It's corrupt. Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country.

iTunes says my computer isn't authorized to play one of the songs I just downloaded, but all the rest of them work. That song works on my iPad so why won't it work on my computer or my iPod? It says my computer isn't authorized to play that song so I type in my password and it pops up with a menu saying my computer is already authorized and it skips to the next song. No matter what I do it won't play that song on my laptop or my iPod.
Could be a Corrupt download of that song...
If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music...
Delete the Song(s) and re-download...

Itunes says my computer isn't authorized to play certain songs but it is.
Due to poor planning on our part, my wife and I have three apple ID's. For some reason, iTunes now won't play music that was purchased with the oldest apple ID. Whenever I try to play a song bought with that ID, I get a message saying "This computer is not authorized to play 'Song Name.' Would you like to authorize it?" I am then prompted to enter the password for the apple ID. After I've done that, I get a message saying "This computer is already authorized." However, it still won't play anything. I've searched throughout this forum and found similar issues, but all of the solutions seem to be tailored to previous OS and versions of iTunes. I'm using Mountain Lion and have iTunes 11.2. I've tried deleting all of the com.apple.iTunes files from Library, but that didn't seem to do anything. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.
Thanks. I had already read that article and followed the steps. The article is outdated and appears to be talking about a previous version of iTunes and/or OS X (I couldn't find a SC Info folder anywhere). I did figure out the issue on my one. One of my apple ID's is fakeappleid and the other is [email protected] When I clicked "Get Info" on the songs that weren't authorized anymore, it said that they were associated with the fakeappleid user name. Also, iTunes kept prompting me to enter the fakeappleid login info and then telling me that the computer was already authorized. Only when I tried re-authorizing my computer for [email protected] would my songs play. So the confusion lies with the fact that iTunes was telling me one apple ID wasn't authorized my computer when it was actually another apple ID that wasn't authorized. Hope that makes sense.

Ipod won't sync b/c Itunes says my computer isn't authorized but it is
I built a new computer but Itunes hasn't recognized my Ipod (seperate issue)so right now I'm syncing it to a netbook connected to the same external hard drive I use with my main new computer with my music on the drive. I have authorised the computer to my account but some files (mostly videos) still won't sync because itunes thinks that the computer isn't authorized even though it is. How can I fix this?
I had that problem myself just last week, and this is what Apple told me to do. It worked for me.
Choose Start > Computer.
Choose Organize > Folder and Search Options.
Click the View tab.
In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
Click OK.
Navigate to the following location by either typing it into the address bar, copying and pasting it into the address bar, or clicking through the folder hierarchy listed:
C:\Program Data\Apple Computer\iTunes
Right-click the SC Info folder shown and from the shortcut menu, choose Delete.
Restart the computer.
Open iTunes.
Authorize your computer to play your purchases. -
I have a new computer and have continually had problems syncing. Now it says computer is no longer authorized to play purchases on my iPhone. When I put in password etc. to authorize, it says it is already authorize. Then it syncs up to step 5 and repeats again. I have tried entering my password about ten times. Same thing. It is already authorized. But then when I try to sync, it says it is not authorized!
The computer is new and I guess this is more of a computer than an iPhone problem, isn't it?
Is the computer a Mac?
If so, perhaps also give the following document a try:
iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization -
I know there are several threads similar to this one, but I wanted to start my own and include the exact messages that keeps popping up. Today when I tried to sync (by USB) my iPhone 4, I got the following sequence of messages:
1) "This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the iPhone "MyName". Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store? If you do not authorize this computer, 11 apps and their data will be deleted from this phone."
2) My options are to click on "Cancel", "Don't Authorize", or "Authorize"... I click on "Authorize."
3) I then enter in my Apple ID and password and get the following message...
4) "This computer is already authorized. Including this one, you have authorized one computer out of your available 5."
5) I then click "OK" and message #1 pops back up. This cycle repeats over and over.
So far I've gone into "Shared" folder and do not have a SC file to delete. I've deauthorized and authorized my computer. I've started and restarted my computer after deauthorizing and authorizing and nothing seems to work. To make matters more frustrating, I haven't made any changes and everything was working great a week ago. I also don't think it's in iPhone issue because a week ago I downloaded a song and got a similar message sequence when I tried to play the song. Any help would be greatly appreciated.The computer is new and I guess this is more of a computer than an iPhone problem, isn't it?

I tried getting rid of the SC folder and deauthorizing the computer. Any other ideas?
I fixed the same issue here with a short walk through!

Itunes says my computer is not authorized to play songs on the nano.
I connected my Nano( 2nd gen) synched it with my itunes and transferred some songs a few days ago.
Today, I wanted to add some songs I missed but now Itunes is saying my computer isn't authorized to play songs on it. When I try to authorize it (the window pops up for my itunes store password) I get an error from the itunes store. Specifically it says unknown error (-42408).
What does it mean and how do I make it stop?Hello Sesquipedelianne,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you upgraded to the latest version of iTunes? This error message was common for people who were just upgrading to version 9, but it was resolved as of 9.1.

Otherwise, if that is not the case, you might find a few more possible solutions in this older thread.

I downloaded an album but some of the songs won't play - says my computer isn't authorized to play the song. I checked the authorization, and this computer is authorized. How do I fix this?
If just some of the tracks on the album are doing that, that suggests those tracks are damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items. -
How does one fix the problem of iTunes saying my computer is not authorized to play songs I've recently purchased, even though I continue to sign in for authorization? This is bullcrap.
Okay, that sounds like the dodgy tracks have been getting damaged during the download.
