The information comes from the Audible site and it solved my authorisation problems. Cheers, Anne Activation Loop (MAC) I am using a Mac. Every time I quit iTunes or reboot my computer, when I attempt to play one of my Audible titles I am prompted for my username and password. This occurs even though I was able to play my Audible titles before I quit iTunes or rebooted my computer. In addition every time I sync my iPod, iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad with iTunes, all of my Audible titles are removed from my device until I authorize my computer again. Resolution: When activating your Audible account for iTunes on a Mac operating system, it is recommended that you log in to your computer as a user with administrative privileges. Once you activate your Audible account for iTunes on your Mac you can login to a user with non administrative privileges to listen to your downloaded Audible content or to transfer to your Apple Device. To activate your Audible account for iTunes on the Mac operating system simply attempt to play one of your downloaded Audible titles in iTunes. If your Audible account is not yet activated on the computer you will be prompted to enter in your Audible username and password for the title you are trying to play. Simply enter in your Audible username and password and select OK . Note: You must be connected to the Internet during this process. Step 1. First, Quit iTunes ( iTunes menu > Quit iTunes ) . Step 2. Browse to the following location on the computer: MAC Hard Drive > Library > Preferences Step 3. Press CTRL and click the mouse button on the folder, Preferences , and select Get Info . Step 4. Ensure that the Privileges for all the Names under Sharing & Permissions are set to Read & Write . Note: You may have to select the lock in the lower right hand corner and enter in the administrative password before you are able to change the Permissions. Step 5. Launch iTunes and attempt to play one of your Audible titles. When prompted to activate simply enter in your Audible username and password for that title and select OK . Once the activation window goes away and the title starts playing, pause the title. Step 6. With iTunes still open, browse to the following location on the computer: MAC Hard Drive > Library > Preferences Step 7. In the Preferences folder will be a file called com.audible.data.plist. Press CTRL and click the mouse button on the file, com.audible.data.plist , and select Get Info . Step 8. Ensure that the Privileges for all the Names under Sharing & Permissions are set to Read & Write . Note: You may have to select the lock in the lower right hand corner and enter in the administrative password before you are able to change the Permissions. Step 9. Quit iTunes, then relaunch iTunes, and attempt to play an Audible title. If the title starts playing you will no longer have to authorize your Audible account each time you quit iTunes or reboot your computer. If you are still prompted for your Audible username and password, proceed to the next step. Step 10. Quit iTunes and browse to the following location on the computer: MAC Hard Drive > Library > Preferences Step 11. In the Preferences folder delete the file com.audible.data.plist . Step 12. Launch iTunes again and attempt to play an Audible title. When prompted to activate simply enter in your Audible username and password and select OK. Once the activation window goes away and the title starts playing, quit iTunes. Launch iTunes again and attempt to play the same Audible title. You will now be able to play your Audible content without being prompted for authorization each time. <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/>.
