Q: Computer "not authorized" for iPhone; Tried fixing it but nothing helps
I have an iPhone that, up until recently, was synced with my family's account. Today, I created my own account on my computer, and bought numerous apps, different ones from the ones on my family account (plus a few of the same ones).
However, when I tried to sync my iPhone (which was still synced to my family's account at the time), the computer refused and told me it was "no longer authorized for purchased items on this iPhone". I went into the 'Account' tab and tried to authorize it, but the computer told me it was already authorized. I tried to sync it again, and it still didn't work.
I went into my iPhone's iCloud settings and changed it from my family's account to my own account, but that didn't work either. I even turned both my laptop and my iPhone off and then back on again, but that still didn't work.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
iPhone 6s, iOS 9.3.5, null
