Trust this computer keeps popping up every time I try to sync

I have a iPhone 6 iOS 8.3, Macbook Pro and iTunes 12.1.2.27 and am having an issue with sync.
In iTunes I can see my iPhone, but every time I try to sync a popup saying - Sync failed due to this computer is no longer approved for purchased apps on this iPhone?
I then approve the computer and it states that I now have 3 out of 5 approved computers. I then try to sync again but then the popup comes again?!?!
Am I missing something or is this a bug?
Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance :-)

Hi, jmansa.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are consistently receiving a prompt regarding 'Trust this computer' and an authorization alert. Here are a couple troubleshooting steps that I would start with. If the issue persists, please let me know.

"Trust This Computer" Keeps Popping Up Every Time iPhone Is Connected to MBP

Hi,
I found this question of the forum in relation to Windows computer, but not in relation to a Mac (especially, I did not find a solution).
The issue: every time I connect my iPhone (6 Plus, current iOS 8.2.) to my MBP (Mid-2012 13'', current Mac OS X 10.10.2) I am getting the "Trust This Computer" message, despite that I have trusted the computer (like twice daily, about 500 times) already. According to 'Trust This Computer' alert on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support the iPhone should only ask me once per computer.
What I have done so far:
- updated iPhone from iOS 7 to iOS 8 (and within 7 and 8)
- updated Mac OS X from Mavericks to Yosemite (and within 7 and 8).
- replaced the cable twice (both Apple, from Apple Store, Australia)
- reinstalled Yosemite (for other reasons)
- repaired file permissions on Yosemite (got this from this forum)
- tried different USB ports
Nada, still asking me. In addition to the annoyance, it is the also apparently not syncing with iTunes.
Do I have options left to make the issue go away?
Thank you for your help!

This just started happening to me after I updated to 8.3.
I haven't had this problem for a very long time. Now, every time I plug into my Mac, 10.10.3, I get this message. I tap on 'trust' each time but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

There is a bug in iOS 5.1.1. You have to wait for an update (if you have a 4G). If yo have a 3G iPod there may be no further updates.

HT5868 "Trust this computer" keeps popping up

The popup "Trust this computer" pops up everytime I connect. Every time, I select "Trust". just like in the instructions here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5868?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US . But it doesn't remember, it keeps popping up
The cable I'm using is an Apple cable, on a iphone 4S and IOS 7.0.2

You must have said "don't trust" once. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5868.
If you go to Preferences in iTunes, Advanced pane, and click Reset Warnings it will prompt you again to permanently trust.

IPhone with IOS "Trust this computer" keeps popping up

I have upgraded to ios 7 on my iphone, but when I now connect my phone to my car (ipod connectivity) it pops up with the "Trust this computer" box! but disappears quickly and then keeps popping up and disappearing. I don't even have time to click TRUST!!!!
After a couple of tries the car says there was an error and stops trying. What the **** is going on!
If no one knows, maybe you can tell me how to downgrade/restore to ios 7 as without this connectivity I can't listen to my music in the car?

I finally fixed it! Don't know really how but here goes what I did.
You all agreed that before IOS7, by simply plug usb cable between PC and iphone that was it?!
Updated to IOS7, liked it a little, noticed slowness, but was fairly acceptable. My problem started when I was not able to sync my outlook calendar, contacts, etc. to my phone then I freaked out, because kept having this "do you trust this computer again and again when I clicked Trust.... got me crazy.
Someone told me to use iCloud. Did, but I can check my Iphone contacts on a website! not what I was looking for. Then I downloaded ICloud for windows, so I can sync (another procedure) to my outlook. Ran it, restarted, found that my wlan card was disabled, fixed it, restarted (anxious), when back, checked some changes made in outlook, more folders and buttons, but it seemed to work.
I plugged the usb cable and iphone to my pc and Viola! they synchonized!! via usb cable!!
was it the cable? the icloud installation? the rebooting? don't really know, but it works now...
I was this close to return to IOS6 by doing all those creepy steps, but it is ok now...
Please let know if it work for you guys!!
cheers!

I keep getting the same error message that my computer is not autherised to use my itunes

I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
ls -@Oaen /U*/S*/SC\ I* | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

My "iTunes has stopped working" keeps popping up every time I try to open it up, I don't know what to do, cause I can't get to my Library

I recently reinstalled my iTunes, and it was working fine, but now everytime I try to open it up, the message "iTunes has stopped working" and it shuts down. I have uninstalled it, and reinstalled it many times. I donl't know what to do. If someone could help me that would be great, thanks!

Every time i try to sync my 4th gen ipod touch itunes won't recognise it and the ipod keeps beeping - is there anything I can do?

