Authorized one machine twice?

I just launched iTunes and went to the iTunes Store after having been gone several days for vacation. When I tried to buy a song I got a message saying something like "This computer is now authorized. You have now authorized 4 of 5 computers to use this account."
The problem is, this is my main computer which has been authorized on this account for a couple years. I know exactly which 2 other Macs are authorized, but I know for a fact that a 4th computer isn't authorized, so it would appear that iTunes is counting this Mac twice.
When I check my account it tells me that 4 machines are authorized (but, of course doesn't tell me which machines those are). How can I fix this so only the 3 correct machines are authorized?

In the article this is what is said about the "deauthorize all" function:
"If you find you have reached 5 authorizations due to system upgrades, you can reset your authorization count by clicking Deauthorize All in the Account Information screen. Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than 5 authorized computers or if you have used this option within the last 12 months.
To deauthorize all computers associated with your account:
Click iTunes Store in the Source pane.
If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
Click the Account button again (your ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All."
You will not find the "deauthorize all" button until 5 computers are authorized.

  • If one buys pages , can i download it and run it on my desktop AND my laptop or do I have to buy it twice? its only me using one machine at any one time. (Have recently purchased a second hand iMac and secondhand Mac book pro 17")

    If one buys pages , can i download it and run it on my desktop AND my laptop or do I have to buy it twice? its only me using one machine at any one time. (Have recently purchased a second hand iMac and secondhand Mac book pro 17")

    I have a couple or dozen or so excel spread shheets that I use origionally created in M/s Excel v.5.0 ( yup some time ago although have run and updated them on office 2007  perfectly etc.  AND numerous word files that I refer to. I have also run these files using Open Office on a small 13" mac Book Pro. successfully.
       I have now decided to change my personal use computers > macs.
    Ok, so in summary then i think you kind guys are saying:
    (1) That if i buy Pages & Numbers or even iworks which is Apple's suite of such programs i believe, then I can download and Run these apps /programs on each my personal  mac computers whether they be my second hand Imac or second hand 17" mac book pro. ( basically i have purchased these so that I am converting to the "Apple Side" and can use the Imac desktop while at home and Mac book pro when out and about) , under the one purchase and one licence.
    (2) The decision as to whether to Buy M/s Office for Mac v Pages & Numbers or the iworks suite is that if I have lots of MACROs in my existing files written in M/soft that it would be better to go for M/s Office for Mac. I understand that Macros are the automated thingys ?? I have formulae obviously inthe fairly simple spread sheets but not aware of any macros. So I guess that means ~ I could purchase either product by the sounds of it. yes? Are there any other obvious things i need to consider?
    Other INFO:
    Also, I have snow leopard on one system and Maveric ( pretty impresive!) on the other. i am slightly reluctant to upgrade the snow leopard o/s as I would have to upgrade the paralles software and probably Windows software as well in order to run an old Kitchen, drawing program that I use occaisionally. I know that one should be able to partition / and Boot camp but I really don't want to do that. I feel at this stage its not worth payingtoi up grade all these bits of software for something I rarely use. But I am open to anyones comments / views.
    Thanks.

  • "One machine is authorized to play music purchased with this account"

    Hey Guys,
    I just made my Apple ID my iTunes account, and I just reviewed the account info. For some reason it says: "One machine is authorized to play music purchased with this account"
    I thought up to five computers are authorized to play music downloaded from iTunes?
    Did I do something wrong, is this normal?

    Up to 5 can be authorized but you have only authorized 1 machine.
    If you have another machine you want to authorize, fire up iTunes on it and authorize it. You don't need to authorize it unless you have iTunes purchases on it.

  • Says I'm authorizing another machine when I'm not

    I recently uninstalled itunes and then re-installed it. When I downloaded itunes 7, the new one, though, it said that I was authorizing another machine when I put my library back into it. It's the same computer, I just uninstalled and re-installed the itunes program. How do I fix this? It's saying that I'm using up 4 out of my 5 authorizations.

  • How to create two or more JVM in one machine ?

