My computer has had a new operating system put on Windows 7 but I did not de-authorise my old computer which was Windows Vista and now I cannot sync my Ipod Classic as it keeps saying I have exceeded my maximum of 5 computers being authorised.

My computer has had a new operating system put on (Windows 7) but I did not de-authorise my old computer which was Windows Vista and now I cannot sync my Ipod Classic as it keeps saying I have exceeded my maximum of 5 computers being authororized.  I tried doing this via my account in the Itunes Store but it still won't allow me to do this.  Can anyone help?

Contact Apple customer support, they can reset your authorizations.

  • HT1296 my computer crashed and I had to reinstall itunes and now I cannot sync my ipod with my computer

    My computer crashed and I had to reinstall iTunes.  Now I cannot sync my iPod with my computer.  Any suggestions?

    Was this issue ever resolved?
    Ditto for me!  I am so upset because about 15 years, I've had the same old Toshiba Gigabeat MP3 player which worked perfectly fine until the day Gigabeat (the software) upgraded to a Vista-compatibility program which made the MP3 go haywired!!  I couldn't get the MP3 player (again) to work as normal prior to the update.  Then, two years later, the business no longer supports MP3 players, nor does it invest in software patches!  Now I have a failed equipment ... though it still plays, but just won't let me work the controls to choose or select tracks!  I can only operate the on/off button on the Toshiba Gigabeat MP3 player! AND, concidentally, the battery seems to shorten (lessen)!  Interesting...
    Then, I decided okay, I had enough...I can't play over 5.000 songs just to return to start; I decided to purchase the Apple iPod Classic 160 GB Silver!  I've had it only since March 2012.  It worked wonderfully at first.  It took me months to put all the music from my CDs to this magical device.  And, then, all of a sudden, my computer CRASHED (ironically in JUNE 2012!!) and lost all on the hard drive ... perhaps it is not ironic afterall.
    Here's a tall quesion to Apple manufacturer, are they preparing us to confiscate our equipment?  It sure seems that way to me! 
    No support from Toshiba (which, by the way, are currently investing in so-called "green energy in nuclear projects" in the state of Texas), nor is there any support by Apple ... Interesting!  Sorry for babbling.  But I'm tired of big money making corporations putting on the bluffer masks on the public!  Something just ain't right!  Hold tight to your vinyls, tape decks, cassettes, 8-tracks and CDs...  This may be just another whim to making big time money!

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.

    Thanks for the quick advice!
    Unfortunately, I am still unable to open my core productivity apps, namely Skype and Evernote. Twitter, as well, could not start. But interesting quick fix though, I never knew you could do that.
    Here's the error log after the restart:
    What else should I try?

    Sorry, no way around this limitation on an iOS device. To use a new iCloud account, you need to create such on a computer first, then setup the account on your iOS device.

  • I have lost my calendar and now I cannot add events to it.  I keep getting cannot save event no calendar has been set.

    I have lost my calendar and now I cannot add events to it.  I keep getting message "cannot save event no calendar has been set."

    Maybe you need to Tap the Calendar Button in the upper left corner of the calendar app and select a calendar in which to add the event.
    Do you have. + sign in the lower right corner of the App? If not go to Settings>iCloud>Calendar>On. If you want to sync the calendar with iCloud, leave it set to on. If not, then set it to Off.
    Or try this of those suggestions don't work.
    Close all app scompletely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    You cannot. There is no iTunes application on an iPad and iPods cannot sync with an iPad.

  • My computer temp runs at 120 degrees. I used scmfancontrol but it did not lower the temp much. Can you tell me what I can do to make it work or any other suggestions to fix this would be most appreciated.

    To get rid of "pop-up ads and other crap on my computer when I am on the internet", click on Safari in the Menu bar, and select Preferences. Next select Extensions. Delete all of them. Restart Safari.
    The first step in addressing the black screen is an SMC reset.
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

    So basically you are saying you have a New Computer and you do not have access to your Old Computer and you did not Create and Maintain a Backup of iTunes... Correct.?
    And you want to Sync your iPhone to the New Computer... and your New Computer is Authorised...?

    After you get this issue resolved... suggest you Create and Maintain a Backup of iTunes and any other Precious / Important Content you cannot afford to lose.

  • My computer tells me I purchased the Rod Stewart Christmas album, but I did not. How can I get iTunes to cancel this "purchase". Also this thing has just started playing when I turn on my computer, how do I stop it?

    My computer tells me I purchased Rod Stewart's Christmas album. I DID NOT. How do I get iTunes to cancel the purchase. Also, this thing has suddenly started playing when I turn on my computer. How do I make it stop?

    It is probably too late to cancel it, but contact the iTunes store support staff at http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html and see what they can do for you.

  • I need to change a new Apple id on the iPad but  I can not sign out the old Apple id on my iPad because I forgot the password and sec

    I Need to change a new Apple id on the iPad but I can't sign out the old one because I forgot the password and the security question.

    Yes, you can just log out of iCloud on the mini (Settings>iCloud> Sign out) and nothing will be affected as long as the iPad is not restored from any backup after that. Though if you're giving her the iPad I would highly recommend moving the pictures to your iPad (via this page) so that the mini can be reset and set up under your daughters ID to avoid Activation Lock in the future.
