Some of my songs on iTunes on my computer won't play. It asks for my Apple ID which I enter to authorize the computer, then it tells me it's already authorized but still won't play. Ideas?

Thank you. This was working for a minute, now when I go to the store it says that iTunes has stopped working and shuts down. I tried reinstalling it, but it still having the same issue. Any ideas?

I purchased a song on itunes and when I play it, it says my computer is not authorized. A window pops to authorize my computer so I type in my account info and hit authorize. After that a window pops up saying it is already authorize but still won't play.

I purchased a song on itunes and when I play it, it says my computer is not authorized. A window pops to authorize my computer so I type in my account info and hit authorize. After that a window pops up saying it is already authorized but still won't play. None of this happens with any other songs on my itunes. I would just purchase the song again but I can't because every time I try to purchase it, the song says "play" next to it instead of "buy." When I hit play no music plays it just goes back to saying my computer is not authorized so I authorize it and it says it is already authorized then I click it again and it says my computer is not authorized. It's a never ending annoying circle. How can I get the song to play?

If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music...
Delete the Song(s) and re-download...

If a small number of your iTunes purchases are affected, delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country. If you get that message for every item, click here and follow the instructions.

This computer is not authorized to play Song name

Hi
A couple of weeks ago I tried bying a ringtone from my iPhone and it worked fine. But after syncing with my Mac Mini iTunes i get the error message
This computer is not authorized to play <Song name>. Would you like to authorize it?
I've tried de-authorizing and authorizing, also restarting the computer. But nothing helps. The same error just pops up every time I try to play it. I'm using the same apple-id on both my iPhone and my Mac Mini.
Please help me out

Itunes wont sync error message this computer is not authorized

itunes will not sync my purchased songs to my new ipod touch, i get an error message that says, "some of the songs purchased cannot be transferred, this computer is not authorized, go to store, then authorize this computer." I have done this over and over again, I have even deauthorized and then RE authorized again and again, I still get the same message. Can someone please please please HELP ME?

I have been renting movies on my MBP and a previous MBP for years, and have always been able to transfer the rentals to an iPhone. I always rent on the MBP and not the iPhone. However due to a NEW authorisation problem recently I have not been able to play these movies through the Apple TV (V2) like I have been doing. Others on the Internet have also started having this problem. I have to resort to airplaying the movie from the MBP over to the Apple TV, which is a royal pain. What's the point of having all this gear in the family room when I have to get up and go to the office and start the movie playing from there?! Anyway, also recently I have not been able to move rented movies to the iPhone. I have tried recursively chmodding the Shared folder as described here
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1277
and it didn't help.
So now, if we go on a long road trip or flight, we can't bring the rented movies on an iPhone/iPad. This is a big problem. No I am not going to bring the laptop on the trip. The iTunes library is on an external disk on the LAN anyway.
Re the country comments, I'm in Canada.

Why am I still getting this message after logging in - This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the iPhone "Myron Liptzin's iPhone". Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?

This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPhone. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?

My itunes on my iMac for the passed few weeks now keeps on comming with the message "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPhone. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?"
or "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPad. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?"
This while everything was working fine.
Please advise what I can do with this message.
When I press autorize, it comes up with a unknow appleID. When I use apple ID's that work - it comes with the message that the computer is autorized. but then the autorization message comes back.

You can't change the Apple ID that the Authorize dialog comes up with by default. It's showing you that Apple ID for a reason: it means that the items you want to play were purchased using that Apple ID and therefore you need to authorize your computer with that Apple ID. Changing the Apple ID given completely defeats the entire purpose.
If you don't know the password to the given Apple ID, then you will no longer be able to play those items.

This computer is not authorized to play "insertnamehere.m4v"

I purchased an HD show last night through the iTunes store last night. I've been trying to play it this morning, but when I do, I get the error message above advising me that the computer isn't authorized. The only problem is that I have authorized.
I clicked through on the message and it advises me that it is waiting to authorize the computer and that a pop-up requesting my ID and password will appear. Nothing shows up but an error message saying "Could not contact iTunes" and that I should have iTunes 4.0 or higher. I've got the latest version if that helps.
I've tried deauthorizing the mac and reauthorizing it, but still no luck.
I tried to report the issue on the show, but the drop down only provides one option and that is "Choose One", so when I click to report it, I am advised to choose an option from the drop down.
Anyone else had a similar issue?
Cheers.

I have the same problem, only with all my previously purchased music. My old computer disk image was moved to my new computer. Now I cannot play any of my purchased music. I am presented with the "This computer is not authorized" message. I authorize the computer, "success." I try to play the song and am presented with the "This computer is not authorized" message. I authorize the computer and am presented with the "This computer is already authorized" message. sigh
Over and over again, loop, loop, loop...

I'm getting this error message "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPod '___'s iPod.' Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?" I have authorized the computer.

Are the songs authorised to the same account?
Often people change their e-mail address over time, and also decide to set up new iTunes account names using that e-mail. You can (and should) continue to use an old e-mail address as your account name. Then you don't run into the issue of having different songs authorised to different accounts.
To check the authorised account for the song, click "Get info" on the song name in iTunes. It will show the account name in the Summary panel.
If you have set up multiple accounts, log into each one, and burn the songs to CD as audio tracks (i.e. like a normal CD, not a data CD). You can then re-import the files into iTunes without the authorisation embedded into the song.
