Repeatedly prompted 2 authorize computer

i have recently moved my itunes library from the family desktop to my laptop. after getting tht library loaded, 40 of my songs will not play and i have 2 authorize the computer 2 play them. having authorized the computer multiple times, it still will not play. i have a vague idea wat is going on as i cancelled my old itunes account a few months ago and i think i may have purchased the songs on that account and i cant remember the email address or password. is there anyway 2 find out if those songs were bought on that account and if so, how do i get the email address back?

I''m not clear on a few things so ...
have tried that, ...
Are you saying you have confirmed the iTS account name and password for the 40 or so songs you are unable to authorize? And you've used that information to try authorizing them?
... same thing happens.
For the record, exactly what happens?
i know wish i had not deleted that account!!!!
I don't understand what you mean that you "deleted" the account. iTunes Store accounts can't be deleted precisely because thet are needed in order for purchases that have previously been made to continue to be played.

  • ITunes repeatedly prompts for computer authorization for only one song

    I already tried apple recommended resolutions but unfortunately they were not my resolution. Only one song after purchasing lots of others cannot be played because it asks computer authorization. I'm using windows 7 and itunes is the most recent. Now no one in apple is replying to my email. Did anyone have the similar case like this and solved,, please suggest the solution!

    I just solved by myself. I signed on to another computer's itunes and downloaded the song. It looks like no better solution out there. I hope anyone else who encountered the same problem - for the first time and frustrated badly like me - get help from this.

  • IDVD asks repeatedly to authorize computer to play audio from iTunes

    Everytime I try to add an audio file from my iTunes library to my iDVD menu, it asks me to authorize the computer. So I authorize the computer but it never adds the audio. So I drag the audio clip again to where I want it to play, and it asks me to authorize again. And again and again. Any ideas what I can do?
    Thanks for any help!!

    Can I assume that the audio file in question has been downloaded to iTunes rather than copied from a CD?
    What you see is one of the more irritating side-effects of DRM copyright protected tracks.
    The workaround is to burn that track to a CD, then import the track from the CD back into iTunes and save it as an AIFF file.
    That Audio track should import into iDVD without trouble.

    Hello Kuldip13,
    It sounds like iTunes keeps asking you to authorize the computer. If you have already tried all the steps within the article you came from:
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    I would next check to see if the same Apple ID is signed into, that was used to play these purchases with this article:
    Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1920
    Open iTunes
    Highlight one of the items you have purchased (You can find your purchases in your Purchases playlist).
    Choose File > Get Info.
    Click the Summary tab.
    The Account Name area will list the account used to purchase the item. Unless you have changed accounts, this is your iTunes Store account name.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

  • Was repeatedly prompted to authorize this computer or I would no longer be able to play certain video's.

    Hello, I kept receiving prompts to authorize this computer or I would no longer be able to view certain video's.  The funny thing is my computer is the administrator or original computer. Never had a problem for years now this started happening. I would select authorize this computer and it would say this computer is already authorized. In the block to authorize this computer it always had my daughters apple id (her e-mail address) and I would remove it and insert mine. I let her use the home sharing option before, could this have anything to do with it? Now i have only 1 movie out of 5 I have purchased remaining on my Ipod. And it won't reload the others back onto my ipod.  Where do i go from here? Appreciate any of you pro's out there lending me a helping hand.  Thanks very much.........

    Perhaps this article can help.

    You may want to double check to make sure that all of these videos were actually purchased with your Apple ID. You can view this information from under each movie's Summary tab of the Get Info window in iTunes.

    6. I have double-checked that themusic was purchased by me by right clicking and hitting Info.
    7. I havede-authorized this PC and re-authorized (which it confirms) it to the same effect.
    The number ofPC's authorized is only 1, this one.

  • Repeated Prompts to Authorize Computer

    Before someone suggests it I already tried this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    It didn't resolve my issues.  It just repeats the prompts to authorize and when I try it says my computer is already authorized.  It won't even play in my iPad (3rd Gen).  This just started all of the sudden today and I have not made any changes to my PC (Windows 7) or iPad.  I even tried deauthorizing and re-authorizing with no success.  Any ideas?
    I did open a case with Apple but who knows when they will get back to me.

    Hello dlethree
    To clarify, have you tried to remove the SC info folder and then authorize your Apple ID again within iTunes?

