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?

    I've accidentally deleted purchases from appearing in iCloud, and iTunes will not even let me re-purchase them, let alone make them appear in "previous purchases" to download.

    Are the items still available in the store, and if so have you hidden them (hiding and unhiding) ? Not all content types are available for re-downloading in all countries, and if the content provider has removed an item from the store then it also won't appear for re-downloading.

  • 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.

  • Itunes v12.1 itunes will not sync photos from photoshop 12

    Since I downloaded itunes v12.1, itunes will not sync photos from Photoshop 12 to my iphone 5, 6+ and older Apple TV (with hard Drive). Prior to the itunes software update, all was well.  itunes indicates "0" photos available from Photoshop when there are over 7,000 photos on my desktop. I tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling - no success. Perhaps itunes v13 may fix the problem, meanwhile , any suggestions.

    I link to it in th epost above yours.
    http://www.iphonehacks.com/2013/09/download-itunes-11-1.html
    Scroll down to;
    Then click Mac, or whatever one is applicible to you.
    Be warned though. After synced, successfully, with iTunes 11.1, i ended up with over 10GB's of 'Other' data on my iphone. I had to do a factory reset (From iTunes/iPhone/Summary). It's been a pain in the ***, but it all seems fine now. But it has taken me hours. An di now have a headache.
    Also, a factory reset will remove ALL your data, and i mean EVERYTHING! You've spend the rest of the day putting everything back the way you like it, and setting up all your setting again.
    Pain in the ***.

  • Is there any way that I can put the 600 songs that are stored on my old PC onto my new PC?  My iPod has the 600 songs on it but my iTunes will not let me add the songs onto the iTunes on the new computer.

    Yes.
    You should have copied everything from the old computer to the new one.
    Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar

  • 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 finish the restoring process for my iPhone 4s

    So I have been trying to restore my iPhone 4s but iTunes will not finish the process. I have the latest versions in both my phone, iTunes and windows updates... I have restarted the iPhone, the comoputer and iTunes... I'm at a lost on what to do. The phone screen has the plug going toward the iTunes icon but when I do connect it to iTunes it does not restore. iTunes goes through the motions until it gets to "preparing iPHone to restore" after that it just kind of stays there for about half an hour and then it shoot out an error 2003 saying the iTunes couldnt' finish the process... I have all of my firewalls off too... Any suggestions?

    I'd possibly say to check USB connections. Maybe another cable.
    All else fails, you might try to restore on another computer.

  • 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 sync app updates to phone

    Syncing phone to itunes on Win8. Set to sync music manually. After downloading all app updates to laptop, syncing does not update apps on phone. Thoughts?
    Found solution in another thread right after I posted this. Thanks anyway.

    Hi throgs!
    You may want to try to manually manage the music on your iPod touch. You can do this by following the directions in the following article, and attempting to sync your music that way:
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
    If you do not wish to manually manage your music, you can also try to sync automatically, but first you will want to sync the iPod with the "Sync Music" box checked, but no boxes checked in the fields for Genre, Album, Artist, or Playlist. Then choose the items you would like to sync from those fields and attempt to sync them again. This will wipe out the music that is on your iPod now, but may allow you to sync the music back onto the iPod after that. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
    Regards,

  • ITunes does not find apps from ipad

    Hi,
    in my itunes some of the apps are shown with a exclamation mark in a gray circle and when clicking on them I am told that itunes cant find them and asks me to locate them - but they are not in the mobileapps itunes folder.
    It seems those are all apps I downloaded with my ipad directly.
    I tried to deselect "atomatically sync apps" and reselect it again - no succsess.
    Does anyone know how I get those apps get into my itunes?
    thanks for your help!
    Sebastian

    If iTunes has an entry for them then it assumes that they are still there somewhere so won't copy them back off the iPad. Try deleting the entry for them in your iTunes library and then either do File > Transfer Purchases to copy them back from the iPad, or you should be able to re-download them for free from the store (re-downloading)
