I keep getting the error message "-42408" and all of my apps got deleted on my iPhone. It says that I need to authorize my computer, so I tried than and that's when the error message showed up. I'm pretty ****** and want my apps to be back on my iPhone. Please help.
What version of iTunes are you using? The error you references seems to be connected with iTunes 9.0.4. That version of iTunes is not compatible with iOS 6. You need to update to the current version of iTunes.

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

Hi RaychelM,
If you are repeatedly prompted to authorize your computer, even after you have already done so, you may find the following article helpful:

When I try to transfer over songs from my iPad to my computer it says that i need to authorize my computer, but my computer is already authorzie. It also says that some of my purchased items are not authorized for them on my computer. How do i authorize these items?
Hi slt2014,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would try authorizing your computer again, even if it seems like it is authorized, by following these instructions:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
If this does not resolve the issue, you can also try downloading your purchases directly on your computer by following this:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

new to windows 8 im getting a message that says i need to authorize this computer how do i do this using my ipod
You wouldn't be able to authorize your computer using your iPod, but Apple does have an article that can get iTunes to shut up about authroization (especially when it's already authorized, but iTunes gets confused for some reason).

Could someone please help? I can play some dowloaded films through Apple TV but my 2 recent purchases won't play. It says I need to authorise my computer (whcih I have already). Has anyone had similar issues?
in remote app click on the
lower left corner on the text
top of the context menu click devices
choose the appletv rather then your shared lib in the list
if you are trying to view a movie that is located on your ipad on your tv using the appletv then
you should use airplay mirror not the remote app -
I recently had a new operating system installed on my two-year old windows computer. iTunes wants me to authorize my computer (again) and then says that I already have five computers authorized. Should I deauthorize all? Would that affect my iPad and iPhone? I may have old, non-functioning computers that are still authorized and should be removed.
Your past purchases are not on the computer. By choosing download all, those purchases will download to the computer.
Once authorized to your iTunes account you can control the computer.
When syncing the iPad the first time you will get the warning " this iPad is synced with another computer, syncing will erase all contents and replace with the contents of this computer"
Say yes, this is what you wan to do. -
I am trying to downloadapps onto the iPad we just purchased, and it keeps telling me that I need to authorize my computer. I go ahead and authorize by going into iTunes/store/authorize computer, I verify the information that is given. I go back and try to redownload the apps and I get the same exact message, this computer is not authorized for this device. What am I doing wrong?
I have been trying to work through this problem by myself and have so far downloaded the most current version of iTunes. Frome there when it tells me I have to authorize this computer, I had to not put in the iPad information, I had to authorize with my current iTunes information, and any iPad or iPod, iPhone information. I have several people in the family that have different accounts, so I had to authorize each and every individual account because I didnt know which apps or music was purchased under which user. Hope this helps others.... Good luck!!

I am trying to backup my apps and I've already authorized my computer, but it's giving me the error that I need to authorize my computer even though I already have.
I am having a similiar problem. I did not ever have the problem with Lion and my 4gen iPad.
I allowed the Mavericks update just about the same time that AppleCare put a new Motherboard in this computer, so I don't know if either of those has anything to do with this or not? (4 year old MBP 17 dual i7)
But now when I reboot my MBP, it tells me that this computer is not authorized to play, sync, etc.. with my iPod (or iPhone) and asks me for my password. With I enter it, I get a message that says "This computer is already authorized". I have 4 Apple ID's and it asks me to enter that information for every single one and then tells me that the computer is already authorized.
How can I enter this ONCE and make it stick?
Thanks,

I recieve a message that I need to review my information because I've never used my ID in the store, but nothing happens when I click 'review'. So how CAN I review the account!?

I bought song with itunes card. The song won't play on my computer or devices. The messages says I need to authorize my computer to play the song. However, when I "authorize" my computer I get message that this computer is already authorized.
and, what is even more strange...
I actually bought 2 Billy Joel songs NY State of Mind from Essential Billly Joel and Italian Restaurant from Greatist Hits vol 1. Neither song would play.
I went back the Apple store and tried to re-download NYSOM. It let me do it for free. Before I checked I tried to re-dowload IR but inadvertantly selected same song but from The Stranger. I had to pay for this one. The re-downloaded NYSOM still didn't work but IR I bought from Stranger worked. So, I bought NYSOM from Greatest Hits vol 1. Didn't work!!! Tried again and bought from another album, Turnstiles, and that one worked. So, I bought 5 songs, only 2 of which will work.
So, now I ask - is there any way to get my money back? -
I downloaded 4 songs at the same time. The first and the last songs in the list play fine. If I try to play the second or third I get the message that I need to authorise this computer. I enter my id and password and it will say I've already authorised 2 out of my 5 computers (I don't know what other one I've authorised) then it will just start playing the last song out of those four.
Delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.

After upgrading to Lion, I went to open Mail and received the message that it needed to upgrade my Mail database - this may take a few minutes. The bar shows it is about 1/5 along and has been there for over 10 hours.
I tried quitting and starting again but it just jumps back to the same spot.It is quite large, but I have tried two of the fixes suggested and things now seem to be moving along.
(I was unable to seach properly before which is why I posted the question - it was a bit of a panic)