I have read several posts, but many have problems with old purchases and new computers. This is a purchase I made today. I have tried deleting the SC file, and made all changes suggested by iTunes web site and other suggestions. Anybody have any suggestions I may have missed?

  • TS1389 iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases   How to fix?  Have removed sc info folder and adjusted user account controls per instructions

    My ITunes sore account repeatedly prompts to authorize computer.  I have deauthorized and reauthorized computer.  I only have one computer authorized.   I have changed the user account controls per instructions.  I have removed the SC Info folder per instructions for Windows 7 and nothing works.   Everything was working fine a few days ago.

    I have now checked my purchaes and when I check the video info by going to File/Get Info, I notice that some of the most recent purchases do not list my apple id whereas previous purchaes do.
    How do I correct this?

  • TS1389 iTunes is repeatedly asking to authorize computer for one song on an album

    I purchased an album on iTunes and one song on the album repeatedly asks me to authorize this computer but every other song on the album plays.  What is wrong with iTunes?  I enter my apple ID and password and it tells me the computer is already authorized.  But when I try to play the song, it asks again to authorize computer.  Over and over and over.  Something is wrong with iTunes.

    You might also try deleting the track, then re-downloading it, which should be free.

  • Authorize Computer - Repeatedly Pops Up

    Everytime I try to synch my iPod with iTunes I have problems and it takes more than 2-3 hours to figure it out between it freezing or needing to download update after update. My latest issue is that iTunes keeps telling me that my purchased music will not synch because my computer is not authorized. When I go to authorize my computer it tells me that it is already. I have tried rebooting, de-authorizing and re-authorizing, even follwing the instructions to delete the SC Info folder. Nothing is working and I am beyond frustrated. I am about ready to trash my iPod and never buy an Apple product ever again. Please please help!
    FYI - I just spent an hour downloading the latest iPod software for my 8GB nano before encountering this error. I am running iTunes 8.2

    I have the same issue. I updated to Windows 7 and updated my iTunes. I am repeatedly prompted to authorize my computer. I log in with my Apple ID and authorize. I get a message saying I have already authorized my computer. However, the songs will still not play and show as not authorized.
    All of those songs were purchased under my old account name. Over a year ago, I updated my Apple ID and my current Apple ID is now under my new e-mail address. When I try to authorize using the old Apple ID, I get a message saying that Apple ID does not exist.
    Troubleshooting tried:
    * Attempted to re-set password using old e-mail/Apple ID - Apple ID does not exist
    * Attempted to re-set password and update information on my account - No resolution
    * Removed SC Info folder and re-started computer - No resolution
    * Followed all possible solutions in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389 - No resolution
    * Checked to see if iTunes needed any updates. Downloaded updates - No resolution

  • TS1389 iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorise computer even after the computer is already authorised

    iTunes repeatedly prompts me to authorise computer before playing a particular song. The problem persists even after I've authorised my computer. When I try to authorise again, it acknowledges that my computer is alrady authorised but the song will still not play.

    Bought a song off iTunes Store on my iphone, came home, synced with my computer, and had the same problem with being asked for authorization. I authorized and recieved messages telling me my computer was authorized, yet it kept asking for authorization repeatidly every time I attempted to play the song. The song no longer worked on my iphone as well once I synced with my computer.
    I took newriii's advice, deleted the song off my iTunes, logged on the iTunes Store, viewed my purchases, downloaded the song once again, and it now works fine.
    Weird bug, yo.

  • Frequent authorize computer requests before synch of the iOS apps or starting of the AppStore apps.

    Hello,
    almost every time, when I synch an iOS device or like to start a Mac AppStore application, the iTunes/AppStore request to authorize this computer.
    I tried all the hint from the official Apple site (authorize via admin account, delete the special folder, de-authorize and the authorize again, remove all computer assigned to my account) but nothing helps so far.
    This is very annoying :(.
    Also I places from time to time such requests for help in this forum, searched in internet but not solution so far.
    I found out, that many of old song (some of them are still with DRM) and iPod games (all with DRM) are assigned to the account name, which is different as my current account name. I don't remember but it was change at some moment.
    Anyway, after an authorization, I also able to play such DRM songs and sync iPod classic games to my iPod.
    So. please help.
    Many thanks in advanced.

    Hey Mohamed Akhtar,
    Thanks for the question. To troubleshoot this issue, you may want to try deauthorizing all computers:
    iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
    To deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID
    If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
    1. Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
    2. If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
    3. Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
    4. In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
    Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).
