No longer Authorized my iPod on this computer.

Hello,
I am unable to authorize to use my iPod (see below for my info). Every time I go to put in my user ID, and password, iTunes will not allow me to log in? Then I go to my iCloud account and use the same user ID and password, and I have no problem. Can anyone assist me with this problem?
Thank you.

Ow 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". What do I do to fix this?

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.

ITunes will not copy certain songs to my iPhone - I'm "not authorized for it on this computer"

Hi. I get an error when I try to transfer certain songs from my computer to my iPhone. I get the following error, "(song name) was not copied to iPhone "____" because you are not authorized for it on this computer." For the particular songs for which this error comes up, I purchased them many years ago. I had them on my PC and transferred them to my iPhone just fine. I recently got rid of the PC and bought a Mac Mini (yay!) and copied my files over to the new computer. Then, I connected my iPhone to the Mini and synced it. Then, I noticed that there were some songs on my phone that I didn't want on it so I unchecked them in the Library on the Mini and chose the "sync only checked songs" option and synced again. Nothing changed. So, then I did an Autofill thinking that would make the selected songs on my Mini and matched the songs I wanted on my iPhone. That's when I noticed the songs missing on my iPhone (songs that I had selected on my Mini and wanted on the iPhone). I've never really been able to figure out how to work iTunes so I'm sure I've done something wrong. I can't decifer the error message so your help would be greatly appreciated. (I've authorized the Mini.)
Any ideas what the problem might be? Thanks in advance.

Hi there!
I've a very similar & the same problem but for me this has been happening ever since iTunes 7.1.5, so not exclusively since 7.2 was launched
In addition to the same problem you're having, iTunes will not sync any of my converted DVD movies and several video podcasts giving me the same error message you mentioned. If it try to play these video's out side of iTunes with QuickTime, I get 'Error -36: An I/O Error' warning and thats it, but I can play with any other media player including the dreaded Windows Media Player! If I copy these files on to a separate HHD, Flash Stick or on to another PC (i.e. so they’re played from not in the iTunes folder in my documents) they all work fine and oddly also with QuickTime, so I'm happy the files are not corrupt. I'm afraid to attempt to play any remaining video's that I managed to sync sometime before this problem in iTunes because when I do, its then that I can never use it again and it gets removed from my iPod!
I can't find anything on this problem anywhere, and I don't know where to go to get help from Apple not that I’m sure they’d be too helpful?
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Regards
Jaime

Every movie purchase through iTunes fails to transfer to my iPhone or iPad and the message I get is this: some of the items in the itunes library, including were not copied to the ipad because you are not authorized for them on this computer... help?

For a couple months now, every movie purchase through iTunes fails to transfer to my iPhone or iPad giving me the error: "some of the items in the iTunes library, including were not copied to the iPad because you are not authorized for them on this computer". I have read many forums about deleting, reinstalling, de-authorizing and authorizing my iMac through the iTunes store. Many suggestions don't work except to rename the movie to *.MP4 in Finder under the iTunes movie directory. I imagine this is a setting or a bug somewhere... any suggestions on how to bypass having to rename the files in Finder? My research into Google suggests this problem dates back to 2007 or so but it is now more prevalent than ever.
Thanks.

One workarwound is to do the following:
1. Remove the digital content from iTunes (but keep the files)
2. Rename all .m4v files to .mp4 files
3. Add the files back to iTunes
This seems to fix the problem for me
Hope this helps

I'm getting an error message: The app "Pages" was not installed on the iPhone "Mom's iPhone" because you are not authorized for it on this computer

Everytime I sync my iPhone it gives me the warning: The app "Pages" was not installed on the iPhone "Mom's iPhone" because you are not authorized for it on this computer.
Pages was installed when I initially purchased it for my iPhone, but when I got the 4S recently I got the above message. I tried deauthorizing and then reauthorizing, but it didn't help. The Install/Will Install option is there, but gets me the same message. (And I did hit the Apply button)

Agh! I figured out I had two apple id's and was able to install Pages from that account. Dumb! :/

ITunes won't sync new apps, I'm not authorized for them on this computer??

Hello,
Everything with the update went well, bought/downloaded applications from iTunes, hit sync & got the message that I'm not authorized for them on this computer. I have to be, don't I? I remember when activating the phone that it did that... I think. Please help, I want to use my new apps.
BTW, I've tried resetting the iPhone by holding down the power & home buttons for 6 seconds & I've restarted my G5.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Just solved it. Double clicked on one of the new applications from within iTunes, it asked for my password to authorize this computer, clicked sync & it's syncing now.
Hope this helps others that might have had the same problem.

