My mac pro says "It can't be synced because this computer is no longer authorised for purchased items that are on this iPad.

But when I de-authorise and then re-authorise it says it's already authorised and then the same window pops up saying "It can't be synced because this computer is no longer authorised for purchased items that are on this iPad.
Battled all day.
Removed the SC folder,
Checked iTunes log in is correct.
Checked Itunes is the same country.
Restarted both devices.
Tried different usb ports
Any ideas?

I found the solution to this problem
the apple service helped me actually
the best and the esiest way is to solve this problem :
create a new account (as an administator recomended)
Bonjour servises must be enabled ( go to control panel > administartive tools> sevices> Bounjour services (change the category to large icons if you dont see administartive tools )
install itunes
sign in
authorize
SYNC
it must sync normally
but if the meesage pops up that points on a particular items that could not be synced ( to ur itunes because you are not authorized for this items ) REMOVE THEM
creating a new user account shows the items wich dont let you sync your iPhone
after you REMOVE those **** items that were not authorised , you can go to your old user account and SYNC it as old kind time
was having this problem 2 weeks , and nothing helped except this was. not deleting the SC Info folder, now copying apple folder to some other mobile divce folder
REMEMBER the problem is in your iPhone , it is about the items that are in your iPhone
Thanks to Apple service
for anyone who needs othe heple you r welcome to ask
will hepl you with a pleassure cause i know how I felt this days:)

HT1414 I can't sync my I phone 5s to my MacBook Pro. I receive this message: "the iphone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iphone." I have authorized and re-authorized my computer and

message: "The IPhone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this IPhone." First I have authorized the computer - several times. Second, there is nothing on my IPhone. I'm try to transfer my ITunes library from my Mac to my new IPhone. Thanks.

Well Authorize the Computer...........

I go to sync my phone and it says,"The iphone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iphone". When I go to authorize it says it's already authorized.

Getting frustarted with itunes. I had to recently do a hard reboot ny iphone and attempted to sync my phone to get m apps back. When I go to sync my phone and it says,"The iphone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iphone". When I go to authorize it says it's already authorized. Help!!!!

I first called apple and they patched me to a technician who ran a test and determined that I had a virus. He gave me some price quotes and who to call. After my conversation with him, which I knew was BS btw, I immediatley called Geek Squad with whom my computer has a warranty through after they installed virus software on my new laptop (4 months old). I had a VERY long online session where they ran several virus test and found nothing. Although I was VERY happy that my computer didn't have a virus, I still had the problem of my itunes not working. After several hours, he made sure that all of my apps were down loaded, and then restored my iphone to factory settings, and sync my device. It worked perfectly and all and I mean ALL 240 apps were downloaded back onto my iphone along with my music and all of my tones. When asked why my itunes was acting in that manner the answer that I got was,"...apparently you had a correct file some where in itunes and everything had to be reset". Regardless, everything is back to normal and I don't have to get a new phone or delete itunes from my computer. Hope this helps!

Hello, osbybass.
Thank you for the question. This alert can mean that iTunes is recognizing applications on the iPad purchased by another Apple ID. If anyone in your household has an Apple ID, try authorizing the computer with their Apple ID and attempt to sync. If you are still experiencing issues, go through the troubleshooting steps in the attached article.

Dear All.
Pls help to solve this problem for me cos i try to many time but cant done...

Thank you, KirthikaVijayakumar
I'm happy to hear that worked for you.
But I've got so many apps, and a lot of them have important data that I don't want to risk losing by deleting them all. Surely that can't be the only way to solve this problem. Help, Apple!
Both my devices - iPhone 4S with iOS5.1.1 and iPad Mini with iOS6.1.3 - have suddenly become unable to sync purchased items because "this computer is no longer authorized". But when I authorize my computer, I'm told it was already authorized.

