Authorize computer message keeps coming up even though I authorized the computer

I keep getting the message to authorize my computer. I authorize and get the message this computer was previously authorized. I go to sync the ipod and get the message this computer is not authorized. Keep going around and around with this message.

Repeated requests to authorize an already authorized computer for 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.


If that hasn't helped see If iTunes for Windows prompts you to authorize your computer when you try to play purchases - Apple Support.
