Why is iTunes telling me to authorize my computer, when it already is?
So I bought a few songs, and one of them won't play until I "Authorize my computer." It is authorized, and i've never been told to authorize it again. But I do anyways, and it tells me " Your computer is already authorized. Including this one, you have authorized 3 computers out of your available 5." So I say "ok" and try to play the song. I get the same "Authorize your account first" message. It's a loop! Anyway to fix it? This shouldn't happen, and i'm upset that itunes hasn't been up to standards lately (One 5 minute song I bought contains only 3 minutes of music, the last two is absolute silence. I fixed it with audicity). So any help Apple?

Could be a Corrupt download of that song...
If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music...
Delete the Song(s) and re-download...

Please help me out guys.
Itunes has updated and now it wont play my purchased items because this computer isnt authorised.
I no longer own the other computers that I have authorised, so I'm not too sure how I get to start again.
Very frustrating, listening to one song and then it stops, because its not authorised to play the next song.
Thank you

Why am I being told to authorize my computer in iTunes when I've already done so.
I am trying to determine why I keep getting a popup window telling me that I have to authorize my computer when I'm synching my iPad (which is about two months old). The message is that I need to authorize the computer and when I do so I'm told I have authorized 5 computers (which I haven't) and this is the last one. The problem is also that I've been using this computer to access my iTunes, synch iPhone and iPad for over a year so the computer has already been authorized!
Doublechecking ... is the iPhone still syncing okay? Or is that giving you the same message as the iPad?

why is itunes telling me i have to put in my password or it wont open my ipod but my ipod says i have to connect to itunes
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

I recently had a new operating system installed on my two-year old windows computer. iTunes wants me to authorize my computer (again) and then says that I already have five computers authorized. Should I deauthorize all? Would that affect my iPad and iPhone? I may have old, non-functioning computers that are still authorized and should be removed.
Your past purchases are not on the computer. By choosing download all, those purchases will download to the computer.
Once authorized to your iTunes account you can control the computer.
When syncing the iPad the first time you will get the warning " this iPad is synced with another computer, syncing will erase all contents and replace with the contents of this computer"
Say yes, this is what you wan to do. -
I buy apps in my iPhone using different Apple ID. Which Apple ID should I use to authorize the computer when sync iPhone with iTunes?
Hi again,
After a little further research, it appears that you would need to create separate iTunes libraries in order to be able to continue to purchase and download previously purchased items on the same computer, for two different Apple IDs. Sorry - but my husband and I have had the library we sync with authorized for so long, that we have not run into this issue, but it appears that you will get an warning when you try to authorize the second ID on the same computer, indicating that another ID is already associated with it.
So, you will probably have to set up separate iTunes libraries for each ID:

Sorry for any confusion - hope this helps!

I can not find in iTunes where to choose "Authorize This Computer"?
My computer crashed. Technical guys rescued most of content including iTunes library. I had 4 computers authorized. I can pull up my library of music but can't add to the library because I cannot have my new computer authorized by following the instruction given by iTunes. My computer: PC Windows 8.
Windows 8 has been a nightmare, but I'm learning.

I am unable to play certain songs since itunes wants me to authorize the computer with an old email address I had when I first bought the songs. I don't remember that password and when I use my present Apple id and password it doesn't authorize the computer to play those songs. How do I get these songs authorized since there are a lot of them?

iTunes is making me authorize my computer to access music purchased with an old email address (never used as Apple ID). How do I delete this old email address from my account if it doesn't even show up in my profile?
Same thing here. I am getting the authorization message with iPad, 2 iPods and 3 iPhones. I'm furious about this. I reviewed my itunes account info and everything looks accurate. I downloaded a movie this morning and I can't sync it to iPad. Let's see what explanation is offered.
