Stuck in an endless authorization loop...

Just downloaded DEATH RACE 2000 -- a personal favorite -- using iTunes 7. When I try to watch the movie, I get a gray screen and a dialog telling me that this computer is not authorized to play the M4V file... although this Mac IS authorized. OK, no big deal, I'll just play along... eventually, a dialog appears informing me that my Mac is now authorized. However, there's STILL no audio or video, although the progress bar is moving so the movie is supposedly playing.
Close iTunes, open it again, same story.  Even tried running it from the iTunes Movie folder, and the same error occurs.
Is anyone having this same problem with movie downloads?

I am having the same problem...Authorized music plays fine, but no purchased video will play, I go into the endless authorization loop that you speak of.
Anyone have any ideas?

  • Stuck in an Endless Restart Loop

    My Mac Pro 8-core running OS 10.5.4 is stuck in an endless restart loop. The problem started when I tried to allow read & write access on my Macintosh HD to another user. Even though I only applied the permission change to my internal hard drive, all my externals suddenly became locked and I could not access them. When going to set permissions on the externals, it was listed as "custom" and I could not alter them. I went to the terminal to try to allow access to the external drives, but the terminal failed to load. That's when I tried restarting my computer and it's now rebooting constantly without ever loading.
    What I've tried so far:
    -I can't load the OSX install CD because the computer is unresponsive to the open tray command by holding down the mouse click.
    -The computer is unresponsive when I try to start in safe mode.
    -The computer is unresponsive when I hold down command option O F to force the tray open with firmware.
    -I reset the PRAM by pressing command option P R, this is the only keyboard command that has worked so far, but still nothing.
    -I unplugged the computer for 10 minutes and plugged it back in. Still nothing.
    Any help on what to do next would be appreciated.

    I'm having a similar problem.. my early 2008 3Ghz macro when cold starts up the fans rev up and click its off. this repeats for up to five minutes, then i get a chime and then it shuts off. this is repeated for a will as if it is warming up. after about ten minutes it gets as far as finishing booting up and still shuts off. only after about 15 minutes this operating system is stable and does not shut off.
    when the computer is fully warmed up it shuts off and restarts fine..
    it has recently had a new logic board. can it be the power supply..
    please any one got any ideas???

  • Flash Builder 4 endless compile loop?

    Sometimes my Flex projects get stuck in an endless compile loop. What I mean is, they start building, go to a certain percentage and then restart at 0%. I have to cancel the build process and do a Project, Clean just to get the project built so I can debug.
    Anyone else experiencing this? I'm unsure if this is related to having Aptana Studio 1.5.1 also installed on the same eclipse, but that's the only other major plugin I have installed.

    Hi David,
    yup, I know this error. I reproduced it several times.
    If you use the automatic binding, by dragging and dropping an EntityService to a Datagrid, some code is added.
    For example a definition for the callresponder, a call for this callresponder, a creationComplete for the DataGrid.
    If you do this several times and then start you delete some parts of the generated code for bindinng, the described error happens quit quickly!
    Then you do not(!) get a clear compile error, but it compiles for ever .
    You can solve this in two ways.
    Take this project out of your workspace ( you do not habe to delete it from disk).
    Find the still existing code snip, that produces the error and delete it and use clean compile. To find the error is tricky!!!  because DataGrid3 belongs to Callresponder 2 and so on and you don not(!) get clear messages from the compiler.
    I use the automatic code generation, but do not use the automatic binding. Then this kind of error does not happen any more!
    Hope this helps!
    Martin Zach
    P.S: This has nothing to do with Aptana.

  • New Computer Stuck in Authorization Loop

    I recently bought a new PC and I seem to be stuck in an authorization loop.  I successfully authorized the PC but some purchased songs from my library won't import or play on the new PC.  When I try and play from the shared library I get a pop up to authorize the computer even though it is already authorized.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    imported files and settings from my old Macbook using its hard drive
    Therein lies the glitch.
    Reformat your Mac using Lion Recovery
    There's a file or setting that was imported that's causing the problem. Better to use your new Mac for a few days to make sure it's stable before importing data from another Mac.

  • Time Machine wireless setup failed, now stuck in an endless loop...

