ITunes won't sync some of my movies to my iPod

So it gives me this error "some of the items in the itunes library including "Tresspass", were not copied to the ipod "iPod" because you are not authorized for them on this computer." I've authorized the computer, and it plays in itunes, it just won't sync, does anyone have any clue what's happening.

I have the same problem too... also with the movie Cars 2. Though my purchase was straight from iTunes and not a Digital Copy code. So frustrating! I clicked on the "Report A Problem" link on my purchase history page in iTunes and the response I got back was less than helpful. They basically told me that as "iTunes Store Customer Support", they are non-technical and can't help me. They gave me a number for Apple Tech Support 800-275-2273, but I haven't had a chance to call yet while they are open.

  • ITunes won't sync some music videos to iPhone?

    Hey gang-
    I have lots of iTunes purchased music videos in iTunes that I also sync and enjoy on my iPhone 3gs. But I also have some music videos that I made myself from video I shot. They display and play fine in iTunes on my Mac.
    But the weird thing is the ones I made will NOT sync to my iPhone. Now- I recall learning something about this a few years ago. I seem to recall iPod and iPhone are much more "fussy" than Desktop iTunes about what they consider to be a Music Video. Something to do with Metatags, but it was very specific about which ones?
    Here's what I do know:
    1) Both my types of music videos appear in the Music Videos Smart playlist in iTunes on my Mac.
    2) When I Get Info, both types of Music Videos show Media Kind of "Music Video" on the Options tab.
    3) Both play Audio and Video perfectly in iTunes on my Desktop Mac
    4) But the ones I made will NOT sync to my iPhone, even though the playlist they are in is selected and "Include Music Videos" is selected in the iTunes Sync Music tab.
    Can anyone remember what the "magic" is to getting iPhone to get on the same page with iTunes on Music Videos? Running iTunes 10.2.1 and Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and iOS 4.2.1 on iPhone 3gs
    Thanks gang!

  • ITunes won't sync some songs?

    I got them from a youtube-mp3 site, (only because they're songs that never got popular enough to be on iTunes and stuff, so youtube-mp3 sites are the only way) but usually it works. I have youtube songs on my iPod and they work fine. The thing is, the last three songs I put in my iTunes library refuse to sync to my iPod. I have tried everything I could think of. I am not out of space, and my laptop is authorized. I have tried it multiple times and made sure all my software is updated. I only have two computers authorized including the one I'm using. I sync my iPod, and it says 'Syncing'. After that, it puts songs that I bought on my iPod onto my iTunes, but not those specific three songs to my iPod. It was two songs, but I added another one and it won't sync. Yes, all of them are checked, and I don't even have the option where it only copies checked songs and movies to my iPod anyways. I honestly have no idea what to do and I am starting to get very frustrated. If anyone knows how to fix this, please.

    +It will try for about 3-5 minutes, then it give me a message about it not being able to read the disk or something to that nature. I even tried this for my iPod Shuffle and the samething occurred.+
    In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you checked through the following document?

  • My ipod won't sync some videos and songs to my ipod

  • Itunes won't sync any of my music to my Ipod Nano (4th gen)

    I tried to add more music onto my ipod and itunes froze and it didn't work.  After it unfroze I tried to sync it again, nothing happened. I thought maybe if I reset my ipod it would help. NOPE! Now I have no music on my ipod and even if I click on the sync button nothing happens. Itunes recognizes that I have my ipod plugged in but it won't do anything else.  I even tried uninstalling itunes and then re-installing it but nothing happened after that.

    Hey Tipa1,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having an issue with iTunes due to permissions. The following article is related to the symptoms you described:

  • My iTunes won't sync all of my music to my iPod touch

    I know all of the music is on my iTunes, as I am able to play the items on my laptop via iTunes. Yet my iPod refuses to sync the content. I have reset my iPod, checked the sync settings to sync all music, made sure I have the latest version of iTunes. I don't know wether to assume that there is a problem with my laptop or my iPod touch. Please help! My musical life is at stake

    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Try deleting the the iTunes purchased ones and redownloading them.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Need some help: my itunes won't sync with my iphone anymore. Both softwares are up to date and I've reinstalled itunes. After I reinstall, it syncs. But then when I reboot my computer, it no longer syncs anymore and I have to keep reinstalling itunes. Tho

    Need some help: my itunes won't sync with my iphone anymore. Both softwares are up to date and I've reinstalled itunes. After I reinstall, it syncs. But then when I reboot my computer, it no longer syncs anymore and I have to keep reinstalling itunes. Thoughts???

    thought that it was possible to have the same iTunes library on any machine that was authorised, a kind of cloud-iTunes I guess. 
    That would convenient, but sadly it is not the case. Sorry!
    Either way your welcome and best of luck!

  • ITunes 8 won't sync some video files to iPhone 3G (2.1)

    Hello,
    Upgraded to iTunes 8 and iPhone 2.1 the other day. Now I'm having trouble syncing the iPhone... The problem is that iTunes won't sync all my purchased TV-eps. It WILL sync my "The Office" ep, but NOT my "Two and a half men" ep or my "Entourage" ep. What is going on?! Anyone know a solution to this?
    Thanx

  • Itunes won't sync music to my iPhone5!!

