ICloud :: Cannot Download Music Bought On IPhone - Computer Not Authorized
Apr 10, 2012
I am trying to download music I bought on my iPhone through the cloud and it says my computer is not authorized. You must authorize this computer before you can download previous purchases. How do I authorize my computer?
When syncing iPod or iPhone there is a message that the computer is not authorized to play purchases even though I have authorized it many times. How do I fix this?
Info: MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), iOS 8.1.1
I'm trying to download music from my Iphone (that came from the SAME Itunes account, but different computer) - to the MacBook Air ITunes account.how do I make it so it doesn't erase what's on my phone with what's currently in ITUNES - I want to save it -import it?
I just got a new MacBook because my last computer was getting old but it won't let me add music from my new computer to my iPhone and I was wondering how to change that.
I can import music from my iTunes on my own computer, but if I want to import some music from a friend's computer, the iPhone 4s doesnt do anything. Why is that? And is there a way to actually get msuic from a computer thats not your primary library?
Plugged it into my MacBook, updated the iTunes software. But I can't transfer any of the music without syncing! I tried to drag files to the iPhone but it doesn't let me.
This has happened twice to me. Each time I've gone from an iPhone to a different OS phone, either ALL my music disappears from my MacBook or (as most recently) a portion has deleted..... And if I try to rebuy the songs, it says I already have them? but they aren't there....I respect iPhones, but I enjoy the phone I have now and don't plan on going back to an iPhone any time soon.Â
I've just activated iCloud on my MBA for the first time and pleased to see contacts on my iPhone/iPad have synced nicely. I've activated the music automatic download function within both the iPhone and iPad. I just wondered if that is all I need to do to get a new download of a song or movie etc on the iPhone/iPad to appear on the MBA or is there another setting somewhere in the Mac I need to check?Â
Also with iCloud activated and always signed in on the MBA does this impact on its battery life much? Can't say I noticed any difference on the iPhone or iPad.
I am having trouble accessing my music from all of my devices. My account shows that I have 3 devices that have access, but any music I have purchased on my laptop does not show up in my library on my iMac desktop computer.
Photo stream on my iPhone does not have all pictures in Photo stream on my computer. How do I get the missing pictures to show up on my iPhone? I followed the instructions to plug my iPhone into my computer. The instructions then indicate to select photos under devices to sync them but photos doesn't how up under devices.

I noticed that iTunes wasn't updating my purchases on my MBP so checked and it's not listed as an authorized computer in my iTunes account. But when I click "Authorize Computer" it's telling me it's already authorized. You can see from the screenshots that nnone of the the 3 computers listed are MacBook Pros. It's an old MBP running 10.6.8, don't know if that has any bearing.Â
There was an error storing your authorization information on this computer.
The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed.Â
I just made the move to iCloud from MobileMe. Following the directions on iCloud for iTunes to push of applications to this computer. iTunes said this computer was not authorized. Tried to authorize and got the above. I repaired the permissions, got the above again. Tried to deauthorize the computer and got the above again. What file has to be rebuilt. Reinstalled iTunes hoping the file would rebuild. I've deactivated all computers, the iPad and other MacBookPro (authorized with no problem) show up in the devices. When I authorized the other MacBookPro it said it was one of three out of five allowed. Â
Ive tried everything I know to no avail. Can't get the 17" authorized.

I have an new imac.Everyhting is working in itunes.all songs play no problem through the computer (including purchased songs)Computer has been authorized.Old imac has been unauthorized already.Latest itunes update done.Everything was working fine until I plugged in my ipod for the first time on the new imac.A pop up came up that reads that the computer is not authorized to put the downloaded songs onto the ipod. I click authorize and enter in my user name and password. Another pop up comes up and reads "this computer is already authorized".I click OK.Immediately a pop up comes up that reads that the computer is not authorized this happens over and over.if I click "don't authorize" the program starts syncing my ipod without my downloads.so I just unplugged the ipod.The computer will play the downloaded songs no problem the problem comes when I plug in the ipod.
I am in process of setting up a new computer system. I've purchased a Windows 7 PC and am migrating my music from a PowerPC Mac. Both systems are active authorized iTunes computers. I set them up to share and used the share utility to import my entire library into the new system.
Every single non-iTunes songs transferred without issue - 27,000+ of them but every single iTunes purchased songs, only 400 of them, did not.
My computer is for sure authorized to play purchased movies (I've de-authorized and re-authorized). Yet, when I try to play any TV shows that I have purchased, it continually tells me the computer is not authorized and plays just a blank gray screen. I have the newest version of iTunes installed?
My computer is authorized for my iTunes account. When I was syncing my iPad recently, iTunes kept saying that certain songs (55 of them, for which I paid iTunes long ago), could not be synced because the computer is not authorized for iTunes. I checked via iTunes Store and, indeed, my computer IS authorized. This keeps happening.
I am not able to cut, copy and paste files on my mac air. I have version 10.8.5. This is a new issue and I now keep on receiving the error message, "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items." I have checked permissions on my files and folders and I (the administrator) have read and write access.
I purchased a song and itunes keeps telling me my computer is not authorized to play it. When I type in the authorization information, it then tells me it's already authorized. Then when I try to play it, it tells me that the computer isn't authorized again?
