Keep getting need to authorize computer to sync. This computer has been. I have already done the delete of the sc file. I use this computer for this all the time I dont know what changed. I even uninstalled itunes and put it back on. Can anyone help please? Getting frustrated
iPhone 5, iOS 8
See iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases.
Should this happen when you try to play particular purchased songs then it may mean they are corrupt. Try deleting one and redownload to test.

I haven't downloaded anything new in weeks
Any joy from the kb article?

no! already been thru all of iTunes great fixes. Not much help
I can't get that article to open at the moment. If didn't already suggest it try creating a new user account with full administrator rights. Open iTunes in that user account and try authorising, then log off and switch back to your regular account.

That didn't work but getting closer to problem. I brought in my ipad and my daughters ipod. both sync w/o problems. Only thing I have changed is signed up for icloud on my iphone. but don't know why that changed anything
Is there some item of content on the iPhone that was bought with a different Apple ID?

Running short of ideas. Just to confirm you get an authorization prompt when syncing, but your computer is already authorized and none of the usual methods are helping. There is no content from a different account on the device. If I recall the sync usually goes through a backup phase and then transfers any new/updated purchases on the device into your library before syncing. Perhaps there is something on the device that is corrupt and triggers this error in that phase of the sync. You might try backing up the device, restoring as a new device, then restoring the backup that you'd taken earlier.
