Warning: PC is not authorized for apps

Every time I want to sync my new iPhone 6, iTunes says that this computer is not authorized for the apps on my iPhone. But when I authorize my PC, it says it has been already authorized. What can I do? Thx for Help

Hi SebWirth_Ger,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds as though you may have applications or other downloaded content from more than one Apple ID on your iPhone. If this is the case, make sure you authorize iTunes for all of the Apple IDs associated with content on your iPhone. 
Authorize your computer in iTunes - Apple Support
Have a great day,

  • Why does it say my computer is not authorized for apps installed my iPhone?

    Why does this happen occasionally?
    I just got home and sat down at my computer to work and plugged in my iPhone to charge and I got this nonsense message (and this has happened a few times in the past)
    So I clicked on authorize and entered my apple ID. Then it gives me this message that makes me say "Duh!" (I've had this phone for over a year, plugging it into my computer every day, including earlier today just fine)
    But the worst thing is that after I click OK on that message, it gives me the first message again!  I'm forced to click on Don't Authorize or go around in an endless circle.
    Please tell me what's going on . . . ?

    I'm using OS X version 10.10.1
    In my phone settings it says Version 8.1.2
    Maybe there's some confusion because when I bought this iMac in 2011 the only other Apple device we already owned was my daughter's iPod, and we have plugged it in to this machine. But definitely by the time I got my iPhone in November 2013 I created my own Apple ID. There was great confusion at that time because of having two Apple IDs and I'm still confused.
    But right now I have a worse problem so I'll be moving to my other thread (in which I wondered whether it's possible to revert to an older OS).

  • I'm getting an error message: The app "Pages" was not installed on the iPhone "Mom's iPhone" because you are not authorized for it on this computer

    Everytime I sync my iPhone it gives me the warning:  The app "Pages" was not installed on the iPhone "Mom's iPhone" because you are not authorized for it on this computer.
    Pages was installed when I initially purchased it for my iPhone, but when I got the 4S recently I got the above message.  I tried deauthorizing and then reauthorizing, but it didn't help.  The Install/Will Install option is there, but gets me the same message.  (And I did hit the Apply button)

    Agh! I figured out I had two apple id's and was able to install Pages from that account.  Dumb! :/

  • My iPhone wont let me download some apps that i have payed for on on my account; it says my iPhone is not authorized for this computer, but it is.

    No, iTunes never says an iPhone is not authorized.
    This is occurring on a computer, correct?
    Is the computer authorized for the account the media or apps were acquired with?

    Hello Bobbie,
    Have you authorized your iTunes library yet to play and sync your iTunes purchases? To do this, head to the Store drop down menu and choose Authorize This Computer.  Then enter in your iTunes store account credentials and then try resyncing your iPod.

  • ITunes won't sync new apps, I'm not authorized for them on this computer??

    Hello,
    Everything with the update went well, bought/downloaded applications from iTunes, hit sync & got the message that I'm not authorized for them on this computer. I have to be, don't I? I remember when activating the phone that it did that... I think. Please help, I want to use my new apps.
    BTW, I've tried resetting the iPhone by holding down the power & home buttons for 6 seconds & I've restarted my G5.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Just solved it. Double clicked on one of the new applications from within iTunes, it asked for my password to authorize this computer, clicked sync & it's syncing now.
    Hope this helps others that might have had the same problem.

  • Not authorized for this computer

    I just got a new laptop and downloaded iTunes.Then I downloaded Alice In Wonderland from iTunes using a digital copy disc I bought with the DVD. Every time I try to put it on my iPod it tells me it was "not copied to my iPod because it was not authorized for it on this computer." I am not computer savvy so I haven't figured out how to get it authorized. Does anyone know how I can?

    Salut!
    I have seen similar messages pretty much all the time. The only thing that helps is activating the computer before starting to sync the iphone.
    The really annoying thing is, if I don't do that, iTunes will randomly decide that some apps are not authorized and will happily uninstall them.
    I wonder what's going on there
    cheers

  • ITunes will not copy certain songs to my iPhone - I'm "not authorized for it on this computer"

    Hi.  I get an error when I try to transfer certain songs from my computer to my iPhone.  I get the following error, "(song name) was not copied to iPhone "____" because you are not authorized for it on this computer." For the particular songs for which this error comes up, I purchased them many years ago.  I had them on my PC and transferred them to my iPhone just fine.  I recently got rid of the PC and bought a Mac Mini (yay!) and copied my files over to the new computer. Then, I connected my iPhone to the Mini and synced it.  Then, I noticed that there were some songs on my phone that I didn't want on it so I unchecked them in the Library on the Mini and chose the "sync only checked songs" option and synced again.  Nothing changed.  So, then I did an Autofill thinking that would make the selected songs on my Mini and matched the songs I wanted on my iPhone.  That's when I noticed the songs missing on my iPhone (songs that I had selected on my Mini and wanted on the iPhone).  I've never really been able to figure out how to work iTunes so I'm sure I've done something wrong.  I can't decifer the error message so your help would be greatly appreciated.  (I've authorized the Mini.)
    Any ideas what the problem might be?  Thanks in advance.

