TS1389 What if I have done all the steps apple says, and I still can't authorize my computer to play certain purchased songs

I followed all the steps on the apple page, and just a few of the songs I just purchased cannot be authorized for some reason. It keeps prompting me, and I keep entering my password and it says this computer is already authorized. ARG!
Weirdly, when I look at the info of the songs, some list my name as "Purchased by", but the songs I can't play don't have a "Purchased By" line, but all songs show the correct "Account Name"

They were purchased by another Apple ID.
If you are not sure what other Apple IDs you may have, go to appleid.apple.com and click on the link that says "Find your Apple ID".
You are needing to authorize the Apple ID that those other songs were purchased under.

Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
iOS: How to back up
Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:

If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

I have had voice mail set up on my phone for 10 years. When I did the last iOS update before 7 I guess it wiped out my voice mail. Can I not set it up myself? I haven't changed my message in years.

Hi
So just close iTunes and re-open iTunes thats it and that worked for you?
When you say reset your settings do you mean to factory settings? As my iPod was swapped at the store for a new one and the problem is still there...
Thanks.

TS3694 I cannot restore my IPhone 3G, I have done all the steps recommended (unknown error (1015)) and nothing happens, it's frozen

I have done each and everyone of the steps (advanced and basic) recommended by Apple. Unfortunately, now i cannot even use my IPhone because it seems to not respond. I have turn it off, reset it with the home and main buttom pressed simultaneously. Restore it again and the same error ( unknown error occurred and your IPhone could not be restored). Please, let me know what should i do to at least use my cellphone again. Thanks.

Use recovery mode to restore your device
Related errors: 1015, “The required resource can't be found.”
You might see these error messages if your device has a beta version of iOS or if you're installing an older version of iOS (downgrading). Use recovery mode to restore your device to the latest version of iOS.

Firefox 4 and 5 load fine but will not start. I have done all the things it says in help including removing the firfox items in the Proceses tab but it still will not run.

I had firefox 4 which worked fine and I downloadd 5 now neither will run and I have done the things it says in help

I am having a similar problem. Running Xp.
Latest revision of firefox.
After using firefox for a while if I exit, parent.lock is locked and i have to reboot to reload firefox.
I have killed all firefox applications from task manager (usually there are none). and I have tried 3 different "file unlock" programs including unlocker to no avail.
I also recently installed a program that shows -all- open files, and parent.lock is not listed, and thus not closable/unlockable from there.

HT1311 I have done all the steps and it keeps saying my security code is invalid?

My iPad is not recognized by iTunes, it's recognized as a camera in iPhoto. I've done all the suggestions in support and it still doesn't work.... help please!

I don't know what else to do. I need to upgrade to iOS 5 so all my iPad apps run ... I've never synced before.

What was the error number? That would be very useful since the following gives actions for various errors.

Try manually placing the iPod in recovery mode to see if that will make the iPod visible in iTunes. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

TS3367 I do all the steps it says and it will not connect. Am I doing something wrong.

I am trying to set my husbands ipad up so he can FaceTime and use the messages, every time we log in it will not do anything. What are we doing wrong?

What do you mean by - it won't do anything? You cannot verify the email address? You are using his Apple ID email address for his contact at email address?

Ive tried all the steps apple suggested and my iphone still isnt showing up in itunes. It comes up as a camera not an iphone

i bought a iphone yesterday and its not showing up on itunes after doing everything apple said. i found the iphone on the pc its just that it windows XP think its a camera. please help!

Its a normal behavior that your OS find your iPhone as a camera because it is; that's the way to copy the pictures you took with your iPhone.
Do you actually open iTunes and look at the left side column in the Devices section for the sync options?

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 availabl

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.

HT4972 I have iphone 4 and have followed all the steps, the update will not go past "connect to itunes"

I have iphone 4 and have followed all the steps to update and cannot get past "connect to Itunes"

Hey soozeeC
Use iTunes to update it. Download the latest version and install it. Once it is plugged in, it will ask if you want to update your iPhone to iOS 7. If that does not work then click restore.
