5th iMac to iTunes account doesn't get permission

I try to give permition to 5th equipment, an MacBook (2 iPhone, 1 iPad, 1 iMac), so I erased other iPhone to have just 4 . But iTunes didn't aloud my MacBook to have permission to be linked to the account in order to download the music. What else to do?

Are you talking about authorising your account (which only applies to computers, not iOS devices) or the 'manage devices' section on your account ? You can authorise your account via the Store > Authorise This Computer drop-down menu option on your Mac's iTunes.
For the 'manage devices' section, using iTunes Match, automatic downloads and/or redownloading your account's past purchases might get your computer associated to your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
Whether you can redownload music via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the iTunes store homepage on your Mac will depend upon what country that you are in (it's not possible in all), and whether the music is still in the store.

Take a look at Apple's document for authorizations -> iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization.
You can deauthorize all computers from iTunes. All you have to do is click iTunes Store, click your account name in the upper right corner of iTunes, then deauthorize all.

Hi, Buster1932.
I would recommend logging out of your account then logging back in. If the issue persists, see the article below.

Welcome to the Apple community.
You need to use the Apple IDs that you created for them for iCloud as well as iTunes. You will also find that you need to use them for messages and face time.

If I have a MacBook Air, can I download digital copies of movies onto another computer that uses the same iTunes account and still get the movies on my MacBook?

In most countries with a lot of movies yes you can, just like how iCloud works with apps/music

How many different iPods can I sync with my single iMac user/iTunes account?

Good Day to All,
Can anyone tell me how many different iPods & iPhones can I successfully consistently sync/integrate using my one "user account" in iTunes on my iMac? This ist situation:
I have always (and only) synced etc. my iPhone with my one iTunes UID which is under my ONE "User Account" on my iMac. Recently, my elderly folks gave me 2 iPods they have never used. One is a little silver 4GB shuffle (the little guy with a built on "belt clip" & it verbally tells you what song and artist is playing. The other is also an iPod shuffle ( only 1GB), also has the metal "pinch to open; belt clip"; also no display, however it came with a little USB Dock and THIS ONE has all of the user controls on the face of it in a circular patter of course..
To have COMPLETE successful "interaction/integration/syncing" etc (with no issues/complications etc) with my iTunes currently and previously only used with my iPhone, do I have to create two new additional "User Login/accounts" on my iMac (one for each iPod) to have all three if my devices work perfectly fine, or can I just use my same iMac login (UID) & iTunes that I use with my iPhone and have no worries?
(ie: I created my girlfriend her own iMac login UID which she has always used for backing up/syncing etc her iPhone with HER iTunes library etc)
In short, does iTunes have the ability to have multiple iPods & my iPhone under my one existing iTunes account AND using the same single iMac login/UID I've always used with my iPhone?
Obviously, I know I could create an iMac login for my mom's, another for my dad's & create them both their individual iTunes accounts, but they really don't want to have to worry about dealing with all that. I'm teetering between just treating them as my iPods and mixing/adding their limited CD's into my library (again, if iTunes allows multiple iPods etc as explained above..
OR; my other thought would be (again, if one iTunes account can integrate the two iPods as seperate devices and to just create ONE iMac UID login and ONE iTunes account under my dad's name, and use that one account for both of their music, both of their iPods, importing their CD's into the same iTunes library, then when syncing etc. just doing selective transfers/sync's of the specific music for each iPod... Even then, will iTunes be able to differentiate the two as far as backups/restored etc? I think answering my own question as I type due to the cloud... For completely individual cloud interaction/integration, I would def need to create each of them their own iTunes accounts, otherwise they will have all of each other's songs on their devices.. (ie: And my dad def doesn't want to worry about skipping over my mom's Journey or Aerosmith tunes to get to his Willie Nelson and vice versa for example.
(Sorry sooooo drawn out; thinking outloud) I guess it seems obvious that since all their digital music has to be on my iMac, I really should create them each their own iMac UID login as well as their own individual iTunes Acounts to insure cloud services work easily for restores/backups etc...
Thanks for stumbling thru my thought processes here (if I didn't lose ya long ago); I'm exhausted and throwing thoughts at the classroom board to see what sticks.... The best easiest way that is.. (The two aren't always the same obviously!)
Thank you all for your precious time and consideration and most if all; YOUR PATIENCE!! Any confirmation if the options and suggestions are greatly appreciated. You know, gotta take care of the folks & what is the simplest for them as just end users is the most important or they'll NEVER bother with them in the end...
Respectfully appreciative,

