ITunes says i need to authorize, but i already did!

So i recently got an iphone 4s, but I used to have an ipod touch. I got all my apps to transfer from the ipod to my iTunes library on my computer, but now I can't get SOME of them to transfer from the library to my new iphone. For example, when i try to drag the game "Cut the Rope" from the library into the iphone, it says "The app 'Cut the Rope' was not installed on the iPhone because you are not authorized for it on this computer." So i went to Store > Authorize This Computer and a message pops up saying "This computer is already authorized." I tried putting Cut the Rope onto my iphone again, and it still says the same exact thing: "The app 'Cut the Rope' was not installed on the iPhone because you are not authorized for it on this computer."
What's wrong? It's happening to 7 of my apps.

Hi,
Track probably corrupted on download.
Delete track from library and move to trash. Go to iTunes Store > purchased and redownload.

I purchased a film but it won't play because iTunes says I need to authorize the computer, but when I do that it says the computer is already authorized. Huh - some system. Any ideas?

ITunes says it needs to upgrade but the download never works. What's wrong?

One day I got on iTunes to put some music on my iPod Nano (one of the older versions), and always before when I plugged it in and came up and said it was plugged in, but then it didn't recognize it! This went on for several months, me never being able to put more music on my iPod.
Finally I got the newest Nano for my birthday and I figured it'd work, but the same problem is going on! I've had the brand new iPod for 3 months and it doesn't have ANY music on it!
It does come up and ask if I want to download a newer version of iTunes, that it needs that one to work right (version 8.2 something I think). I go to download it, it takes a while, and then comes up and says the download was unsuccessful, I've tried about 30 times, and it never works.
What is going on?

Instead of trying to update iTunes +from within iTunes+, go to Apple's page where you can download the iTunes 8.2.1 installation file -- save the file, don't run it direct from the download. Once downloaded to your computer, then run the installation file.
If that does not fix the problem, then remove the following software from your computer (you won't lose your music): iTunes, Quicktime, and something called "Apple Mobile Device Services". Once you remove those programs, then run the iTunes installer file (from above) again. That will install all three of these programs and should fix your problem.

Website says I need latest version but I already have...

Hello everyone I've got a bit of a problem with watching video's on a website..
The website, or more specifically the video on the website, says I need to download a newer version (10 or higher) of Adobe Flashplayer in order to watch.
But the thing is I already HAVE the latest version 11 (I'm sure of this, saw it on the Adobe website and it was active, version 11 etc.)
and I can see it in the list in my Internet Explorer as well so Internet Explorer itself seems aware I already have the latest version...
So I think this website somehow doesn't "know" or "see" that I've got flashplayer, maybe flashplayer isn't "switched on" or sth in my internet browser is blocking flashplayer or maybe the website?
I have no idea where to start searching since I'm not familiar with actively using flashplayer.
I don't even know how to enter the program however I've checked some settings via the Settings manager (which I saw and could access via the Adobe website) but somehow this video website, which I visit frequently, is not in the list of "visited websites" there..:S Can I somehow add a website to this list? Or is this "settings manager" via the Adobe website not the answer to my problem?
I've also read about some ppl who use an "Active X box" of some sort, I have no idea where to look for that, could that help me change my flashplayer settings?
The weirdest thing of all of this is: I watched a video on the same website only yesterday, which also required flashplayer, and somehow that worked... I checked the exact same video today: it didn't work! So somehow something must've changed since yesterday, only explanation I can think of... So that's what got me thinking it's some sort of setting or sth that's switched off in the flashplayer program itself...
Srr if this message is kinda long but I've got no idea what's causing it, so I'm trying to give as much info as I can here
I'd really appreciate the help! Getting kinda desperate here...

"ActiveX" is a 20 year old technology used by Microsoft (and ONLY by Microsoft anymore) to enable content in Internet Exploder.
Setting Flash Player storage by site is simple:
Right click ANY Flash content.
Select "Global Settings"... your Flash Player settings will open (Control Panel).
Under the Storage tab, click "Local Storage Settings by Site".
Click "Add...".
Type (or paste) the web address of the site you need to allow, and choose "Allow" from the dropdown menu at the right.
Click "Add" and close the window.
If you need to reinstall:
Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking one of the following links ans selecting "Save target as" (IE) or "Save Link as" (Firefox).
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Save the file(s) to your downloads folder - DO NOT RUN anything yet.
Reboot your system.
BEFORE opening anything else, run the installer(s) from your downloads folder.

Itunes says Ipad needs 11.1 but Ipad says up to date at 7.1.2 whats the deal

I tunes says it is unable to use my Ipad unless it is updated to 11.1 or greater but when I attempt to upgrade I get a message that says you arfe up to date at 7.1.2 they have always worked together but today nothing.

