My computer keeps saying not authorized

My computer keeps saying it is no longer authorized to play purchased items, and will not upload to my ipod. When I click to authorize, it says "this computer is already authorized.(Windows 7) What can I do to keep from losing everything?

Hello knorkin,
Let me tell you Sir, I have ways...
Use this to pur your ipod into manually manage:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Once you do that:
On the left of itunes you will see the word devices.
Under that is your ipod, to the left of it is a sideways triangle.
-Click that
You will see the Apps option under your ipod under devices.
-Click Apps
You will see your App in question, the one that needs authorizing. Do a right click on it. Left click get info.
There you will see the summary of the app and which account purchased it.
Then Authorize the account on your computer. Click store at the top then Authorize this computer.
Cordially,
~Julian

ITunes says, "not authorized on this computer" when syncing purchases

I purchased applications and an audiobook from the iTunes Store on my computer. I then tried to sync these to my iphone with iTunes on the same computer. It gave the error message that these items could not be synchronized because they were "not authorized on this computer". My iphone is the computer that is not authorized.
I had the reverse problem going from applications purchased with iTunes on my iphone to back them up on my computer. This time, my computer was the one not authorized.
Both iTunes accounts (iTunes on my iphone & iTunes on my computer) are using the same Apple ID.
How can I get iTunes to sync purchased items with my iphone?
Thanks!
Heather

Choose Authorize Computer from the Store menu in iTunes and sync the iPod again.

My iTunes is saying "not authorized"...

I just bought a new Macbook Pro and had them transfer all of my data, including my music. When I went to sync my ipod and my iphone, it popped up saying "not authorized". I then proceeded to enter my username and password, which it then said it was "authorized". However, when I went to try and sync it again, the "not authorized" box reappeared. I tried entering my info again, thinkning it may have not gone through, but it said it was already authorized. So then I tried updating the itunes, but the same problem keeps popping up. Any ideas??

Have you tried deauthorizing and then authorizing the computer?

I am trying to log onto a Mac Mini I haven't used in awhile and I forgot the password. I am trying to reset the password with my apple ID but the computer keeps saying the Apple ID and the password are incorrect whenever I know they are.

I am trying to log onto a Mac Mini I haven't used in awhile and I forgot the password. I am trying to reset the password with my apple ID but the computer keeps saying the Apple ID and the password are incorrect whenever I know they are, as I am using the exact same ID right now.
I have switched my password in the past, so my theory is my mac mini thinks that my password has not changed and it will not update because The Wi-Fi password has also changed so it cannot connect to any servers...Does that sound like I am on the right track?
Is there a way to update my Wi-Fi password (saved into the computer) without logging on?

If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.

I purchased a song says not authorized can you help

I purchased a song says not authorized on this computer but the song I purchased right before this one plays fine help

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

In a different post, you asked:

So r u telling me that I can only look at a movie from my iTunes account on the device that it was download from. This doesn't set very well me. U should b able to your purchase movies from your cloud. Is apple working on this resolution?
There is no resolution needed, as this is not a problem.
I am saying not the device, but the Apple ID is what needs to be the same, unless the movie is rented.
If the movie is rented, it can only reside on one device at a time. But from your error message above, I don't think that is your situation.
Your error message suggests a different Apple ID purchased the movie. If you want to see it, you must use your computer's iTunes, go to Store > Authorize This Account in the iTunes menu on your computer, and have that purchaser sign in with their Apple ID and password, then sync your iPad to that computer.

Ipad won't charge keep saying not charging

ipad wont charge keep saying not charging

Stefann-
What percentage charge is shown in the upper right cornert?
If it is less than 100 percent, and the iPad is connected to its wall charger, something is broken. It could be the iPad, the cable or the wall charger.
The only thing I can think of to try, is to reset the iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart in a couple minutes. Resetting will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears mysterious problems.
Charging from your computer's USB port may not be reliable, especially when the iPad is awake.
