Why do i have to keep authorizing my ipod on my computer?

So everytime that I plug in my ipod touch into the computer it is a third generation 8 gb and it always says that it is not authorized but when I authorize it the pop up says that it is not authorized. Another problem that I amhaving is when I had to restore my ipod it erases all the songs that I had purchased recently on my ipod and my photos and videos and all of my apps are deleted as well. I would hate to rebuy my songs becasue when I search my songs on itunes it can not find it also when I hit sync my apps do not get redownloaded and my songs dont either. The reason why I pluged my ipod into my computer so my brothers can download it becuase I bought it on my ipod. Thats when the pop up came and it said to authorize it so i do so and then another pop up appears and it says to authorize. its the same cylce over and over. I called apple to ask this question and they told my to come here and ask this so if someone can help thast would be great.

Hi Patrick,
I tried that last night, and unfortunately still had the same problem. I have now arranged to return the iPod in exchange for a replacement. Hopefully this was a one off! Thanks anyway.
I'd be interested to hear of any other advice in case it happens again when I receive my replacement!

  • Why do I have to keep resetting my iPod classic 80gb?

    Hi all
    I received my black iPod classic 80GB yesterday (replacing one I had stolen, which until that point I had absolutely no problems with).
    I am manually updating this iPod, so am importing albums to my MacBook iTunes and then connecting my iPod, adding the music, and ejecting then disconnecting my iPod.
    If I then leave it for between half an hour / an hour (while importing another artist), the iPod does not respond to any key touches. I have to reset it before there is any life in it. Also, when I pressed play this morning to see if it was still happening, the first thing it did was show the Apple logo (as if it had just reset itself without my toggling hold or pressing down menu and centre for 6 seconds).
    Why does this happen? Am I doing something wrong?
    Please help. This is very annoying!

  • Why do i have to keep restoring my ipod touch every 10minutes?...HELP ME!!!

    Everytime i plug in my ipod to my Windowes Vista the itunes program opens right? Then a window pops up and says "your ipod has been detected as in restore mode" so i restore it.....10minutes pass....ipod compleatlly shuts down, restarted and all i see is the apple logo then the screan turns white. So i plug it back yo the computer and itunes wants me to restore my ipod...again. So there i go and restore it again then after 10minutes the same story repeats it self. GRRRRR..... THIS FREAKIN FRUSTRATES ME!!!!!!

    Email or call the nearest Apple Store and make an appointment at the genius bar.
    If it's software they can fix it and tell you what to do in the future (take notes) if they can't fix it they'll replace it.

  • Why do I have to keep installing adobe flash on my mac

    why do I have to keep installing adobe flash on my mac?

    You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
    When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
    If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser, but check this also:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5655?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US  which also covers ‘blocked plug-in’.

  • Why do I have to keep activating hbogo on apple tv?

    Why do I have to keep activating hbogo on apple tv?
    It's constant.  Maybe three to four times a week.
    ENOUGH already.

    haha nevermind HBOgo. Since we know you are able to activate it then we know the verizon username and password is correct and that HBO recognizes it as legit. Why it keeps asking for it might be a glitch with HBOgo app or their server or it might have to do with the apple TV not saving your login info, so HBO keeps asking for it each time you go there. Kind of hard to nail down since it involves an Apple product, HBO, and Fios TV all working together. Not sure who is to blame at this point. I don't know if anyone else has had this problem with Apple TV's. Are you able to access HBO from your verizon set top box?

  • Why do I have to keep resetting home sharing to work

    Why do I have to keep turning off home sharing and then turning it back on to watch movies from my mac mini to my tv via apple tv? I just bought apple tv brand new from the apple store yesterday. My mac mini also has the latest update.

    Hello jdebie,
    Congratulations on your new Apple TV!  I would be concerned too if I had to turn Home Sharing off and then back every time I wanted to use it.  I found an article with steps that I think would help with this issue.
    I recommend reviewing the full article below, but I think steps 4-7 are specifically useful for what you described:

  • Why do i have to keep Force quitting applications ever since i upgraded to Mountain lion. It is very annoying when applications cannot be existed normally

    Why do i have to keep Force quitting applications ever since i upgraded to Mountain lion. It is very annoying when applications cannot be existed normally.

    Does your system meet these Mountain Lion System Requirements?:
    General Requirements
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
    Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    Supported
    Models
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    And as user macsonrisanoted above, 4 GB of RAM is the practical minimum amount of RAM that Mountain Lion really needs since the OS itself uses at least that much often by itself.

  • Why do I have to keep restarting iPad 2 to get emails to download when I am successfully connected to three blips of at home wifi ???

    Why do I have to keep restarting my ipad2 to download my emails even though it is connected to my home wifi perfectly, Internet is working, but the circle just spins constantly and won't update ??? It is very frustrating !!!

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

  • HT5622 why do i have to keep changing my password?

    why do i have to keep resetting my password and my credit card info is gone

    Apple will never require you to change your password. However, if you have a corporate MS Exchange email account on the phone your IT administrator can require you to change your password.
    Since you say your credit card information is gone also, it is likely that someone has hacked your account.