    Hi there!
    I've a very similar & the same problem but for me this has been happening ever since iTunes 7.1.5, so not exclusively since 7.2 was launched
    In addition to the same problem you're having, iTunes will not sync any of my converted DVD movies and several video podcasts giving me the same error message you mentioned. If it try to play these video's out side of iTunes with QuickTime, I get 'Error -36: An I/O Error' warning and thats it, but I can play with any other media player including the dreaded Windows Media Player! If I copy these files on to a separate HHD, Flash Stick or on to another PC (i.e. so they’re played from not in the iTunes folder in my documents) they all work fine and oddly also with QuickTime, so I'm happy the files are not corrupt. I'm afraid to attempt to play any remaining video's that I managed to sync sometime before this problem in iTunes because when I do, its then that I can never use it again and it gets removed from my iPod!
    I can't find anything on this problem anywhere, and I don't know where to go to get help from Apple not that I’m sure they’d be too helpful?
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Regards

  • Computer is no longer authorized for apps installed on your iPhone

    Does anyone else get a message that your computer is no longer authorized for apps installed on your iPhone?  When I click "authorize" I get a message that "This computer is already authorized".  But when I click ok, I get the first message again . . .

    No. You must purchase them under your Apple ID. Anything purchased under someone else's Apple ID will present this same issue. You cannot share items in this way.
    Give the above see the following:
    Sharing Stuff From Different iTunes Accounts (or Computers)
    Here's how to do so using different computers:
    Transfer what content you want to the separate iTunes library on each computer. To transfer content from your library to another library do the following. We'll assume this is between husband and wife separate accounts and different Apple IDs.
    Launch iTunes under your wife's login;
    Sign her out of iTunes, then you sign in;
    Select iTunes -> Preferences -> Devices -> Disable auto-sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected;
    Connect your phone, DO NOT SYNC;
    Select Store -> Authorize this Computer (only have to do this once);
    Select File -> Transfer Purchases (all of the purchased content on your phone will be transferred to your wife's library);
    When complete eject your phone, sign out of iTunes, sign your wife back in.
    You can now sync whatever content you want to your wife's phone. Just remember all updates to apps obtained using your account must be done while signed in using your account: sign wife out, you sign in, update apps, you sign out, sign wife in, sync her phone.
    This way you can share content (permitted under the EUSLA) and still maintain your separate logins. Do the same on your computer if you want to share content from your wife's library.
    Just load whatever content you want to share on each others phones, transfer the content, then delete it from the respective phone if you don't want to keep it there.

    Log out of the iTunes Store on your device:
    Settings>iTunes & App Store...tap your Apple ID, then select "Sign Out"
    Reset your device:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
    After the device has restarted, sign back in to the App Store as above.

  • Every movie purchase through iTunes fails to transfer to my iPhone or iPad and the message I get is this: some of the items in the itunes library, including were not copied to the ipad because you are not authorized for them on this computer... help?

    For a couple months now, every movie purchase through iTunes fails to transfer to my iPhone or iPad giving me the error: "some of the items in the iTunes library, including were not copied to the iPad because you are not authorized for them on this computer". I have read many forums about deleting, reinstalling, de-authorizing and authorizing my iMac through the iTunes store. Many suggestions don't work except to rename the movie to *.MP4 in Finder under the iTunes movie directory. I imagine this is a setting or a bug somewhere... any suggestions on how to bypass having to rename the files in Finder? My research into Google suggests this problem dates back to 2007 or so but it is now more prevalent than ever.
    Thanks.

    This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
    So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?

    I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
    Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
    No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.

  • How can I retrieve purchased tunes not authorized for my computer?

    I am told I have 79 purchased tunes from I Tunes Store that were not copied on to my computer because my computer was not authorized for those tunes. How did this happen & how can I correct the problem?

    Sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean. Did you copy tracks from one computer to another, and if so by what means?
