ITunes error message on authorized computers.

I have 2 laptops that have been authorized for iTunes home sharing. I can see each music library from the other, but when I try to move the music from the old laptop to the new one I get an error message that says the computer is not authorized. When I try to authorize the computer is says that it is already authorized for 2 of 5 computers. Any suggestions to transfer the music over?

hi jlarrabee!
once every 12 months you're allowed to do a "deauthorise all" on all computers. for a little more information, see the end of this document:
iTunes: About Music Store authorization and deauthorization
but if you don't have access to any of the PCs, it might be worth contacting the Music Store to ask if they might be able to deauthorise them for you.
(other folks please feel free to step in to confirm or deny that.)
love, b

  • ITunes error message - "video format is not supported by the iPad" My video is mp4, mpeg-4.

    When syncing my iPad 2....  Why do I get this iTunes error message? "video format is not supported by the iPad"
    My video is mp4, another is mpeg-4.
    I thought the iPad 2 could play almost any format.

    Must conform to these specs:
    Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
    Or download an alternate video player,such as avplayerhd.

  • I upgraded my iphone 5 to iOS 8 and now i get an itunes error message when I try to sync "this iphone cannot be synced. Unknown error.

    I upgraded my iphone 5 to iOS 8 and now i get an itunes error message when I try to sync "this iphone cannot be synced. Unknown error. (-50). my icloud drive was stuck in an upgrade cycle, but i've stopped that and still get the error message.

    I restarted itunes and tried again (based on a similar question/solution from 2012).
    I don't get the error message anymore, but it's really sort of odd that after step one of sync, it looks as if sync stopped, and then all of a sudden you see step 4 of sync.
    Also before the upgrade I had 7+ gigs of space free and after the upgrade I have 10 gigs free. seems like something is amiss, but it's not like I have anyway of determining that.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    iTunes Error Message 'The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-50).  How do I correct this error?

    I know this doesn't help you Bud, but I've had this issue for at least the last couple of versions.  If I can ask, what is you enviornment like?  Local PC only, libray saved on another PC/Server? 
    In my case my library is on Windows 2003 server with the share mapped to drive M:  This has worked for many years through both XP and Windows 7 until and update a while ago.

  • ITunes error message: "The iTunes library file cannot be saved. You have exceeded your storage quota on the disk you are attempting to use." What do I do?

    I recently started receiving the following iTunes error message when I attempt to update the software on my iPad or iPhone: "The iTunes library file cannot be saved. You have exceeded your storage quota on the disk you are attempting to use."
    Any ideas what I need to do? The software won't update on my iPad, and I need to update through iTunes, as my iPad does not have enough free space to use the OTA service.

    You need to free up space on your boot drive.
    (I am going to ask the mods move this to the MacBook Pro forum.)

  • Itunes error message 2

    When opening itunes, error message 2 pops up, stating Apple Application support is required.  It tells me to uninstall and reinstall itunes.  Should I do this and will I loose my library?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • Error message not authorized for items on this computers

    when snycing i receive this error message and nearly every purchased song won't sync.

    Is your iTunes library authorized with the account you used to purchase these tracks from the iTunes Store?  To check, head to Store -> Authorize this Computer and enter in the same Apple ID credentials used to purchase the tracks.

  • Can't Install iTunes : Error Message "Installer has insufficient Privileges to modify this File" Running Windows Vista

    Hello!
    I am currently having issues installing iTunes on BOTH of my computers. One running Vista, the other, Windows 7.
    (Not the same issues)
    I used to have iTunes on my Vista (32bit), but when asked to update the software (The update prior to the newest one), I was not able to.
    I dont exactly remember the error message.
    Yesterday, I tried to install it again when I realized there was a new update.
    I am receiving an error message while trying to install the software that says :
    "The Installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file: c:\program files\ common files \ apple \ apple application support \ webkit. resources \ inspector \ images \ warnings errors.png
    I have tried almost everything I knew to do.
    Downloaded itunes setup, extracted the files and tried to install them all separately.
    Then I had issues UNinstalling Apple Support and Mobile devices!
    Tried something with the registry (not too sure what. I read it on this website)
    Tried to Force Uninstall EVERY bit of apple on the computer then try again, and to no avail.
    I am a bit discouraged, because I have been trying for so long with both computers.
    I even called applecare for help with Windows 7 computer. Spoke to one representative who forwarded me to another who could not help.
    (Windows 7 itunes WILL install, but when I plug up my phone says I am not running 64bit itunes, which I am, and to reinstall. Then I was missing the Mobile device and would not let me separately install.)
    I am a bit frustrated, and I'd appreciate all of the help I can get.
    Thank You all in advance.

  • IPod/iTunes Error Messages

    One night after resetting my iPod (because it was stuck), it I had 0 songs, 0 podcasts, 0 videos, you get the message. However, it still showed the iPod to be 3/4 full. I went to iTunes and restored it, and now it won't take more than 20 gigs. If I end it before that, it plays ok. If I let it go past that amount I get the following error messages: ATTEMPTING TO COPY TO DISK "SCOTT" FAILED. THE DISK COULD NOT BE READ FROM OR WRITTEN TO. Then it says: THE iPod "SCOTT" CANNOT BE SYNCED. AN UNKNOWN ERROR OCCURRED. (-1303).
    Anybody have any ideas? Is there damage on the hard drive? Do I need to replace it, it's only 6 months old. Would the Apple store be able to erase the hard drive better than iTunes can?
    Thanks.

    Apple stores can restore the iPod on their computers... you'd have to restore it again on your own computer to reformat it for use with Windows once you got it home.
    Have you tried changing the iPod's drive letter?