This is really frustrating. Every time i try to sync my 4th gen ipod touch itunes won't recognise it and the ipod keeps beeping - is there anything I can do? I've tried using different cables. Itunes works fine with my family members ipod's & iphones...

The best way to manage your music when you have multiple iPods is to change the settings under "Options" so that you manually manage your music instead of it doing an automatic synch each time you connect. To add only the songs you want, highlight them and then "click and drag" them to your iPod. This way none of your daughter's music gets added and you're not in danger of deleting your playlist as well. It will show you how many songs you've added and you can then click on your iPod to verify. To delete her songs off your iPod now, click on the music tab under your iPod so show everything you have stored. Find those songs you want to delete, click on them to highlight then go up to the Edit window and click delete. This will erase them off your iPod but be careful when you highlight. I did that and then had to reload a cd on my boyfriend's, lol. hope this helps

Click on it, choose Get Info from the File menu, and check the format.
If it's formatted as NTFS, reformat it as MS-DOS, exFAT, or Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as desired, or install software such as Paragon NTFS on the computer.
If it's formatted as FAT32 or exFAT, use the Disk Utility's Repair Disk command on it; this may also happen for a flash drive which is about to fail.
If it's formatted as Mac OS Extended, click Authenticate and provide your administrator password, or change the permissions on that specific folder in its Get Info window.

Hello there, there is a rare window that keeps popping up every time i start Logic. I'd like to send a screenshot... anyway, it's a "tempo" window with strange layout about midi effects and so,.... is it normal? How can i improve this? Thanks.

Hmm, that's some sort of MIDI Arpeggiator setup in your environment. Strange that you don't know it, this has to be custom-installed, it is not part of the standard setup.
You can do two things about it:
1.unlock your current screenset (shift-L), then close the (Bass Driver) window, then relock the screenset (shift-L). Next time you open up this project you won't see the Bass Driver, but it is still in the project.
2. You can remove the whole page: open the Environment (cmd-8), then go to the dropdown menu arrow top left of the Environment window and select the Bass Driver layer. If it is selected, dropdown again and choose Delete. Now Save your project under a different name (Save As...), so that you still keep the Bass Driver setup in the original project. If you don't need to keep it, you can simply Save.

Hi guys, a game I'm trying to play keeps unexpectedly closing every time I try to play. When I try reopening, the same thing keeps popping up so I don't really know how to fix that problem. Can you help?

Question.In my computer music library, I "unchecked" all of the tunes that my daughter put in my library but which I DON'T want on my ipod; but, every time I try to "sync" my ipod it keeps on loading more and more of her music onto my ipod. What is wrong?

New Icloud Terms and Conditions window pops up every time I try to check my email, or when I open setting. My email doesn't load because of this, so I haven't been able to check my email for months.

'New Icloud Terms and Conditions' window pops up every time I try to check my email, or when I open setting. My email doesn't load because of this, so I haven't been able to check my email for months. When I click, 'view terms' it takes me to my Icloud section in settings, but the terms don't pop up. I plugged it into my iTunes to see if it would pop up, but that didn't work either. My phone is updated, and I'm pretty sure I already accepted the new terms and conditions on the last update a few months back.

Hi munaxnight,
If you are having issues with your iPhone continuing to ask you to accept terms and conditions, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
Force an app to close in iOS
Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

I recently purchased a movie (Prometheus) on my computer through iTunes and every time I try to put it on my iPhone, it fails. How can I successfully sync this video? Mind you, every other file syncs flawlessly.

Can you connect to a wifi source on the device? Enable wifi in settings on the device itself. If you don't have wifi at home, there may be a local hotspot you can use for this.
The reason this happens is carriers don't want people downloading huge files that would slow their network as well as eat up your data plan.

"Trust this computer" keeps flashing!

I have an iPad Air. "Trust this computer" keeps flashing on the iPad when plugging it into my MAC. won't let me select it. All "fixes" I read for for iTunes on a PC. I have not seen any posts for fixing this on an iPad Air to Mac-I iTunes.
My Itunes on the mac is up to date My OS on the Ipad air is up to date.
I want/need to back up the ipad into itunes on the computer but can't get there... I'm fearful of losing everything (mostly pictures) on the iPad.
Help is appreciated.

I would download a fresh copy of iTunes from www.apple.com and install it over the copy that's on the Mac...that's how you fix itunes on the Mac...if you do that and it still does it it could be something going on with the iPad itself....I would first try a different cable...if that doesn't work I would try making a iCloud backup...I would then advised doing a restore...I wouldn't do a restore unless I made an iCloud backup because the restore will wipe the device to try and fix it
