ITunes not authorizing under MS Vista

After upgrading to MS Vista iTunes was deauthorized. I reauthorized it and it increased the counter of authorized machines by 1, but still won't play any songs. Asks for authorization every time I click on a song, I go thru the process it responds that the machine is now successfully authorized, but it isn't. Any ideas anybody?

If you uninstall iTunes manually and reinstall it, I
think the problem goes away. I've got a couple known
problems with XP + iTunes with a Vista upgrade
applied that I know about and this is one. But I
think that uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes after
Vista is installed should clear some of them up.
Though let me be the first to tell you that not even
Visual Studio works on the Vista RTM that was
released on Friday, so expecting iTunes to might be a
bit optimistic.
No, didn't help. It seems that Vista is preventing iTunes from writing the authorization information to disk. I checked the event log though and found no entries.

  • ITunes not authorizing on new computer

    I just purchased a new computer, authorized iTunes (3rd computer), and transferred all of my music, apps, movies, etc.  Now when I tried to sync with any of our devices, it will not sync some purchased songs claiming they "were not copied because they were not authorized for this computer."  iTunes tells me the computer is authorized and I've gone through the steps on apple's website to troubleshoot.  Still no luck.

    Transferring tracks from an iPod back to iTunes has been covered here a number of times already, but again:
    First, you need to prevent automatic synchronzation with a blank copy of iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer, click "cancel" when iTunes presents the dialog box offering to synchronize to the iPod. Or hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys in Windows. This should stop the iPod from auto synching with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
    Then if you're using iTunes 7, you can then copy music that you purchased from the iTunes Store back to iTunes directly (use the Transfer Purchases From iPod command under the iTunes File menu).
    If you're not using iTunes 7 or want to copy back other tracks, the easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
    It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:

  • Photoshop Elements does not start under Windows Vista

    The Twain-Module of my Canon CanoScan FS4000US Filmscanner works only under Windows Vista (no newer OS!). Fortunately I own an older Notebook with Vista as OS, so I have PSE Version 5.0.2 installed and use it to import my old color negatives via the twain module. Fine! It even works with 42 bit. But suddenly, PSE refuses to start and freezes at the window loading the libraries. At this stage it can only be stopped with the help of the task manager. A little search in the internet informs me that I am not the only user with that specific problem. Any help from Adobe?

    After a view days of searching a found a solution: I installed the MS Visual C++ Reditributable für Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 (both 32 bit and 64 bit) and now Photoshop Elements runs without any problems.

  • Movie downloaded off of iTunes not authorized

  • PURCHASED iTUNES NOT AUTHORIZED FOR DIGITAL EXPORT

    I am trying in vein to burn the songs I have bought in the iTunes store to a CD so I can play them in my car. However they come with a small padlock symbol in the top left corner. If I try to burn them onto a CD, a message comes up saying the song is not authorized for digital export. I have chosen audio CD in iTunes-preferences-advanced-burning, but this has no effect, I have authorized my computer also. Does this mean I have wasted my money buying these tunes and have to sit at my mac to listen to them and nowhere else?? This is making my blood boil!

    Dragging it to the desktop is the problem. It sounds like you're not burning the disk from within iTunes. Create a playlist in iTunes and select Burn Playlist to Disc. And make sure the iTunes prefs for Burning are set to Audio CD. I have an iTunes store purchase in my library that is burned to CD and plays in my car. When I just dragged that track to my desktop, I see the little lock you're speaking of. Try burning from iTunes and it should work.

  • TS1389 Error message: transfer purchases from iphone into itunes not authorized.  But the computer IS authorized.  Any suggestions?  Thanks

    Trying to transfer purchases from iphone into itunes I keep getting error that computer is not authorized.  But it IS authorized,  any suggestions?  Thanks,

    It's a straightforward port-forwarding issue.
    You need to forward ports to the internal ip address of your apple tv as follows:
    TCP 123
    TCP 3689
    UDP 5353
    TCP 80
    TCP 4343
    TCP 53
    This may also solve other problems you may have with homesharing...

  • Is there a fix for iTunes not running under Windows 8.1 Operating System?

    I used iTunes for Windows, on my Dell Tower PC, successfully under Windows 7 to import CD tracks and share them with my iPad and iPhone using iTunes Match but since I upgraded my operating system to Windows 8 and then 8.1, iTunes for Windows will not run, despite my downloading the latest versions as they become available; I receive no error message!

    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.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • My 5th Generation iPod will not sync under Windows Vista

    Wow.. I finally got registered on this forum, took ages lol.
    Well I've got the latest version of the iTunes software and I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium.
    When I connect my iPod, it detects ok and then iTunes starts to sync it.. after about five seconds or so I get an error stating I do not have sufficient privelages to update the "My Music" folder, and thus my iPod will not update. Immediately after this error I check device manager, and a "USB Mass Storage Device" is detected with an error state (a yellow exclamation mark next to it). I can delete this from device manager, re-connect my iPod and it will do exactly the same all over again.
    Can anyone help?

    I've had it working in the past, thats what is odd.
    It just refuses to update saying I don't have the necessary privelages.
    Not sure when the next version of iTunes will be released, hope its soon.

