Authorization issue with new hardware install

I recently had a motherboard go bad. I replaced the MB and processor and installed the original HD which had survived the failure. After setting up the machine with its new hardware, I turned on Itunes. It asked for a password to authorize the computer. I typed in the password and Itunes became functional but it now says I have three computers authorized when I only have two. Perhaps I should have asked the question before authorizing the same machine twice but I did not realize that that was what I was doing. Is there a way to solve this problem?

This happens from time to time and nothing we can do to ever predict the outcome with technology in knowing our machines that will be used.
iTunes Stores allows you to Authorize 5 total machines. Once this 5 is reached if you have access to any of the machines you can de-authorize them.
What do I do when I no longer have access to this Machine?
Once a year iTunes Store Support will allow you to reset permissions for all the accounts.
This is Typically accessed via the following and is available once you reached your 5 machine limit.
iTunes Menu Bar - Store - View My account - Confirm Password - De-authorize All computers
This will reset the count to 0. And you can start fresh.
Personally I would not worry too much about it till you reach 5. Otherwise you got to wait a full year to perform the action again.

    Try to boot in Safe mode, see if you are able: Hold down shift and then power on. For wireless keyboards, hold down shift after the chime.

  • Authorization Issue with ODS

    Dear all,
    I have an authorization issue with two ODS.
    One I activated for BEx reporting --> Is working fine in Dev, but I get error with
    missing authorization in QUA, althought some authorizations.
    Same issue with a newly created ODS, which works in Dev, but gives an error
    with missing authorization in QUA.
    What can be the reason for this? Any input is highly appreciated!
    Cheers,
    Claudia

    Hi,
    check that the role(s) are transported from your DEV and your QA, and that the user has the correct role(s)
    Check as well in your QA transaction RSSM for your ODSs objects; it might be that by transporting the ODS, some authorizations have been applied by default.
    hope this helps...

  • EYETV LITE WILL NOT STARTUP WITH NEW MAVERICK INSTALL

    eye lite will not start up with new maverick installed untill you unpluge usb then reinstall.

    Well, I download the driver for Windows 8.1 64 bit, it appears to down load then says extracting and the bar goes along to 100% then nothing. There is no option to install the printer wirelessly, the printer does not appear in the devices and printers, the Scan Doctor tries to fix the problem and just says need to install the wireless facility by using the manual when I select the wireless option. As I said, I can plug in USB and use printer fine but what is the point of having wireless if it doesn't work? Printer worked fine when installed on Home Hub 2. Got a new lap top and still  no problems. Problems started when had to have new Home Hub as the broadband connection kept dropping out. BT sent HH3 as don't do HH2 any more. Realised that the printer was still holding the details of the old hub but couldn't find a way of changing this. Reset printer to factory wireless settings so not holding these now. Cannot use CD to load printer as doen't work with Windows 8.

    Is that disc for Mac systems or Windows ?
    I suggest you visit Lexmark web site and download and install drivers for your exact printer manually.

  • Windows Media Player plugin does not install on a fresh install of Firefox 15. This is a real issue with new students.

    I have them go to the correct site:
    plugin download page on Interoperability Bridges.
    My only options are:
    1. Have them move some files over manually; which isn't feasible with students who are technically challenged.
    2. Have them install an earlier version of Firefox. 11 is the last known good version that accepts the WMP install. The problem I am finding with this is even though I tell them not to update before installing WMP somehow they still manage to do it. A lot of times they don't know how to tell me what version of ANY browser they are using.
    Firefox is one of the few browsers that work with our LMS well, but this plug problem is a real issue.
    This only pertains to any student who has never had Firefox on their computer prior to 11.
    Thanks in advance.

    I noticed it after 11, however with 12 students students experienced problems with puzzles in Angel LMS. We had people roll back to 11.
    13 came out and that's when the trouble started. I usually stay in beta so I can get a idea of what's working. Once again I had people roll back to 11.
    I logged into a system here I had not logged into before and did a fresh install of 11 and I was able to recreate the problem myself.
    Getting people on 11 is a little harder this semester because I had to locate the 11 install and send that along with the plugin to new users. The 11 install likes to force the 15 update so they have to get the plugin installed right away. Sometimes the concept is a little much for some people.
    Edit: 12 might have been okay, since we were rolling back anyway. I don't recall any issues with WMP the few weeks students had been using it.
    Edit 2: I do remember trying to search these forums for the issue and someone posted that they had been experiencing the same problems with 12 beta (at the time it was beta) and I think it was explained as being a beta issue and it never went anywhere else.

