Couple of questions
Have you backed up to this computer before?
Are those apps part of family sharing?

I purchased a song from iTunes however it will not play. I get a message telling me I need to authorize my PC, when I go through the steps as directed I get a message saying this PC is already authorized however the song still will not play. Any help?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

How do I fix the compatibility issue between my iPhone 4S with iOS 7 and my Pioneer car stereo? There was no problem with iOS 6, but now I get a message saying "this device is not compatible" and so I can't use Netflix for example. How do I fix it?

This is a typical response from the manufacturer. Did you try the fix that Lawrence mentioned. When Apple or any other phone manufacturer update phone software, they have the latest Bluetooth installed. It is usually the problem with the radio manufacturer that they devices are using the older Bluetooth protocols. You can try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581 and see if anything there helps, but generally it requires the radio manufacturer to update their firmware.

This content is not authorized, message in my rentals,and purchased Series and Movies

I keep geting this message, This content is not authorized, on my series and movies

I have this exact issue. I am running 7.1.1 and it all worked perfectly when just running 7.0 back in February. I have the problem on both my iPhone 4 and my iPad mini (1G). The content I have imported myself from DVD's works fine. The only content that doesn't work is what I purchased on iTunes. Movies, and TV shows, SD and HD. Nothing purchased works. It comes up as "Cannot Open: This content is not authorised." I've checked. I am logged in with the correct iTunes account for home sharing on both the iDevices and the Macbook. I am running the latest iTunes and iOS versions... w. t. f.
I have airvideo and have used it. I would prefer if this worked as advertised as it did mere months ago.
Things haven't changed on my tablets except for the upgrades...

I purchased a song on this Mac, an authorized computer. I am now getting a message that this computer is not authorized to play the song. When I provide my username and password to authorize my computer, the song is still not authorized. Why?

I keep getting a message saying this accessory is not optimised for this iPhone, what does this mean? I haven't downloaded anything

If you are getting it when your iPhone is not connected to anything it probably means there is line/debris that is causing a short between the pins on your dock connector. Get a soft brush and clean it.

After getting a new desktop I downloaded iTunes and authorized my new computer and then de-authorized my old one, When I try to update my 5S it says my phone is not authorized and list my wifes email address as the account holder and not mine. How do I correct this. I am using Windows 8.1 . My wife has never had an iTuunes account

Hello Lakesidetom,
It sounds as though you are experiencing an issue with an Apple ID and authorizations. Based on your post, it sounds like you are familiar with the authorizing and deauthorizing process. The Apple ID in question (your wife's email) may be originating from the iPhone you are attempting to update. Is it possible that your wife created an Apple ID or iCloud account which is signed in on that iPhone? Below, I have included links to some resources that may help you determine if your wife has created an Apple ID:

Use these steps if you forgot your Apple ID or aren't sure that you have one.

TS1389 when i changed my browser to IE 8, I am no longer able to play the songs I purchased. I keep getting a dialog box saying "this computer is not authorized to play this song. Would you like to authorize it? The box has an old apple ID . How do I get

I try to play the Itunes song I purchased. I have a new computer, another internet provider since I purchased the songs, and have switched to a new internet browser Internet Explorer 8. I keep getting a dialog box saying "this computer is not authorized to play the song. would you like to authorize it?
An old Apple ID popps up and I am asked for the old passwork which I no longer remember. I successfully changed to a new Apple ID and password.
when I enter that, a new dialog box appears, saying "this computer is already authorized." When I try to play the song the first box appears again,
I I go round over and over, with no success playing my songs. Can anybody out their resolve this? Thanks for any help

Were these songs purchased using another account?
" I opened a new iTunes account and copied the files to the new account. "
Do you mean to a new library?
Account is a user neame and password with which you purchase content.
A library is your collection of media.

Hi all. I am new to iPad and am trying to buy certain apps thru iTunes. I keep getting messages saying "this app is not yet available in the South African store"! which means i am unable to buy it. Why not and how can i get around this. Thanks

Hi all. I am new to iPad and am trying to buy / download certain apps thru iTunes and or App Store. I have found the apps i want yet I keep getting messages saying "this app is not yet available in the South African store"! which means i am unable to buy it. Why not and how can i get around this? Thanks

If you see a dialog telling you the app is not avaiable, then it's not available.
And keep in mind, your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

How do I find installer? When I try to install downloads, the box says that I do not have the Installer I need.

How do I find installer? When I try to install downloads, the box says that I do not have the Installer I need.

If it's updates through the Office auto-updater that are having problems, that's probably an issue you'll need to take up on Microsoft's support site. If you're having problems installing Office from scratch and it's saying it can't find Installer, you may need to repair your hard drive. More help will probably be obtained if you post in the Mac OS X 10.6 forum; this forum, where you originally posted, is for help with the Communities themselves.

Outlook 2013 Rules issue when more than 50 rules exist ("The rules on this computer do not match the rules on Microsoft Exchange").

I think I may have found a bug.
My Outlook 2013 profile has more than 75 rules. When I started testing Outlook 2013, I got the message "The rules on this computer do not match the rules on Microsoft Exchange. Only one set of rules can be kept. You will usually want to keep the rules
on the server. Which rules do you want to keep?"
I did the following troubleshooting:
1. I created a new Outlook profile. This didn't fix the issue.
2. I exported my rules, cleared them using "outlook /cleanrules", then reimported the rules. This didn't fix the issue.
3. I cleared the rules again (outlook /cleanrules), then hand-entered the rules. This also didn't fix the issue.
4. I reduced the number of rules to less than 50. This FIXED the problem.
5. When I entered rule #51, the problem came back. When I removed ruled #51, the problem was again fixed.
Does anyone know of a fix or workaround to this issue?
Thanks.

Sounds like you went over your "rule quota limit" as you do have a great number of rules. Please see the link below for cause and possible resolution.
