TS3694 sync failed do to unauthorized purchases on this computer

I Keep getting a failed  sync message. It says I have unautorized purchases on this computer, to authorize go to the pull down menu and select authorize. When I do that it says I have including this one 2 computers authorized. When I try to re-sync it it fails again. I dont know what the unauthorized purchases could be or Id just delete them just to be able to move on! Ugh! Any suggustions or help would be great. Thank you!

I had the exact same problem. I used the Terminal command like above:
sudo mv /users/edylee/.jbapps-edylee ~/Desktop/jbapps-edylee
And I was able to open the application Jawbone Updater. However, now I get an error message of:
"Failed to inspect the lock file 'Users/edylee/.jbapps-edylee' (error 2: No such file or directory)"
I realize that I moved the lockfile to the Desktop, which is why the file is missing. But what can I do to make this error messgage go away? At least I'm able to open the applicaiton, but this error box is kinda annoying.
Unfortunately Jawbone isn't much help. I've tried the idea where you go to System Preferences>Users and Groups and delete the Login Items which use Jawbone, but I still get this message.
Is there a way I can put a version of the lockfile in my folder (possibly uncorrupted) that will make this go away? I've tried re-installing the software, and that doesn't seem to work. Neither does restarting.
Hmmm... Any thoughts?

  • You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days

    I have a mac which my fiancee and I share. There are 2 separate accounts and 2 separate apple ids used to buy different music (i.e. we have 2 separate iphones and music collections).
    I received the following error (see uploaded image) which states that, "you can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days".
    Now, when I sync my iTunes and iPhone only some music that I have previously purchases is affected. For some reason they failed to sync with my iPhone and become unavailable in my iTunes ("file cannot be found"). When I deleted the record I saw that it became available for download in iTunes and then discovered this issue.
    I have legally purchased the music and just want to be able to sync the files legitimately. It just seems very restrictive to say that you have to have 2 different machines for every account (i.e. you cannot have multiple users on a device with their own accounts which each have their own Apple IDs).

    Hi
    No - that is the issue - both my husband and I use the same computer and want to be able to use our individual Apple IDs so can access our download content e.g. I-books that we have purchased through our other MAC devices such as I-Pad.  In the past, we had four people using one computer with no problem regarding Apple ID.   In the newer operating system, we are now restricted to one at a time - it means one of us is blocked out from accessing our content for a period of 90 days.   Have you any suggestions on how we can both use our individual Apple IDs with the same lap-top?  We have set up discrete accounts so we log on to the computer individually.  Many thanks for any help.

  • You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 90 days.

    So i signed into my other itunes account to download some purchase i had made on that account, went to sign back into my new account and download purchases i had made on my iphone adn it tells me "You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 90 days.". This is a shared family computer with multiple Apple IDs being used on it. Not cool apple. This needs to be figured out. Not acceptable for families that have more than one apple ID to have to wait 3 months to download old purchases. Get real. Any way i can 'override' this?

  • How can i download purchases when 'this computer is already associated with an apple iD'

    This has happened many times when using iTunes.
    My iTunes is authorised with this computer, and i can make purchases off the iMac I'm using and
    have the music be in my iTunes library.
    BUT, I also have an iPad, and I've downloaded a few songs off iTunes on my iPad, and I'm having trouble
    re-downloading them to my Mac.
    I went into my user>purchases>download all
    but it came up with a notice saying:
    'This computer is already associated with an apple ID,
    You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days.
    You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 64 days.'
    Please help? Ive seen this notice before, and I think i just hit 'Okay' but I can't download my songs to my mac now.
    Thanks a lot xx

    To move the purchases to your computer, click here and follow the instructions. If desired, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff if they'll waive the waiting period.

  • Can't play my library: "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID...you can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days.  You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 88 days." Got a fix?

