ITunes/iPhone Authorization help

Recently, I bought a new MacBook Pro, I transferred all of my stuff from my old mac to this one. I go in to sync my iPhone on my new computer, but it says my computer isn't authorized to sync the applications I already have. So, I authorize it and it seems to have worked. But then I try to sync again, still no luck. I bought all my apps using my old AOL account, but apparently these cannot be used anymore. So I am authorizing using a new account I made. But still no luck, it deletes all my apps off of my phone. I am just very confused and don't know what I need to do to get all of my apps that I have purchased, back on my phone. Anyone know? Thanks.

I wasn't aware that Apple got rid of or no longer allows using an AOL email address for an iTunes account. The option remains available to enter/use an AOL email address when authorizing iTunes. It is just an email address and password for the authorization.
When you transferred your iTunes library, did you copy/transfer the iTunes named folder from your Music folder on your old Mac to the Music folder on your new MBP?
Since selecting AOL as the email account type, and entering the AOL screen name and password remains available with authorizing iTunes with an iTunes account, have you tried authorizing iTunes in your MBP with your AOL screen name and password?
Since you won't be able to transfer any 3rd party apps that were purchased/downloaded with your AOL account after creating a new iTunes account with a different email address, you will need to contact iTunes customer support regarding this if you are unable to authorize iTunes on your new MBP with your AOL email account.

  • ITunes/iPhone syncing help

    I just transferred my iTunes to a new Mac and I on my old computer I used to plug in my iPhone and drag the songs I wanted to my "device" and it would add them. For some reason when I go to drag it to my device on the new Mac it never gives me the capability of dropping it in the music folder. Help??

    Your iPhone can only be "synced" with one computer at a time. Regardless of authorization for iTunes content.
    You need to transfer ALL content from the old computer to the new. Then, you can choose to sync the iPhone by clicking on it in the sidebar, and across the top going through the Summary, Info, Music, Movies, Photos, Apps etc tabs, and checking the boxes to turn ON syncing to this new computer. It should give you a message each time you do this that says that you will wipe off existing content and then add new content that came from THIS computer instead.
    Simply de-authorizing the old computer will not solve your problem- that just tells Apple that you no longer allow the computer to play the content you purchased FROM iTunes. It does not affect syncing other than the transferrence of iTunes store purchases from the device they were bought on to the other device.

  • ITunes - iPhone 5 help

    Hi, for some reason one of my iTunes albums won't sync to my iPhone. I can't figure out why. Help?

    Might there be an ownership issue?  Might the Apple ID used to purchase the album be either not authorized in the current iTunes, or be different from the Apple ID used on the iPhone?

  • HT1386 iPhone won't sync with iTunes. It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do

    iPhone won't sync with iTunes and It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do. I tried everything!
    I need to add my music to my iPhone from iTunes but its not working!

    First off try and go into your IPhone manually through My Computer and cut photos or anything you can through the device to be able to free space up so that you can continue to do what you want to do with ITunes. This way you will be able to create a backup or do what you have to do to manage your information, photos and texts on your device a little better.

    Hey there Kellee,
    It sounds like the device drivers for your iPhone are working in Windows, but the phone is not showing in iTunes. You should be able to get that showing again with the steps in this article:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    Start with these three steps, and there are more in the article if you need them.
    1. Update iTunes
    Check that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. In iTunes, select "Check for updates" in the Help menu.
    2. Check the USB cable
    Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
    USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might support only charging those products (and not transmitting data) or they might work only with the product with which they were sold. Using one of these cables to sync could cause issues. If you are using a third-party case, such as an extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
    3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    iOS devices require Apple Mobile Device Support, which should be automatically installed with iTunes. To verify whether it is installed, follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
    Windows XP: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Open the "Add or Remove Programs" control panel and verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Click "Uninstall a program" (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click "Programs and Features"). Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
    Windows 8: Move the cursor to the upper right corner, click the magnifying glass, type Control Panel,and press Return. Click "Uninstall a program". Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
    If Apple Mobile Device Support is not listed, remove iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support, and then reinstall iTunes. Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below:
    Reinstall iTunes for Windows XP
    Reinstall iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    If after reinstalling iTunes Apple Mobile Device Support is still not installed, follow steps in Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

    It has been shown there are problems with the latest update of iTunes and Windows computers. What you need to do is remove and reinstall iTunes, and make sure that you follow the steps in this support document exactly. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923. If you do not follow them exactly, you will just compound your problems. Once you do this, you should have no trouble having the phone recognized in iTunes.
