Why won't apps synch, even after authorizing this computer?

My computer had all its files dumped and restored and the computer was no longer "recognized" as the authorized computer. I also bought a new iTouch. I merged the old iTouch with the computer, then synched my new iTouch. When I tried to synch apps, I got the messsage that this computer was not authorized. So I went to store>authorize this computer, and it says it is authorized, but I still cannot synch the apps to my new iTouch. I repeatedly get the message that this computer is not authorized.

I have a similar problem trying to sync a new iPod Touch with the PC. I have 2 authorizations activated, both on the same computer. I did not deactivate before doing an upgrade and uninstalling iTunes from the PC. When I reinstalled it, I ended up with a second activation (but only one account). I tried to deactivate, but could only do one. I found out how to deactivate all when there are 5 activations (a button comes up), but not all when only 2 computers are activated. So, like you, when I try to sync apps, I have to activate, then the screen says that this computer is already activated, ok, then the activation screen comes back and I activate again, then screen says already activated, ok, then .... endless loop. This is a bug. Can someone please help?
Thanks

    I pad will not turn on even after plugging into computer and into wall. Any suggestions?

    Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets it to boot up ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo will hopefully appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Why won't itunes update, even after i run the installer?

    i just bought a new ipod w/ video, and was running itunes5. so, it tells me i need to upgrade to itunes6...i quit itunes, ran the installer, even reset the computer, and for some reason the update just doesn't do anything to itunes.

  • Google YouTube ad won't close in app store even after downloading

    Google YouTube ad won't close in app store even after downloading -- this means I can't get to the store

    i have resolved the issue.
    I had to close down the App Store, re-open it, and in the purchases tab the error disappeared and the option to resume the download was there again. However, I have spent the last 3 days opening and closing the program, restarting my computer. There is obviously a problem with this because there are other users who've had the same issue. Its frustrating because Apple has already taken my $20. I could have easily gone to a store to buy it if I could.

    I read your entire message, and my mom's iPhone 5 does this exact same thing. When the idiot at the AT&T store transferred her data (well, most of it) to her new phone, he DID NOT use her latest iCloud backup like he should have, but used some features in "Bump" to move things across. So, in my opinion, it's not worth the hassle of restoring it as a new device as Tim suggests. That's just the easy answer. Here's something odd about hers. It seems to do this, when she's using her bluetooth earpiece (a Jawbone Icon), but not when she's got bluetooth disabled on the iPhone 5 and holding down the "Home" button to activate Siri. If she uses her Jawbone bluetooth earpiece to activate Siri, the answer that Siri presents on the phone's screen will only stay on for about five seconds, then dim, then go blank -- and she has to "swipe to unlock" and, of course, the Siri information is gone. Not so if she uses the Home key to activate Siri.

    Hi Deb,
    Deauthorizing all is definitely the way to go.  You will just need to authorize your computer again after, as well as your husband's.
    Here's some additional information on deauthorizing all:

  • Why won't App Store won't accept my vanilla visa gift card for payment

    Why won't App Store accept vanilla Visa card as payment

    I'd call iTunes support and ask them. It's possible that the store is attempting for preauthorization beyond whats on the card (In other words, verifying that the car is worth $50 let's say when the card is only worth $25)

    hopefully either iTunes support can help you or can direct you to a better place

  • My new imac won't operate youtube even after installing the latest flash

    my new imac won't operate youtube even after installing the latest flash

    Problem solved!
    I had downloaded and then installed Flash, and restarted. 
    The problem?  I was expecting Youtube to work as on my old PC, where you get a little pop-up menu at the bottom of the TV screen to play. pause etc.  That won't happen on a Mac until  you click on the oblong that says Flash in the middle - I didn't know that!
    Hooray!

  • IPOD WON'T TURN ON EVEN AFTER TRYING TO RESET IT

    PLS. HELP! MY IPOD WITH VIDEO WON'T TURN ON EVEN AFTER TRYING TO RESET IT. THE BATTERY IS FULL. IT WILL JUST TURN ON AFTER 24HRS. WHEN THE BATTERY IS DRAINED EVEN WITHOUT USING IT BECAUSE IT IS IN FROZEN STATE. FOR INSTANCE AFTER DISCONNECTING FROM THE COMPUTER SAFELY AFTER CHARGING IT I KEPT IT OPEN BUT WHEN IT TURNED OFF AUTOMATICALLY IT WILL NOT TURN ON.

