My macbook pro is already authorized, but a purchased song from iTunes keeps stating that my computer is not authorized to play it. I enter my apple ID and password, upon which a window confirms that my computer is already authorized. Yet the song still won't play and continues to state that my computer is not authorized.

If you live in a country in which you are allowed to re-download purchased music delete the track from the library and the HDD and re-download it.

  • Why wont my entire music library sync onto iTunes on my MacBook Pro? Why will only my purchased music from iTunes sync?

    Background Info
    I recently took my MacBook Pro 2011 to the Genius Bar because I was having issues with the logic board. Unfortunately the computer would freeze, emit three continuous beeps and basically render it useless every time I turned it on. Thus I was unable to do a more recent back up before taking it into the store.  The first time I took it in, they said that the RAM and the logic board looked fine after running system diagnostics. They held onto it for about a week and when I got it back they had said that it was simply an operating system issue and that they had wiped it and reinstalled Mavericks instead of Yosemite which I had been running previous to my issues. However as soon as I took it home, the issues persisted and so I returned to the Genius Bar in hopes that they would see that the logic board was having issues. This time they sent it off to Texas to have all of the faulty parts replaced for a flat rate which included my logic board and optical drive. When I picked it up the lady at the Genius Bar said, "Good news, we didn't have to touch any of your files so they should all be on the MacBook."  Alas they had already been wiped in an attempt to fix my laptop that failed. So all of my music from CD's as well as mp3 downloads of recordings done by boyfriend and other small artists not purchased from iTunes are gone.
    Issue at Hand
    I just got my MacBook Pro 2011 back after having it wiped by the folks at the Genius Bar. With only an old back up from 2 or 3 months ago on my external hard drive, I don't have a lot of my more recently downloaded music saved anywhere. All of my iTunes purchased are easily retrievable from iCloud and what not but mp3 downloads of personal recordings done by boyfriend and other small local bands, mp3's purchased on Amazon, mp3's purchased from Bandcamp, free mp3's from Soundcloud artists, etc. will not sync over to my MacBook. All of these songs are still on my iPhone 6 thank goodness but I would very much like to sync them over to my MacBook. If anyone knows how I can overcome this, please let me know. Thank you very much.

    Basically anything not purchased from iTunes that is on my iPhone 6 will not sync over to my MacBook. I have tried to just manually back it up but only the purchased music will sync over to iTunes.

  • TS3988 I am using mountain lion.  iCloud works fine with my iMac iPads and iPhone with one annoying exception.  I cannot use the systems preferences on my iMac because I cannot log in.  When entering my apple id and password I get a window saying "You can

    I cannot log into systems preferences for icloud on my imac.  icloud works on all devices including the imac, but I get the window "You can't sign in at this time" when using system preferences on the imac.  I am using mountain lion, but it didn't work on lion either.  Help

    You may wish to try the following:
    1. Sign out of your account
    (If you are unable to do this because System Preferences has frozen, Force Quit System Preferences and try again)
    2. When prompted, opt to delete, contacts, calendars etc from your Mac.
    (You are only deleting this data from your Mac, not from iCloud, the data will be reinstated when you log back in. If you need to check that the data is in iCloud before deleting it go to iCloud.com and check each section for data)
    3. Having logged out, check that the iCloud accounts along with their data have disappeared from the Mail, Address Book and iCal Applications.
    (If necessary, delete the iCloud accounts from each of these application separately from each Applications Preferences)
    4. At this point it may be worth trying to log into iCloud from the System Preferences iCloud settings again, if this works, all well and good, if it doesn't continue to step 5.
    5. Open your User Library folder in the Finder. (When in the Finder, go to the Go menu, hold down the option key (alt) and choose Library when it appears in the Go menu)
    6. Navigate to Library > Application Support > iCloud and drag the iCloud folder to your desktop. (This action only copies the folder and will provide you with a back up)
    7. Select the iCloud folder again in Library > Application Support and drag it to the trash, enter your administrators password when prompted.
    8. Restart your computer.
    9. You should now be able to enter your ID and Password in system Preferences > iCloud and log into your account. Check the services you wish to use and once you are satisfied it's working as it should, trashh the iCloud folder you copied to your desktop earlier.

  • TS1424 I downloaded a song and it says my computer is not authorized to play it, but when I put in my apple id and password to authorize it it tells me this computer is already authorized! What do I do?

    I downloaded a song from itunes and it says my computer is not authorized to play it, to authorized enter your apple id and password so I did, then it said that this computer was already authorized, but it still won"t let me play the song! What do I do?

