THIS COMPUTER NOT AUTHORIZED, EVERY SONG

Every Song I try to access of what I have already purchased I get the dumb message that "this computer isn't authorized, please sign in to authorize."
Well, I'm already signed in but I play the dumb game and then it says THIS COMPUTER is ALREADY authorized
If its ALREADY AUTHORIZED why do I need to do this stupid b.s. authorizing my computer.
And its one song at a time. If I need to do this with each selection I bought then its not only stupid its outrageous.
Anbody?

There is something wrong with iTunes. I have the same problem...a quick search and I am seeing a lot of postings out there....there validaation software is not working..
There is workaround out there that requires you to delete an SC folder...but it does not work.
very frustrating.

With me it transferred everything but music and videos. Also it required me to enter my email passwords again (I have several accounts setup). Every time I went to the music tab, it said it couldn't find the file with the name of my 3gs phone name. So now after it installed every app it had stored in my itunes (many I deleted off the phone), I am trying to start fresh and see if I can just add movies and music manually and be glad contacts, email accounts (sans passwords), and the other settings did carry over.
Were any of those email accounts POP email accounts?? I don't think emails that are locally stored on the iphone are saved when you backup.

ITunes won't let my new computer dl my purchased songs, says this computer not authorized any ideas on what I need to do?

computer not authorized is a message I get while tryin to DL music I purchased on itunes

If the computer's running Mac OS X, move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store, and choose Authorize this Computer.
If the computer's running Windows, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

This Computer Not Authorized

Sirs:
I have not had that many computers. Ones I have had are in my attic "Dead". I possibly had several Hard Drive in each computer. I have all the old Hard drives which I would not to start operating them again. I'm 64 almost and do not have time for the Computers as I did have nor the Patience!
It states everytime I try to Authorize my Computer that I have 3 authorized with 5 available. I still can not play my Songs, Please explain.
Thanks

Try to Deauthorize your computer and the Authorize. See if that helps.
You can also Login to your iTunes Account an Deauthorize all the computers. Open iTunes, then iTunes Store in the Sidebar/Login to Accounts/Apple ID Summary/Computer Authorizations: Deauthorize All

Downloaded song will not play, says computer not authorized. When I re-enter my information it says computer already authorized.

My computer is the authorized computer, and when I go to play a song i just purchased it says computer not authorized. It prompts me to login, I o and it still dont work. I am only having trouble with one song from the album.

I fixed the same issue here with a short walk through!
I had this problem before with a track from Kendrick Lamar's album "good kid, m.A.A.d city"
Enjoy!

ITunes says computer not authorized. When I try to authorize computer it says it is already authorized but will not play song

iTunes says computer not authorized. When I try to authorize computer it says it is already authorized but will not play song. Note. Library was moved from PC to MAC. I am signed in to Itunes with the Apple ID created on the old computer which is different than the Apple ID used to set up the MAC.

I'm experiencing the same thing under iTunes 11.1.1:
iTunes says the computer is not authorized, prompts me to authorize
I enter my credentials, iTunes says computer is already authorized
When I attempt to play song, iTunes starts at bullet point 1 above over again.
My attempted fixes:
I tried everything in this support document, to no avail: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389 (Note: I cannot find a SC Info folder on my Mac)
Deauthorize and then reauthorize computer
Delete song and try to redownload from iTunes store - there's only a button that says 'purchased' with no option to redownload it
Note: I am using only one iTunes account, and I double checked the song info - I'm authorizing the correct account - 12 songs from the same album purchased at the same time play fine. As does the song in question - from the finder. Only iTunes stubbornly refuses to play it.
The most odd thing is that iTunes music is DRM free - the song in question was purchased only a few months ago. Thus there's no need to authorize the computer to play it.
I was hoping that iTunes 11.1.1 would cure it - no dice.

I downloaded an album but some of the songs won't play - says my computer isn't authorized to play the song. I checked the authorization, and this computer is authorized. How do I fix this?

If just some of the tracks on the album are doing that, that suggests those tracks 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.