    Oh dear!
    I've had my TM up and running, backing up my main iMac and MBP without problems. I've had it configured to "join a wireless network".
    This evening I decided to change this so that the TM would "create a wireless network", with the intention of retiring my existing modem/router.
    Something went wrong somewhere along the way and I'm now faced with a Airport Utility message box reading "Airport Utility was unable to find any Apple wireless devices. Make sure ... then click rescan to try again".
    I don't understand what this means. Which "wireless device" is being referred to here? The TM or the iMac itself? Having tried rescan a couple of times I thought I'd give up, close down the Airport Utility / Time Capsule setup dialog boxes and revert back to my original configuration.
    However, this doesn't seem to be possible. When I reopen the TM part of system preferences and choose "Setup Time Capsule" it seems to jump straight to the "Airport Utility was unable to find any Apple wireless devices..." message. There are buttons for revert and update whilst the "discovering" swirlygig is playing, but these are greyed out. Likewise the manual setup button that appears thereafter. In fact, the only button that is clickable is Rescan, which takes me straight back to "Airport Utility was unable to find any Apple wireless devices...".
    So I am stuck in an endless loop with no apparent way out.
    Thoughts / ideas welcomed! Thanks in advance, Ian.

    Could you be a bit more specific, and drop a few pronouns? What I'm understanding is this:
    1. You have a Time Capsule
    2. Time Machine was functioning perfectly
    3. You wanted to create a wireless network (??? You lost me here. Shouldn't Time Capsule create a network already?)
    4. You cannot set it up through System Preferences. (You're using so many terms that I can't tell what you're trying to say in the "However" paragraph.
    Try using Airport Utility in the Utilities folder, found in the Applications folder.

  • Stuck In Endless Restart Loop *HELP*

    I tried to download 7digital and my phone is now in an endless restart loop and it will not load my phone! I even did a battery pull!

    BBSAK might be ale to nuke it so you can.
    Manual device OS upgrade instructions:
    1. First locate your carrier and the OS file you wish to use.
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    2. Do a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion and unplug BlackBerry. Get DM here http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
    3. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
    4. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
    5. This step is not needed unless there is an issue on next steps. Use BBSAK from BBSAK.org and wipe the device (after doing a complete backup) then after you get the error 507 (no OS installed) then proceed to step 6
    6. remove internet connection to PC and reboot PC.
    7. Plug in BlackBerry and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file was in.
    8. if you did Step 5, restore from back up. Follow this KB if needed http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10339

  • The product that I purchased is not working!!!! I need help and I've been stuck in your "Contact us loop" for the last few days and I'm getting frustrated. How do I contact you for HELP!

    The product that I purchased is not working!!!! I need help and I've been stuck in your "Contact us loop" for the last few days and I'm getting frustrated. How do I contact you for HELP!

    Probably the best place to start is the right forum for your product. This is the forum for Distiller Server, a long dead product used by big companies, and probably not what you have. If you can't find the right forum, please let us know the FULL name of what you paid for (please check your invoice, as Adobe have many similar products), and we can perhaps direct you. Good luck!

  • IPAD 2 is wiped and in endless restore loop with 5.1

    I downloaded and installed iOS5.1 about 7 hours ago after being prompted on both my iPad2 and iPhone4S via WIFI. No problem with the iPhone,works great. However, when the iPad rebooted it told me I needed to restore the device, which I attempted to do so over a dozen times on two differnet PC's (office and home) and each time I get an error "The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1)." I have checked many forunm and sites for help. I tried everything that Apple and other posts suggested but no luck at all in the endless restore loop.
    I am really shocked that Apple would release this IOS 5.1 disaster out with any real help or guidance. The worse part is the erasure of all data on the device, including the device name. The ITunes window can't even identify the capacity or serial number. What a cluster.

    In case anyone was wondering how this was resolved, I had to ring Apple Support. Secondly, this problem was compounded by the fact that I only backed up to the Cloud, not my PC. Stupidly, on my iPad after it lost all it's data, I clicked on 'sync to the Cloud', which overwrote my good backup.
    I had to set my iPad in iTunes up as a new iPad, and move everything back over. From now on I am only going to sync to the PC.

