PURCHASED iTUNES NOT AUTHORIZED FOR DIGITAL EXPORT

I am trying in vein to burn the songs I have bought in the iTunes store to a CD so I can play them in my car. However they come with a small padlock symbol in the top left corner. If I try to burn them onto a CD, a message comes up saying the song is not authorized for digital export. I have chosen audio CD in iTunes-preferences-advanced-burning, but this has no effect, I have authorized my computer also. Does this mean I have wasted my money buying these tunes and have to sit at my mac to listen to them and nowhere else?? This is making my blood boil!

Dragging it to the desktop is the problem. It sounds like you're not burning the disk from within iTunes. Create a playlist in iTunes and select Burn Playlist to Disc. And make sure the iTunes prefs for Burning are set to Audio CD. I have an iTunes store purchase in my library that is burned to CD and plays in my car. When I just dragged that track to my desktop, I see the little lock you're speaking of. Try burning from iTunes and it should work.

  • Not authorized for digital export

    I am trying to burn a CD from songs that I have purched from iTunes. But I am getting an error message that reads that the song is an MP4 and is not authorized for digital export. What do I have to do in order to burn this CD?

    Make sure you have the Burning preferences set to "audio CD".

  • How can I retrieve purchased tunes not authorized for my computer?

    I am told I have 79 purchased tunes from I Tunes Store that were not copied on to my computer because my computer was not authorized for those tunes. How did this happen & how can I correct the problem?

    Sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean. Did you copy tracks from one computer to another, and if so by what means?

  • 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.

  • 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

    Log out of the iTunes Store on your device:
    Settings>iTunes & App Store...tap your Apple ID, then select "Sign Out"
    Reset your device:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
    After the device has restarted, sign back in to the App Store as above.

  • 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.

    I'll add my frustration in trying to purchase an e-mail gift card and being told I'm not authorized either.  Be nice to get more feed-back on the reason (e.g., no valid credit card, we think you pirate songs, you wear funny shoes .. something) instead of just NO!

    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

  • Not authorized for this computer

    I just got a new laptop and downloaded iTunes.Then I downloaded Alice In Wonderland from iTunes using a digital copy disc I bought with the DVD. Every time I try to put it on my iPod it tells me it was "not copied to my iPod because it was not authorized for it on this computer." I am not computer savvy so I haven't figured out how to get it authorized. Does anyone know how I can?

    Salut!
    I have seen similar messages pretty much all the time. The only thing that helps is activating the computer before starting to sync the iphone.
    The really annoying thing is, if I don't do that, iTunes will randomly decide that some apps are not authorized and will happily uninstall them.
    I wonder what's going on there
    cheers

  • I made the mistake of resetting my iPod to factory defaults. Now it will only partially sync to my music library. I continually get an error message saying that certain songs are not authorized for my computer. Any ideas?

    I made the mistake of resetting my iPod to factory defaults. Now it will only partially sync to my music library. I continually get an error message saying that certain songs are not authorized for my computer, although they are in the iTunes library on the computer and will play. It's these songs that won't transfer to the iPod. I have deauthorized and re-authorized the computer but no joy. Any ideas?

    Hello there DesertRat71,
    I was thinking that some of the songs in your library may have been purchased under a different apple id. You have already done the first thing I would have done by de authorizing and re authorizing. To verify this, highlight one of the songs that will not sync over and use File>Get Info. Here is the help menu link for it if you need it help://bookmark='https://help.apple.com/itunes/mac/11.0/help/index.html?localePa th=English.lproj#itns2937'
    In the Summary section there will be an Apple ID entry. If it shows something different than what you are currently using then I recommend signing into the Apple ID it shows and authorizing the computer for that one as well.
    All the best,
    Sterling
