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?

  • Replaced logic board...iTunes now says "not authorized to play music"

    I had the logic board replaced in my Mac Book Pro, restored my 4GB iPod Mini, downloaded iTunes 7.4, and now, when I try to sync with the iPod, I get a message that says that I am not authorized to play any of the music on this computer. I've authorized the computer via Store-->Authorize Computer and have only 2 of 5 computers authorized. I'm wondering if iTunes is seeing my MacBook Pro as a new copmputer because it has a new logic board. I did not lose any hard disk content, so I'm wondering what else the problem could be. Anyone have any ideas on how to approach this? Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ethan

    Almost certainly. Check out the customer service article.

    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.

  • 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.

  • I can not play a movie downloaded from itunes.  it says not authorized

    I have an iBookG4. I purchased a movie from iTunes but my computer says it is not authorized to play it.  I went under iStore an made sure authorization was on.  I still can not play the movie.   I can however play the movie on my iPad.

  • Can play music in itunes and on ipod in imovie says not authorized

    Hi I have purchased several songs in itunes and when I attempt to add them to movies in imovie it says that the computer is not authorized. I authorize the computer and itunes states it was successful return to imovie and then get the same message. I have deauthorized and reauthorized the computer and still no luck.
    Any thoughts?

    Yes, I have this problem as well. I have synced and re-synced an entire library three times now (which is not easy when you have almost 10k tracks to upload) and the same issue occurs on some tracks, but not others. I can't really see a commonality amongst the files to figure out why the ipod won't play the songs. They play fine on Itunes and when the unit itself is hooked up to my computer, but not if you are just listening to it from the Ipod. Strange...hope somebody can answer this question soon...the problem is really irritating.

  • 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.

  • Error -5000  Saying not authorized to access

    I recently moved my itunes over to a Dell running Windows Vista. I have a 30g IPOD.
    I authorized the computer. I moved my files over. Everything seems fine.
    I purchased some television episodes and I receive an error saying I am not authorized to download.
    I am the administrator and only user on this computer. I verified I was logged in as administrator. The one thing I notice is my folders seem to default to read-only. I change that and still get the error. When I check the folder again, it has reverted to read-only?

    I have changed the program file to be write accessible, but it also keep reverting back to read-only. I am new to Vista-- anyone out there that can steer me to the right place?

  • Apple TV gen 1 says Not authorized to play this content...

    My apple tv gen1 has synced all my tv shows and movies, and I am unable to view the shows as it says that it is not authorized to play this content.  I have tried:
    reset my router
    de authorized and re- authorized my computer
    signed in again (although half the time it continually says that my username or password is incorrect)
    I have reset my apple tv both soft and back to factory settings
    I have installed version 10.4.1 of itunes on my computer
    I can play all the content on my ipad, iphone and computer just not on the apple tv! 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.

  • Purchased Music won't go to my nano- says not authorized to play

    For the last 3 months - with different versions of itunes - this same error msg, "Some of the items in the itunes Library including "Song X", were not copied to the ipod "my unit name" because you are not authorized to play them on this computer. The real zinger here is that music I purchased prior to the error that used to download to the same nano and worked, is now wiped off my nano. I see the songs, but the only ones that will sync are the ones I did not purchase from itunes. Any one else with same issue or know how to fix? Thanks.

    Choose Authorize Computer from the Store menu in iTunes or play one of those songs; whem prompted, provide your iTunes Store account details.
