I just got my computer working again after 6 months of being without it, and now iTunes is saying it is not authorizable? How do I fix this?

I just got my computer working again after six months of it being down. I have had it for almost five years and it has been synced with my iPhone as well. I'm trying to re-sync it now but it won't transfer purchases I've made from iTunes on my iPhone and wants me to authorize my computer. I try, and then it tells me my account is already on 5 computers (it is NOT) and that this computer cannot be authorized. HOW do I fix this???

Log in to iTunes,  go to "view your account info" on the itunes store,  deauthorise all five, (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months)  and then re-authorize your current Computers one at a time.

    When you say you can't do the alignment, what happens?  Do you get an error message, flashing lights, or no response?  The good news is the problems you're describing typically don't indicate a hardware issue that would warrant getting a new printer.  Go ahead and try the steps in this document.  I'd also recommend unplugging the printer after you've removed the cartridges (per the steps in the document) and gently clean the contacts in the carriage that holds the cartridges.
    Let me know if that helps.

    If you have iOS 5 installed on it, you don't need a PC.  simply turn it on and set it up.
    if you don't have iOS 5 then you'll need a computer.

    When your username includes a Charakter like "acson te graf" zhere is a Problem for Windows to find your installiert-Files. Yust Build another Username like "Dummy", give admistration rights, change to this user and install iTunes on this accout. Now you can Return to your Old account an use iTunes.
    I am still surching how to change the username in Windows but still no idea.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You could simply ensure that only the numbers and addresses you wish to use on each device are checked at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. However this isn’t an ideal solution because the other person can always change these settings from their device and have some fun with you and your contacts.
    You’d be far better getting them to delete your account from their device and have them create one of their own. If you are sharing an ID for some other service such as iTunes, you can continue to do so, you only need change the ID for messages.

    Here is a recent post I assembled for a similar question:
    Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta.  Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
    However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion).  While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Workarounds:
    1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopard;
    2.  If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PowerPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion;
    3.  Upgrade your software to Intel compatible versions if they are available, or find alternative software that will open, modify and save your data files;
    3.  Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels:

    - Charge the iPod for half an hour.  Then reset the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - if still not working, connect to your computer. If iTunes sees the iPod, restore the iPod.
    - If still problem, place the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod.  For recovery mod see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
