ITunes is telling me my computer is no longer able play purchased items on my ipod unless i authorize my computer. But it's already authorized.

And when i DO try and authorize it, it's fine but then the error message comes up again. It seems fine, i already synced it once and the music was still there, but i can't apply any new podcasts to it this way since it won't complete the synching process? I think? I don't really know it's just very annoying. Why, if i'm already authorized, is it saying i'm NOT??

Sorry, I don't have a response. I just wanted to say that I have the exact same problem. It started about a week ago and a number of songs that I've purchased have been deleted from my ipod when I sync.
It's very frustrating.

Hey nani91191,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you may simply need to authorize your computer with your Apple ID:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Authorize a computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12303
iTunes 11 for Windows: Authorize a computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12511
Authorize a computer to play iTunes Store purchases: Choose Store > Authorize This Computer.
If you are using a Windows PC, you may need to turn on the menu bar to access the "Store" menu:

My mac pro says "It can't be synced because this computer is no longer authorised for purchased items that are on this iPad.

But when I de-authorise and then re-authorise it says it's already authorised and then the same window pops up saying "It can't be synced because this computer is no longer authorised for purchased items that are on this iPad.
Battled all day.
Removed the SC folder,
Checked iTunes log in is correct.
Checked Itunes is the same country.
Restarted both devices.
Tried different usb ports
Any ideas?

I found the solution to this problem
the apple service helped me actually
the best and the esiest way is to solve this problem :
create a new account (as an administator recomended)
Bonjour servises must be enabled ( go to control panel > administartive tools> sevices> Bounjour services (change the category to large icons if you dont see administartive tools )
install itunes
sign in
authorize
SYNC
it must sync normally
but if the meesage pops up that points on a particular items that could not be synced ( to ur itunes because you are not authorized for this items ) REMOVE THEM
creating a new user account shows the items wich dont let you sync your iPhone
after you REMOVE those **** items that were not authorised , you can go to your old user account and SYNC it as old kind time
was having this problem 2 weeks , and nothing helped except this was. not deleting the SC Info folder, now copying apple folder to some other mobile divce folder
REMEMBER the problem is in your iPhone , it is about the items that are in your iPhone
Thanks to Apple service
for anyone who needs othe heple you r welcome to ask
will hepl you with a pleassure cause i know how I felt this days:)

"The iPod could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorised for purchased items"

Trying to sync a new iphone 5 to my mac to get my music over it keeps telling me that the computer is no longer authorised for purchased items but it is . I have tried de authorising and then redoing it but nothing works

Hi all I am trying to swap my music over from my mac to phone but not having any luck . Although my mac is authorised it keeps saying that its not. I have de authorised it then re done it but still the same . Not up to doing anything drastic and have heard some horror stories about loosing all contacts while messing about with back ups and cant afford to have that happen to me . Ideas anyone ??

Hi leefromwoodford,
The following article will tell you how to transfer purchased music from your iPhone to the your Mac -
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Specifically -
Transferring purchases
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod has your purchased content from the iTunes Store, you can transfer the content to a computer that is authorized for your Apple ID.
Note: This option only works for content you purchased from the iTunes Store (as opposed to content from other sources, such as CDs you may have imported). For content you did not purchase from the iTunes Store, synchronization occurs in one direction only. This means your content can be copied from a computer to your iOS device, but cannot be copied from your device to a computer.
Open iTunes.
From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.
Enter your Apple ID and password. Then, click the Authorize button.
Connect your device your computer. If it is synced with another iTunes library, you may be asked if you want to "Erase and Sync" or "Transfer Purchases."
If that alert appears, click Transfer Purchases.
Important: Clicking Erase and Sync will delete any existing content currently on your device. The content would then be replaced with the content that is on the computer.
If you were not offered the option to transfer purchases:
After connecting your device to the computer, its icon appears in iTunes. Click the icon.
From the File > Devices menu, choose "Transfer Purchases from 'Your device name.'"
Note that the computer must be authorized for the Apple ID under which the purchases were made.
You may also want to download the music directly from the iTunes store, rather than using the iPhone. See this article -
Download past purchases

HT1420 Itunes says my iPhone5 cant be synced because the computer is no longer autorized for purchased items that are on this iPhone. My PC is authorized and my iPhone synced before I reloaded Windows.

Guess that was a title.
My itnes says my iPhone5 can't be synced because the PC is no longer authorized for purchased items on my phone. It worked before Win-7 was reloaded.
I had deauthorized and reauthorized iTunes. Ideas?? - Thanks.

I'm getting this error message "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPod '___'s iPod.' Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?" I have authorized the computer.

I just purchased songs on itunes, I can play them on my windows 7, but when I try to sync the ipod, I get the error "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items on "Stephanie's ipod" Would you like to authorize this computer for purchases from the itunes store. When I authorize it, it says it is already authorized. Then the process starts all over again. Help.

You can't change the Apple ID that the Authorize dialog comes up with by default. It's showing you that Apple ID for a reason: it means that the items you want to play were purchased using that Apple ID and therefore you need to authorize your computer with that Apple ID. Changing the Apple ID given completely defeats the entire purpose.
If you don't know the password to the given Apple ID, then you will no longer be able to play those items.

I got a new PC. I was able to back up the old one and dowloaded my iTunes library. I keep getting a message that says: This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on this iPod." It asks me to authorize, which I have done 20 ti

My old PC died and I got a new one. I was able to back up the old PC and downloaded my iTunes library on the new PC. I keep getting a message saying: "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on this iPod. Would you like to authorize this computer for the items purchased from the iTunes store?" I have authorized the new PC, but it continues to ask me over and over, and if I authorize it again, it tells me I already authorized. So frustrating! I deactivated the old PC and activated the new one.
Also, I purchased a song from iTunes store and while it shows in my library on the PC, it won't download to the iPod. Why won't the new song download to the iPod?
Any ideas. suggestions?

Well Authorize the Computer...........

This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPhone. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?

My itunes on my iMac for the passed few weeks now keeps on comming with the message "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPhone. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?"
or "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPad. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?"
This while everything was working fine.
Please advise what I can do with this message.
When I press autorize, it comes up with a unknow appleID. When I use apple ID's that work - it comes with the message that the computer is autorized. but then the autorization message comes back.

Drag the folder into the library in the open iTunes program window.
