My iPod refuses to sync some music downloaded from iTunes because my computer is "not authorized", although I have authorized it.

I have recently got a new computer, and decided to transfer my iTunes from my iPod (for I had to delete my music off my father's iTunes to conserve memory). I copied the files from my iPod onto my new iTunes account.When I synced my iPod with my iTunes, it refused to sync some songs which I had downloaded off iTunes onto my new iPod, for it says my computer is not authoraiazed, even though I have alredy authorized my computer. Wht should I do?

I HAVE MUSIC DOWNLOADED FROM ITUNES ON MY COMPUTER.HOW DO I TRANSFER TO MY IPOD

I downloaded music from ITUNES to my computer,and can't figure out how to get the music to my IPOD classic

Hello there, hwange.
The steps for getting music onto your iPod is outlined in the following Knowledge Base article:
Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
Set up syncing
Open iTunes. Make sure that you have the latest version.
Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable.
Locate your connected iOS device.
After clicking on your iOS device, tabs will appear on the left side of the iTunes window under Settings.
Summary: Features information about your device, options for backing up or updating your device, and accessibility settings.
Apps: Manage your apps and file sharing.
Music: Sync your music.
Movies: Sync your movies.
TV Shows: Sync your TV shows.
Podcasts: Sync your podcasts.
iTunes U: Sync your iTunes U courses.
Books: Sync your books and and PDF documents.
Tones: Sync your ring and other alert tones.
Photos: Sync your photos from iPhoto or a folder on your computer.
Info: Sync your contacts and calendars.
On My Device: Shows you the music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, books, tones, and voice memos that are on your device.
Some tabs might not appear if you don't have the corresponding content in your library. For example, if you don't have any podcasts in your library, the Podcast tab won't appear.
You can turn on syncing for Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Books, Tones, Photos, and Info. To turn on syncing, click the content type from the list under settings, then click the box next to Sync [content type]. If there's a check in the box already, syncing is turned on for that tab. To turn off syncing, uncheck the box.
Click the Sync button in the lower-right corner of the screen to sync your content. Only the information in the content list you've enabled syncing for will sync to your computer. If you made any changes to any of the settings, you will first need to click the Apple button.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

when i try to sync my nano, all songs will not download because they were purchased in itunes store and this computer is not authorized, but itunes store says that the computer is authorized.

Hey ronfromroanoke,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I am trying to sync my iPod, and while attempting it I am getting the error message "(whatever the song name is) cannot be downloaded because your computer is not authorized", but when I go to authorize my computer, it says it already is authorized. ???

While trying to sync my ipod, I keep getting the message "(songs) could not be downloaded because the computer is not authorized", but it is. It says there are 100 songs that will not download. What is the problem? Also, I have loaded some music from CDs onto my itunes, and some of them are not loading onto my ipod when I sync . . .

How do I sync a movie downloaded to iTunes, but I get a message that says "Cannot sync movie to iPod because this computer is not authorized"? How do I fix this?

And I assume you have already checked to see if your iTunes purchases are authorized by choosing Store -> Authorize This Computer?
Some have been able to resolve this issue by removing the downloaded purchase and redownloading it again at no cost via iCloud. See this article for more information on redownloading past purchases.

Can music downloaded from iTunes be added to a slide show in Elements 12?

Can music downloaded from iTunes be added to a slide show in Elements 12? I can't get it to load into Photoshop Elements. When I finally get to the file it kind of just disappears. Do I have to get the song from someplace else?

Barbara, I don't know how to get to the artwork to remove it. I saw a post on this forum on how to show hidden files and went to the control panel and followed the instructions. I still can't see any hidden files or artwork. Hope you can tell me where I am going wrong.

How to fix incomplete music download from itunes?

How to fix incomplete music download from itunes?

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.

HT204406 Uploaded CD last night. I see it in itunes match. However can only download some of the songs. Few have the Icon to download from Itunes Match, however it is not able to be clicked on. It's a lighter icon then other download ones.

I uploaded a CD last night. I see it in my ituned match on my work cpu. I can download 6 of the 10 songs. The other 4 have an Icon to download from Itunes Match, however it is not able to be clicked on. // See Pearl Jam Ten. I can download almost half the songs. The others remaining I cannot though they say they are available. I've reset the cache, I've closed and reopened Itunes, I have even turned MATCH off and then back on. Nothing is working. Please help. Also the song will not play. If I start the album, it skips over these songs.

The number of Songs that 'matched' is simply a function of the current iTunes Match service process. It is not unusual to have multiple Songs in an otherwise perfectly matched album be uploaded - often it is very possible to find the album in the iTunes Store.
The Artwork does tend to reappear for many over a few days / weeks - however, if your library backup has all Artwork present it would be wise to save the Album Art separately and reapply to Albums not showing art work in the library grid view.
Many of the other performance issues you mention are not typical - though during the past working week or so the Apple Infrastructure has been very heavily loaded with multiples countries having service go-live symultaneously.

When I'm trying to sync my iPad with iTunes on my MacBook Pro, i keep getting a message that certain recent purchases (TV shows) won't sync because the computer is not authorized. But, it IS authorized! What's going on here??

I've recently upgraded my iPad to OS 5 and I am running iTunes 10 on my MacBook Pro. For some unexplainable reason, I'm now getting a message that items (mainly TV shows I've purchased through iTunes) are not able to be downloaded because the computer is "not authorized." But the computer IS authorized. I follow the instructions to "authorize" it and, of course, I'm then told that the computer is already authorized! Still, the downloads won't sync.
Can anyone help me out with this?

I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.

When I try to sync my apps Itunes says my computer is not authorized. When I authorize it it then tells me my computer is already authorized. This only happens when I try to sync apps

When I try to sync my apps from my computer on to my iphone 4 Itunes says the computer is not authorized. I then authorize it and it tells me it is already authorized. I again try to sync the apps and it will once again tell me it is not authorized. I can sync music just not the apps

You are my hero thank you it worked!!!!!! I was afraid to deauthorize in case I lost everything but I figured I would follow your advice....Thank you so much