    Since my daughter burned a CD from my computer using our shared libraries I cannot play my library.  This pops up:  "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID.  You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 88 days."  I can get as far as viewing my library but listening is denied by this pop-up.  Can anyone help, please?   I just noticed my (this) computer is not showing as registered to my account. Hmmm....a clue perhaps?

    Do you have a question?

  • Automatic Downloads and Strange Error Message: "You can auto-download purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days"

    Hi gang-
    Yesterday I noticed that iTunes on my iMac had not auto-downloaded several new songs that I had recently purchased on my iPhone.    In iTunes Preferences, under Store -> Automatic Downloads, I always have Music selected so all songs purchased from any device using my Apple ID normally download automatically.
    To troubleshoot this, I double-checked my Preferences and sure enough, Music was de-selected under Automatic Downloads.   I then Selected it and clicked OK.   Here's where it gets weird and I get this error message:
    This computer is already associated with an Apple ID.  You can auto-download purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 84 days.
    I read and re-read this message and none of it seems to apply to me.   I have only one Apple ID.   I am currently logged in with iTunes to that one Apple ID.   All my iTunes Music ever has been purchased with that one Apple ID.   I am not trying to associate this computer or any other with a different Apple ID.
    I logged iTunes out and then back in again and tried all the above- but same error message.
    So, as it is now, I am unable to turn on Automatic Downloads in iTunes.   
    Anyone know what the heck is going on?
    Thanks!
    Dave

    Hey gang-
    Okay, this gets more and more bizarre.   I sent a support email to Apple and basically they said  "...it seems that someone else associated your Mac with their Apple ID. That's the reason your purchases won't download."
    Yikes!   My wife and I live alone- and we have exactly one and only one Apple ID.    Would somebody have needed physical access to my iMac to do that?
    Support then said "You can view which devices or computers are currently associated, remove unused devices or computers, and see how long before they can be associated with a different Apple ID from the Account Information page in iTunes on your computer."
    Okay- so I logged into My Account in iTunes.   On the list of associated devices, my own iMac is NOT on that list.   But I am logged in under the same Apple ID I've had for years on that iMac.
    So my big question right now is...if my iMac (that I've owned for 5 years) has somehow been dis-associated from my Apple ID, how do I find out what Apple ID it is associated with?
    Thanks gang for trying to help me unravel a mystery.

    PS- Here's an Apple Tech article on iTunes associations, but it doesn't really go beyond what we've discussed above:

  • HT204370 Way around this message? "You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days"

    I bought a Christmas video on my Apple TV in my bedroom for my kids to watch. I tried to download it to our computer in the living room, but I got a terribly inconvenient message that says I have to wait 30 days before downloading it, because my husband downloaded something with his account-REALLY?!
    Is there a way around this?
    30 days from now, my kids won't be as interested in The Grinch who stole Christmas.
    Is the only way around this to buy it twice? Or buy through Amazon Instant Play?
    There has to be a way around this- it seems so silly- why would I buy another video through Itunes, if it's better to buy on a disc, so that I can watch it in multiple rooms?
    Message reads exactly "You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 30 days."
    Please tell me I am doing something wrong, and that it is possible for my kids to watch the video I purchsed in our bedroom and also in the living room if they prefer. Thanks!

    You can try contacting itunes store support to have it reset. It's not gauranteed though because account association through computers and devices can only be switched every 90 days.

  • HT201272 You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 88 days.

    What is going on with my apple ID. I only have one, the iMac is only associated with this ID, yet i get this message after evry thing i try to download from the store......You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 88 days.

    Hello BW1968,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
    Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days.
    Best of luck,

  • You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 71 days. Whats the deal???

    You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 71 days. Whats the deal???

    You can use multiple AppleIDs to purchase new music but you are limited as to how frequently you can change authorizations for re-downloading  past purchases.  It may well be a measure to deter piracy by stopping a group of people from going around to a friend's computer and downloading purchases on the other person's computer.  It is easy to avoid by making sure you have backup copies on drives at home so you never need to redownload anything.
