Syncing iPhone 5 and MacBook Retina

What does "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPhone “Lauren’s iPhone”. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?" mean?  When I try to sync my iPhone 5 to my MacBook, it keeps going through a loop where I get that message, enter my Apple ID information, and then it tells me that I have 2 of the 5 computers authorized.  But then that same message pops back up.  How do I authorize it?

Click here and follow the instructions.

  • IMessage sync iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro

    For some reason iMessage no longer syncs between my iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro.  How do I re-sync them?
    Thanks!

    Hey there David,
    If you are still not receiving your iMessages between all your ios devices, I recommend the following section of this article:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
    If you aren't receiving iMessages across all iOS devices
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on each iOS device and make sure that you signed in with your Apple ID. You must use the same Apple ID on each device.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By iMessage At and make sure that you selected each phone number and email address you want to use with iMessage.
    If you linked a phone number to your Apple ID with iMessage and the phone number hasn't appeared, follow these steps.
    Sign out of your Apple ID in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and Settings > FaceTime on all devices.
    If you're linking a phone number to an Apple ID, sign in to iMessage on your iPhone first. Then sign in to the rest of your device one by one with iMessage and FaceTime.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

  • Sync iPhone, iPad and Macbook Pro contacts

    Hello.
    Everytime I sync my 3 Apple devices (iPhone 4, iPad 2 and Macbook Pro), I get the same contact 3 or 4 times at my iPhone...
    By other way, I want that the iPad and Macbook Pro can have the same contacts as iPhone, because I update my contacts at iPhone everyday. So, the iPad and Macbook Pro must get the iPhone contacts and not the contrary.
    Can you help me on this, please?
    Regards
    Luis Antunes

    Well I answered my own question.  I just deactivated all the other accounts on my iPhone except iCloud, and all the duplicates disappeared.  Before I did this, I merged duplciate cards on the MacBook Pro (from the Contacts Card menu selection).  iCloud needs to be selected as the default account on all your devices, and it seems that other accounts need to be deactivated.  Be careful - deactivating an account also erases entries associated with only that account.

  • Syncing iPhone 3Gs and MacBook Pro

    I always carry around my iPhone and add things to my calender as they come up during the day. When I get home, I sync the iphone and my home computer (macbook pro). The sync doesn't send the info from my phone to the computer. Only data sent is from computer to iPhone. Am I doing something wrong? PLEASE HELP...

    I want to sync my notes between my Iphone 3GS and my Macbook Pro. Right now when I add a note in my Iphone it automatically is added in my mail account in the Macbook.
    However, if I add a note in the Macbook, it does not get added to my Iphone.
    I'd like it to go both ways. Is this possible?
    Thanks!
    This forum is really for the MacBook Pro hardware, not for iPhone issues. I think the best place to ask this question is here:

    The issue is with configuring your iPhone. I personally gave up trying to make it work.

  • How do I activate continuity calls on my macbook pro? I have an iPhone 6 and Macbook Pro Retina Mid 2014 and I live in Dubai

    I have an iPhone 6 and Macbook Pro Retina Mid 2014 and I live in Dubai, I bought my macbook from Canada and iPhone from UAE so it doesn't have FaceTime but i should be able to get calls on my mac right?

    If you set your imessage off on your phone it will only turn it off on your phone i think I don't think it effects your mac. I'm not 100% sure on this though.
    If you want to remove imessages from your mac  -  Open iMessage, go to Messages top left, and then select Preferences. Select "Accounts" and then simply "Sign out" That should do it.

  • I updated my iphone to iOS 6.1.2 and now my iphone calander and macbook calendar no longer sync (they used to). How do I get them to sync again?

    I updated my iphone to iOS 6.1.2 and now my iphone calander and macbook calendar no longer sync (they used to). How do I get them to sync again?

    Why can't you update?
    There should be nothing preventing the update from 6.1.3 or 6.1.2 or even from 5 directly to 7.
    What happens when you try to update?
    Have you tried to Update through a computer running the most up top date version of iTunes?
    Tell us a little more about what is happening and we may be able to provide more specific answers.

  • When setting up a Firefox Sync account I was never asked a secret phrase. When I try to use Firefox Home it asks for the secret phrase. What do I do? (using Firefox 3.6.10, iphone 4 and macbook OS X

    When setting up a Firefox Sync account I was never asked a secret phrase. When I try to use Firefox Home it asks for the secret phrase. What do I do? (using Firefox 3.6.10, iphone 4 and macbook OS X

    On the MacBook, open up the Preferences dialog and go to the Sync panel. Click the Manage Account button so it shows more options, then click on the My Sync Key link to show you the Sync Key.
    The sync key is the same as the secret phrase, it was renamed in recent versions of Firefox Sync.

    Syncing mail is a function on the type of mail account, & requires an IMAP or Exchange account. Not possible with a POP3 account.

    That is because that sync ability (for contacts and calendars) has been removed. Use iCloud instead.

  • How do you sync the iPhone, iPad and MacBook calendar in one calendar.

    How do you sync the iPhone, iPad and MacBook calendar in one calendar?

    Iphone 5 seems unable to sync calendars with ITunes! The genius bar set mine to sync via Icloud, but it only worked once (?). 
    Finally I fixed it like this.
    First, I merged the multiple calendars from ICal thanks to http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/how_merge_ical_calendars and I called it “only.”
    Second, I unchecked the gmail calendar (seems iCloud had a problem with it): On the Iphone, open the calendar, go to the bottom of the page, click on calendars and uncheck the gmail calendar. Click Done.
    Third, every time I want to sync, I go to the Iphone  Settings, iCloud, and uncheck calendars. I respond “keep on my Iphone”. Then, check calendars on again, click merge, and.… voila!

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

    I really don't appreciate the fact that no one from Apple seems to be dealing with the many, many threads that have started on this topic since iOS 7 came out. In any event, I seem to have solved my problem with a full software restoration -- that is, iOS software restoration.
    I clicked on "Restore iPhone..." which does a complete reinstall of the iOS but also all apps, photos, songs, etc. Took about 45 minutes, but seems to have worked.
    I had previously tried reverting to a backup of my iPhone, but that did not solve the problem. Only a full restore solved it.