    Apparently not!! I am NOT happy about it either! I had always bought my mp3's from walmart.com (until they quit doing it) & ANY time I had a problem, they had it corrected in less than 5 minutes! Apple is a large enough company, that they should have an EASY to find support system. Having to post on here, WAITING for someone who MIGHT know how to fix it, is aggrevating!! I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANY MORE MUSIC FROM ITUNES & WILL BE GOING TO ANYTHING OTHER THAN AN APPLE PRODUCT!

  • HT4436 I have a windows PC. When I enter my apple id and password to the icloud, it shows "Apple id is correct but it's not an iCloud account" So how I create iCloud account or how can I fix it?

    I have a windows PC. When I enter my apple id and password to the icloud, it shows "Apple id is correct but it's not an iCloud account" So how I create iCloud account or how can I fix it?

    To enable iCloud on your Windows PC,
    first set up iCloud on your other (Apple) devices,
    then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows...

    I restored my ipad but i was unable to activate it because it is askimg me for the apple id and password eith which i originally set it up. I know the apple id although i do not remember ever using it but i cannot remember the password. I have tried everything from reserting my password to trying different passwords but it asks me for a custom question that i dont remember creating.

    You need to use Apple's iForgot service or contact their Account Security team.

  • HT201269 I'm trying to set up my new iPhone using iCloud - I entered my apple ID and password and selected the backup to restore from but the next page asks me to enter a password for a DIFFERENT apple ID

    I'm trying to set up my new iPhone using iCloud - I entered my apple ID and password and selected the backup to restore from but the next page asks me to enter a password for a DIFFERENT apple ID

    What different Apple ID? Yours? Your friends? Your dogs... ? I think we are going to need more information. You're probably best setting up the phone as a new phone and restoring from iCloud later on.

  • I changed my apple id and password online, next time i turned on my computer icloud pops up asking for a password with my old apple id.  i enter my password and it doesnt work, how do i change my iCloud id to my updated apple id?

    I changed my apple id and password online.  The next time I turned on my computer, iCloud popped up asking for a password, but displaying my old apple id.  I tried signing in, but I think because it is my old apple id listed it doesnt let me.  Anyone have any idea how I can update the iCloud apple id and password to reflect that of my apple id?

    If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • HT201365 I removed/erased my phone from icloud - but I am still required to enter my apple id and password

    I restored my iphone 4 and as I was about to activate it - it required my apple id and password. I can see that it is my apple id - so i entered the data. However I keep on receiving a message saying [ "my e-mail" cannot be used to unlock this iPhone.]
    I then checked if the phone is still on the list of my devices in "Find My Phone" - via icloud.com website. The phone that I was trying to activate was not there.
    I cannot seem to get this right - please let me know - if you know the solution.

    I guess that the only problem is, that the iphone is already connected / related (or whatever... I´m german) to an apple ID. and if he could go in the ITUNES account, he/they could get rid of that by DISCONNECTING
    please try
    okay... its in itunes to com to the point to disconnect the device from the cloud.
    I thought they still could hat any auto login on the mac ?!
    sorry if I was wrong

  • I just purchased a second iPad.  I set it up with my same apple id and password.  How do I change that info.  I want to FaceTime between the two and can't do it with same info.

    Just set up my ipad3 using my same apple id and password that I used for my iPad 2.  I want to FaceTime between the two.  Do I need to change one of the iPad settings to do so???

    Settings > Facetime > Apple ID > tap it and log out, log in with other Apple ID

  • Why have I been sent an email asking me for my Apple ID and Password. How can I check that this is not a scam.

    I want to know why I have been sent an email from Apple to verify my account by asking for my Apple ID and password.
    how do I know this is genuine and is there a way to check that this is not a scam

    I would be very careful about email asking for your Apple ID and password. These are some of the Official Apple email addresses that would contact you:
    [email protected]
    [email protected]
    [email protected]
    [email protected]
    [email protected]
    These email are not to be replied to at all and if the email you receive asks you to reply or has a link that doesn't go the Apple.com or iCloud.com domains, then they are definitely fake.

  • I am entering my apple username and password but it is not being recognised. I have entered my correct date of birth but it is  not recognising that either.

    I am having trouble updating the apps on my I=-phone because nothing I enter is recognised. I enter the e-mail address originally used and the correct password but it says it doesn't recognise this. I have also tried to re-set the password but it says it is sending me an e-mail to do this but it never comes. I have set up a new user ID and password but don't know how to transfer that so it updates my I-phone. Any ideas?

    You're going to have to call Apple and ask for Account Security in order to get this straightened out.

  • HELP! I switched out my iPad mini today. Was able to log into my 2 magazine subscriptions, but the problem is when I click on 'restore past issues'. When I do, I'm then prompted to enter my Apple ID and password. Saying pw is wrong, but it's not. Why?