    I just updated to OSX Mavericks and I have the latest update for iTunes, but when i sync my phone to my macbook pro and try to put my music on it, nothing happens. When it gets to part 4 or 5 (whichever one is the part where the music get's sync'd) it just skips over it and finishes. I have been stuck for so long, I have tried looking at support sites etc... but nothing is working. I tried downloading songs from itunes, and from the internet and nothing will sync. Advice would be greatly appreciated!! i am so frustrated, i have tried syncing over wifi and thru the cord but it doesn't make a difference. it's like this happened out of nowhere. thanks in advance!

    ''I was experiencing the same problem and tried all sorts of stuff, including items in this thread with no luck, this is what ultimately worked for me.
    1.  Download iFunBox (or other utility that gives you access to the filesystem)
    2.  Delete the _iTunes_Control folder
    3.  Delete everything in the Purchases folder
    4.  Force a sync in itunes
    5.  Profit.
    So far I haven't seen any weird problems, other than my songs now sync.''

  • The ipad won't sync some photos, saying the file can't be read by the ipad, however it will sync some photos taken at the same time which are the same size and file type.  Why does it reject some and accept others?

    The ipad won't sync some photos, saying the file can't be read by the ipad, however it will sync some photos taken at the same time which are the same size and file type.  Why does it reject some and accept others?

    Hi there. I'm having the same problem: my iPad won't import some photos from a folder, saying that they can't be read. They are all JPEGS and some photos taken at the same time have synched fine, but out of a folder with 200 photos, it only lets me synch 37. I'm synching albums created via Photoshop Elements 6, which has worked fine until now.
    I've tried deleting all photos and re-synching, and have also deleted the iPod Photo Cache, but it hasn't made a difference.
    The iPad auto-updated to the latest version of iTunes, so maybe that's what's causing it?
    Any advice gratefully received!

  • ITunes won't sync 3GS AT-ALL

    hi there, I'm having some problems with iTunes, that being iTunes won't sync with my 3GS at all, when it gets to the "backing up iPhone" bit at the start theprogress bar won't even start, the diagonal lines that appear in the progress bar remain there for just over 2 hours (at which point I gave up) and the backing up and syncing never actualy happen.
    I am using an iPhone 3GS 16gb iOS 4.0 and iTunes 9.2 for windows.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve my problem? Thanks in advance!

    delete itunes from your pc and then reinstall it. also if you have a recent backup or dont mind losing the info on your iphone reinstall iOS4 on your iphone. but only if you have a recent backup or dont mind losing your data.

  • ITunes won't sync but iPod working...?

    I downloaded the most recent iTunes and tried to sync my iPod (an 80 gig with video, fyi). iTunes said it needed to restore, that the iPod was corrupt, etc.; I did as it said and waited for the iPod to restart... just to have iTunes say it needed to restore again. After repeating the process a few times I unplugged the iPod and found that it was asking for a language and that it showed the menu options and the games worked, but because it had been restored there was no music on it. Now iTunes won't sync it but the iPod itself is turning on and doesn't show any music (except for, you know, the lack of music.)
    It is important to know, I guess, that my iPod hasn't been working perfectly lately; she's been freezing up, won't play some songs, working sluggishly... Last night she was particularly diifficult and after restarting a few times refused to play more than one or two songs (before freezing.)
    I can't think of any time I've dropped her from anymore than a few inches off whatever surface, and every time she was in her case so I doubt that had anything to do with it...
    Can anyone help? I thought it might just be a problem with the new iTunes so I don't want to send her in for service just yet, but the sooner she's fixed, the better.
    Thank you ver much in advance!

    Hi there,
    Have you tried the 5 R's that Apple recommend trying?
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303940
    It sounds like you could do with going through them - make sure that you have the very latest iTunes software before starting.
    I hope this helps.

  • I switched from iphone 3GS to an iphone 4. Now itunes won't sync my apps, music,  etc

    I believe you have to authorize the iPhone 4 in iTunes

  • My iTunes won't sync and I can't download an app onto my iPhone 4S. It's been really bad since the update!

    Hi,
    Two problems here guys
    1. My iTunes won't sync. Since the update to iTunes 11 it refuses to transfer purchaces from my iPhone 4S and won't put stuff from my phone into my iTunes library and I can't put anything on my phone through my laptop. Both the laptop and the phone say that they are syncing but nothing actually happens
    2. As the Avengers Initiative app is currently free I decided to try and download it straight on to my phone, but every time I try it says I don't have enough memory, even though I deleted stuff especially so I could download this and I now have 3.6 GB free, so I downloaded it on to my iTunes on my computer, but of course my iTunes won't sync
    I've reinstalled iTunes twice and it hasn't worked!
    Somebody help please

    Same problem, any assistance would be appreciated.
    thanks