You have to download and install iTunes 11 on your computer in order to sync the iPad with your computer. That is what the message means.

ITunes saying I need newer QuickTime, but I have latest upgrade

I just reinstalled my operating system, and I'm in the process of migrating files from my external drive back to my internal.
I'm trying to use iTunes, but it keeps telling me I need QuickTime v7.5.5 or later, and the version I currently have (with no software updates available) is 7.2.1
How can I get the later version of QT so I can continue to use iTunes?
I haven't encountered this problem before so I'm not sure how to get around it.
Thanks

Hi Jordan,
I think this is the version you need...
http://support.apple.com/downloads/QuickTime_7_6_for_Leopard
I think the reason no SWUPD shows is that it checks Library>Receipts for one thing to see which QT PKG stubs are in there, & likely thus wasn't an erase & install.

When I try to sync a game on my iPod touch iTunes tell me that I need to authorize but it already is

Help please

besides the type of file, as mentioned in the other post, you also have to watch out for the pixel size (height/width).
check out:
http://handbrake.m0k.org/
there are a couple of links with conversion instructions, which also give the relevant information as to which files formats and sizes the iPod will take

Error exporting... Says I need to render but I already have!

When I go to export my project as an MPEG 2, red bars appear over the timeline as if I haven't rendered and I get a message telling me that I need to render before exporting. I have rendered the project so I have no idea what the problem is. It will let me export the project as a Qucktime movie.
Thanks for your help!

for export to MPEG2 you need to render everything ... even th ebits that fcp can playback in full res without rendering
go to you sequence render menu and make sure that even "Full" has a checkmark , then render again.
this time it should work

You should only make purchases for all your devices using a single Apple ID. There is no need, and indeed a good reason not to, set up a new Apple ID with each new device purchase. While items purchased under different IDs can be played on a single device, you cannot merge Apple IDs and it makes it cumbersome.
Apple IDs do not expire but may become dormant and require reactivation if they are not actively used.
You should make note of your Apple ID and passwords and keep a record of it. Like a bank account it contains access to items with value. Update your Apple ID email address as they change.
I see you were guided to this forum by a help page on recovering your password. If that is not sufficient try the links below. Apple will need to verify you are indeed to owner of the accounts to which you are trying to gain access.

Try:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
Also, are you sure you authorized the right account? Could some media be purchased with another account?

My iPad won't sync. It says I need to authorize my iPad but it is already authorized.

Been having issues getting tv episodes to appear on my iPad. Once I try to sync, a message says I need to authorize the computer, but I have already done this. I am stumped as to what to do. Btw, my episodes appear on my pc.

Here is an Apple kb article that talks about the issue that you are experiencing - the repeated request for authorization. Maybe you can find something in here that will work.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
The one other thing that I noticed as I quickly scanned this article - are you logged into your PC as the administrator of the PC? Sometimes that can be a problem.

Have you tried to download one of the shows directly to the iPad? If you are in the U.S. you can download the shows again for free - go the the purchased tab of iTunes and download them in there. Perhaps if you download one directly to the iPad - it will open the "unauthorized" channel and allow you to sync them from iTunes again.

HT1420 I bought song with itunes card. The song won't play on my computer or devices. The messages says I need to authorize my computer to play the song. However, when I "authorize" my computer I get message that this computer is already authorized.

and, what is even more strange...
I actually bought 2 Billy Joel songs NY State of Mind from Essential Billly Joel and Italian Restaurant from Greatist Hits vol 1. Neither song would play.
I went back the Apple store and tried to re-download NYSOM. It let me do it for free. Before I checked I tried to re-dowload IR but inadvertantly selected same song but from The Stranger. I had to pay for this one. The re-downloaded NYSOM still didn't work but IR I bought from Stranger worked. So, I bought NYSOM from Greatest Hits vol 1. Didn't work!!! Tried again and bought from another album, Turnstiles, and that one worked. So, I bought 5 songs, only 2 of which will work.
So, now I ask - is there any way to get my money back?

I want to play a song I bought but when I press play it says I need to authorize my PC but when I put in my Apple ID it says its already authorized. What should I do to be able to play the song?

Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country.

I am so sorry I am frustrating you. This is the first time I have used this community and am leanring as I go. I am not able to see the entire post that you leave, unless I look at it on my phone (email)--I am so sorry. You have no idea how much i appreciate your help. Yes, I see that I can get the later version of OS software, but its not availabe for immediate download. My only options appear to be having it shipped, or going to the store to purchase. And if you know of another way that I can access all of my itunes library music on my new phone withouth using itunes, I would love to hear about it.--thanks and again i am so sorry for frustrating you.
