Not Authorized To Load Music Onto IPOD message

I just did an Erase and Install of Leopard. I had backed up all of my music to an external hard drive before. I drag and dropped all the itunes music and files back over to the computer again, started ITunes, and now it says I have tons of music I'm not Authorized to put on my Ipod.
I went into settings and Authorized my computer using my .mac account, and then iTunes downloaded like 200s songs.... but it stills says there's more songs I'm not authorized for. Any suggestions? I just want to have all the music I paid for, and I'm not really sure with the same computer it was on in the first place, is no longer authorized.

You cannot merge accounts, unfortunately. As for accessing the cox email account, you should still be able to use its login info even if you no longer have access to that address. Be it you cannot remember your password or whatever, you'll need to email the iTunes team:

Itunes purchase not authorized to load on my ipod

I just bought a book from the itunes store, and when I try to load it to my ipod I get an error message telling me that I am not "authorized" to play those on this computer. I guess charginng my credit card wasn't enough authority.
Has anyone else experienced this and how can I fix it asap?

Hm... I can see that the Apple techs are all over this one. I would be satisfied with a link to where this answer has already been answered. If it doesn't get fixed, how can I get a refund? I'm finally beginning to recognize the fatal flaw in the ingenius ipod system... Absolutely NO support for itunes. I want to talk to a person and straighten this out.

Have you tried syncing your ipod to iTunes?

Is it possible to load music onto an iPod in Disc Mode?

Hi guys,
Is it possible to load music onto an iPod in Disc Mode?
I recently sold my 5th Gen 30Gb iPod on eBay, about a week later the buyer sent it back claiming it was faulty, he could not switch it on etc etc...
Within a few minutes I had it running again, but was making a clicking sound. So I put it into disc mode, connected it to my G4 and found out that the seller had managed to change the name of the iPod, delete some of my music, load some of their music onto the iPod and play that music.
My question is would they have been able to do all that in disc mode? Or would the iPod have to have been fully functional? Let alone using third party software to extract my songs that were already on the iPod.
I think they received a perfectly working iPod, used it, damaged it, were unable to fix it (couldn't be bothered to find out how) and so sent it back claiming it was faulty all along.
Thanks for any help and advice anyone can give.
Alex

Thanks, I realise that now.
It turns out that the buyer reformatted the iPod for Windows.
Would they have been able to do that in Disc Mode?
Or would the iPod have to have been fully functional?
I'm trying to prove that the iPod was indeed fully functional when they received it, because they were able to reformat it, rename it, delete some of my music and load some of their own music.

With the new ios7, can I not load music onto my phone anymore?

I've downloaded the new ios7 and now it seems I can't load music onto my phone anymore? I have a 4s. I plug it in to iTunes and it says that the phone doesn't have a current version of iTunes on it. I've searched in the app store and can't find one.
Instead I'm stuck with the player trying to play songs through my cloud and it's not even doing that properly.

You will find that it is saying you have an issue with iTunes on Your Computer...
iOS 7 requires iTunes version 11.1 Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download

Trying to sync music onto iPod but iTunes 11 keeps crashing

I am trying to sync my entire iTunes library music onto iPod but iTunes 11 keeps crashing (using Windows 8 laptop)
I have tried to do it manually in little chunk and also tried the auto sync method too.
I have restored my ipod to factory setting 12 times now and retry but just when I think I'm getting somewhere iTunes freezes in the middle of the sync and then tell me it "cannot copy because of unknown error (-50)"
From then on my Ipod refuses to accept any more syncing, it may do one and then it freezes again, iTunes says there is an issue with iPod, so I run a scan fix, it is repaired but then iTunes wants me to "restore to factory settings" again, it's a never ending circle, I get it fixed, iTunes crashes and then I have to fix, restore and start all over again just to have the same thing happen all over again
I have read here and there that there seems to be a bug in iTunes 11 when it comes to syncing.
I don't know what else to do, except revert back to iTunes 10 but I don't know how to do that either.
Anyone else had same issue syncing their library over to their iPod and how I fix it?

Hi, ktchinagirl.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
There are a couple reason this issue could be happening. I have included a couple troubleshooting resources below that may help resolve this issue. Some of the articles are missing the steps for Windows 8, try the steps for Windows 7 as an alternative.
iTunes: May become unresponsive when connecting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3219
Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size can cause this error. Contact the software manufacturer that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows:How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

My itunes wont sync music onto ipod

itunes wont sync music onto ipod because the file/disk could not be read or written...help me pleasee i just want my music onto ipod.. all the music is still on my itunes and i have like 300 songs but its wont go onto my ipod!!!!

