The authorization don't "stick" to my computer.

I bought some music from iStore for the first time for some weeks ago and I haven't been able to play it on the computer from which I bought them from. It seems like the authorisation of this computer don't "stick" nomatter what I do.
This is what has happen:
I loged in to iStore, bought the music and downloaded it. All green so far. But when I then clicked on one of the new songs iTunes tells me that the computer isn't authorized (even if it already was). So I fill in the exact same user accout and password as I used when I bought the music (account name are also stated in the songs information tab, AND I have only one account). So it then tells me again that I now have authorized the computer, but nothing happens. When I then tries to push play, the same missing authorization loop procedure occour... over and over again.
The same happens for all new songs I bought... none of them works. Worthless. I couldn't even move them to my iPod because evertime it ask me about the account name and password and nothing more happend.
However, I authorized an other computer in the network and successfully moved the new songs over to that one, using the same username and password. On that computer everything worked out fine. I could even transfer the songs to my Nano from there... Isn't it strange?
BUT, the main problem remains. I can't play the music from my main computer and it ain't a small problem to me... in fact, my only intention for buying this music was to play it on my main computer which is the only one that is truly Hi-Fi connected if you know what I mean. The other computer is just a laptop with a "lowtech" soundcard.
So as I see it I haven't got what I bought yet...
On top of this I have spent the last week trying to solve the issue. Being a computers consultant as I am, I always reach for help when I finally run out of ideas myself, and this it it.
I have freneticly signed out, signed in, deauthorized, authorized, uninstalled, reinstalled iTunes, waited for this next release (7.3), payed, and finaly said words out loud I usally keep inside... Nothing seems to work!
I refuse to reinstall my computer because if this because it works like charm otherwise...
Please help.

Used Photoshop Image processor to batch convert from CR2 to Jpeg and the edits don't stick

Ok, so I had a huge wedding where the bride paid me to deliver a ton of images. Well, i did all my edits in ACR and then photoshop. While in photoshop all the edits look to have been applied. So, I use edit > Scripts>Image processor to convert the CR2 files to Jpeg in one fell Swoop. Well, on my last run though (checking any images for missed edits or what not), none of of the edits were applied to the saved jpegs. So I bring one up in Photoshop (the saved Jpeg) and the edits are applied in Photoshop. So I click save and it tries to save as a PSD file (which it was not originally saved as). I click to JPEG and it asks to replace the existing file and I do. Voila, all the edits are a-pplied. Now, I have about 200 images that I need to do this on.
Is this common with the image processor? Is it not for converting processed Raw files to JPEG and keep the edits?
I'm very frustrated since now, depending on my misunderstand of the tool, I have to spend extra time saving the files again. (At least I don't have to re-edit them)

I have action I wrote so that on large groups of pictures I hit my actions. It goes through the whole set. Then I hit my flatten and it goes through the whole set. Then I go to scripts > image processor and covert them to jpeg.
The weird thing is when I bring up the jpegs in photoshop, all the edits are there. When I look through Photo Mechanic or upload them to the web, they aren't

I have several songs that I purchased. They show in my library, but won't play on any of my devices - including my computer. I keep getting the "authorize the computer" prompt. My computer is authorized! I have done all the troubleshoots that are available. How do I get my computer and other devices to be able to play these songs? Almost all my songs play except for about 8 or 9.

If only some of the songs on an album are giving you the authorisation message, that suggests those song files are damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

HT1420 I don't have the 'Authorize this computer' button.....

So, I am trying to Authorize my new computer on itunes and I don't have the Authorize this Computer button. I have iTunes version 10.6. Can someone please help me out here?

It should be on the Store drop-wodn menu at the top of iTunes e.g.

Why don't I see the " Authorize My Computer" On the iTunes menu?

I just want to rent a movie! But iTunes says You need to Authorize your computer. So like it say's Go to the Store Menu and Click Authorize my Computer............... but it's not on there!!

Even under Lion the "authorize" menu entry does appear in exactly the same place as before - at least on my MacBook Pro -that's one of the few things that is still working
Perhaps you could just select the "Help" menu and enter "authorize" in the search field. It should you take to the "authorize"-menu if it is till available.

How do I authorize my computer? I can not find the "Authorize This Computer" option anywhere.

PLEASE READ ALL EMAIL. ANYONE THAT CAN HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. As you read through the emails, you will see that "C" the customer service person responds the same way. All the emails are from the same thread. I would reply to his email, he would, I guess, copy and paste an answer, and the response is the same. He never pays attention to the previous emails. HELP PLEASE!!!
This is very frustrating to me. If you read back through your emails, you state the SAME INFO 4 times. If you would read my email AND see thescreen shots attached you would see. Why do you continuously state the same info..(SEE RED HIGHLIGHTS BELOW).I NEED HELP ASAP TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF...Do you have any other info EXCEPT for what is listed below??????

Thank you for replying. It's C from iTunes Customer Support.
Addressing your concern is really important for me. I will do my best to answer your question.
S, if your computer is not currently authorized to play your account's purchases, when you try to play an iTunes Store purchase, the authorization dialog will appear. You will see the name of the account that purchased the item. If you've changed your account name, replace the old account name with the new name, then enter your password and click Authorize. This authorizes your computer to play the account's purchases.
If you are repeatedly asked to authorize your computer to play your purchases, you may find this article helpful:

When I try to play an iTunes store purchase, a bubble pops up and states that this computer is not authorized. It does not pop up account name or password. I have also completed everything stated in the http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389 link.

I am trying to authorize my new computer. I do not see AUTHORIZE MY COMPUTER anywhere. I see COMPUTER AUTHORIZATIONS, but not an option to authorize.

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

It is not actually in the iTunes Store, it is in the Store menu of iTunes.
To authorize, go to the Store menu item on the iTunes menu bar, and choose "Authorize This Computer..." as shown below.
If by any chance you don't see the menu bar ("File, Edit, View, Controls, Store, Help"), first enable it by using CTRL+B.

He shouldn't have done that. Now you have a pirated version of iMovie on your Mac that you will never be able to update. The MAS Terms of Use do not allow that type of sharing. His Apple ID is encoded in the copy on your Mac and you can't change that.
Legally you should delete the app.
Your Mac should have come with the iLife apps pre-installed, why did he do that?

If you no longer have, or access to, the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
Log in to iTunes, go to "view your account info" on the itunes store, deauthorise all five, (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months) and then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time.

HT1420 Where is the "Authorize this computer" option located??!!!!!

I just installed Itunes on my laptop, but before I can download my past purchases it says I must authorize this computer. I click "ok" but it doesn't take me where I need to go to authorize it. I've read other member questions with the same problem online, and it says to go to the Itunes "store menu" then "authorize this computer" but I don't have that at the top of my screen! I've looked and looked & this is driving me CRAZY!!!!! Currently I have 2 other authorized computers (desktops) that are currently disconnected at this time. I'm only using the laptop. LISTEN APPLE PEOPLE, this should NOT be this difficult. Please provide step by step instructions for stuff like this (screen shots would help as well). The only screen shot I saw was listed in a Yahoo forum & the Itunes store bar at the top didn't look like mine. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Authorization and Deauthorization
See iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization for Macs.
See How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld for Windows.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

that is odd! that should not be happening.
Are you syncing your songs right off of itunes itself? because it should be syncing over to the ipod however it is listed in itunes.

The authorization don't "stick" to my computer.
