Suddenly not authorized to transfer music to my iPhone

Using same account as always, checked settings, when I sync my iPhone I get a message that some music can't be downloaded to my iPhone because I am not authorized. I just bought these songs and albums on iTunes. What's going on?

I had a similar thing happen when I tried to download a ringtone I created. You need to play the song on your computer. It will most likley ask for your account and password information. After you enter it and start playing it will probably sync.

  • Not authorized to transfer music from computer to iphone?

    I have 2 iphones. Mine is synced to my laptop and my wife's as been synced to her laptop but it identifies her phone as mine (on her laptop)-now mine was never synced on her laptop, thats the first problem. Second problem, I have an account with itunes which is accessed by my wife on her computer and also accessed by me on my laptop using the same password. When we download songs to the laptops and try to send them to the iphones by syncing to the laptops we both get a message telling us that we are not authorize to do this on each of our computers. She downloads songs to her laptop and I download songs to my laptop and then to each iphone respectively (well, at least we tried). I do not sync from her computer and she does not sync from my computer-we keep both separate. Why are we not authorized to upload to the iphone and what do I need to do to fix this. Thanx. ailimac

    Dah on me, I never tried to play the songs -just tried to upload to iphone. After reading your reply I tried playing them on the laptops and I was asked to put in a password. Problem solve everything is going to where it should. Thanks alot.

  • New Mac Not Authorized To Play Music From iTunes Store

    My new Mac is not authorized to play music purchased from the iTunes store. This was my error since I was a bit over exuberant and forgot to deauthorize my old computer before transferring the iTunes library using the setup assistant.
    I do not plan to keep my old computer and will delete the music. In order to retain all my old settings (e.g. copies still available), am I now able to repeat the transfer process using the migration assistant?
    I would like to simply deauthorize the old computer and then transfer the iTunes files a second time.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Rod

    Just go to 'Store' in the menu bar in iTunes and select 'Authorize' to authorize your new Mac with your iTunes account.
    If you have authorized 5 computers (the maximum), you can reset them all once a year from the account management section of iTunes Music Store. Access this by signing in and clicking the button labelled with your Apple ID in the top right of the iTunes Store window.
    You can transfer your entire iTunes library (ratings, playlists, date added, last played, playcount etc.) by just copying the entire iTunes folder (containing iTunes Library, iTunes Music and iTunes Music Library.xml) from your old Music folder to your new one.
    Make sure you back up all of your purchased music, it cannot be downloaded again!
    Hope that is helpful in some way!
    Tom.

  • TS2776 I recently bought iPad 3 but iTunes on my Win XP laptop is not detecting the iPad and i am not able to transfer music to it.

    I recently bought iPad 3 but iTunes on my Win XP laptop is not detecting the iPad and i am not able to transfer music to it. I tried again after downloading iTunes 10.6.1.7 and it said it's not compatible with the XP version.

    I would recommend you try downloading iTunes for Windows 10.6.1 from this website for your XP based computer:

  • IOS7 will not let me transfer music to my phone. Please help

    Hello,
    I currently have version 10.6.3 for iTunes. After downloading the new IOS7 software, my phone will not let me transfer music to it without version 11.1 of iTunes.

    Reset the phone (no data loss): press both the home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.

  • Songs not authorized for transfer

    What do I do??? New nano and I tried to initially transfer my library (only 70 songs) to it but 69 of the songs say "songs not authorized for transfer on this computer"... What do I do>????? Something with my iMac???? Good god... This is not easy sometimes...

    Hmm... I don't have a Mac computer but usually when songs aren't authorized to be transferred it is because you bought them on iTunes with a certain account and that account isn't the same one used on the new computer. All you have to do is go to the top of the iTunes screen after opening it up and go over to the 'Store' -> 'Authorize Computer'. Then a prompt should come up for you to type in the AppleID or the AOL ID that you used to buy the songs. This will let you play and use the songs on your current computer. However, only 5 computers can be authorized per ID, but a computer can also be deauthorized as well. Hope I could help!

  • Itunes is not letting me download music onto my iphone. How do I get it to work?

    I have been trying to download music onto my iphone and it does not work! It just doesn't connect. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    iTunes will only transfer music from the iPhone that were bought at Apple's iTunes store. You'll need to use a third party program such as Senuti to transfer music you got from other sources.

  • How do I transfer music off my iphone onto itunes on a new mac. I don't have the laptop I originally synced my iphone up with any more, so how can I do this without it?

    How do I transfer music off my iphone onto itunes on a new mac. I don't have the laptop I originally synced my iphone up with any more, so how can I do this without it?
    I have tried to do this through home sharing but as I don't have the old laptop it wont let me.
    Any HELP please?!?
    Would be much appreciated.

    The iphone is not a backup/storage device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
    Have you failed to do this?

  • Why I can't transfer music to my iphone 4S? I know I have to use Itunes, I could do it before but now nothing happens.. Please help

    Ever since I installed an application (a Ringtone maker) downloaded from App Store now I can't transfer music to my iphone 4S?
    I know I have to use Itunes, I could do it before but now nothing happens. Although I followed the instructions given in the Help Video for that application nothing happened, no ringtones were loaded, and all my music disappeared.
    Please help!!!
    Ivan from Chile

    Hi Ivan,
    Connect your iPhone to your computer. In iTunes, select your iPhone in the left bar. In the middle screen, go to the tab 'Music' and see if the Sync music box is checked.
    If it is checked, you can select the music you want on your iPhone in the screen below.
    If it is not checked, you can drag and drop music from your library to your iPhone.
    Do the same in the tab 'Ringtones' (not sure if there is such a tab).
    Let us know if this solved your issue.

  • How can i transfer music from my iphone to mac

    How do I transfer music from my iphone to a mac?

    The iTunes content sync is one-way: Computer to phone. For purchased iTunes content, your phone connected, iTunes running, right-click the phone in the left device pane & select: Transfer Purchases. Or, you can simply use the quick link: Purchased, in iTunes, and re-download it. For music, not purchased through iTunes, requires third-party software to extract it from your phone, like this:
