the iPhone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorised for purchased items that are on this iPhone

This happed to me just now, yesterday is still fine, but then it does not sync anymore just now. I've tried deauthorize and authorize again but DID not solve this problem.

Had this problem today when I went to sync today for the first time this year (Jan 1st). ITunes reported that the free-bee Winni-the-Pooh wasn't authorized, and would be deleted. Put in my password multiple time which failed. Tried the suggestion to re-start the iPhone while still attached to the computer (hold down home and power buttons on the iPhone at the same time). That seemed to work.
