Some of the items in the Itunes Library....were not copied....because you..

are not authorized to play them on this computer.
This is what I got...here's my story.
I recently got a mac (absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE it)...and my former pc was in the shop having the lcd replaced...so in my impatience I switched all the songs that were on my ipod to my itunes on my mac...got my pc back and realized there are about 16 songs on my itunes that were not on my ipod...so i plugged my ipod in (on manual setting, configured for windows still) and tried to put those 16 songs on my ipod to move them to the new library and the above message is what I received....what am I doing wrong!
Thanks!

Mind if I please join this issue? I think I have the same problem, but If I need to start a separate thread, just let me know.
I got "...were not copied to the iPhone because you are not authorized to play them on this computer." This just started happened because I had to get a new hard drive for my iMac and did a restore. Everything seems to be fine except this.
When I try to Authorize computer it is already authorized.
This error statement makes no sense because the songs are ALEADY IN iTunes and would need no authorization to be played on this computer--copying them to the iPhone would seem like another issue.
Thanks

  • Some of the items in your iTunes library were not copied to your ipod

    It's a gen.5 ipod with video and works fine with almost everything. Sometimes I get the above message.
    I've recently tried a brand new set of CDs to rip to the ipod, and I get this again.
    I've de/re-authorised the mac, but no joy.
    Ideas?

    Thanks for the answer, but this is not a nano, it's a 5th gen 60GB wth video.

    This means iTunes can no longer locate the file in the location specified via the Get Info window for each individual track.  See the article for assistance.

    Hello mobyash,
    Have you tried converting each of these 8 tracks to a different file format and seeing if they will then sync to your iPod.  See this Apple support document for information and instructions on how to convert a song to a different format.

  • Some items in the iTunes library were not copied because they could not be converted error

    When I try to sync my iPhone with my Windows version of iTunes I get the error "Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPhone because one or more errors occurred."
    The error for all 3 of the songs is: "iTunes could not copy "song name" to the iPhone because the file could not be converted."
    The 3 songs are all songs that I have purchased from iTunes recently. One of them is just one song of an album that I purchased. If I go to my iPhone and download the songs from my purchased music section, they will download and play just fine. However, every time I sync the iPhone and iTunes I get the same error.
    I am using iTunes10.6.3.25. I am running 6.0 iOS on the phone.
    Thanks!

    I stumbled across this thread for the same issue.  I had 12 songs  that suddenly wouldn't sync from iTunes on my iMac to my iPhone 4. 
    I use iTunes Match and the missing songs were both purchased from iTunes and matched from CD's I had ripped.
    Per Winnits I also ended up deleting them and downloading them to resolve the issue.
    I took a screenshot of the error window ("Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPhone "My Name iPhone" because one or more errors occurred.") showing a list of the songs.  Then I disconnected my iPhone.
    I then deleted each song (but NOT from iCloud) and sent the files to the trash.  The iCloud download icon immediately appeared and I clicked on it to download the song again.  A few of the song titles were the same, either from different artists or a couple of live and studio versions.  I deleted each one since you can't tell the specifics from the error message.
    Then I reconnected my iPhone, let it sync and everything was fine, no more error message.  I've no idea what the issue was…perhaps a corrupt file, who knows?  I'm just glad it wasn't more than the dozen I ran into.
    Hope that helps anyone that follows!

  • Some of the videos in your iTunes library were not copied to the iPhone because they cannot be played on this phone

    I have been getting this error message even though I know that the videos I am trying to sync to my iPhone is in the right format, mp4. I have about 4 GB in videos and all of them are in this format but the new videos I am trying to sync to the phone (about 11 of them) in the same format cannot be copied over.
    Any clue?
    I am using iPhone 4 on the latest iTunes version on a Windows 7 PC

    I kept having a similar problem - 3 out of the 10 videos I had on iTunes wouldn't sync. They were in the right format and I KNEW they worked on my iPod because I'd RECORDED them on my iPod. I finally figured out what to do! Go to the movies in your iTunes library. Click on one that does not sync. Click on "Advanced" at the top of iTunes and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version". Once that's finished, be sure you delete the old version so you don't keep getting the error (or have 2 copies of the same video) and sync. This should eliminate the problem. At least it did for me!

  • "some of the items in the itunes library were not copied because they could not be found"

    I've been getting this message since "upgrading" to iTunes 11.  Total of about 50 items.  I can one-by-one use the Locate procedure to re-link them to the library, since they have not actually been moved or deleted, they are exactly where indicated in the Get Info window.
    My library wasn't broken but the new version has corrupted it.  I'm not interested in spending my life fiddling with iTunes, which seems to be what I do too much of the time.