Trying to sync a new iphone 5 to my mac to get my music over it keeps telling me that the computer is no longer authorised for purchased items but it is . I have tried de authorising and then redoing it but nothing works

Hi all I am trying to swap my music over from my mac to phone but not having any luck . Although my mac is authorised it keeps saying that its not. I have de authorised it then re done it but still the same . Not up to doing anything drastic and have heard some horror stories about loosing all contacts while messing about with back ups and cant afford to have that happen to me . Ideas anyone ??

Hi leefromwoodford,
The following article will tell you how to transfer purchased music from your iPhone to the your Mac -
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Specifically -
Transferring purchases
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod has your purchased content from the iTunes Store, you can transfer the content to a computer that is authorized for your Apple ID.
Note: This option only works for content you purchased from the iTunes Store (as opposed to content from other sources, such as CDs you may have imported). For content you did not purchase from the iTunes Store, synchronization occurs in one direction only. This means your content can be copied from a computer to your iOS device, but cannot be copied from your device to a computer.
Open iTunes.
From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.
Enter your Apple ID and password. Then, click the Authorize button.
Connect your device your computer. If it is synced with another iTunes library, you may be asked if you want to "Erase and Sync" or "Transfer Purchases."
If that alert appears, click Transfer Purchases.
Important: Clicking Erase and Sync will delete any existing content currently on your device. The content would then be replaced with the content that is on the computer.
If you were not offered the option to transfer purchases:
After connecting your device to the computer, its icon appears in iTunes. Click the icon.
From the File > Devices menu, choose "Transfer Purchases from 'Your device name.'"
Note that the computer must be authorized for the Apple ID under which the purchases were made.
You may also want to download the music directly from the iTunes store, rather than using the iPhone. See this article -
Download past purchases

I got a new PC. I was able to back up the old one and dowloaded my iTunes library. I keep getting a message that says: This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on this iPod." It asks me to authorize, which I have done 20 ti

My old PC died and I got a new one. I was able to back up the old PC and downloaded my iTunes library on the new PC. I keep getting a message saying: "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on this iPod. Would you like to authorize this computer for the items purchased from the iTunes store?" I have authorized the new PC, but it continues to ask me over and over, and if I authorize it again, it tells me I already authorized. So frustrating! I deactivated the old PC and activated the new one.
Also, I purchased a song from iTunes store and while it shows in my library on the PC, it won't download to the iPod. Why won't the new song download to the iPod?
Any ideas. suggestions?

Well Authorize the Computer...........

This iphone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorised but i try again and it says already authorised

I am trying to sync my iphone 4 to my computer ( Windows 7 64 bit ) so I can update my apps. when I connect my phone to the computer, a window pos up with the following . . . . . . . . .
this iphone 'colin's iphone' could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorised for purchased items that are on this phone
to authorise this computer for items purchased from the itunes store, choose store > authorise this computer OK.
I click on Store, authorise... type in apple id... type in password... click on authorise
It then says.... this computer is already authorised.... including this one, you have authorised one computer out of your available 5.
I unplug my phone and plug it in again and it does exactly the same again???
I'm just going around in circles???

Cant sync iPhone because itunes says this computer is no longer authorised

whenever i try to sync my iPhone 5s to my computer (iMac.. the older/thick one), it backs up and works fine until it starts to download music and apps. it says that it cant sync to my iPhone because the computer is no longer authorised for the purchases made on the phone, it gave me the option to authorise (which it already was) so i did, still didn't work, so i reauthorised and reauthorised a couple of times. i first started to notice the problem when i updates to IOS 8 (iTunes v12.0.1.26) so i don't know whats at fault. i have a 4th-gen ipod touch (6.1.2) that syncs without any problems. i dont know what to do anymore , i just want my new songs on my phone. is there any way i can fix this because having to carry my ipod and my phone everywhere is getting quite tedious.

Hi GArveladze11,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’re not able to sync your iPhone 5S with your iMac because of repeated alerts to authorize the computer. Take a look at the article linked below, it provides more information about the alert message that you’re seeing and possible resolutions.

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.

I found the solution in another post. By deleting all my apps, I was able to sync the phone. I hope I don't have to delete all my apps every time I want to sync my phone, but at least now I am able to sync my phone.
