QUICKTIME; WE HAD DONE A REINSTALL OF ITUNES AT THE GENIUS BAR BUT THAT HAD NOT WORKED THEN)

PS: I DID NOT, REPEAT 'NOT' UNINSTALL THE PREVIOUS ITUNES. I JUST DOWNLOADED OVER IT. GOOD LUCK ALL.

HT2731 when i restore my ipod itunes asked for password but i forgot it how to know my password or get back it.

help me

Only you will know your backup password, it's not stored anywhere and nobody else can tell you what it is. From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946 (which applies iPod Touches as well) :
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

Why is that every time I start my computer it asks for my Yahoo email password? How can I fix this?

The computer keeps asking for my password for Yahoo. I already gave it but it asks over and over. This happens every time I start using the computer.

Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

Ask for password, but not accept, and how to chang...

Hi!
I tried to switch from my old e-mail adress to my new, because the older is not alive anymore (delete back in 2010), and I want to switch to the new, but then, Skype asks for my password, and I give it, but always returns with a not correct password error. What can I do?

I'm afraid that you may be confusing two different 'passwords' - there's your Apple ID (the user name and password that you used to get into these forums) and then there's your computer user name and password - usually two seperate user names and passwords.
If you want to change your password for your user account on your computer, go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and unlock the preference pane. Then you can select your user name and change your password there. Changing a user name is a bit complex and I don't think you want to try that!

ITunes recognizes my iPod but not my pc, how can I fix this?

I can't figure out why my iPod is not recognized by pc and everytime I try to sync the backup takes forever and eventually just freezes iTunes, it is very fustrating and I am wondering now if there is a defect with the iPod. This iPod is a replacement to another iTouch I had that stopped working and that one used to show up on 'my computer' as IPOD and this one does not appear at all. I have tried very thing I find in forums and nothing seems to answer my question.

Click here and follow the instructions if you haven't already done so.

HT201269 everytime i want to restore my previews backup to my new iphone, itunes asks for my password, when i enter my password it tells me my password is incorect, but its not!

everytime i want to restore my previews backup to my new iphone, itunes asks for my password, when i enter my password it tells me my password is incorrect, but its not! i have even changed my password. but still nothing! I get the same error from itunes!!!!

Try using your computer password. I tried any password I could think of relating to my phones, but it was none of them; it was, in fact, my computer password.

I wanted to update 6 apps. but iTunes asked for the password of my old Apple ID. Now, I can't get into iTunes., I wanted to update 6 apps. but iTunes asked for the password of my old Apple ID. Now, I can't get into iTunes.

When I opened my App Store today, I found 6 apps needing update. I clicked “Update All” and there popped “Sign in to iTunes Store” and asked me to enter the Apple ID password for <my account>. I entered my password for the Apple ID but it said “Your Apple ID or password is incorrect.” Since I entered incorrect passwords many times, I had to reset my password two times already. I want to update the apps on my phone. But, I can’t , and this is tiring, exhausting, and frustrating. My questions: (1) Why is iTunes asking for a password for an old account when I changed that already? (2) What to do now - Do I sign out of iTunes, delete the account and create a new one?
<E-mails Edited by Host>

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your email addresses from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info on any public forum).
Is the old account a completely different iTunes account, or is it just a previous primary email address on the same account ? If it's a different account then all content that you download from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it, so only that old account will be able to download updates to its apps.
If it's the same account, just a previous primary email address, then what id shows at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your phone ? You could try tapping on that and log out of it and then log back in with the updated version and see what id then shows for updates.

I connected my iphone 3g to itunes which was in 4.1 firmware and itunes ask for an update which i downloaded an updated the phone to version 6.1.3 but my phone cannot start it shows no service my sim card is not getting network and i cannot use the phone.

First, you do not have a 3G if you could upgrade it to 6.1.3, because 4.2.1 is the last version that will work on the 3G. So you either have a 3GS or you somehow hacked the phone to install an incompatible version. You can check the model you have by entering your serial number here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
Assuming you have a 3GS the most likely reason for your problem is you have a gray market phone that was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it. When you upgraded it you removed the hack, so the phone is now locked to its original carrier.
