Unable to sync purchased songs

Recently, when I sync my ipods to my 18 month old computer, I receive a message that about half of my purchased songs cannot be synced because those songs are not authorized for this computer. All songs were purchased and downloaded only to this computer. What's going on?

In iTunes go to the Store menu and Deauthorize your computer. Play one of the songs that can't be synced in iTunes and when prompted enter your Apple ID and password. Resync your songs.

  • Unable to sync purchased songs after saving on storage device and reimaging

    itunes will not let me sync all my purchased songs to my ipod since I saved the songs on a storage device and reimaged my computer. It says that I am "not authorized to play them on this computer" What the heck happened?! I have alot of purchased songs that I can not play now!

    Choose Authorize Computer from the Store menu in iTunes and sync the iPod again.

  • 30 GB Video iPOD won't sync purchased songs from iTUNES.

    Previously, on the same computer, I have synced purchased songs from my Itunes library to my iPOD. Now, suddenly, an error message says that I'm not authorized to do so. I use my computer in two countries, the US and Taiwan, and wonder if this has anything to do with the problem. I've already restored the Ipod and reloaded all the songs. The purchased songs still appear in my library but will not sync.

    Have you tried Deauthorizing then Authorizing your computer through the Store menu in iTunes?

  • HT1349 Can't sync purchased songs listed as protected aac audio file to Blackberry Link. songs marked just aac audio file. Repurchased one song and worked O.K.. Is there an easier way than having tp re-purchase half of library?

    Can,t sync purchased songs marked Protected AAC audio file to Blackberry Link. Songs marked just AAC audio file O.K. Repurchased one song now listed as AAC audio file and now works. Any simpler way to do this with existing protected song other than re-purchase all of them?

    Add the ability to randomly select a new background from a pre selected group of photos every time the player is turned on or each day.
    I would love that feature. I can't stand useing my computer with a single wall paper anymore (I have 500 anime pics that i rotate between every 2 mins ) If you could make the vision rotate background every x minutes or every time the player is turned on, it would be totally amazeningly sweet!!!! (i might have to go out and buy one then :P)
    I just hope that creative has better firmware support with the vision than they have had with the touch.
    Once again, great review

  • Can only sync purchased songs to iPhone 5 running iOS 7

    I have an iPhone 5, on which I installed the iOS 7 GM a few days ago. Everything was fine, until this evening, when I went to play some music, and it disappeared. I noticed that most of my music would just disappear when I tried to play it: if you played an album, the Music app would flip through each track, seeming to delete it as it went by.
    I finally realized that these were only purchased (or iTunes Match-upgraded) tracks, ie tracks which contain my Apple ID.
    Match is not turned on on this iPhone, nor is music in the cloud.
    I restored the iPhone, downloading the official public release of iOS 7, and it's only syncing purchased songs. Of about 3,600 songs I have selected to sync, only about 430 are syncing.
    I see no logical reason for this to happen. There are no restrictions on, and there's no reason why the iPhone shouldn't accept non-purchased tracks. I'm scratching my head over this one. Any ideas?

    THis has happened to me. I went to the Genius Bar and they had no ideas - it could be my iMac, iTunes or the iPhone - which doesn't help
    any ideas before I get really frustrated?

  • How do I sync purchased songs to my other devices?

    I bought several songs at the iTunes Store on my computer and then only some of them synced to my iPhone and iPad. Two of them only appear in my computer. I don't know if maybe there are specific songs that can only be used in my computer but I don't know what's going on. I do not want to buy the songs again on my other devices.
    Thank you.

    Your iCloud account doesn't sync purchased music.  You sync them to your iPod with iTunes (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12313).

  • New iPod Touch, won't sync purchased songs from iTunes library on new "authorized" laptop.

