computer not authorized

When syncing my ipod, i get an error that says my computer is not authorized. I checked and it is listed in my devices. I type in my apple id and password to authorize my computer and I just keep getting the same error. I've had the pc computer for about 2 years with no issues with ITunes.

Windows, Windows 10

Repeated requests to authorize an already authorized computer for recent store downloads typically indicates you have corrupt or incomplete copies. Delete the tracks that won't play from your library without hiding from your purchase history. Redownload using the cloud links that should remain, or close iTunes and reopen if they don't show up straight away. While downloading click the activity widget and turn off the option that allows for simultaneous downloads.