  • IPod classic 160GB not detected under Windows Vista

    Hi,
    I was trying to find something on that problem, but obviously all the problems with iPod and Vista are slightly different.
    Here's my story:
    Toshiba Portege R400
    Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit
    iPod Classic 160GB
    iTunes 7.6.0.29
    USB 2.0
    When I try to connect iPod to the computer NOTHING happens. Not that it starts searching for drivers or something like that. NOTHING.
    The same iPod works fine with another computer but there's XP. I haven't tried it with different Vista so far.
    USB ports are fine cause other devices like mouse or headphones work fine.
    What else... I re-installed iTunes 3 times so far, didn't help. I also have the latest updates for Vista (at least Windows Update says that).
    I know there are some workarounds to point different folder to look for drivers etc. But I don't even have the opportunity, cause nothing happens.
    I've noticed one thing: when the iPod is plugged-in and I turn on the comp then, the iPod display flashes. It doesn't say it's connected but it reacts. And that's all. Later it comes back to normal "not working".
    Have anyone encountered similar problem?
    Regards
    Tomek

    I have the same problem and I have Windows XP on 2 machines with iTunes. I plug the iPod in and it is not detected at all.
    I plugged it into my girlfriends laptop (also XP) without iTunes and it is detected and works fine.
    I have uninstalled iTunes and that does not help, it's like the iPod Classic 160GB is invisible on my 2 main machines...

  • Single song from album purchased through itunes not authorized

    I purchased an album through iTunes a few weeks ago and it worked fine. Yesterday and today, however, I am unable to play one track of the album. When I try, it asks me to log in to authorize my computer (to which it says, it's already authorized). But I'm not able to play this song... I purchased the album via iTunes as a whole album and all of the other songs on the album play fine.
    I've tried deauthorizing the itunes and then authorizing it again, but no luck.

    The song that will not play, may be corrupted and did not download properly. If you are in  a country, where you can download past purchases again, move the song to the Trash, but don't empty the Trash, then download the song again.
    See:  Downloading past purchases

  • Firefox version 3.5.16 will not start under Windows Vista and Windows 7 32bit

    I have a Windows Vista computer that will not start any newer version of Firefox than 3.5.16. The process will run (as seen in the Task Manager) but do nothing.
    I have since updated Windows to version 7 and the problem persists.
    I have tried uninstalling Firefox and all Addons (flash-player, pdf-reader) and deleting all files (even user-specific ones).
    Firefox can't be started in Profilemanger or safe-mode either.
    Is there anything short of reinstalling windows I can try?

    Solved it!
    It was a dodgy version of Firebug (1.6.2) running, which would kill the disable/update process. It was killing something on the first run that would corrupt my Firefox.
    How I fixed it:
    * Download the latest Firefox
    * Install Firefox 4 (as Standard) in-place upgrade
    * Before finishing, un-tick the "Run Firefox Now" button
    * Hit Finish
    * Find Firefox in the Start Menu and hold Shift and click the executable (safe mode)
    * Leave everything disabled
    * You should now have a working Firefox!
    Remove/update your add-ons as needed. I only had to upgrade Firebug in safe mode to get it working.
    Odd how the check for updates completely broke this Firefox, wonder what was so bad about Firebug.
    Hope this helps at least one other person! The "Run in Safe Mode" option is so hard to discover now when your browser is broken!

  • ITunes not authorizing my purchased content on my ATV2

         I cannot get purchased content from iTunes to play on my ATV2 - Is there a specific way to authorize your ATV2?  I've signed in to my iTunes store account and iCloud account on ATV2, but they still won't authorize.  When I press play it starts "loading" but then it doesn't do the "Authorizing" - help!!!!

    Nevermind, sharing my music on a home network or something like that fixed it on preferences

  • Every movie purchase through iTunes fails to transfer to my iPhone or iPad and the message I get is this: some of the items in the itunes library, including were not copied to the ipad because you are not authorized for them on this computer... help?

    For a couple months now, every movie purchase through iTunes fails to transfer to my iPhone or iPad giving me the error: "some of the items in the iTunes library, including were not copied to the iPad because you are not authorized for them on this computer". I have read many forums about deleting, reinstalling, de-authorizing and authorizing my iMac through the iTunes store. Many suggestions don't work except to rename the movie to *.MP4 in Finder under the iTunes movie directory. I imagine this is a setting or a bug somewhere... any suggestions on how to bypass having to rename the files in Finder? My research into Google suggests this problem dates back to 2007 or so but it is now more prevalent than ever.
    Thanks.

  • My itunes will not open in Windows Vista, I have tried everything suggested on the apple website, there is some type of plug-in issue..can someone please help me?

    Hello, 
    I need help! My itunes will not open in Windows Vista. I have tried everything suggested by the apple website. Even when I open itunes in safe mode, it still will not allow me to continue. I am assuming when it says something about Plug-ins that has something to do with the problem. Can anyone help me?

    Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply. 
    I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago.  I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam.  I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase. 
    Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions.  Could you please explain? 
    I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.
