"Some of the Audible files in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPhone because you are not authorized to play them on this computer."

Has anybody got this message? iTunes says this when I sync my iPhone4. It does not say what songs were not copled or whether it is my iPhone 4 or my iMac (2011) 21" that it is referring to. Both devices are authorized in iTunes 10.4 (80). How do you fix it? Running OS 10.6.8

Bought iTunes by iPod won't synch b/c "you are not authorized to play it.."

I bought iTunes using my daughter's computer and am trying to synch those songs to her iPod. The songs show up as "purchased" and they show in the Music library. When I synch her iPod, all of the songs I bought are not copied and each song shows an error status "You are not authorized to play it on this computer."
What is the problem? HELP and THANK YOU in advance!!

How do you do this? I just got this and I don't know how to fix it. It's never happened to me before. What do you do to authorize it. Where do you go?

New Mac Not Authorized To Play Music From iTunes Store

My new Mac is not authorized to play music purchased from the iTunes store. This was my error since I was a bit over exuberant and forgot to deauthorize my old computer before transferring the iTunes library using the setup assistant.
I do not plan to keep my old computer and will delete the music. In order to retain all my old settings (e.g. copies still available), am I now able to repeat the transfer process using the migration assistant?
I would like to simply deauthorize the old computer and then transfer the iTunes files a second time.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Just go to 'Store' in the menu bar in iTunes and select 'Authorize' to authorize your new Mac with your iTunes account.
If you have authorized 5 computers (the maximum), you can reset them all once a year from the account management section of iTunes Music Store. Access this by signing in and clicking the button labelled with your Apple ID in the top right of the iTunes Store window.
You can transfer your entire iTunes library (ratings, playlists, date added, last played, playcount etc.) by just copying the entire iTunes folder (containing iTunes Library, iTunes Music and iTunes Music Library.xml) from your old Music folder to your new one.
Make sure you back up all of your purchased music, it cannot be downloaded again!
Hope that is helpful in some way!

Firefox MAC v30 with proxy needs authenticate"Cache Access Denied" sorry, you are not currently allowed to request: from this cache until you have authenticated

Firefox was working perfectly before we've updated it to version 30.0. It seems that the new version does not like our Proxy setting which needs users to auth with their AD accounts.
In the past version, Firefox will pop-up a box that allow you to type in the username and password, which works perfect. However, it does not pop-up anymore and gives me this error message.
The following error was encountered:
Cache Access Denied.
Sorry, you are not currently allowed to request:
http://www.google.com.au/url?
from this cache until you have authenticated yourself.
I try to manually set up the username in key chain and allow firefox to access it but Firefox seems do not access that key chain at all.
Is anyone have the issue with the proxy which needs authenticate in Firefox30.0? Does anyone know the possible solutions?
Many thanks!
Shuopan
------------------------------------trouble shoot update-----------------------------------------
Quite interestingly, Firefox will work for 1 minute after I am using Safari with that Auth proxy. However, if I am not touching Safari for 1 or 2 minutes, Firefox will stop working and pop up the similar error message.
tried network.http.use-cache = false but not work
Thanks

My computer is saying some of my purchases are not authorized to play some of my purchased songs, My computer is saying some of my purchases are not authorized to play some of my purchased songs

My iPod was working fine, now when I plug it in to my computer and try to sync my music it is telling me that my computer is no longer authorized to play several of my purchased songs. I type my info to authorize my computer and it says it's already authorized. But it doesn't continue to update or sync my music.

That suggests that the tracks are damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

You are not authorized to make purchases of this InApp in Sandbox at this time

Hello,
Our app is experiencing an unusual bug.
Some users are relating that when trying to do an InApp purchase of our service they are seeing a pop-up with the following message:
We can reproduce this behavior in some test devices we have. We tested on iPhone 5, 5s and 6 (the ones we have) with iOS 8.1, 8.0 and 7.1.
But it is not happen every time. On another devices we tested too, we could purchase with no problems. Also, our revenue on iTunes Connect continues to increase and we can check on our database purchases from the latest zoo version.
Even though the latest version of our app was released on February 13th, this behavior started to happen yesterday (Feb 25th).
The message is showing on the version from App Store with normal Apple IDs (no Sandbox IDs).
Has anyone had this problem or know a solution?

