When I try to sync my iPhone with iTunes I get a pop-up saying that this computer isn't authorized and that I'll lose 7 apps if I sync without authorization. When I click to authorize, I get a pop-up saying the computer is already authorized. It just keeps going in that loop until I cancel the sync. Any ideas on how to fix this?

can you deauthorize that computer and then reauth?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was Gris. I rebooted, and the connection failed, as it should, with the credentials deleted. And I put them back in and I'm golden. I just hate rebooting. I had a ton of documents I wanted to save to the shared drive, dammit.

I gave that a shot. Didn't work.

aurelia, have you transferred your purchases from your iPhone to your computer?
(for the record, I hate the way syncing is set up. Why do they assume that I want my computer and iPad to have exactly the same stuff?)

No, I never purchase via the phone. It's a new computer and the Apple store did a mac-to-mac transfer when I bought it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had this problem, and apparently it's because I had bought stuff with two different IDs (although I'm not sure how), and I could never fix it, although I didn't go so far as to contact Apple about it. I think megan walker had a similar issue.

Yup, just happened to me again yesterday. It's just a few songs so I didn't worry about it. But next time I should probably write them down and see if they are loading anyway.

I swear I used to use a free service to send large files so I did not have to email them. Trouble is, I can't remember what it was, and everything else seems to require me to pay $9.99
EDIT- Nevermind- it is sendspace!

My laptop has arrived! It is shiny!! So I am going to be asking a lot of stupid questions this month because I've never owned a laptop before and I don't want to destroy the battery or whatever.
I know that I am supposed to fully charge the battery and then let it discharge completely to make sure it's calibrated. Can I use the computer when it is charging initially? Or am I supposed to let it charge without anything going on so it doesn't have anything draining it while it charges? Do I need to have it on so that I can remove the charger once it hits 100% or can I just plug it in right now while I'm at work and assume it will charge completely by the time I have to go home? And then I should use it for four or five hours until it's almost dead and shut it down at 1% or whatever before charging it fully again?
Apparently I'm not supposed to keep it plugged in all the time, though? How does that work when I want it to function like a desktop computer that is on all day all the time so I can just use it whenever? Maybe I want it to be downloading something while I'm asleep or while I'm at work.