You can only drag and drop if you have iTunes configured to manually manage music. With the iPod connected to the compute go to the Summary pane for the iPod and check the box under Options that says sync only checked songs and videos.

I have a new laptop and it says its not authorized to load my library of music I have ALREADY bought and downloaded on my old laptop..HELP?

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

New Mac Not Authorized To Play Music From iTunes Store

My new Mac is not authorized to play music purchased from the iTunes store. This was my error since I was a bit over exuberant and forgot to deauthorize my old computer before transferring the iTunes library using the setup assistant.
I do not plan to keep my old computer and will delete the music. In order to retain all my old settings (e.g. copies still available), am I now able to repeat the transfer process using the migration assistant?
I would like to simply deauthorize the old computer and then transfer the iTunes files a second time.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Rod

Just go to 'Store' in the menu bar in iTunes and select 'Authorize' to authorize your new Mac with your iTunes account.
If you have authorized 5 computers (the maximum), you can reset them all once a year from the account management section of iTunes Music Store. Access this by signing in and clicking the button labelled with your Apple ID in the top right of the iTunes Store window.
You can transfer your entire iTunes library (ratings, playlists, date added, last played, playcount etc.) by just copying the entire iTunes folder (containing iTunes Library, iTunes Music and iTunes Music Library.xml) from your old Music folder to your new one.
Make sure you back up all of your purchased music, it cannot be downloaded again!
Hope that is helpful in some way!

Loading music onto smartwatch 3

Hi
Has anyone figured out how to load music onto the sw3 4gb internal memory. i have try plugging it into my pc,but it dosnt show up.
Take care
Stuart

I had to add music into play music on the Web, download it to the phone from play music, then it automatically downloads to the sw3 when the download to android wear box is ticked. It kept stopping for me at first, I'm assuming as the battery was below 50% but after a quick charge it downloaded without issue.

Error mesage when trying to load songs onto ipod, computer is authorized

my husband and I have 2 different user IDs on vista and when I tried to load some songs from our public itunes directory onto his ipod, an error pops up saying this computer is not authorized to play these songs. When I try to authorize the computer in the itunes store it says, computer already authorized but I continue to get the error. I logged out of my account and back in but it still isn't working. Now when I tried to sync my iphone under my user id on the laptop I'm getting the error message that the computer is not authorized so it can't sync my iphone apps. It worked fine a week ago, this is not a new computer.

I have the exact same problem, meaning I have to reinstall a game I bought in iTtunes Store every time I plug in my iPod.
I just tried the signing out, restart, signing in proces, but it didn't work for me.. any other suggestions how to solve this?
I've been experiencing this problem ever since I updated itunes to 8.1, and even now after updated to 8.2 it's still the same..

Loading iTunes purchased music onto iPod

Hello,
I just recieved a brand new 5th generation 30GB iPod, and tried to sync it with my computer today. Most of my audio files loaded just fine, but none of the music I purchased on iTunes will load. In addition, any time I try to play some of the purchased music, it says I am not authorized, and even after reauthorizing the computer, it keeps saying I'm not authorized. This was never a problem before I hooked up the new iPod. Help?

What itunes version are you running?
I got this from a thread where bnoir suggested:
right-click on the track in your itunes library, and select "get info". click on the "Summary" tab.
is the account name on the track precisely the same as the account name that you've been entering in the authorization dialog?

Downloaded iTunes - now won't load my purchaed music onto ipod!!!

Very odd and frustrating - just downloaded the new iTunes 6 and now my iTunes will not allow my purchased music to be placed onto my ipod! Indeed, rather than update my ipod it has taken all the purchased music off my iPod!!
What kind of backwards update is this?
When I press the "update ipod" button I get a message that my ipod software is too old to update all the music and it directs me to www.apple.com/ipod - but I've downloaded the new software (I'm running Version 2.2) and the problem persists.
Grrr....wish I had just left it alone as it was fine before - i guess this is apple's way of forcing me to shell out more money and upgrade my 10.2.8 operating system...
Very Disgruntling,
Pieces
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.2.x) Itunes 6

Note that you have to actually run the update - where you get the window where you have the choices to "Update" or "Restore" your iPod (you'll of course want to "Update"). It sounds to me like you downloaded the updater but did not actually run it to update your iPod.
Hope this helps.
