  • Itunes won't play song even though computer is authorized

    Song purchased on itunes won't play  even though computer is authorized, any ideas of how to fix it?

    I did not get an error code just a box came up and said i need to authorize computer, and when i piut in username/password, it says computr is already authorized, ans when i click on the song the same box comes up again.  I have updated Itunes and still no luck.

  • My computer wants me to authorize even though it's authorized; can't play my music

    I'm using a mac mini with Lion 7.1.  Suddenly, tunes I've been playing for years won't play.  They say to authorize my computer, I authorize it and they still won't play.  It's not all songs, just some I bought years ago.  Songs before and after play fine.
    HELP.

    And now, the Apple Support person who said he was going to call me, didn't.  He won't return my emails.  I'm out a couple of hundred dollars of purchased music I was able to play until recently.
    I've authorized, unauthorized … sent in every computer serial number I used to purchase music and the music gets stuck in a loop that asks me to authorize something that's already authorized.  This is obviously an Apple CRM nightmare that iTunes simply refuses to fix. 
    I also have hours of my valuable time gone dealing with Apple's mess.  I really need help and Apple is turning a blind eye. 
    Why would I ever buy any music from iTunes again?  I've never had this issue with Amazon or CD Baby.
    Can someone help me, or will I just get ignored.

  • App Store keeps asking me to update to iTunes 11.1.3, even though that's what I'm already running

    Every time my app store program automatically checks for updates, it wants me to update to iTunes 11.1.3, even though I already have -- many times (and the App Store shows this, in the "updates run in the past 30 days" window). In fact I am running iTunes 11.1.3 right now. What's the problem?

    Hi scoolio,
    Right off the top of head, I can think of two places where "check automatically for updates" can be selected or deselected by the user.
    The first is within the Software Update preferences Pane where one can select daily, weekly or monthly or none.
    Myself I never allow my computer to update anything automatically; rather I conservatively choose doing such things manually to keep my my meager Snow Leopard happily purring.
    The second place that I never select auto check for updates is within iTunes itself.
    I don't know about the App Store. I have found that place to be problematic... so I stay away from it unless I absolutely need to update something that I purchased there. BTW, I'm not happy with the way that the App store is evolving. I guess one could say that it is set-up in a planned obsolescence kind of way. Hoops. Jumping. We don't like it.
    Nonetheless, I would check out the 2 checkboxes that I mentioned just for the sake of knowing how they are set. If that doesn't help then you know it could be the current App Store iteration - which I don't have.
    Regards,
    mm~

  • HT204406 The song "If We Are the Body" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?  This notice keeps coming up even though I have iTunes Match.  What do I do?

    The song “If We Are the Body” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?  This notice keeps coming up even though I have iTunes Match.  What do I do?

    This usually means the original music file has been been deleted from the HDD. If you feel it has not then click "locate" and navigate to where the song file is on the HDD and choose it. You can use Spotlight to locate it if necessary.

  • Hi, When I try to sync my iphone not all the music in my itunes library syncs successfuly even though I have a lot of space left and I have the 'sync all music' option selected. Any idea? Thanks

    Hi, When I try to sync my iphone not all the music in my itunes library syncs successfuly even though I have a lot of space left and I have the 'sync all music' option selected. Any idea? Thanks

    While you're correct in that Windows media won't sync to the iPhone (or any i-device), the OP states that all the music is in iTunes.  If its in iTunes, it would no longer be in Windows media format since it would have been transcoded to whatever the user sets as their import preference (AAC, mp3, etc.), and once that is done then the media should be able to sync to the iPhone just fine.
    To Steph, do the missing songs play OK in iTunes? If not then they could be corrupted in some way.  If they play fine in iTunes but don't sync, are they unchecked in iTunes? They won't sync to your iPhone if it is set to ignore unchecked items.  Finally, if these are iTunes purchases, are they protected format? (i.e. m4p files)  If so, is your computer authorized to play them? (you'd know if you try to play them in iTunes, it would prompt you for the account password if not authorized)