    Oddly enough it could be a corrupted photo cache that causes this error message.  The message may clear up if you delete the "iPod Photo Cache" folder in iPhoto, see this thread for info:

  • Some the items in the Itunes Library were not copied because they could not be found

    I keep getting this error message when I try to sync ringtones to my Iphone 5s. I have 8 total, but 3 of them won't sync over. Itunes says it can't find, them, but I've checked a thousand times that the files are in the Itunes media>Music>Unkown Artist>Unknown Album. All 8 are in there, but only those 3 don't work. Is this a bug?

  • HT5457 Upgraded iphone 4 to IOS 6.1 Can not restore apps. "Some of the applications in your iTunes library were not installed because one or more errors occurred" error message

    I made the mistake of upgrading my iPhone 4, a seemingly innocuous task if you follow the Apple commercials' rhetoric.
    Now I can not restore any of my apps and before I go to far, I am wondering if I wil be able to restore my purchased apps?
    Is there an easy fix, before I waste hours on the phone with Apple tech support?
    Why is it becoming so complicated to run a telephone?
    Thanks

  • HT1386 I repeatedly receive an error mesage when trying to sync my ipod touch with my new computer, "some of the items in the itunes library, were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized for them on this computer."  My computer is authorized

    I repeatedly receive an error message when trying to sync my ipod touch with my itunes library with my new computer which reads, "Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized on this computer." However when I try and authorize my computer I always receive the message that this computer is authorized. What am I doing wrong?  I'm missing about 100 songs as a result of this error!!

  • Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the ipad because they could not be found

    Hi All, problem with my ipad mini. When trying to copy music over I get the following "some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the ipad because they could not be found". I reset the ipad, as new, not a backup copy, and managed to rectify the problem, right until I downloaded IOS 6.1.3, now the problem is back and the previous solution does not work. The songs can be easily transferred to my ipad and iphone, so they are no problems with the itunes library.

    The issue is in iTunes, not the iPad.
    In the itunes music library go to the songs that you miss, rightclick and choose "show in Finder", that results in "not found" and you have the option to locate (and "connect" them), if they are gone from your computer, you will have to restore them from a backup or TM.

  • 'Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied..." Errors

    I keep receiving the following errors when syncing content between my MacBook Pro and my Apple TV:
    "Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the Apple TV because they could not be found."
    The items the error refers to are no longer on my MacBook Pro because I have deleted them. How can I get Apple TV to overlook, or bypass, the already deleted Podcasts?
    Thank you.

    Ok, this is what seems to have happened. I deleted three podcasts without listening to them. The ATV didn't, however, delete them. I found this out when I redownloaded the podcasts that were causing me difficulty, and noticed that there were now two of each on the ATV.
    Here's what I did. I completely deleted my small library of podcasts; removed the files from the iTunes library when prompted to do so. I resynced my library. All podcasts were gone ... except the three that were causing the problem. I resynced. This time the main titles for the podcasts were there, but the files "could not be read"; finally, I resynced, went away for 30 or some minutes, and voila, no more podcasts.
    I will try to reload my podcast regulars later on.
    1. Delete all podcasts from iTunes
    2. Remove files when prompted to do so
    3. Resync Apple TV
    4. Walk away; go outside; enjoy the fresh air.
    5. Check your Apple TV
    6. If all is well, reload your podcasts; if not, try another resync.
    Hope it works for you.

  • Error Syncing: Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied

    I'm getting this error message: *+Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPhone because they could not be found; I've got over 100 of these when I look at the list.+* How do I clean this up?

    for the avoidance of doubt, these files could not physically be on an external disk which isn't connected ? or could you have deleted the actual files from the iTunes music folder via explorer ?
    what about the main iTunes music library ? do the files have a "!" next to them ? do you get a +*would you like to locate+* warning when you try to play them in iTunes ?

  • Items in the itunes library were not copied

    I recently upgraded my phone from an iphone 3GS to a 4S and synced to itunes. Some of my music is now not available on itunes. I get the message 'some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the iphone because they could not be found'. These items have an exclamation mark next to them. All these items were listenable on my old iphone, and in itunes but they aren’t available on my new iphone and not in itunes anymore. When I right click any of these files in itunes I get the message 'the song could not be used because the original file could not be found'.

    Some of your orignal files might have been moved or deleted from original location.  You just have to search your hard drive and see where those files are and right mouse click those file in iTunes library with exclamation mark, select Get Info and direct them to the right location.
