ITunes authorization problems won't let me sync apps

The last few times I've tried to sync my iPod all apps are removed and will not be synced to the iPod because I am "not authorized to play them on this computer." I do, though, have my iMac authorized with both of my iTunes Store accounts. Reauthorizing them does not work, nor does restoring the iPod. What am I supposed to do to get my apps to sync?

I am having the same problem popping up with "apps": Only mine is from an old account I had 3 years that hasn't been used for 4 years. It prompts me to authorize my computer to this old account which doesn't even exist... the message reads:
"This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed the iPhone "my iphone". Would you like to authorize this computer?"
When I enter current account info it tells me that this computer is already authorized and when I try to sync again it immediately pops up the same message above.
This only started happening after downloading and installing iTunes 8.1.1
Any Help??

    Please help. My iPod Touch won't let me sync the apps in iTunes. It doesn't even have an app tab.

    Thanks for the reply stevejobsfan0123, but when i did that there was still no apps tab. I don't know if I did something wrong because when I dragged it, there was a red circle with a line through it. Thank's anyway.

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - For other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - After all the stuff is on your computer, connect the iPod to yur computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.

  • ITunes 10.5 won't let me sync my iPhone 4?

    I wanted to update my iPhone to ios5, but before doing so, I was promted with a upgrade for iTunes itself (to 10.5), so I did. After doing so, I was not able to sync my phone—I keep getting an error message that says something like "Sync could not be completed. The required folder could not be found." How do I fix this?
    Something I want to make clear: syncing was working perfectly before updating iTunes to 10.5

    try this:
    I was almost desperate about that issue. I was looking for someone to take my iPhone to an Apple Store in US, when I found this post in YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2foiTBSn3k). Spacemonks' comment saved my day!
    If you are experiencing the same I was, try this:
    1) Hold buttons sleep + home untill iPhone turns off;
    2) Open iTunes;
    3) Hold home button and plug the phone to your computer. The phone will turn on and the iTunes + Arrow + cable screen will appear.;
    4) iTunes will recover you phone from unsuccessful recovery process.
    Thanks again to Spacemonks!!

  • ITunes authorization code, won't let me in!!

    I'm trying to log in and download on iTunes but it is continually asking for my security code....when I type it in it
    Says that it is invalid

    By 'out of province' do you mean out of your home country ? If so then might be why - you need to have a valid credit card registered in the country that you are in to be able to use that country's store.

  • I have itunes 10.5.8 and cannot update it any futher, i just installed iOS 6 on my iphone and now it won't let me sync to my itunes because it says i need the new version...is there anything i can do to avoid upgrading my entire mac os

    i have itunes 10.6.1 and can't update itunes any further because im using mac os 10.5.8...the problem is that i just updated my iphone 4 to the new i OS6 and it won't let me sync to itunes without updating to itunes 10.7....help please??

    Not for free, no.  Well I guess there is.  Don't sync your phone.  We don't, but then we only use it for talking and taking photos which you can transfer using even a pretty old computer.
    Some people don't seem to need 10.7.  Discussion suggesting iOS6 will work with iTunes 10.6.3 for some phones - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4324248

    So I just updated to the newest update that was available for safari and iTunes but now it won't let me go on the Internet using safari and  it also won't let me sync my songs ,,,,,(it takes forever to backup my iPad AND my iPod) so what can I do ?

    If you're on windows try the following:
    This worked for me an hour ago and has allowed me to sync ok. Still haven't tried downloading the new version 5 to the phone yet as I'm still backing up photos etc just in case.
    1. Quit itunes
    2. Start an elevated command prompt (Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> right click Command Prompt -> Run as Administrator)
    3. Once in the command prompt type the following 3 words starting where your cursor is flashing: netsh winsock reset
    4. press ENTER
    5. Reboot your machine
    6. Restart itunes & connect device to sync
    7. Good luck  

  • I just updated my iTunes to the new software. When I plugged it into my computer and it said I need to reset my iPod. I did this and everything on my iPod deleted. Now, it won't let me sync my music or apps back onto my iPod. What do I do?

    It doesn't say anything. It runs through the sync process like normal and tells me all of the songs that it's synking. But then when it says I can disconnect it, nothing actually synked.

    Syncing music via iTunes is only one way: from iTunes to your iPod.  If you need to copy the music from your iPod back to your PC, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to do this.

    Hello narangcool,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I realize that when you connect your iPhone 5s to your computer, iTunes does not recognize it and you cannot sync. In this situation there may be additional troubleshooting steps that I would suggest to help resolve this situation. Please read over and work through the steps provided in the attached article.
