An easy way to fix this would be to logout of your account in iTunes and then login again. Should this not work, this could be a problem with your Apple ID.

You can “Authorize this Computer” through iTunes Store (on the left) too.

(Press Alt in Windows to reveal the menu)

After this, try to re-authorize from the menu.

(If it’s not, you haven’t authorized more than two computers.)

Within this window, you should see a “De-authorize All” button.

If not, click on the account button and sign-in.

If you’re signed in, click on the account button and click on View Account.

To de-authorize all computers at once and solve the authorization problems, you’ll first need to satisfy criteria: you should have authorized more than 2 computers with the same Apple ID. “Bad deal” because you’re going to have to re-authorize all other computers too. Of course, it’s a bad deal but it works most of the time.

The simplest solution if you’re unable to authorize a computer is to De-authorize all computers once and then try again.

There’s something wrong with iTunes/some file.

There’s something wrong with your Apple ID/iTunes sign-in.

You’ve authorized 5 computers with your email ID already.

There can be three main reasons why iTunes refuses to authorize your computer. The solutions are easy to try too and in all probability, you can fix the “unable to authorize” issue faster than you thought. I mean, what do you say when all of a sudden, you can’t authorize your computer in iTunes?īut this thing happens and it’s not as mission-critical as, say, iPhone not switching on. So once in a while, iTunes reminds us that things aren’t going to be smooth all the time.