You can use as many iPods with one iTunes library as you want.

Bizarre OS 3.0 Issue, says my iTunes account doesn't exist

Okay, I'm a bit frustrated right now. See, I updated to OS 3.0 on my first-generation iPod Touch earlier today, and since then, I haven't been able to purchase a single thing on the Wi-Fi store without plugging the pod into my computer. Some of the things it's spat back at me include:
(When trying to buy an app, and I've entered the proper password) - Invalid password message, followed up by change password link via iForgot after a few tries.
(When trying to change my iTunes password through the iForgot service) - "The ID for the iTunes account you provided is invalid"
Among other things if I log out of iTunes on my Touch, I'm unable to log back in for the same reason of "invalid password", until I plug the device back in, and it works swimmingly until I unplug it again.
Now to avoid misconceptions, all the computers I own are authorized to play my music and sync with my Touch, and my iTunes account works on all of them too with absolutely no issues, and yes, I've tried Apple's bog-standard "Restart, Reboot, Restore, Reinstall, ect, ect..." method and still nothing has been fixed. I've reinstalled iTunes on all my computers, rebooted them all numerous times, rebooted the Touch countless times, wiped all settings, then all media, then restored, and even tried just setting it up as a new device and STILL nothing.
I'm at the end of my rope here, I've been trying and trying and trying almost all afternoon just to get it to start working as it should once more, but it just doesn't seem to want to. Any suggestions aside from what I've already tried as well as the usual "buy a new one" or "make a new iTunes account" responses would be greatly appreciated. I just want my mobile workstation back on its feet, with ALL its features...
And just to repeat myself, iTunes rejects my information ONLY from my iPod, and ONLY when it's not plugged into one of my computers.

Hey dude you might as well come in to this thread:

no solution has been found yet but we're working on attracting attention or maybe finding a fix
a little info is better than none.

My husband and I share an ITunes account. He gets my apps and I get his. How can this be separated. I am also getting his contacts. My Icloud is turned off!

My husband and I share an I tunes account.
This was never a problem until I Cloud was born.
I have turned off the Icloud on my I phone4 all together.
He has Iphone 4S and is getting all the apps I purchase and I am getting his contacts.
How can this be solved. If I get my own Itunes account do I have to purchase my apps again?
Help!

If you use another iTunes ID you can keep your apps, but you need to do some settings first.

I have purchased music, apps, or books with multiple Apple IDs. How can I get all of this content onto my iOS device? 
First, you need to copy all of your purchased content so it is on the same Mac or PC with iTunes. This computer should be the one you sync your device with. For more information on how to move your content, see these articles:
Mac: iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between computers
PC: iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between computers
Next, authorize your computer to play content with each Apple ID in iTunes. Once your computer is authorized for all your content, it can be synced to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
And about the iCloud, I'm not very sure about that. I think maybe you don't need to turn off all of the iCloud settings, just the items you don't want to sync with your husband. For the apps, you can cancel 'automatically download purchased items' in the settings on iOS devices.
May these informations will help you.

If I have an ipod touch and an itunes account, can i get a shuffle and transfer songs i have onto it?

If I have a Mac computer and have an itunes account, can I download songs onto an iPod shuffle if I already have an iPod touch? If so, how do I do that? I'd like to get an iPod shuffle for when I work out. Thanks for your help!

