2 devices authorised but 'can't authorise more than 5' message appears

I need to authorise a replacement computer - de-authorised and re-authorised 2 devices but the computer tells me 5 are authorised and you can't de-authorise more than once a year - any ideas?

One computer using multiple iTunes Store authorizations - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1206 - "If the number there is higher than the number of computers that you have authorized, it is possible that one or more of your computers is using multiple authorizations."
If the above doesn't work because you are up against a deauthorization limit you will have to contact Apple.

  • IPhoto 08 Can open event but can't see more than the one pic

    When I open an event in iPhoto all I can see is the main picture, I can't see the thumbnails for the rest of the pictures. It was working fine yesterday. Any help would be great!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First see if the slider at the bottom if all the way to the right. If so move it to the left to display more photos in the screen. If that doesn't work then go to iPhoto's Events preference and select the radio button titled "Double-click Event: Shows Event Photos" as seen here.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Please help with settins. I have Cox w/ 25mbps but can't get more than 18 mbps with EA4500.

    I have Cox broadband and I am using a Motorola Surfboard 6141 modem.  When I connect the ethernet cable (cat5) directly to my computer and run a speed test I get 25 to 32 mbps consistenly, but when I connect my EA4500 and run the speed test, I consistenly get 18 mbps.  I have reset the modem and tried different channels with no luck.  For some reason the router seems to be capping the speed at 18mbps.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    @No_SCREENNAME@
    There is a need to check if you have the latest firmware installed on the router. Try changing the router’s IP address to 192.168.2.1 or 10.10.10.1 to further isolate the issue; Motorola modems at times have the same IP address range with the router causing conflict. Please try to disable all Firewall and Anti-virus software installed on your computers. You can also try to set the MTU to 1365. Do you experience this problem on the both wired and wireless computers connected to your router? Knowing this information can help you to further isolate the problem.

  • HT1420 I run my business with Apple computers and personally own about 20 of which I personally use more than 5 of these. I can't authorize more than 5. Is there any way around this?

    I run my business with Apple Computers and own more than 20. I personally use more than 5 devices both at home and at the office but can't "authorize" more than 5. Is there anyway around this problem? Thanks

    Use the Deauthorize All command documented in this article, or if it isn't an option, the 'contact iTunes Store support' link at the bottom of it.

  • HT1420 My household has 6 computers & a server - how can I authorise more than 5 pc's

    My household has 5 laptops and a Mac Server, plus 6 iPhones, 3 iPads & 5 apple tv's.  However we can't access the shared library on all devices because Apple will only allow 5 pc's to be authorised.  When I purchased the server I was told it wouldn't count towards the number of pc's - NOT TRUE!  I had to authorise the server so now we have one person who can't watch anything on her macbook.  C'mon Apple. We've spent the equivalent of a small country's national debt to you - surely there must be a workaround for genuine situations like this - just check my purchase history! Not to mention the thousands of $$ we've spent on iTunes.....

    You are not addressing Apple or its employees here, only fellow product users.
    If you read this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
    It states this:
    Authorizing and deauthorizing a computer allows you to manage which computers can sync or use apps, audiobooks, books, music, movies, or other content you've purchased from the iTunes Store.
    You can use or sync your purchases from the iTunes Store on up to five different  computers (these can be any mix of Macintosh or Windows-compatible  computers). When you sync or play an item you've purchased, your computer is  "authorized" for purchase using your Apple ID.
    This has everything to do with the laws of the entertainment industry, Apple simply has to follow the law. I'm very sorry to burst that bubble, but I'm quite sure there's no 'workaround' to accomplish what you're trying to do. There is no Apple supported way to authorise more than five computers.
    It's probably not what you want to hear, but hope this information helps

  • HT1420 how can I authorise more than 5 computers in home sharing?

    How can I authorise more than 5 computers on home sharing?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    What are you trying to do, use homesharing with more than 5 computers or authorise more than 5 computers. You can't authorise more than 5 computers.

  • Itunes cannot authorise more than 5 computers

    Within iTunes, I cannot get my work PC's iTunes to log into iTunes Match.  It says I cannot authorise more than 5 devices.  I have deleted devices, so that all that remains is a couple of iPads and a Macbook.  It is still saying this message.  It is very frustrating.
    Please help me.

    These steps may help you :
    Begin by opening the iTunes program and going to the iTunes Store via the iTunes Store button in the top right.
    Once you're at the iTunes Store, click on the Sign In button at the top left corner (if you're not signed in) or on your account name in the same location (if you're already signed in).
    This will bring you to your iTunes account. In the top box, you'll see a section labelled Computer Authorizations towards the bottom. Next to it is a button that reads Deauthorize All. Click it.
    A window will pop up asking you to confirm that this is what you want to do. Continue.
    In just a few seconds, all 5 computers on your account will be deauthorized.
    Now, re-authorize just the computers that you still use and you'll be all set.
    Other Useful Notes About iTunes Deauthorization
    1. It's important to note that the Deauthorize All option is only available when you've used all 5 authorizations for your account and can only be used once every 12 months.
    2. If you no longer have access to a computer using one or your authorizations, or that computer no longer works, it can be pretty difficult to remove that authorization. In that case, it may be better to use friends' computers to reach the 5 authorization limit and then follow the Deauthorize All steps above.

  • HT1420 can i have more than 5 devices on an account

    can i have more than 5 devices on an account?

    Yes, the page that you posted from refers to computers only (you can only have 5 computers authorised on your account at any one time).
    If you use iTunes Match, automatic downloads and/or redownload past purchases then you can only do so on a maximum of 10 devices and computers combined : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 - if you don't do any of those 3 things on a device or computer then it shouldn't become associated

        jsavage9621,
    It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect.  This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone.  It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here.  I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you.  I look forward to speaking with you.

  • Can u use more than one apple account on your device and itunes

    Can u use more than one apple account on your device and itunes

    Yes, but you have to logout of one, and login to the other.
    If it is an iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch and you buy apps on different accounts, when it comes time to update an app, you have to specify the password for the account used to acquirer the app. You change an iOS account via Settings -> Store -> Apple ID (tap on it), and start by logging out and then you can enter the other Id
    So it is possible, but it can also be a pain.

  • Can I use more than one bluetooth device at a time with my iphone4

    Can I use more than one bluetooth device at a time with my iphone4

    Anthony
    I have a Plantronics 975 earpiece that works very well with my Razr.  I
    just got a Panasonic KX-TG7873S phone system for my home, it has a
    "Link-to-Cell" cellular convergence solution, from what I understand it is
    just Bluetooth enabled.  I have paired both device with my Razr.  In
    settings, Bluetooth setting, both device show.  But only one device can
    connect at a time.  If my Plantronics is connected and I choose the
    Panasonic device, the Plantronics device disconnects and the Panasonic
    device then says it is connected.  Both devices work when they
    are connected.  Is it because they are both "headsets"?
    So, to have to remember to connect to one or the other device, depending on
    weather I am coming or going is not practical.

    Can I use more than one blue-tooth device at the same time on IPhone 4S? Like a wireless headsets and speed and cadence sensor for cycling computer, receive the data and listen music simultaneously

    As long as the profiles are different (ex. HID vs AD2P) you will not have any issues. But say if you try to use 2 keyboards at once, it won't work. Or 2 headsets at once. Your scenario seems fine.