    I must have missed a step.  My old windows laptop died.  Tried syncing iTunes library from old laptop to new iPod touch.  Didn't work.  Downloaded iTunes to new windows laptop.  Logged into iTunes from new laptop and Authorized new windows laptop.  Uploaded a few CDs into new laptop's iTunes library.  Old purchased songs appeared on new laptop, however only uploaded songs from CDs will sync to new iPod touch. 
    Help!

  • ITunes won't sync purchased songs to my iPod after Time Machine restore?

    The hard drive on my MacBook Pro went bad. Lucky for me, I had made backups with Time Machine. I got a new hard drive and restored everything from the backup, via a migration.
    I just went to sync and charge my iPod and it refused to sync every freaking song that I've ever bought from the iTunes Store. 77 of them. In fact, it erased them from my iPod. I'm really very unhappy about this, is there some way to fix it?

    Choose Authorize Computer from the Store menu in iTunes or play a purchased song, supply your account information, and sync the iPod.

  • Unable to copy purchased songs from iTMS to my iPods

    When I try to load songs purchased from iTMS I get the following message:
    'Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPod because your iPod software is too old. Go to the Summary tab in
    iPod preferences and click Update and get the latest iPod software update.'
    In the Version panel in the Summary tab "Your iPod is up to date" is
    displayed and the Update and Restore buttons are greyed out. I can't update
    or restore. I went to the Apple store in McLean, VA and they did a restore
    on my iPods (Nano and Shuffle).
    I can copy songs from my CD collection to my iPods but not purchased songs
    from iTMS. All of my software is up to date. I have iTunes 7.0.2 (re-
    installed several times trying to solve this problem). My iPods appear on
    the desktop and in iTunes. I have Deauthorized and Authorized my computer.
    All of my songs play on my computer with no problem.

    ditto here.
    3rd Gen IPod works fine.
    5th Gen iPod mounts on desktop and in iTunes.
    - iPod Summary shows "n/a" in the Software Version and Serial Number fields.
    - Version Summary shows "[My] iPod is up to date", but the "Restore" button is not active.
    - Attempt to sync/copy Library results in alert...
    "Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPod because your iPod software is too old. Go to the Summary tab in iPod preferences and click Update and get the latest iPod software update."
    - All but iTunes Store purchases sync/copy.
    - Have thoroughly un-installed and re-installed iTunes.
    - Have attempted various USB ports for connection.
    - Verified working status with other iTunes 7.0.2 installed macs (i.e. Software and Serial field are populated, and "Restore" button is active.
    ? I had a similar issue previously when updating to iTunes 6.x- regarding the "...software too old" alert text. Resolved this by deleting and reinstalling the iPodDriver.kext extension. Does iTunes 7 still install this driver? Checking extensions, i've only tracked down an iTunesPhoneDriver.kext.
    ? Also an "unrelated" odd note... my new 5th Gen came shipped from Apple, already formatted for Windows.

  • My Ipod is unable to sync certain songs...

    When I ran the diagnostics it showed that ITunes (latest version 11.1.3) was unable to sync with Ipod. However, I have been able to sync most of my songs. Can someone help figure out what is wrong?
    Thanks, sunflwr

  • Unable to upload purchased songs to ipod

    Just got new IPOD replacing IPOD I had years ago. I am using my same account that I had then on different computer and I am unable to upload my purchased songs to my ipod. Message states that I do have permission on this computer.
    Any thoughts to resolve.
    Thanks.

    You're welcome, azguy, no problem!
    Just for testing purposes, could you reply back on this thread one more time? I'd like to see if I get an automatic email notification from that or not, since the notifications seem to have been working on/off lately.

  • Moved i-tunes to new computer, won't sync purchased songs?

    I have recently moved my i-tunes library over to a new computer. When I go to update mt i-pod now it doesn't update any purchased music, even though these ar showing in my music library.
    Someone please help as some of my most recent and favourite albumns won't update.

    Choose Authorize Computer from the Store menu in iTunes, or play back one of the purchased songs on your computer; in either case, provide the username and password associated with your iTunes Store account. This needs to be done before any purchased music can be synced from that computer to the iPod.
