ITunes says computer not authorized. When I try to authorize computer it says it is already authorized but will not play song
iTunes says computer not authorized. When I try to authorize computer it says it is already authorized but will not play song. Note. Library was moved from PC to MAC. I am signed in to Itunes with the Apple ID created on the old computer which is different than the Apple ID used to set up the MAC.
I'm experiencing the same thing under iTunes 11.1.1:
iTunes says the computer is not authorized, prompts me to authorize
I enter my credentials, iTunes says computer is already authorized
When I attempt to play song, iTunes starts at bullet point 1 above over again.
My attempted fixes:
I tried everything in this support document, to no avail: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389 (Note: I cannot find a SC Info folder on my Mac)
Deauthorize and then reauthorize computer
Delete song and try to redownload from iTunes store - there's only a button that says 'purchased' with no option to redownload it
Note: I am using only one iTunes account, and I double checked the song info - I'm authorizing the correct account - 12 songs from the same album purchased at the same time play fine. As does the song in question - from the finder. Only iTunes stubbornly refuses to play it.
The most odd thing is that iTunes music is DRM free - the song in question was purchased only a few months ago. Thus there's no need to authorize the computer to play it.
I was hoping that iTunes 11.1.1 would cure it - no dice.

I get this message when I try to start Firefox after first logging on after turning on the computer.
Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.
Have rebooted. Works when Administrator logs in, just does this in my user profile. Have also re-intalled. Mo change in my User account.
Firefox was working fine for the last 3 1/2 years. Any suggestions?Firefox is "hanging at exit" when you exit/quit Firefox.<br /><br />

whenever i connect my ipod touch 3rd gen to itunes itunes responds really slowly and when i try and sync it it says sync in progress on my ipod screen but then is stuck with "verifying "matts ipod" at the top of itunes and stays like that for ages.. help
You buy one and only one download.
As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

everytime i want to restore my previews backup to my new iphone, itunes asks for my password, when i enter my password it tells me my password is incorrect, but its not! i have even changed my password. but still nothing! I get the same error from itunes!!!!
Try using your computer password. I tried any password I could think of relating to my phones, but it was none of them; it was, in fact, my computer password.

A lot of my songs, once put on the iCloud, will not download to my iPod. They are in my iTunes library, already downloaded, but will not appear in my library on my iPod. There is no common thread for the origin of the songs--many were ripped from CD's, others purchased in the iTunes store. Before I started using iCloud, all music in my iTunes library was on my iPod without any issues.
- Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
- Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

I have an Dell Inspirion and 2 iPod 4 generation, 8 gig. When I cleared my iPod1 of everything it said I needed to connect with iTunes and I did. Nothing happened. My computer would not register that an iPod was synced. The iPod screen said it was syncing, but that was it. So I deleted everything on my computer connected iTunes. Now when I try and download it from the iTunes store it says error.

When I try to email a photo as an attachment the iphoto file will not load
When I try to email a photo as an attachment the file will not load?
Open iPhoto, and then go to Preferences (under iPhoto in the menu bar). Check these two things:
1. Under the "General" tab, make sure you have set "Email photos using" to "iPhoto".
2. Under the "Accounts" tab, be sure your email account information is set correctly. -
when I try and edit or view my photos the screen goes black but has the options at the bottom and the bar at the top. will someone please help??
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there? -
How do I get an album from Itunes that I have already downloaded to show the complete album again. After the last update it only shows one song. I tried to re purchase the whole album but it will not let me cause I already purchased it. Pease help
The large text size makes your post almost impossible to read.
Excessive use of bold or capitals (also) makes posts difficult to read.
You can drag most of the column headings left or right, or right-click on the header to turn columns on or off.
Once you've used File > Display Duplicates or Shift > File > Display Exact Duplicates you can use File > Display All or the Display All button at the bottom of the list to restore the display.
For general advice on organising your library see this article on Grouping tracks into albums.

When converting Word Doc to PDF Acrobat converts all words and tables but will not convert graphs
When converting a word microsoft word document to PDF Acrobat converts words, tables, everything but the graphs in the document. It will not convert the graphs it leaves that area blank.

Then i turned it on and it was working fine but it ran out of battery and it turned off. I went to put it to charge and it said it was charging so i waited for it to turn on by itself but it never did. It just kept saying low battery charging. I left it to charge ALL night and when i woke up it still said low battery charging!! What can i do to fix this someone please help!!! Reseting it work, ? And how to reset?? THANKS!!!!!
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Please help!!!
I got this under XP before. I was totally baffled until I realized there was a network drive mapped to the same place XP was trying to mount my iPod. The common symptom is that you'll get this sort of "corrupt" error on one machine but it works ok on a friend's machine. If that's true for you, you can change the network drive mapping to another drive letter (easiest) or mount your iPod and change its drive letter in the disk management control panel (under admin tools).
Hope that helps... this one just about had me pulling my hair out until I recognized the problem.
