Why is my Computer not authorized only when using the remote ?

I am new to Itunes. I have taken a huge collection of my CDs and loaded them into Itunes having it save them as MP3 files. I can from the computer keyboard play any of them just fine. I hooked up the computer to my home theater system (including video hook up) my idea was that I could use the computer remote to control ITunes. However when I select a track using the remote I get a message telling me the computer is not authorized and I need to enter an Itunes store ID number. Whats the deal can ITunes only recognize if you purchase from them, can I not use my own purchased CDs??? -or- am I just doing something wrong? Any ideas would be welcomed, I have loaded about 16,000 tracks of music I already own. It would take forever to play each track so the remote will work. Oh, and it does, if I lay it first from the keyboard then the remote will play that track as well.... wierd

I am on Quick Time 7.1.3
I also tried the Option, choose library, no dice. The library is functioning fine. I plays anything I want if I work directly on the computer. It only gives the "not authorized message when I use the remote control.

Why do I get a "computer not authorized message" when it is authorized?

Does anyone know why do I get a "computer not authorized message" when it is authorized and how to fix the problem? I downloaded a couple of new apps on my iPhone and these wont sych with my iMac

i have the same problem but i have not found a way to fix it

ITunes says computer not authorized. When I try to authorize computer it says it is already authorized but will not play song

iTunes says computer not authorized. When I try to authorize computer it says it is already authorized but will not play song. Note. Library was moved from PC to MAC. I am signed in to Itunes with the Apple ID created on the old computer which is different than the Apple ID used to set up the MAC.

I'm experiencing the same thing under iTunes 11.1.1:
iTunes says the computer is not authorized, prompts me to authorize
I enter my credentials, iTunes says computer is already authorized
When I attempt to play song, iTunes starts at bullet point 1 above over again.
My attempted fixes:
I tried everything in this support document, to no avail: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389 (Note: I cannot find a SC Info folder on my Mac)
Deauthorize and then reauthorize computer
Delete song and try to redownload from iTunes store - there's only a button that says 'purchased' with no option to redownload it
Note: I am using only one iTunes account, and I double checked the song info - I'm authorizing the correct account - 12 songs from the same album purchased at the same time play fine. As does the song in question - from the finder. Only iTunes stubbornly refuses to play it.
The most odd thing is that iTunes music is DRM free - the song in question was purchased only a few months ago. Thus there's no need to authorize the computer to play it.
I was hoping that iTunes 11.1.1 would cure it - no dice.

How do I fix issue with computer not authorized yet when authorized it indicated already authorized?

How do I fix issue with computer not authorized yet when I go to I-Tunes to authorized it indicated already authorized?

I updated to iOS 5.0.1 days ago and didn't receive that notification until just now...
This time I synced new photos I took yesterday, and it gave me the:
"iTunes Sync: 54 items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information"
Perhaps it kicks off when new items get synced.
I've decided to rent a movie yesterday. Once it gets deleted, I'm curious to see if it jumps to 55 items.

I plug my computer into my stereo and use the remote app on my iPhone to control it. How can I control my wires iPad with the remote app on my iphone when it is plugged into the stereo? they are different iTunes accounts.

I think this is probably a sign that your network could be better than it is.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

Hi Buterem,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your MacBook Pro since your recent Yosemite update. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having intermittent but persistent responsiveness issues with your mouse or trackpad, you may want to try using Activity Monitor to see if these incidents correspond to occupied system resources, especially system memory or CPU. You may find the following article helpful:
How to use Activity Monitor - Apple Support
If the entire system hangs or locks up (for example, if the system clock freezes and stops counting up), you may also be experiencing some variety of Kernel Panic. If that is the case, you may also find this article useful:

HT201401 Microphone works only when using the phone in hands-free

Microphone works only when using the phone in hands-free (speaker on) mode. Otherwise, only a constant buzz, accompanied by regular clicks (repeating 2-3 times/sec) can be heard by called persons or when recording a memo. Makes Siri unusable, and cannot make private calls unless in a private area. Does anybody have a fix for this?

Okay I just solved the problem myself..
For anyone that may have the same issue:
The microphone used when recording video, is the little dot next to the jack on top of the iPhone 4S (maybe also iPhone 4, don't know). There was some dirt in this tiny little hole, and I simply just removed it with a very thin needle, and now it works great!

Dear Apple friends,
I have the exact same problem with some apps.
Even when I try some websites in Safari and Chrome that require loading big chunks of data they crash.
Today it crashed in two new places. In the notification center and when I opened newstand app I no longer was able to return to the main window and the dock disappeared.
I have my ipad retina for about three months now but latelly this issue has became more frequent. What should I do?
Should I update to the latest firmware and do what raymond73 said?
Is there a fix for this issue?
Has Apple said anything about this? Because I see that this issue is happening to a lot of people.
Is it possible to downgrade to iOS 6?
Is it a firmware problem? That can be fixed in future releases? Or an hardware issue?
Should I wait or go to the place I bought it and try to get the money back?

Why am I getting "Not Authorized" then when I sign in I get "This computer is already authorized"

Hello,
I migrated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion on my new iMac. Why when I down load using iTunes 11.0.2 I get the following loop of windows:
       I click Authorize
       I enter my Apple ID and Password
     I click OK
Then then after a couple of seconds the windows repeat again from "This computer is already authorized ..."
Please Help! Getting very frustrating! Long time Apple customer since 1985. This is the worst exsperience I have ever had with Apple products!

I fix my problem with a resolution from onelove on macrumors forum who said:
"Select song or app. that's not authorized, itunes will ask for your password, enter password, click ok, and ok again. Done.".
What I had done months ago was use a different Apple ID ( i.e. email address ) for severeal of my APPS. Latter I started using my mobiel me appel id email address [email protected].
So I just authorized one app using the apple id email address I used at that time and that fixed the problem for the remaining apps that were also originall authorized with the same Apple ID email address.

Downloaded song will not play, says computer not authorized. When I re-enter my information it says computer already authorized.

My computer is the authorized computer, and when I go to play a song i just purchased it says computer not authorized. It prompts me to login, I o and it still dont work. I am only having trouble with one song from the album.

I fixed the same issue here with a short walk through!
I had this problem before with a track from Kendrick Lamar's album "good kid, m.A.A.d city"
Enjoy!

My touch pad does not work only when using Safari browser. The screen was grey. Help!

My touch pad does not work only when I use Safari browser online. The screen was grey. No matter what I do, there is no reponse. Only the web address box works. What is this problem? I can use App Store and everything else fine.
Someone please help.
Thanks

I would try:
- Resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>Safari and delete cache, history and cookies.

I can't sync my new purchases, saying computer not authorized, but when I try to authorize it says incorrect passcode when I know is correct. Already unistalled and reinstalled. help?

I am having trouble syncing my ipod nano with my desktop. I purchased new songs that show up on my desktop but cannot get them to sync to my nano. The computer keeps giving me the message it is not authorized. Then it asks for my passcode which it says is incorrect. Which how can that happen when I can still go into Itunes and purchases songs with the same passcode? The computer just keeps looping to "not authorized" and "incorrect passcode". But I was able to see my computer is 1 of 2 computers authorized but does not seem to be recognizing this. So, I called apple support and they had me unistall and reinstall itunes but I am still having the same problem. Does anyone have any suggestions how to get pass this? Any help would be great thanks!!

Hello lenmin,