    Ok well, if you do not have the Ipod starter disk, you can’t do very much to save it anymore. It is completely gone.
    At this point I would recommend you calling Apple and setting up a repair. I would suggest you buy their warrantee plan, ($50 and good from 2 years) and it starts as soon as you buy the plan, NOT when you got your Ipod. The reason I would suggest that is, because if they deny your problem (like they did to me 5 time before finally replacing mine) it will save you a LOT of money. There may also be further issues as well with your Ipod.
    Apples SoS number is:
    1-800-767-2775
    Open 6am-6pm EST.
    They might even have a few ideas on how to fix it as well!
    As for “Viruses” I would highly doubt it. Viruses are programs designed to destroy certain parts of computer. Such as, a virus that destroys windows computer, does not do anything to Mac computer. It does not have the same components. The same thing goes for Ipod, PSP, etc. Files my contain viruses in them, but it would not effect the product in most cases. Only if you transfer the file on it to another computer, could it do anything.
    Your problem is, most likely your ipod just broke. Or should I say, just stopped working. Ipod’s are notorious at doing such things. Apple will take care of it. BUT GET THE EXTENDED WARRANTY! That is the only way to make sure they fix it. It is cheaper than buying a $350-$400 new 60 gig Video.
    Good luck my friend, God Life

  • My iPhone4 won't turn on even after being charged for 1 hour and when I plug it into my computer nothing happens

    My iPhone4 won't turn on even after being charged for 1 hour and when I plug it into my computer nothing happens. PLEASE HELP

    I have a similar (if not the exact same) problem! Here are some more details if they are helpful.
    My iPhone 4 died earlier today and will not turn back on. It seemed that the battery died while it was not in use. I attempted to charge it on one charging cord in multiple wall outlets and none worked. Assuming it was a malfunction in the cord, I took my phone home to try charging it there.
    Again, I attempted charging it in multiple outlets with a different cord than previously used. None of these seemed to work, though they would flash the Connect to Power screen for a brief moment before returning to a black screen. I assumed that my phone was simply so depleted of battery that it needed a long charge.
    I charged it for 30+ minutes without any success, then attempted to charge it through my MacBook instead of through a wall outlet. iTunes did not even recognize that my phone plugged in (and still hasn't). I've attempted charging it for an extended period of time (1+ hour) with no luck. Sometimes when I press the Power button it will flash the Connect to Power screen once more before returning to black.
    The Apple logo never appears, nor does any apparent progress on charging. I have attempted holding down the Power and Home buttons simultaneously for 10 - 30 second increments. Still no luck. There is no reason anything should be happening with this phone that I can identify.
    I have no warranty and just recently replaced my previous phone which had had similar problems before completely crashing. This is a phone new to me that was previously used but in almost new conditions and factory reset by Apple prior to my purchase.
    Does this mean that my phone battery is dead?
    Is there anything else I can do??

  • Why won't Chinese characters show after copying from Abobe Reader?

    Hi,
    I'm using Adobe Reader 9 to read a pdf of a Chinese grammar book. I tried copying the characters and pinyin from the pdf into  Mnemosyne to use for studying, however, it just comes up blank. I did it for another pdf and it comes up with weird characters. I downloaded the Chinese Simplified support and it does the same thing even after restarting my computer. Both pdfs allow for copying and were created with Adobe Distiller 7. I don't know what the problem is, but I would very much appreciate any help so I can get to studying.
    Thank you,

    I just downloaded an album but one song won't play instead a message that "This computer is not authorized" to play the song. The prompt has a log in and when I log in it tells me the computer is already authorized. What gives? Specifically the album is Flying Lotus - Until the Quiet Comes and the song is DMT Song (feat. Thundercat). I purchased the entire album and it even played fine the first listen through.
