Not Authorized Message - Over and Over

Everything was working just fine until about 2 weeks ago, and now, whenever I connect one of the two iPhone’s I sync with this computer (single iTunes account), I get a message that this computer is not authorized. When I click Authorize and then sign in, it says that this computer is already authorized (5 of 5 computers.) It all works fine, it seems. This happens every couple of days.
What could be causing this? One thing that concerns me, is the very first time this happened, it was 4 of 5, and I don't have 5 computers authorized (I have 4), and so I am worried that one of these times it's not going to work and I've already done my once a year deal, just a few months ago.

Problem solved. Just had to change the password for my original account, authorize a single song that was previously unavailable and all of the songs for that account are now free to play. Didn't think this would work initially, since the message said "account closed for security reasons," but decided to try it anyway. It works.
Thanks to anyone who was planning to answer.

Dear Tomarshe
I had the same problem a couple of weeks back.
What I did was that I restarted that Ipad of mine and voila!
Problem solved!

TS2755 My Ipod is not receiving messages from IMessages from an I phone, unless I restart it over and over. It has latest IOS. PLEASE HELP!

I recently bought my girlfriend an Ipod Touch 4g, so that she could listen to music and text me on IMessage do to lack of signal in her area. The iPod works half the time with sending and receiving texts in a timely manner, the other times she has to restart the iPod over and over to get ANY messages sent from me. There isn't any loss of signal on either device. I'm really confused at how to fix this issue. Please help.

Why can't I play songs I have bought when I have authorized my computer to do so over and over????

I recently got a new computer. Very frequently in iTunes I am asked to authorize this computer. I do so, and receive a message that I have already authorized this computer. Yet the song will still not play, and I could authorize it over and over and over again, with no luck. What is going on here????

Downloaded Firefox 4--computer asks over and over to restart, Firefox will not load, cannot remove it!!

I received an update message after my system had installed the newest Firefox 3. something, approximately 4 days ago. (Today is 3/22, so about 3/17--18) The newest update , when started, took me to the Mozilla homepage, where It was suggested I download and comment on the new Firefox 4---I do not normally do this, but am so impressed with Firefox versus most others, that I did, now, I cannot open Firefox at all, the older version, 3. something, is not in my system, only 4, but my system/PC upon trying to open the new Firefox, prompts me over and over to restart the system, (which I have done 3 times) I figured I would then simply remove it, (Firefox 4) and either try it again, or re-install the newest 3. something---I cannot remove it, even using my anti-virus program to do so, it simply prompts over and over to restart, wether I try to open, remove, or access it in any way---I do not wish to use system restore, but that seems my only option, please help!!!

I had the same problem and the solution is quite simple:
- delete all data that has to do with Firefox and Mozilla
- Reinstall the new version Firefox 4
You have to make sure that everything is deleted and well yes you will lose your profile data but at least it works again without any problem.

TS1292 When I input code it just keeps asking for iTunes account password over and over again not loading card

I got a £25 iTunes gift card for my birthday and I have tried to redeem it but it is not working. I don't know if it's not activated but there is no message saying that the card is not inactive and I have checked all the letters and numbers and I have entered them correctly. When I enter the code it asks me to enter my iTunes account password I do that and then it just brings up the box to enter the password again over and over again... Hope someone can help! Thanks!

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Could Not Open Key Error over and over and over

Error Message- "Could Not Open Key HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\QuickTimePlayerLib.QuickTimePlayerApp\CLSID"
Just got a new IPOD for Xmas but can't install Itunes. I think the problem is Quicktime. I have been searching in this discussion for people with the same problem and I have tried everything. I tried giving myself access in the registry editor but it won't let me. It says "Cannot save permission changes.......Access is denied." I tried deleting all the Quicktime files but it says "cannot delete files.....error while deleting." I have even tried the response to the 1400's error messages but nothing works. Also installing Quicktime by itself, same thing. Same error message over and over. Please help!!!!

I just upgraded to Lion. When I import photos it imports the same photo over and over. Not even one of the photos selected!! Do you know how to fix this?

I just upgraded to Lion. I just installed iLife'11 last night. When I import photos into iMovie (version 9.0.4.) , it imports the same photo over and over as if it were the ones I selected. Not even one of the photos selected!! The thumbnais show that unselected photo, if I preview then I just see the preview screen all black.
I even tried making an iPhoto album and importing straight from there. Exact same thing. I have restarted the application, restarted the computer, and googled half-to-death. No answers.
Do any of you know how to fix this?

This forum is for questions about Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's software for managing networked Mac systems, and hence not the best place for your question. I'd suggest asking in the iTunes for Windows forum.
Note, however, that iTunes has never been supported on the 64-bit version of Windows XP, so you're on your own to attempt to get it working.

Lion Mail is sending me my mail over and over. 2000 to 8000 messages at a time. How do I stop this.

This is a little screen shot of it.
I am new to mail. And I have it set up with Gmail and IMAP. And every so often it keeps sending me back my deleted messages. At first it was 2000 message lots. And as the screen shot in the link shows. One time it wanted to send me 8000 messages. I just want my deleted messages to stay deleted. From Mail, from Gmail, from everything. But they don't seem to want to stay deleted. I don't know if I have det up anything wrong. But it's pretty frustrating.
If anyone can help me I'll be really appreciative.

They are being sent to the All Mail folder. The inbox is pretty much unaffected.
I don't want to hide the All Mail folder and forget about it. I am after the messages gone forever. Especially from the All Mail folder.
I'm the kind of person who uses email like sms. I use it to contact people annd delete 95% of the messages after reading. I don't want them archived. I don't want them stored in the All Mail folder. I want them totally gone.
And yes it seems Mail is downloading all my messages over and over. So my question is how to stop the messages being stored/archived and to instead be totally deleted.
In the gmail settings I found:
Auto-Expunge off - Wait for the client to update the server.
When a message is marked as deleted and expunged from the last visible IMAP folder: Immediately delete the message forever. Instead of archiving it like I had set before. I'm not 100% sure if that'll fix the issue I am having. I'm sure you'll be able to tell me if I am on the right track.
And thanks for the quick reply.
