Itunes will not authorize apple tv

Has anyone experienced a similar problem?
1)  We have 5 apple computers (4 computers and 1 mac mini server all running 10.6.8).  Additionally, we have 3 ipads, 3 iphones and 2 apple tvs (1st generation).  We consolidate all of our movie purchases on to the server.  All 5 computers are authorized for home sharing.  At various times, if we are traveling, we will download a movie on one of our laptops.  Later we move it to the server (to have everything in one place).
2)  We have recently encountered an issue where movies purchased on itunes will not stream to the apple tvs.  Specifically, a message appears on the apple tv that a movie is not authorized.  The movies stream fine to the ipads (via our wireless network).  This seems to be a recent issue as before the recent upgrades to itunes, this was not a problem.
Has anyone else encountered this? 
If so, what did you do to get the movies to play on the apple tv?
thx.

Thanks; however, this did not work.
More specifically, by removing the SC Info folder, the situation gets worse.  By doing so, itunes purchased movies (that I previously was able to view) can not be streamed to the apple tvs.

  • ITunes will not authorize "Protected AAC" files

    After dealing with this for a week, I'm going to try and seek help here.
    Second Tier Express Lane Support Agent has confirmed that my iTunes will not authorize any "Protected AAC" files in my library (1303 files total).  They have no idea why and have referred me back to iTunes Store support, which has not been able to help.  None of the affected files are available for redownload from the iTunes Store.  None of the items are available as "iTunes Plus" downloads (according to iTunes Store).
    When I try to play one of the affected songs (or videos), I am asked to authorize the computer by entering Apple ID and password.  Once I enter that information, I receive a pop up window that indicates the computer is already authorized and the file will not play.  Same thing when attempting to sync with an iPod.
    I have tried the following steps in order to remedy the problem:
    Turn off User Account Control
    Sign out then sign back in to iTunes store
    Sign out, deauthorize computer, exit iTunes, delete the SC Info folder, restart computer, sign back in to the iTunes store, authorize computer
    Uninstall iTunes, restart computer, install iTunes
    Restore library from backup
    Some additional information:
    I am running the latest version of iTunes.
    All songs were purchased using the same Apple ID (confirmed)
    Incoming and Outgoing connections for iTunes are allowed in the firewall (and turning firewall off had no effect)
    iTunes Store confirms only one computer is authorized
    Previous version of iTunes was 10.0 (could that be part of the problem?)

    UPDATE:
    This issue was finally resolved by a second level iTunes agent.
    Apparently, we somehow had two iTunes accounts with the SAME APPLE ID, so it was necessary to change one of the Apple ID's to a different email address so the original account could be restored.  The downside is we now have two accounts rather than one, but the good side is, at least we have access to all our content again.
    I hope this posting might help someone else with a similar problem.

  • Previously purchased iTunes will not authorize or play

    Hi,
    I am having an iTunes Authorization problem.
    In the past I purchased 55 songs from iTunes using the account name I had at that time (also my email at that time). Later I signed up for a .Mac account and got a new email and I changed my iTunes account name to that new email. I purchased items under this new name. Everything was fine ( i.e. - I could play all of my music ) until I downloaded and installed the latest iTunes 7.0.1. Playing of all music and syncing to my iPod was working fine even after I installed iTunes 7.0.0.
    Here is what is happening now:
    Items purchased from iTunes under the current iTunes account name play fine on my Mac and transfer to my iPod.
    Items purchased in from iTunes under my former iTunes account name will NOT play on my Mac and I get a message when I try to sync my iPod saying that I am not authorized to play 55 items and that they will NOT be transferred to my iPod. When I try to play one of these 55 songs on my Mac I get the pop-up asking me to authorize the old iTunes account name. When I type in the password iTunes says the account does not exist and authorization fails. So I CANNOT play any of these 55 songs that I purchased.
    What can I do to fix this ? I have 55 songs that I paid for from the Apple iTunes store that are now rendered worthless to me. Please help !!

    I've already tried the DVD drive with the same results. iTunes also will not burn from the library or an inserted disc. Other programs allow me to burn CD's, but not DVD's. (That's a whole other problem...) Since other programs will rip and burn, that would mean the problem is with iTunes, not the drives, no? I've also tried to uninstall and reinstall iTunes to no avail. Quite frustrating.

