TS1389 Repeated request to authorize computer in itunes

The suggested solutions in the article did not work in my case. Does anybody have another solution?

Use that account's Apple ID and password; the procedure is otherwise the same as authorizing it for the first account. If the iTunes library contains protected content from more than five iTunes Store accounts, you may not be able to fully sync it.

  • TS1389 Repeated Requests For Authorization

    My brother and I share a computer, but have separate iTunes accounts. Several songs purchased on his account - Marshall Tucker Band, Heard it in a Love Song (not the only song, just the latest example) - will not play on the computer, no matter which account we are signed into. It says that this computer is not authorized to play this song, and prompts me to enter a password. I do so, and it then says this computer is already authorized. But when I try to play the song, it again tells me the computer is not authorized. I have read all the previous troubleshooting links pointed out by moderators, and NONE of the troubleshooting tips worked for us. I am the admin of this computer, and I already deauthorized all computers and reauthorized this one for both me and my brother's account. PLEASE do not just point out the troubleshooting tips found at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US as these have all been tried and none of them solved the issue.
    Thank you for your time in this matter.

    I have this problem as well. Upgraded to new Mac and now I can't sync anything. I've authorized the computer for each device under each Apple ID and I still can't sync. I've done everything suggested in the "
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases" and even tried the "
    iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization". Nothing is working! I don't want to have to repurchase everything. Someone please find a solution!

  • TS1389 iTunes is repeatedly asking to authorize computer for one song on an album

    I purchased an album on iTunes and one song on the album repeatedly asks me to authorize this computer but every other song on the album plays.  What is wrong with iTunes?  I enter my apple ID and password and it tells me the computer is already authorized.  But when I try to play the song, it asks again to authorize computer.  Over and over and over.  Something is wrong with iTunes.

    You might also try deleting the track, then re-downloading it, which should be free.

    I downloaded album but one song will not play, repeatedly prompts to authorize computer. I did all four suggestions on help site for itunes, Nothing works. I have read several posts, but many have problems with old purchases and new computers. This is a purchase I made today. I have tried deleting the SC file, and made all changes suggested by iTunes web site and other suggestions. Anybody have any suggestions I may have missed? 

    Your latest purchase could be corrupt...
    Try this...
    If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music...
    Delete the Song(s) and re-download...

  • TS1389 iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases   How to fix?  Have removed sc info folder and adjusted user account controls per instructions

    My ITunes sore account repeatedly prompts to authorize computer.  I have deauthorized and reauthorized computer.  I only have one computer authorized.   I have changed the user account controls per instructions.  I have removed the SC Info folder per instructions for Windows 7 and nothing works.   Everything was working fine a few days ago.

    I have now checked my purchaes and when I check the video info by going to File/Get Info, I notice that some of the most recent purchases do not list my apple id whereas previous purchaes do.
    How do I correct this?

    Hello Kuldip13,
    It sounds like iTunes keeps asking you to authorize the computer. If you have already tried all the steps within the article you came from:
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    I would next check to see if the same Apple ID is signed into, that was used to play these purchases with this article:
    Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1920
    Open iTunes
    Highlight one of the items you have purchased (You can find your purchases in your Purchases playlist).
    Choose File > Get Info.
    Click the Summary tab.
    The Account Name area will list the account used to purchase the item. Unless you have changed accounts, this is your iTunes Store account name.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • Repeated Prompts to Authorize Computer

    Before someone suggests it I already tried this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    It didn't resolve my issues.  It just repeats the prompts to authorize and when I try it says my computer is already authorized.  It won't even play in my iPad (3rd Gen).  This just started all of the sudden today and I have not made any changes to my PC (Windows 7) or iPad.  I even tried deauthorizing and re-authorizing with no success.  Any ideas?
    I did open a case with Apple but who knows when they will get back to me.

    Hello dlethree
    To clarify, have you tried to remove the SC info folder and then authorize your Apple ID again within iTunes?

  • Authorize computer for iTunes

    I recently had my logic board replaced in my MacBook Pro.
    I'm wondering if that has anything to do with why I'm having issues with iTunes. I just dl-ed an app for my iPhone and it keeps asking me to authorize my computer. I click on "Authorize", input my apple ID and pswd and then it tells me that my computer is already authorized... but then it alerts me that my computer needs to authorized.
    This just loops around and around and I can't sync up my apps to my iPhone.
    Any ideas?

  • Hi,  iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases.

    Hi,
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorizecomputer to play iTunes Store purchases.
    I have the latest iTunes on a PC (WindowsVista).
    I try to play a song from iTunes andit tells me I'm not authorized and prompts me for my password. This authorizesthe computer but when I try to play the same (or any previously purchased) songI still get the same error and re-prompt for password.
    I have tried thefollowing:
    1. Authorize mypurchases from an administrator account.
    2. Authorize usingthe correct account name.
    3. Turn Off UserAccount Controls.
    4. Remove the SCInfo folder.
    And this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    5. Installed the new iTunes
    6. I have double-checked that themusic was purchased by me by right clicking and hitting Info.
    7. I havede-authorized this PC and re-authorized (which it confirms) it to the same effect.
    The number ofPC's authorized is only 1, this one.
    I do not know what else to try?
    Any help would be appreciated!

  • Repeated requests for authorization after migration to 10.6

    Recently migrated from my old eMac to a new Mini running OS10.6.
    Itunes repeatedly asks for authorization on certain songs - those bought with an old AOL ID back in the day. I enter the ID and PW, then itunes tells me this ID has been changed to an Apple ID. I enter the Apple ID and PW and itunes tells me the computer is authorized. But the old songs still wont play - just repeats the problem over and over again.
    I've deauthorized all the IDs' and reauthorized - no luck.
    I've deleted the SC folder and reauthorized - no luck.
    Thanks for any ideas!

    I did contact support and got the same advice. However - I found the answer!
    When I would attempt to authorize by using my old AOL ID i would get an answer telling me that Apple had created an Apple ID for this old account and asking me to log in using this converted Apple ID account. I would do so, but would leave off the "@aol" ending in the Apple ID field (thinking that it wasn't neccessary since I wasn't logging into AOL). Turns out this is the key - the ID needs to have the complete ending.
    Once I authorized using an Apple ID of "[email protected]" with the correct password everything worked.
    Whew! Three days of screwing around on that one.
    Thanks for everyones suggestions!

  • Itunes repeatedly requests to authorize on one song

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    I have been having some trouble playing one or two songs in my library that I previously purchased from iTunes.  I have followed each of the different troubleshooting solutions in the above article.  The only one I was not able to do effectively was the "authorize using the correct account name" section.  I could not find a field in my summary info that showed an account name.
    Here's a bit more information...  I have changed the email address I use for my Apple ID, so I thought that might be the issue.  However, if I try to log in to iTunes using my former email address, it is not recognized.  I have also checked my purchase history in the iTunes store, and the song in question shows.  When I click on it, I get the same pop-up asking me to authorize the computer to play the song.  Then when I do, I get a message that says it's already authorized.  I'm going around and around in a loop.
    Just when I was at the height of frustration, I tried to contact Apple support for iTunes through the contact us link.  When I try to select my topic, I get a message that says it can't be processed and to try again - that happens no matter which iTunes topic I try to select.
    Can anyone offer any other thoughts on getting these songs authorized?
    Thank you!

    Now I'm embarrassed...  I deleted it and redownloaded the song, and it plays.