Not authorized to play music?

For about a year now, I've had trouble playing music. I got a new computer last year and I think this is when the problem started, but I'm pretty sure it's on Apple's side, not mine.
I'll try to play a certain song, and iTunes tells me I can't play that song because my computer isn't authorized to play music from MY account.
My computer is authorized to play the music on my account, I've even tried deauthorizing and then re-authorizing but it doesn't help. Downloading the songs again *might* work but I have over 1200 songs, and probably about 25% of them don't work anymore. Some I've even bought fairly recently, others I've had on my account for years. The only songs I don't have a problem with are those that were added from a CD.
I can't even charge my iPod through my computer, because every time I hook it up, it disables the songs on my iPod also...
iTunes is updated fully, excluding the latest update (get tired of downloading updates every other week, so I haven't updated yet).
I have 3 out of 5 computers authorized.
On an Asus laptop, Windows 7.
If any other information is needed, please let me know.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on here? Please? ;-;
An unrelated question, how can I deauthorize the other 2 computers? I no longer have either. One burnt in a house fire and the other got run over by a truck (...yeah). I've looked for answers to this before but can't find anything other than "You need to deauthorize from the computer" which obviously isn't an option here.

I just got a laptop that uses windows vista none of my previously purchased itune songs are showing up in my library. When I follow your instructions, it still does not work. I get the same error message about authorizing my computer again. I am not a computer person - please help!!! a
Windows Vista

Eric Clapton Album Won't Sync "You are not Authorized"

Hi, I need some help. I just got my new mac mini, and im very happy with it. However, all my music, except my Eric Clapton album is syncing. It's giving me messages like, "The following items including "ride the river" were not synced to <ipod name> because you are not authorized to play them on this computer. I authorized the computer several times, and it still won't work. help!

Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You may wish to right click on the song, choose get info, in the General Tab it will give you info about the song and who bought it. Is your Apple ID the one who bought the song? If not then this is why it is not copying over.
Otherwise you may wish to check out

Not authorized to play music that I bought??

I had used my laptop for my itunes music for a while, but then I got a desktop. I wanted to get my itunes library on my desktop so I authorized my account for that computer(You can authorize 5 per account), so I plugged my ipod in. It said for most of my songs that I was not authorized(which I was) to play them.
<Edited by: Host>
I really need some help.

I'm having the same problem! I recently bought a new computer and want to transfer all of my purchased songs/movies to my new computer/itunes. I authorized my iphone and attempted to transfer all of my purchased music/movies. I was able to transfer all but 44 items.
This is the message that I see: "Some of the purchased items on the iphone, including....could not be transferred to your itunes library because you are not authorized to play them on this computer."
So I tried to re-authorize, closed itunes, opened itunes and tried to transfer and got the same message. I also tried de-authorize and authorize again, but I got the same results.
HELP?!

Not Authorized to play them on this computer

I am getting an error message when I go to sync my IPod that says- "Some of the items in the ITune library were not copied to the IPod "HP Administrators IPod" because you are not authorized to play them on this computer.
What gives? This is the same computer I have always used. I noticed too that all of the music and movies I downloaded from IPod are no longer on my IPod, but still on the computer.

I have this problem every time I upgrade iTunes to its latest version. I have to reauthorise each account I have with the iTunes stores. I have accounts in both the USA and in Australia. It's was a serious pain until I figured out the problem.
It would be very helpful if iTunes could carry over the authorisation info when it upgrades itself.
Blessings,
Fran

Not Authorized to Play Songs on This Computer

I lost all my music with a hard drive crash and had to rebuy a lot of songs due to no back up discs. Now 95% of the songs I bought including new songs will not download to my Ipod. I get the following error message "Some of the items in the Itunes library, including .... were not copied to the Ipod .... because you are not authorized to play them on this computer." I am not sure why it says I am not authorized to play them. I can not find how to fix this. Can anybody give advice on how to fix this? Thanks for the help.

Play one of the songs in iTunes and resync. If that doesn't work, start iTunes, go to the Store menu at the top, Deauthorize your computer, play one of the purchased songs and when prompted enter your Apple ID and password. Then Resync.
