iTunes

One album I've had for a long time now generates the "this computer isn't authorized.." message when I attempt to play it. Others play fine, and it plays correctly from my iPhone. When I try to authorize, it won't accept my password and then tells me the computer is already authorized. Tried restarting but no help.

iTunes “authorise this computer” no longer working I use iTunes (on Windows 11) to store my iTunes library, and synchronise subsets to my iPod, iPhone and iPad. This setup has worked OK for years. Today, I am getting warnings that my computer is no longer authorised and, despite following the advice to (re) authorise via the iTunes “account” menu, the error message keeps repeating. I am not above the five devices limit. Even deauthorise/reauthorise doesn’t seem to work. Has something changed? Any suggestions for resolution? Thanks

Assistance Required: Resolving iTunes Authorization Conflict I am reaching out to seek the assistance with an issue I am experiencing with iTunes on my computer. I am encountering a perplexing situation where I am unable to download tracks due to an authorization error. Issue Description: Upon attempting to authorize my computer to download music from iTunes, I received an error message stating that I cannot authorize more than 5 computers. This is where the confusion arises: according to my account details, there should be no computers currently authorized. However, the system seems to believe that I have reached the limit. Troubleshooting Steps Taken: I have verified my Apple ID and checked the account for any indications of authorized computers without success. I have attempted to deauthorize all computers, but the option is not available, presumably due to the system's belief that there are no authorized computers. I have ensured that my iTunes and computer operating system are up to date. Request for Assistance: Could you please assist me in understanding the current status of my authorized devices and resolving this issue? If necessary, I am willing to provide any additional information required to address this matter. I would greatly appreciate your prompt attention to this problem, as it is hindering my ability to enjoy my music library. Thank you for your time and assistance. Warm regards, Andrew

How to resolve iTunes authorization issue on Windows when making purchases? I’m having a huge problem with I tuned for windows. I don’t know quite how it happened but I don’t seem to have an account and when I try to authorize the computer or make a purchase it just says not completed and try again. I changed the password but that didn’t help. I have an Apple phone and it seems to work there. I suspect the problem is windows iTunes.
