Why do I get a message that my computer is "not authorized" to play some iTune files, but when I authorize it I'm told it's already authorized????
I get a message that my new computer is not "authorized" to play certain files - music, videos,- in iTunes, but when I go to the screen to authorize it, I'm told it's already authorized.
It's corrupt. Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country.

why do I keep having the problem of authorization. I only have 3 devices authorized when I am allowed 5. I can't sync my I Phone 6 plus on I Tunes. When I try to sync I get the message that this computer is not authorized and I have to go to the store tab and authorize the computer. I do that and then get the message that this computer is already authorized. I try to sync again and get the message that this computer is not authorized and go yo the store tab. It's a never ending story. How do I fix this?

Why do I get this message: The song "title" could not be used because the oringinal file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?

Many of my songs in my iTunes Library no longer play. I get this error message: "The song xxx could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?
this usually happens when a user moves or deletes files in the finder - a sure way to upset iTunes.
did you move or delete files in the finder ?
I cannot locate the song.
if you let iTunes manage your library, all your content will be in <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music/iTunes/iTunes music (or media)/music. did you look there ? tried a spotlight search ?
if the files are really gone, and have been purchased from the iTunes store, see Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store. -

Hi, ImTiffanyA.
The most common cause for this issue would be media present that is purchased with another Apple ID. The article below will walk you through the process of verifying if that is the case or correcting the issue if not.

Just purchased a new pc with windows 8. Transferred over my itunes. With 2 different albums in my library, when I attempt to play this music I get a message saying my computer is not authorized. I then sign in to authorize the computer, itunes tells me it is indeed authorized, I attempt to play this music again and I get the same "your computer is not authorized" message again, and again....
Any help out there on this one would be appreciated. If my question is not clear enough I will attempt to help.
Thank you,

please help me with this problem? I keep on getting a message saying write access not granted, so i cant safe my files!
The drive appears in the sidebar with a tiny lock icon, and when I try to copy a file from my internal HD to the external (top level directory, or drag the items right onto the icon), the following things happen:
Open the Terminal in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and enter the following:
chflags nouchg
followed by a space; next, drag the disk into the Terminal window and press Enter. The lock should now be gone.
The fact that my account was named both as owner and group seemed odd, since in Group the access was "read only".
Recent versions of Mac OS X create a group with the same name whenever you create an account from the Setup Assistant or System Preferences. The Group permissions don't apply in this case.
I changed the Group access to "read & Write", but it's not "sticking" -- when I close teh details field and reopen it, or close the get info window and reopen, the Group access settings go back to "read only".
Did you get an error message after doing this?
Verify/Repair permissions were dimmed for this drive (I assume becuase it doesn't have MacOS X installed on it?)
That is correct. The Repair Permissions mechanism uses data from the /Library/Receipts/ folder on a disk to function, and this data is only present on disks which have Mac OS X installed.

Why do I get the message that my operating system is not supported?
My computer is running Windows 7 - 64-bit. I have the latest softwear on both my iPhone and my iPad. I have installed Edge Inspect on these devices and have the Google Chrome edge inspect extension installed. I have been able to enter my passcodes for both devices in the Chrome extension. Why do I get the message that my operating system is not supported just yet?
This is VERY interesting ... even though I got that strange message, once I linked my iPhone and my iPad to the Google extension, it worked! Whatever I display in Google Chrome automatically displays in the Edge Inspect app on the small devices. This is neat! The only problem that I can see is that Adobe needs to replace the error message with information about how to use the application.
