My iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro.  it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone

my iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro.  it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone.  However, when I go to authorize my computer, it says it is already authorized.  How do I fix this?

You can't change the Apple ID that the Authorize dialog comes up with by default. It's showing you that Apple ID for a reason: it means that the items you want to play were purchased using that Apple ID and therefore you need to authorize your computer with that Apple ID. Changing the Apple ID given completely defeats the entire purpose.
If you don't know the password to the given Apple ID, then you will no longer be able to play those items.

  • When syncing iPad to MacBook Pro itunes says "this computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the ipad" .  When I enter my id and password it tells me the computer is authorized.

  • Suddenly my ipod and iphone will not sync with my macbook pro

    sync was working until about a week ago with all of my devices (Ipod/iphone)
    Sync is now greyed out, and it says the sync will resume when the macbook pro is available.
    Why isn't it available now?
    can I manually make it available?
    thanks.

    Are yo trying to sync via wifi?
    If so:

    Otherwise try restoring from backup

  • Computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items on your iPhone

    I am all of a sudden getting an alert "this computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPhone “Bob's iPhone 5”. Would you like to authorize this computer...?" 
    No changes or deauthorization were done to Mac before this alert. Worked fine this morning. 
    When I try to reauthorize it tells me I already am authorized, and then cycles back to the alert window telling me I am not authorized.  Same for my iPhone 5 and my iPad.
    Any thoughts?

    Hey there,
    You discussion came up in a search for the same error message that milepost included in the start of this thread.
    I have the same error message across multiple devices that my family uses.   It is intermittent and once I put my password in for the account it comes up with a window that says something to the effect that all 5 of 5 computers have been authorized for this account - but it seems to carry on after that.
    I just wanted to add that I am seeing a similar message and do not recall anything that has changed to cause it.  We are a multi iOS family but so I just wanted to confirm that the limit of 5 refers to computers - not to the number of iOS devices that may be managed on the computers - is that correct?

  • Iphone 4 will not charge past 5% and will not sync with my Macbook Pro

    It will also not show up in itunes..
    The liquid damage indicators are both white... when I compared the ports on my phone and my friends phone there are no differences that I can see... And I've cross tested every cable and charger with another phone and they are all good.

    Maybe if people would actually try the basic troubleshooting steps BEFORE they posted a frantic "what should I do?" here, we wouldn't have to tell them to try it so often.

  • Pictures I take on my iPhone 6 will not sync with my macbook air.

    pictures I take on my iPhone 6 will not sync with my macbook air. They do however sync to the iPad. Everything is turned on for sharing. Pictures sent to me opened in iMessage or email and then I save into the photos app on my iPad do sync with my laptop. It is just  pictures taken with the phone. They only go to iPad and do make it to the laptop. What gives

    All syncing set the same way, iCloud turned on, photo stream turned on on iPhone and iPad and laptop. Photos from phone do sync to iPad, just not the laptop. I have done this for years. Never had a problem until I got the new system update and the new iPhoto app on laptop. I even tried uploading all my photos to,iCloud. Iit was taking so long I gave up nod turned it off. After that I noticed photo stream which was not on my palmtop iPhoto app sudeenly showed up.
    i Am totally confused

  • HT1386 iphone will not sync with itunes the apple sign just keeps popping up

    iphone will not sync with itunes or ture on only with it on a charger but will only keep popping up the apple sign or on acation show iso6 on screen and say sync with conputer but as soon as i take it off yhe charger it wont do anything

    I followed the instructions in those 2 articles. Still not able to see the device in ITunes. I reinstalled the latest iTunes and all updates to my iMac (Mac OSX ver 10.6.8). I tried 3 different USB Cables in different USB ports. Rebooting both the Iphone and IMac. Still nothing seems to be working. I searched the discussion boards and I see other people with the same problem but they seem to run into the same problems finding a solution. I dont understand what happened because this was working properly up until 2 days ago. Do you have any more suggestions?

  • Replacement iPhone will not sync with existing library on external HD

    I had an iPhone, and all of my music is on an external hard drive. Everything synced and worked great, no problems. However, the Apple store just replaced my iPhone on a warranty issue, and now my iPhone will not sync with my itunes. Itunes and my external hard drive work great, but the minute i plug in my new replacement iPhone, it instantly crashes my external hard drive and will not sync any of my music. Ideas?

    Hi,
    The issue might be caused by the USB connection. Try directly connecting both devices to a high-speed USB2 port on the PC.
    This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286 provides additional USB troubleshooting tips.
    Also, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your PC.