  • ITunes doesn't show even though open, then freezes all applications

    To continue the title of the thread "iTunes doesn't show even though open, then freezes all applications and warns me of a failed raid 1 array on shutdown, even though it works fine"
    Hi, I have this problem where I press the iTunes shortcut and nothing happens. I look a the processes and itunes.exe is running using its normal 34mb of ram (or something like that). After I've done this, if I try to load firefox or IE, they also freeze and won't load.
    Then when I goto restart it warns me of iaamonitor notify app. After googling, I leanrt this is something to do with failing raid 1 arrays, but everything is fine.
    I am now in vista on the same pc using dual boot, where iTunes is running fine, but since this problem has started I have tried deleteing the itunes stuff from application data in the documents and settings, deleting the my music folder, turning off all services and startup that isnt microsoft in msconfig and uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and quicktime. Nothing has worked.
    Can anybody help me? I've read so many pages from google that this seems to of happened to a fair few people in the past and I don't want to have to resort to formatting my PC. Any help would be very appreciated.

    Thank you! You guys are the best! It would have taken me awhile to figure that one out! These Support Discussions have helped me out over and over.

  • Iphone 4 shows keep showing 3G even though i turn off the 3G option

    Hey everyone... need some help and direction here...
         it bothers me a lot, for several times my iphone 4 keep showing 3G even though i turn the 3G option off. This always happen especially when am home, first it looks normal, it shows edge but after several minutes it changes to 3G again and again. i noticed that this thing happened since i upgrade to iOS 5.
         is there anyone here that experiencing the same problem? because i've tried to restore it three times, but nothing changed... thank you for any comments and help..

    Siri does not exist on the iPhone 4, only the iPhone 4S and later have Siri.
    I used the Chat feature in the Contact Us section of the Apple website to try and get some support direct from Apple.
    I discussed the lack of menu options, and provided screenshots. The response came back that it was, and I quote, "super strange" for this to be happening. Yet there are plenty of people reporting this problem on this forum.
    The support person took me through a hard reboot (power button + home button until it restarts). That did not work, and I was then advised to back up the iPhone with iTunes, and then do a restore.
    I did this, it downloaded about 1.2GB of data which I presume was a full, new image of iOS 7.1 (as opposed to the 'upgrade' that had been applied before), and proceeded to load it onto the device.
    The issue still persists, attached are screenshots of my Settings > Passcode menu.

  • How do I get rid of a dialog box that keeps coming back even though I press Cancel?

    How do I get rid of a dialog box that keeps coming back even though I press Cancel?

    I was looking up Olympic stats on  Norwegian website, and must have inadvertently clicked a link. The dialog box says: "There is no application set to open the URL nasjoner:2"
    It goes on to tell me to search the App Store , choose an application, or cancel.

  • HT1373 I downloaded Piezo to my iMac about a month ago. Now I can't download it to my laptop even though I have authorized the MacBook Pro in iTunes. When I open the App Store, the Piezo app indicates that I have to pay. How do I download Piezo to my lapt

    I downloaded Piezo to my iMac about a month ago. Now I can't download it to my laptop even though I have authorized the MacBook Pro in iTunes. When I open the App Store, the Piezo app indicates that I have to pay. How do I download Piezo to my laptop, which I am entitled to do?

    I'm running Snow Leopard on my iMac. I have a heap of documents that were created using an old word processor application called Apple Works and it wont work on Lion or Mt Lion. So I'm stuck with Snow leopard for the moment. I guess I can't use the new iPhoto either then...

  • My iphone time keeps messing up even though its on "set automatically" and i dont know how to fix it

    my iphone 5cs' time keeps messing up even though its set to "set automatically" the time doesnt change and i have no idea how to fix it. any help please?

    I'm having the EXACT same problem! I have a great wifi connection and it all started right after I updated it.
    I took it to the AT&T store and all they said that they could do for it was a "soft restart" which is where you hold down the lock button and the home button UNTIL you see the apple logo. And I did this like 4 times and it still messes up. When I turn it off and turn it on its fine for a few minutes but it slowly starts messing up again.
    And I'm also having several glitches. Like when I just received a text message when my phone was locked I slid it and put in my pass code then it like turned off and turned on my phone. And sometimes the messages that I send disappear from my side even though I sent them. If I turn it off then back on it's there. And also sometimes when I text a person and hit send it like backs me out of the messaging system(it still sends the message right then)  and back to the home screen.
    I called 1-800-myiphone and the lady did a "soft restart" which they call a "hard restart" and it worked for like 35 minutes and then it messed up again. And my iCloud isn't backing up my stuff so it's not like I can just completely reset my phone.