HT1386 I repeatedly receive an error mesage when trying to sync my ipod touch with my new computer, "some of the items in the itunes library, were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized for them on this computer." My computer is authorized

I repeatedly receive an error message when trying to sync my ipod touch with my itunes library with my new computer which reads, "Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized on this computer." However when I try and authorize my computer I always receive the message that this computer is authorized. What am I doing wrong? I'm missing about 100 songs as a result of this error!!

See:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
Could the items be purchased by another account?

HT1351 Itunes says that 96 of my songs cannot be synced on my ipod since this computer is not authorized. When I authorize it I am told that I have 5 computers. I only have one. please help

When I sync my ipod with itunes i am told that 96 of my songs are not authorized on this computer. I follow the directions to authorize and the message answers that I have 5 computers and this is the only one authorized. I only have one computer. How do I get itunes to sync those 96 songs???

Hi eversonjm,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If you are out of authorizations but only have 1 computer, deauthorizing all computers and reauthorizing your correct computer might be a good idea. See this article for instructions:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
If after deauthorizing and reauthorizing your computer, you are still not authorized for the 96 songs, this article has some steps for seeing the account name that was used to purchase a song, in the event that a different account may have been used:

Since Installing 7.0 Message that "Not authorized to play on this computer"

Since installing ITUNES 7.0 earlier this week I just tried to sync to my IPOD. I now get a message that a host of songs (and albums) weren't synced to my IPOD because "You are not authorized to play them on this computer". That's funny; they all show up in my purchased folder in ITUNES.
What's up with this and is ITUNES working on a fix. I would say beware of updating as I think their security for purchased music protection is playing games with our libraries.
I this point I want 6.0 back but of course when you update you lose the older version out of your add/remove in the control panel.
I'm contacting support too as I have over 1600 songs purchased so you think they may want to figure it out. I won't purchase another song until this is fixed. I suggest anyone else with the same problem do the same.

Called tech this morning and that's exactly what they said. I had to authorize one song and then all the songs/albums synced succesfully.
Thanks.

Why do i have to keep authorizing my ipod on my computer?

So everytime that I plug in my ipod touch into the computer it is a third generation 8 gb and it always says that it is not authorized but when I authorize it the pop up says that it is not authorized. Another problem that I amhaving is when I had to restore my ipod it erases all the songs that I had purchased recently on my ipod and my photos and videos and all of my apps are deleted as well. I would hate to rebuy my songs becasue when I search my songs on itunes it can not find it also when I hit sync my apps do not get redownloaded and my songs dont either. The reason why I pluged my ipod into my computer so my brothers can download it becuase I bought it on my ipod. Thats when the pop up came and it said to authorize it so i do so and then another pop up appears and it says to authorize. its the same cylce over and over. I called apple to ask this question and they told my to come here and ask this so if someone can help thast would be great.

Hi Patrick,
I tried that last night, and unfortunately still had the same problem. I have now arranged to return the iPod in exchange for a replacement. Hopefully this was a one off! Thanks anyway.
I'd be interested to hear of any other advice in case it happens again when I receive my replacement!

Songs "Not Authorized to play on this computer"

I hooked my iPod up to charge, after it went through automatic syncing I saw that only a handful of my songs were listed on the playlists on the iPod.
When I tried to re-sync my playlists in I got a pop-up that said over 100 of my songs "were not copied to the iPod because you are not authorized to play them on this computer".
This is the only computer I have ever used, I've had my iPod for a couple of months and never had any problems...I did upgrade to the new version of iTunes several days ago, after doing a system restore on my computer. How do I authorize my computer for this? Thanks for any advice!

Yes thanks
I just bought a new IMAC. When i went to sync my iphone for the first time it gave me that message. So I found an Arcade Fire song that was one of the 100 songs that wouldn't sync, tried to play it, then got the opportunity to enter my password and was back up and running that fast. It authorized this new computer.
thanks

"not authorized for them on this computer" - ipad TV show syncing issue

I am unable to sync a number of recently purchased TV shows to my iPad (Original iPad, running 5.0.1). I've deauthorized all my computers, and authorized only my iMac and this iPad - still nothing. I restored my iPad, deauthorized and authorized again, ... still nothing.
Last stop before I walk down to the Genius Bar ...

You can authorise your mac to user your mothers iPad in iTunes. Your Mac can be authorised for apps from more than one iTunes account:
iTunes > Store > Authorise this computer. Enter your mom's credentials.
Alternatively, you can backup her iPad to iCloud. This will store all details from the apps as well as their location on the home screen. After restore, it will simply re-download them ti the right place from AppStore. iCloud will also periodicaly autmaticaly backup your mom's iPad, without you needing to worry about it .
You can setup backup on iPad: Settings > iCloud > Backup.
