Itunes wont sync recently purchased content with an error message

About 10 days ago itunes stopped syncing TV episodes that were purchased recently. It comes back with an "this computer is not authorized to play ..." but in fact it is. I have also unauthorized and reauthorized this MAC but it will still not sync the recently downloaded (about 2 weeks or younger) episodes.
To clarify it will sync all content that was downloaded earlier.
Any ideas ?

Are you saying that you are running iTunes 10.7 now and it is still telling you to update iTunes?

New iphone & new iTunes wont sync, asks restore phone with no backup option

Hi all.
I have a brand new Toshiba and Windows 7, with a brand new iphone4 (first time I have had one). I downloaded the latest version of itunes this morning, and went to sync and back-up the two, but dramas started! The device is recognised with my number serial number and offers to upload videos, images wtc, but it wont let me sync or the like.
The error message I get is 'iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone 'iPhone'. Go to the summary tab in iPhone preferences and click restore to restore this iphone to its factory settings.
I dont want to restore as I will lose all data, as it wont allow me to perform a backup. I have been through all the recommendations provided on hte internet this morning, but have had no resolution (turn both devises off, restore iPhone), I just dont want to lose my contacts without being able to back up.
Does anyone have any ideas?

For managing audio and video contents of the iPod and iPhone you can find some lighter and faster alternatives to iTunes.

Itunes wont start (nothings pup op, not even error message)

Hi,
I got the problem the day i installed Win Xp instead of my Vista..
I cant turn on Itunes, it dosent come up with any message or error.
When i want to shut down, it comes up with a box says "itnues wouldnt answer"
And then its have a "bar" there goes up with blue boxes..
Then it says, "close Itunes" and then i can shut down..
(same thats happing with any other program there is a problem with)
It is the newest download 7,6 so i cant see a problem there..
Any good adwices ??
(sorry bad english i come from Denmark)

3. I opened my Task mannager and nothing happend, when i press Itnues. my computer seams to load somthnig in, its make the courser "loading" ... But after 5 sec, it just start loading and nothing happens after that..
Okay. Although I associate the following problem more with an iTunes.exe appearing and persisting in the Processes Tab in Task manager, the way you're getting that "Close program" box for iTunes when you go to shut down the PC (and the answers to my other two questions) suggest that we should follow up on the possibility.
We'd better check on an issue where if certain dlls associated with Cryptographic Services on the PC are misregistered, damaged or missing, then iTunes fails to launch (without any error messages).
With that in mind, try running through *Method 4* from the following Microsoft document:
(MS) You cannot install some updates or programs
*If any of the dlls fail to deregister or reregister,* let us know which ones they are, and what any error messages say when the deregistration or reregistration fails.
*If all the dlls deregister and reregister,* try restarting the PC and launching iTunes again. Does it launch this time?

ITunes wont sync any features/updates with iPhone

Hi - I'm sure this is more of a software or iTunes question but whenever I connect my iPhone to my computer, iTunes for some reason won't sync at all with my iPhone. I noticed this when I had the iPhone5 and recently upgraded to an iPhone6. I tried importing music and photos but it will just not work. I also tried checking sync w/ wifi and sync selected songs and photos only, but it won't even go as far as saving those settings on my iPhone. My iTunes indicates that it is syncing for about 1 second and then it'll go back to normal like nothing happened. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! By the way I am currently running mac os x version 10.6.8. My laptop is a little outdated and won't let me update iTunes or my software to a more recent version. Unless I'm being naive and missing something else here.
Thanks again,
Gerardo

I was able to fix a problem where iTunes 12.01 would not recognize my iPhone or iPad but the device WAS recognized in iPhoto.
Another website gave me the hint to download and re-install iTunes. I did this and it worked. (I also restarted both the Mac and iPhone and iPad afterward for good measure).
Here is the URL for download:

ITunes stopping sync at every song with an error..

Got my iPhone back from repairs today and updated it to 5.0.1 and iTunes to the newest version as well, tried syncing all my music back on and EVERY TIME it finds a song which isn't on my HDD anymore or has an error it stops syncing.. what iTunes used to do was just skip them, and list them at the end.
This is really inconvienent as I'm syncing over 3000 songs onto my iPhone, so having to press 'Sync' after every 100 or so songs it gets really frustrating.. I was hoping I'd be able to just leave it syncing over night but guessing I'm gonna have to stay awake till it's done now, lol.
Any help fixing this?
Cheers.

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Try rebuilding your iTunes Library:
(This will cause all devices to see your library as a "new" library)
1. Open iTunes.
2. File>LIbrary>Organize Library: Consolidate Files.
-This process may take some time.
3. Quit iTunes.
4. Browse to your iTunes Folder.
5. Drag the files to the desktop, but leave the folders in place (folders will be iTunes Media, Album Artwork, Previous iTunes Libraries)
6. Open iTunes.
7. File>Library>Import Playlist.
8. Direct iTunes to import the "iTunes Library.xml" that is sitting on your desktop.
9. Once the process is complete attempt to resync your iPod.

You buy one and only one download.
As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

Hi
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
• iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
• DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
• Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
• Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
only You can buy from Apple is
• FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
AppleMan1958
You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

I recently purchased tunes with iTunes gift card. I still have $ left on my card and now I'm asked to verify my account. Why is this necessary?

