ITunes says that my iPhone doesn't authorize my computer to access it

Hi!
When I plug my iPhone in my MacBook Pro (with a new clean install of Mavericks) and I open iTunes it says that iTunes is waiting for autorization from the iPhone.
The problem is that nothing happens on the iPhone and iTunes just says that my iPhone doesn't allow the computer to acces it, and therefore I can't acces my phone from the iTunes on my computer.
I tried logout/login on iTunes, unplug/plug again, reboot and more and nothing changes, no acces to my phone ...
I don't know what to do anymore ...

Log out of the iTunes Store on your device:
Settings>iTunes & App Store...tap your Apple ID, then select "Sign Out"
Reset your device:
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
After the device has restarted, sign back in to the App Store as above.

ITunes says that my iPhone 4S is an iPhone 4

Hi, I have a problem with my iPhone 4S, I make a clean restore to iOS 6.1.2 and now iTunes says that it´s and iPhone 4, I try to restore a few times more and it continues equal. I also try with other Macs and iTunes continue saying that it´s an iPhone 4.
¿What can I do?.

Why do you need to do anything?
Itunes cannot make an iphone 4s and iphone 4.
If it is an iphone 4s, then nothing will change that.

Itunes says that my iphone is already synced with with a different library

I have recently reformatted my PC. Stupidly i didnt make a copy of my iphone backup.
now that itunes is now reinstalled onto my pc, when i try to manage my iphone it pops up with a error message saying,
'The iphone is synced with another itunes library. Do you want to erase this iphone and sync with this itunes library?'
the problem is that if i erase the iphone i will lose all my music, contacts, and apps.
is there a way to tell itunes that the old library doesnt exist anymore? and import all the data from my iphone to the pc so a backup can be made?

The iPhone's backup maintained by iTunes does not include any iTunes content and it does not include any photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone.
In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced or manually managed with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from your iPhone first, but your entire iPhone is not erased when doing so.
After reformatting your computer's hard drive, your computer is detected as a new or different computer by your iPhone.
Did you include your iTunes library with your computer's backup along with all other important data before reformatting the hard drive? If not, you should have. The iPhone is not designed or intended to be used as a backup storage device.
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
First you need to re-authorize your computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
Although contacts are included with your iPhone's backup, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer. With Windoze, this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007 along with syncing calendar events, or with Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only - the address book used by Outlook Express or Windows Mail.
If you don't have Outlook 2003 or 2007 available and you don't use Windows Contacts for storing contact info on your computer, before syncing contacts enter one contact in Windows Contacts. Make this contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select. Syncing contact with Windows Contacts is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. This way you will have all contact info available on your computer also which should be included with your computer's backup in the event your iPhone is lost or stolen.

Why does itunes say that my iphone has 9GB of video data even though I've deleted every video I've ever made

Hello,
When I use itunes on my macbook to view the contents of my iphone 5, the bar at the bottom of the window that shows me how much data is taken up for different categories says that I have 9 GB of video data. The thing is, I deleted all of the videos that I've ever recorded on my phone, but itunes still says I have 9.15 GB of video data! I ejected my iphone and plugged it back in multiple times to see if it was a problem with refreshing, but that didn't work. Itunes also says that I only have about 3 GB of free space left and when I go to the settings on my iphone, it says the same thing, so I know that there really are mysterious files on my iphone taking up 9 GB of space. Also, both itunes and my iphone says that I have 83 video files. I've deleted as much apps as I could, just incase there were apps that had video files included in them, but that didnt really work. I also opened the video app in utilitties on my iphone and it said that I do not have ANY videos. I don't really know what else to do.
Is there any way to just see all of the files on my iphone? Itunes does not let me do that. It only lets me view certain files from apps like adobe reader. I need to find out what video files itunes is detecting on my iphone. Again, I've deleted all of the videos that I made on the phone by using the photos app. I never downloaded video files from safari either.
Thanks in advance

since moving to the mac from windows, this seems to happen less. I also found that having some videos marked as "remember playback position" resulted in a lot of updates to the ipod when i had watched them through itunes.

Why itune say that could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items are on this iphone?

Dear All.
Pls help to solve this problem for me cos i try to many time but cant done...

Thank you, KirthikaVijayakumar
I'm happy to hear that worked for you.
But I've got so many apps, and a lot of them have important data that I don't want to risk losing by deleting them all. Surely that can't be the only way to solve this problem. Help, Apple!
Both my devices - iPhone 4S with iOS5.1.1 and iPad Mini with iOS6.1.3 - have suddenly become unable to sync purchased items because "this computer is no longer authorized". But when I authorize my computer, I'm told it was already authorized.

I'm using a new computer and to open one website I have to answer the security questions each time saying that the site doesn't recognize this computer.

Each time I try to open my "ubt" website, I get a message that says the site does not recognize this computer so I have to answer the security questions each time. I get the message "You are attempting to log in to your account from a computer that we do not recognize..." All other websites work just fine. The Mac store person could not figure it out. This site works on Safari, but I prefer Firefox.

The ipod is not a backup device. The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases: Without syncing:File>transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

Thanks for your advice, I went to the apple shop today for a face to face meeting with a tech and he checked everything and could not figure out why I was having this problem so we decided to give up on that account and create a whole new one for me using a different email address.
Now I can download apps on both my iPhone and ipad2.
If anyone is reading this in Brisbane Australia go to the Chermside apple shop and ask for Wade. He was fantastic!

I recently updated and restored my Iphone on a Mac. My music was erased, therefore, I am trying to sync all of the music from my computer into the iPhone, but it says that I need to use the original computer/itunes in order to sync, but it is the same computer and iTunes account. The error reads: The iPhone, "Name" is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and a sync with this iTunes library? If I click "Erase and Sync," will it delete my contacts, apps, etc?

AT this point whatever data you have on yoru phone is already gone since it is in recovery mode.
However you can restore from your backup, when your phone reboots from recovery.
YOu do have a backup right?

When I hook my iPhone 5s to my computer iTunes says that it cant connect I need 11.0.5 well I just downloaded iTunes to my computer like 3 days ago so I redownloaded the newest version on Apple.com and I reinstalled it and gave me the same error. Any suggestions?

Try going to this address (it is Apple). It will detect your operating system and suggest the version you want. I too am on Windows and it correctly selected the 64bit version of 11.1

Itunes says that i need 10.5 to get the new iphone software, but i already have 10.5 itunes

itunes says that i need itunes 10.5 to get the new iphone software, but i already have 10.5 itunes. i cant seem to figure out how to get the new iphone software cause it keeps telling me to download updates, and then it does and update search and says im all updated.

I had a similar issue. I had to uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it. Assuming PC, you have to go to the control panel and use the uninstall applications tool. Then install it again. Worked for me.

I recently installed a new computer.
How do I authorize it?

If the computer's running Mac OS X, move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store, and choose Authorize this Computer.
If the computer's running Windows, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.