  • Bootcamp Issues: XP Frozen with New Hardware Found screen

    I've installed bootcamp on an Imac with MacOS 10.6.4. This went fine. Then I installed XP. This went fine as well. Then I inserted a Mac OX X Snow Leopard 10.6.4 disk to install the Boot Camp Drivers for Windows. But XP is just frozen with the "Found New Hardware Wizard" screen. Nothing happens.
    The Mac OS Snow Leopard 10.6.4 disk is not the one that came with the Imac. We don't have that disk. Could this be the problem?
    If so, what can be done at this point?

    That could indeed be the problem. What OSX disc are you using ? A retail bought one ? Or one that came with another Mac ?
    If so, what can be done at this point?
    Best would be to call Apple while having the serialnumber of your iMac at hand and ask for replacement OSX discs.
    Usually Apple sends them to you for a relativlely small fee.
    Since you also need the OSX disc for basic troubleshooting tasks it is vital to have one.

  • New RAM and issues with apple hardware test

    I just upgraded to 4gb of Samsung memory in my Macbook Pro. I had several issues with the computer continuously rebooting. I went into Apple Hardware Test and tested the memory. One of the dimms failed immediately so I pulled it and tested the other. It seemed to just go to around 6-10 minutes and just not do anything after that. The cursor still moves but nothing else.
    I had them replaced with Samsung original even though the computer came with Nanya. My previous Macbook Pro had Samsung and I had good luck with it. This is a Santa Rosa platformed 2.4 Ghz version with the 7200 rpm 160 gb hard drive. I'm also running Leopard but that should be independent of the apple hardware test since the OS is not required to boot into it.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Evidently its not freezing. It just doesn't update often. Its at nearly two hours now. I wasn't giving it enough time to run.

  • Migration from 7.0.2-10000 to 9.1.1 with new Hardware

    Hello,
    a customer from us wants to upgrade from Version 7.0.2-10000 to the new CUCM 9.1.1.
    I know that we have to use new hardware.
    My plan is the following:
    - Update all needed phone firmware to the latest in 7.0.2
    - Install the patch ciscocm.refresh_upgrade_v1.1.cop.sgn
    - Install Version 9.1.1 on the old hardware
    - Take a backup from the installed 9.1.1 on the old hardware
    - Install the 9.1.1 on the new hardware
    - Restore the taken Backup from the old hardware with the new Version
    - Do the licensing stuff
    - Great all things are running...
    Can someone apply this way to migrate??
    Thanks a lot...
    Christian

    If you want to avoid the phone FW upgrade after going to 9.1.1, upgrade to the same loads on your current version so you can control the upgrade process and do it with small groups of phones at a time.
    Other than that,if your MCS supports the target version, you're good to go with that plan.

  • Quality issues with new Mac Mini 09?

    I've been itching to hit the 'buy' button -- but in reading the many postings about the new Mac Mini, I'm seeing lots of issues with the bluetooth ... *wireless signal* ...
    Is there anyone who's not experiencing any problems?
    Sounds like it may be a hardware issue with connections... the last thing I want.
    My other choice is the 2008 Mac Pro which seems trouble free.
    What do you think?
    Thanks.

    There is a general issue/trend with the new Mini. There are plenty of reports in these forums and the news has begun to hit the wider press; I guess this is more important to a company with only 2-3% desktop share than posts to these forums. I went to the Genius Bar on Saturday and they have now lodged an official bug report with Apple. It looks like the Mini cannot pair with more than one HCI device. So if you pair with the mouse first the keyboard won't work and vice-versa. They don't think the Mini hardware is broken but that we will just have to wait for Apple to fix the firmware.
    Where I do agree is that some issues are OS-X 10.5 related and can therefore affect all Macs. The WiFi has issues where it randomly drops, it doesn't seem able to re-connect at all to channels above 13 and only manually to channels below 12. The system resume function is unreliable. All these started when we moved from 10.4 to 10.5 and so far they have not been addressed. One issue is that there does not appear to be a way for users to log bug reports, except when software crashes. However, the bluetooth issues on the Mac do appear real and are either firmware or hardware related.