Yes.
Connect the shuffle to your Mac, launch iTunes.
From the iTunes menu bar click File > Sync iPod
If the music stored on the iPod touch you will need to transfer iTunes purchases to the Mac first then sync the shuffle.

TS1424 iTunes account continues to get "hacked", downloads [asian characters] app, then uses my iTunes gift-card money for in-game purchases.

So what's going on?
It all started a few months ago when I realized that the $20 iTunes gift-card credit was used without my knowledge. Someone had purchased an iPhone app that was obviously foreign. I immediately changed my passwords to something I've never used anywhere, ever. The next day, I noticed that whoever downloaded the "app" used the card AGAIN to make in-game purcahses. Scared, angered, and confused, I called Apple who proceeded to tell me to change my passwords (despite my explanation) and then deactivated my account for a week. They reimbursed the stolen money and I thought everything was good... until now.
There are only 2 devices that are authorized to access my iTunes account - my iMac and my iPhone. I do not join any unreliable websites or download any malicious (appearing) software, much of it being recommended-by-apple apps. I just went on to iTunes today 9/9/12 and noticed that I was downloading something and there it was, once again:
I have no idea how this is happening and/or how to stop it. They want to charge me $40 to talk to them on the phone since my gear is older than 90 days. If anyone knows what to do, or why this is happening, please help!

You need to contact iTS.
iTunes Store Support
http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
There is no fee for email support. Also, in 99.9% of cases these in-app purchases, and what you describe are due to family members using the device and not aware they are carrying out in-app purhases.
Restrict in-apps and you'll see this will stop. I'm sure iTS will also regurgitate this as well to you.

If I initially rent and begin watching a movie on my Apple TV (2nd Gen) can I later change and finish watching it on my iMac (same iTunes account)?

If I initially rent and begin watching a movie on my Apple TV (2nd Gen) can I later finish watching it on my iMac (registered with same iTunes account)?

The other way to do this would be to download all your rentals onto the Mac, then you can choose watch them on the Mac or Airplay them to the ATV.
At least that way you can switch back and forth as often as you like during the "watching" period AND have 1 month to begin watching it after you've downloaded it.

GIFTS in iTunes Account Doesn't Populate or Show Up

Have gifted family CD's from iTunes store. They've received nothing. So, to resend I opened the iTunes Account and selected
Manage Gifts. A blank window opens up. No gifts. Apple has tried to assist me but just finally reimbursed me for the two charges in
question and said to send all over again. So I did. Family receives nothing. Plus, again it is totally blank window in Manage Gifts section.
Any Idea? Thank you in advance, Patrick.

First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are.
And have you tried these?
iPod doesn't appear in iTunes or on the Mac desktop.
iPod does not appear in iPod Updater or iTunes in Mac OS X.
iPod appears on the Mac OS X desktop but not in iTunes.
Try to restore it in disk mode.
Putting iPod into disk mode.
" The firewire must be working as it is charging as I type this"
Not necessarily. The pins that carry power are not the same as those that transfer data, so because one is working doesn't mean the other is.

Can i use two iphone 4's on my mac usings itunes account but also get different contacts and email accounts...help please

Hi i two iphones one mine one my wifes.
We have one mac laptop and one itunes account. is it possible to sync the two iphones on itunes but have two different contacts and email address.
But i would also like my apps to work on her mobile as i do not want to pay for them twice..

Yes. There is no device limit for the number of iPods, iPads, and iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the same computer. Each device can have its own sync preferences with iTunes on the same computer.
If both iPhones are synced with the same Address Book under the same computer login account, then the contacts on each iPhone will be the same. With the Address Book on a Mac, you can sync select Address Book Groups only with an iPhone instead of the entire Address Book and all groups. You and/or your wife can create an Address Book Group or multiple Groups to be synced with each other's iPhone only. You can transfer the settings for one email account to one iPhone and the settings for another email account to the other iPhone.