  • ICloud Setup on Mac post Mavericks upgrade results in endless do loop

    iCloud Problems
    So you open Internet Accounts - and delete from internet accounts [email protected] (can’t logout)
    The dreaded account is gone……..

    You go back to internet accounts and get —

  • Endless Installation Loop...

    Hey,
    So, I went and started up boot camp and installed Windows XP Pro (SP2), it said the installation was a success. However, when I restart my computer (without holding option), the screen goes black and boots into windows. Windows then says "PLEASE INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE". When I do, it starts up the install prompt and does the whole thing over again. I have tried numerous partition types (NTFS, FAT32, Leaving it intact, etc.) with no success. Also, when I try holding option, the system ignores me and does its endless installation loop again. I have to hold 3 keys (I forgot what they are, but that's not important) just to get it to boot back into OS X.
    So, what do I have to do in order to run Windows Successfully? I have also tried many different install disks, still with no success.
    Do you think upgrading my Boot Camp Assistant will help?

    The only boot camp assistant version is 2.0 for mac. Boot camp only updates to 2.1 on the windows side. You can try redownloading bootcamp assitant for mac or reinstall mac os again maybe something is wrong?

  • Never Ending Authorize loop

    I'm now running into the never ending authorization loop.
    I've found the KB Article and have followed all of the steps, but am still not able to get passed it.
    I am noticing however that there are some discrepancies, even when I attempt to login to this site.
    My Apple ID doesn't follow an e-mail address format [email protected] When I go to authorize however, by default, the system puts in the @xxx.com extension. I remove it and the system tells me that the computer is already authorized.
    I'm using Windows7 x64 with iTunes 9.0.2.25 and a 3rd Generation Nano.
    I've sent an e-mail in to Apple for guidance, but am looking for any other ideas.

    Here is some additional information that I find questionable / lead me to believe that this is a bug in the system.
    As I continue to look through the list of files that are "Not Authorized" I find that some of them are files, I didn't purchase through the iTunes store, but rather music that was imported via a CD from my collection.
    What's going on Apple?!?!

  • Flash export - endless reload loop in frameset

    I'm exporting a SWF from Keynote and it plays nicely in a "regular" HTML page, but when it's placed in a frame I get an endless reload loop and nothing displays.
    Someone far more technical than me has analysed the file and says it's been caused by the SWF using a "getURL".
    I've worked round it by exporting as FLV, bringing that into Flash CS3 and exporting as SWF from there, but it's not the most elegant solution!
    Does anyone know of a way round this?

    Do you have the first slide set to play automatically? I am just trying out keynote myself for creating a swf of just a few images fading in and out etc. After I discovered that transitions between slides didn't work I added all the images to one slide and used builds to orchestrate them. I had a problem with the whole thing looping over and over because the first (and only) slide is set to play automatically. I have now added a blank slide to the end with no transition and that seems to stop it.
    Hope that helps.

  • Macbook pro endless startup loop

    This is weird.
    My Mac book Pro will not startup but goes into an endless startup loop, shutting down and trying to start over and over.
    I cannot archive and install from 10.5 disc.
    But when I insert the 10.4 disc and restart twice my regular 10.5 comes up and acts ok.
    Anyone with a clue?

    this is the kind of problem I've been having with a 4 day old MB 2.2, 13", 10.5.2. I really don't want to have to buy disk Warrior, though a great product and have several versions over the years (has saved my butt more then once). I am thinking the problem is somewhere between parental controls (which I have on since this is my daughters computer and is the startup account) and maybe spot light doing its initial indexing but never quit getting finished before computer is shut down.
    I have reinstalled from disk that came with computer 10.5.1 and done all current updates to 10.5.2, 4 times now at a cost of about 4hrs per install. Can not install and archive, get an error message. Applecare could not help - tried resetting pram and tried reinstalling system. Can't boot into minimal system startup. Disk is o.k. per disk utility.
    I've seen many posts regarding parental control problems and some regarding endless start up but not both together. Anyone have thoughts of other things to try? Anyone think the two might be related? Computer will be going back in next 24-48hrs if problem isn't resolved