I recently purchased tunes with iTunes gift card. I still have $ left on my card and now I'm asked to verify my account. Why is this necessary?

Because iTunes simply wants you to verify your name & address is correct in your account info.

My itunes wont sync with my iphone at all, even after i did all of the steps given to me by apple. what should I do?

my itunes wont sync with my iphone at all, even after i did all of the steps given to me by apple. what should I do?

A wet phone is out of warranty. This is considered user damage. Even if you were able to get it to start now, the chances of it working for long are slim. I suggest going to Apple and see about an OOW replacement. One for the iPhone 4 is only $149USD and it would come with a short warranty. It is a refurbished device and you would not be worried about encountering additional problems.

Help! -Itunes wont sync, Set-Up Assistant pops up, Cant see iPod contents..

I have several problems happening at once - please help if you can!
When I connect to iTunes, my iPod starts to sync, but then I get an error message "Cannot synchronize ----'s iPod. Unknown Error (-48)"
It then jumps straight to the Set Up Assistant, as if its the first time I've connected my iPod! (I've had it for a year now). I'm too scared to go through that option in case it wipes the music/video off my iPod.
After all this, my iPod's name Imine) is actually visible in the left side panel of iTunes - BUT, i cant see any of the contents ie songs, video etc.
Funny thing is, I can still load songs & video onto the iPod, and it synchronizes and saves. But, I just cant see anything thats on the iPod (meaning I cant edit or delete, which is annoying), as iTunes only recognizes it as a brand new ipod.
So, what can I do?
I've tried to reset the Ipod, and reloaded iTunes. I've even used an earlier version of iTunes on a different computer and the exact same thing happens there (which leads me to believe somehting happened to the iPod).
I dont want to restore the iPod - I have nearly filled the 160GB capacity and I simply cannot back it up anywhere as no computer i have has enough memory and all my original music is overseas at home.
Why is itunes not recognising the ipod, but it still saves data on it??? How can I bypass the Set Up assistant?? (its irritating).
Please help!!

I am also having the same problem. This is my second ipod (I've added a shuffle and already had a nano). The nano works fine. When I connect the shuffle, it is grayed out in the left pane. The main view only shows two tabs, Settings and Contents. It doesn't seem to matter how I have the syncing setup.

Itunes wont sync music to iphone 5c

itunes wont sync music to iphone 5c, skips music portion of sync and gets stuck on "waiting for changes to be applied"
also wont remove cloud downloaded previously purchased songs during sync, i have restored the phone from my old one that was destroyed, but other than that sync pretty much doesnt work at all for photos or anything else.
plenty of available space on brand new phone
IOS 7.0.4
itunes 11.1.3.8

After days of getting frustrated I finally found a solution: Don't use itunes to sync music. After going through pages of possible solutions (restores, syncing albums one at a time, removing all music, deactivating accounts, making a call while syncing and various other things) as well as trying to contact apple support (Which was a joke--They wanted to charge me $19.00 to get help for a problem with their software), I change my Google search terms to "how to sync music without itunes" and I found a program called CopyTrans Manager for free. It only took me a few minutes to add the new tracks to my iphone. It automatically organizes it the same way itunes would and you have the option to make your own playlists. Best of all it synced the first try! Itunes is now dead to me. Now I just have to figure out what I'm going to do with all the free time I have since I'm not going to be spending hours banging my head at my computer ready to throw my phone out the window.

Can I get original files back? Itunes wont sync new music, Help!!

My computer had to be taken to the shop last week and the whole system had to be wiped and recovered. I forgot to tell them there was another file I wanted saved so I lost a lot of my music.
I managed to download the free version of touchcopy and get my music back on to itunes. The music that I lost comes up with a question mark and wont play on itunes but is in ipod and plays fine. Is there anyway I can get the original files of these songs on to my computer as I cant make playlists or anything with these songs?
Also in my ipod a few of the playlists have been screwed up and there are about 5-6 versions of 90s music, recently added etc that have nothing in them. Is there anyway to get rid of them?
My main problem now is that itunes wont sync the new music that Ive just added (it wasnt on the ipod before). When i plug my ipod into my computer itunes tells me "sync is complete" and it also shows up with "do not disconnect" on my computer. How do I sync this music on to my ipod??
Sorry for that incredibly long winded problem, I really hope someone can help me!!

I know that sounds so obvious, but I can't figure out how. There are six folders in the iTunes Media folder. Under advanced preferences there's a box that says iTunes Media Folder location with a "change" or "reset" option. What do I change it to? I tried the reset option, but nothing changed. I was hoping it would magically get all my stuff in order but it didn't. I was scared to try the change option. Most of my library is also in my iPhone and iPad and in the right folders/places and I'm scared to sync them with my Mac because I don't want them all screwed up. And the syncing through iDisc on my Mac isn't working because it can't find my iTunes Media folder and the six folders/documents in it.
I'd appreciate a step-by-step if possible. Literally. I've been using computers for years and my Mac for a little over a year and never had problems with it until this. I also noticed that several times in iTunes help it says " don't change the folder name or location for iTunes Media." duh. Read that too late.
Thanks
