Repeated authorisation requests - have read FAQ, but still problematic

Hi,
have downloaded aboout 80-100 tracks from iTunes, but recently I can't play them as I'm repeatedly asked to authorize my computer.
Have tried the FAQ sheet - authorised computer, removed that hidden file and then reauthorised etc - but still can't get it to work.
Three requests lodged with support over the last week, but no responses other than the automated links to the FAQ sheet.
Any help greatly appreciated

^.^
I have the same problem, and I did everything on the Support webpage that everyone points to. Nothing works. The only solution that I know of beyond that is to re-set the iPod to its original factory settings. Because of all of the issues with beacking up the iTunes library, and because I might have to replace TV shows that don't show up in the library after taking such a step, I am hesitant to take this drastic step.
At the same time, I am also not happy with customer service, who were absolutely useless on this issue, and there has been no help on this issue other than the already read Support page, with all of its solutions, which I have already done.

  • I tunes will not open - have read ALOT but still can't get it going

    How much is Apple losong out to what appears to be a fairly common but complicated problem. Not sure if it all started the day I upgraded to i-tunes 9 or when I renewed my Norton Anti Virus. It was working for months even when I had Norton which i have since removed using the Norton Removal Tool. When I first click on it it tries to open and I get a message saying that my Quick Time software is outdated but BEFORE I can click on that another box opens over top that says "i-tunes has stopped working" "a problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close he problem and notify you if a solution is found"
    If i try again , nothing happens at all. When I go to processes I can see where it appears briefly maybe 2-3 seconds then disappears.
    I have tried:
    Making another user account and opening I-tunes
    Removing my Norton anti virus
    Uninstalling and re-installing i-tunes and quick time both together and separately....many many times
    restoring previous version of i-tunes
    I get the same message if i try to open just quicktime.
    My i -tunes library itself will also not open.
    Please tell me where to go from here
    I am running a newer (3 months old) HP with Windows 7 64 bit
    IDEAS???
    Rob.

    Excellent news, Rob! Glad you're up and running again.
    Any idea as to how it got this way? I am thinking of re-installing my Norton since it has worked well for me for the last few years and I an not exactly sure if that was the problem or if was a Windows 7 thing?
    I reckon Norton and Windows 7 were innocent parties here. Some other application dumped a couple of boatloads of QuickTime componentry in your sysWOW64. (Older versions of codec packs, video converter software, other file converter software, and media players that offer the opportunity to use quicktime files "without installing QuickTime" are the usual culprits here, but some games might do this too.) That might go unnoticed so long as that componentry matches the existing version of QuickTime software that you have installed on the PC ... but things turn to custard when you have to update your QuickTime version, and the versions of the componentry in /sysWOW64/ no longer match your "QuickTime proper". (On 32-bit systems, the same sort of thing happens, with the difference being that the "foreign" QuickTime componentry would typically be lurking down in the system32 folder.)
    So, we pretty much get cases of this sort of thing showing up constantly at the forums, with a big pulse in reports happening after any QuickTime version update. (It produces a significant proportion of the "iTunes has encountered a problem" and "iTunes has stopped working" messages that we get reported here.) You were really unlucky in that you got a rarer version of the possible error messages ... so there's not as much relevant troubleshooting advice available on the web, which makes researching what could possibly be going wrong for you considerably harder than it is for folk with the more common versions of the error messages.

  • I have huge lag with Safari's Reading List using a rMBP. I have probably 80 articles saved, which is likely the cause of the lag. Is there any way to export that list of articles so as to be able to delete them from Reading List but still have a record?

    I'm currently dealing with this issue myself, except that my rMBP has NO articles in the reading list.  It's a brand new rMBP too, purchased just this week, with the 2.6 Ghz Processor & 16GB of RAM.
    Let's see what we can find.  I may just take it back to the Apple Store.

    I am also providing you with a screenshot of what appears! I need photos on my iPad2

    You don't see it on the left-hand side of iTunes - you need to connect and select the iPad on the left-hand side, and then one of the tabs on the right-hand side that you use to select which content to sync to the iPad should be Photos : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
    You will need to select and sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent sync remains on the iPad, not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from it.

    What do you mean forget your phone? iTunes will still function just find without the phone. I'm not sure what you want it to do.

    It just means some spammer is using your email address as the sender address for their spam. This is very easy to do - anyone can do it simply by changing the From email address in their email program. It does not mean your account was hacked or you have a virus (there are no current Mac viruses on the loose anyway, nor has there been for years).
    There's nothing you can do about it. It can happen to anyone and the spammers will move on to using someone else's email address before long.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