Why do apps not sync -- it says computer not authorized. I tried unauthorizing my computer and then reauthorizing and I tried deleting the sc file. It still says the app is not authorized on this computer.

Did you download the app via that same iTunes account id ? Have you tried re-downloading it directly on your iPad (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519) ?

I downloaded a rental movie, and now it won't play. I get an error message that says "We could not complete your iTunes store request. An unknown error occured. (-42110)" This computer is authorized, and I am online and I've downloaded rentals b4. Help?!?

Perhaps try the "Error 3001," "-42110," or "5103" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

I am trying to sync my music from my computer to my iphone 6 but my computer keeps bringing up an error box "computer not authorized" but it is authorized. Please help!

I am trying to sync my music from my computer to my iphone 6 but my computer keeps bringing up an error box "computer not authorized" but it is authorized. Please help!

I have a pc and am trying to get my music through my iTunes on my computer. I didn't have any trouble syncing my iphone 5S but can't get it to sync with my 6. OS 8.1.3
I open iTunes on my pc, plug in my phone, then I click on the picture of a phone on the upper left hand corner of my music library. Then I get a box of options with sync at the lower right. I have clicked "automatically sync when phone is plugged in" and have also tried to do it manually by checking specific songs and albums. Every time I hit sync the box pops up that says, "The iPhone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPhone. To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes store choose Store>Authorize This Computer."
I took those steps and a box pops up that says "this computer is already authorized."
I have my recently purchased music on my phone that came through the cloud when I restored my phone. But I want my old music from CD's that I put on my iTunes library in my computer. I had all of this music on my old phone.
Thank you so much for your time! I'm obviously not very good at this!

Try upgrading your quicktime software.

HT204406 I am using iTunes Match and want to "uncheck" songs so that I can use my shuffle and not hear every song in my itunes.

Can I "uncheck" songs in my iTunes while using iTunes Match? I want to use my shuffle and not hear every song in my itunes. I use a MacBook Pro, iphone 4S and an ipad.

I know of no way to do this.
Itunes ringtones are for iphones.

Computer not authorized

I have been desperately trying to upload purchases from laptop to iPod from iTunes. Says computer not authorized. Found help on how to do that BUT I don't have these buttons as stated....Store. Authorize. I have looked all over this iTunes page. I have a button to Deauthorize. Tried deleting one too, still no where to add anew one. What am I missing?? Also did the updating too!

If you're using iTunes 11 on Windows, press the Alt and S keys. Otherwise, click on Store at the top of the iTunes application window(Windows) or the top of the computer's screen(Mac OS X).

How do I fix issue with computer not authorized yet when authorized it indicated already authorized?

How do I fix issue with computer not authorized yet when I go to I-Tunes to authorized it indicated already authorized?

I updated to iOS 5.0.1 days ago and didn't receive that notification until just now...
This time I synced new photos I took yesterday, and it gave me the:
"iTunes Sync: 54 items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information"
Perhaps it kicks off when new items get synced.
I've decided to rent a movie yesterday. Once it gets deleted, I'm curious to see if it jumps to 55 items.

IDVD08 doesn't solve "computer not authorized" issue

Boy am I dumb - I originally posted my problem in burning an iMovie DVD which contained DRM protected music from iTunes. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1101333
I had this great idea that Apple would have solved the issue in iLife08 - so I upgraded during the week - the guys in the Apple shop did not have a clue what I was talking about but I gave it a go anyway .... but no, the problem is still there - which I would have known if I'd bothered to read these discussions.
Bottom line: iLife 08 does not solve the "computer not authorized" to play music from iTunes
Here's another good discussion thread for this major issue:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1076620
Message to Apple Team: SORT IT OUT ! You're now reminding me of Microsoft

Make an audio CD from iTunes:
In iTunes go into Preferences/Advanced/Burning. Select Disc Format: Audio CD. Then select your Playlist and click the Burn button in the lower right-hand corner.
At one time, Apple allowed you to make 7 copies of your iTunes purchased music. I don't know what it is these days, but one copy is a great backup for the day your hard drive fails...
Then insert your new audio CD and iTunes should give you import options.