  • ITunes will not authorize certain apps

    I got a new MacBook Pro and an iPod touch. I tried transferring all my apps from my old computer, but only some of them will load onto my iPod. I have authorized my new computer. It keeps telling me I'm not authorized.

    Sounds similar to this other post - I notice your screen name contains AOL.
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11552804#11552804
    There have been quite a few reports of songs purchased with old AOL itunes userIDs not getting authorized properly.
    My advice is to contact itunes store support. The link is in that other thread.

  • Itunes will not authorize apps from previous purchases onto iphone 4s ios 7

    I keep getting the same warning regardless of how many times I enter/authorize the computer. I had my apps saved to an external hard-drive and copied them over to iTunes. It's not just this app, but all of them from previous purchases, free and paid. I tried to get them from my old 3g iphone, but iTunes would not reconize the apps. It shouldn't be this hard.

    Have you restored as a NEW device (not from a backup) to test?

  • Itunes will not run, apple application support not found

    error when I install and try to run iTunes.  Apple application support not found, uninstall and download again

    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • ITunes will not authorize a particular  song - weird alert

    I have just bought legally the Beatles album Abbey Road  on iTunes and can play every song except:
    You Never Give Me Your Money
    Whenever I click on it, up comes this alert:
    But putting in my Apple ID and password doesnt do anything but tell me that the computer is already authorized
    Any suggestions appreciated
    MS

    I fixed the problem myself.  By wiping all the iPad content and doing a fresh resync, this got all my music back including the songs which were not syncing before.
    Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase all Content and Settings
    Upon reconnecting to iTunes, I was prompted with the option to restore from the last backup.  I selected my latest iPad backup, and then let the restore complete.  Resync'd apps and music as well.  Bingo!

  • ITunes will not Authorize songs

    I have tried several times to get this to work and I have already tried deauthorizing as well
    When I try to play songs that were originally purchased on my G5 in the iTunes library (I transferred everything onto my new Macbook Pro using the firewire method) I am asked to Authorize over and over again. Even though I login and get the message that 1 computer of my 5 available is Authorized.
    What is going on with this?

  • HT1420 itunes account will not authorize with only 2 devices authorized

    After having to Reset the SMC due to computer locking up, The itunes account will not authorize. In Apple ID account I show 2 active authorized devices. But my Macbook Pro that was previously authorized will not allow me to authorize it. Error message on the itunes app states that there are already 5 devices active.
    I reset the ACL user account, did a permissions repair, reset computer user password.
    I continue to have the same error message.

    iDevices are not authorized, only computers are.
    What happens when trying to download the media on the computer?  The above is confusing and difficult to read.
    Stick to the facts please.

    Bentley and Ferrari etc do not stop making parts for their cars?
    The least Apple could is.
    A. Update itunes to run on a G5
    Regarding iOS 7.0 you have totally lost the plot.
    We buy apple why?
    Quality.
    Intuitive interface.
    Stable software.
    Design.
    All that Steve Jobs consider sacrosanct.
    Quality is about ongoing support longevity of product.
    Its not about trying to sell to every person on the planet, others are way ahead of you.
    So try respective the customers you have, it wont be long before theirs a better operating system and your lead in hardware is marginal.

    My post on facebook this morning.
    If you have an iPhone or iPad do not update to ISO 7 unless you want an operating system that looks like windows 8. The graphics looks like it was designed by a artistically challenged mongoose and the operating system is not intuitive something apple users expect. Overly complicated ugly and generally change for the sake of apples paranoia since the death of Steve Jobs.

  • 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.

  • Itunes will not detect my new nano. HELP! I have a dell with vista. my old shuffles work fine with itunes, but it will no longer detect my nano. Apple says my nano is fine.

    I've worked with Apple 2 times. The first time we spent 2 hours on the phone uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, quicktime and other software and it worked for a while. Now, once again, itunes will not recognize my 6th generation nano. My old shuffle works fine. I sent the nano to apple and they shipped it back stating it was fine after upgrading firmware. However, it still will not be recognized from itunes. Please help, I'm totally lost and disappointed after spending money and so much wasted time on this thing.....