    Hi to some background ,I want to invoke RMI call to a server ,and I have written the following client code ,that access a getCounter()to show the incremented static variables value ,each time calling the getCounter() will increment the static variable by 1.That code is deployed in the server.
    PDOS_Remote_Interface service1 =(PDOS_Remote_Interface)Naming.lookup("rmi://x.xxx.xxx.xxx/REMOTE_SERVICE");
    String s1= service1.sayHello();
    int cont1 = service1.getCounter();

    PDOS_Remote_Interface service2 =(PDOS_Remote_Interface)Naming.lookup("rmi://y.yyy.yyy.yyy/REMOTE_SERVICE");
    String s2= service2.sayHello();
    int cont2 = service2.getCounter();
    System.out.println(">>>>>> "+s2);
    System.out.println(">>>>>> cont2 "+cont2);
    This is working fine with even two different server (I mean in two physically different machine(x ip and y ip) ,there ip are different )
    with following output :
    Server Says Hai!
    cont1 0
    Server Says Hai!
    cont2 0that is static variable is not shareing as they are in two different server
    Now My problem:
    I want to hit the one and only server ,In this case Service1 and Service2 are getting the remote instance from only one machine .And when I am doing that I am getting the static variable incremented ,That is following output
    Server Says Hai!
    cont1 0
    Server Says Hai!
    cont2 1Is this possible to create two JVM instance in a particular machine ..??
    I mean I want the first output (both static variable shows 0)in second implementetion (using only one machine )???

    Yes, but the naming service is only going to accept one registration for a given name.

  • How to handle sessions with two severs on one machine?

    All,
    I am having a problem with session cookies being overwritten when I host two apps on one machine running WebLogic 8.1 The apps are http://myserver:7300/app1 and http://myserver:7400/app2, and each runs in its own server.
    Users will often access both apps at once, in two browser windows. If the windows are different threads in the same process, the sessions collide. For Internet Explorer, this isn't usually a problem since clicking on the shortcut multiple times launches different processes by default. Some browsers (Firefox, etc.) won't let you have two windows under different processes. Attempts to launch a second window 'detect' the existing process and appear to spawn a new thread. When this happens there appears to be no way for the users to use both apps at once.
    I know this is happening because of the way session cookies are stored in the browser process' memory. The session cookies appear to me to be 'keyed' by the host name or ip address of the server. Does anyone know of a setting in WebLogic so that this 'key' includes the port or context root? Is this even something which can be controlled on the server side?
    Thanks for any help,
    Brian

    Not quite sure what your intent is, but if you want to avoid a clash how
    about giving each application a different default session cookie name.

  • Have multiple iTunes libraries on one machine?

    Hi,
    I want to have multiple iTunes libraries on one machine (with two different hard drives, internal fore mp3s and external for AAC files). One library is composed of mp3s for an iPod, I want the other library to have AAC audio files for burning CDs. I would rather the libraries not be mixed.
    I have read the article (#301748) for migrating an iTunes library and am preparing to migrate one of the libraries on to a external hard drive.
    I have read about using Libra to maintain two different libraries on one machine. I was wondering if anyone does this and if they have encountered any problems? Is there a better solution?
    Thank you,
    TPK

    It's one thing to want two music libraries on one machine and another to want two music libraries on one user account. For the latter, here's what I've done.
    I created folders in my iTunes folder called, say, Main Library Folder and Second Library Folder. (These could be anywhere you find convenient.) I dragged my regular iTunes Library file into the Main Library Folder. Then I opened iTunes and created my second music library. When I finished that, I closed iTunes and dragged the just-created iTunes Library file into the Second Library Folder.
    If I want to use my main iTunes library, before opening iTunes I drag an alias (Cmmd-Option-drag) of the iTunes Library file from the Main Library Folder into the iTunes folder. Then, when I open iTunes, iTunes reads my main library file. And of course, it works the same way for the second library.
    Of course, you could just shuffle the actual library files into position in the iTunes folder from their holding areas, but I strongly preferred to get myself into the habit of relying on aliases, so I could leave the actual library file alone in their respective folders. You most definitely would not want to accidentally overwrite one of your iTunes Library files.
    I'm sure one of the shareware products would do a more elegant job, but this just shows you that it's not a difficult process.
    The alternative is to set up separate user accounts to access different libraries on the same machine. This has real benefits and, to me, should be the first option one considers. It's easier on the brain, as it sticks to iTunes' one-user-one-library model, and there's absolutely no risk of getting libraries confused. Fast User Switching on the Mac makes going back and forth between accounts easy. But if you really want to avoid using different accounts, and it's only you that has to keep things straight, the approach of jumping back and forth between different libraries in the same user account should be OK.

  • Multiple version of Java on one machine

    Is it possible to have multiple versions of Java co-exist on the same XP Pro machine?
    Here is our scenario: we have apps that use Java 1.5, but we have one critical app that doesn't support that version yet. It has to use the 1.4 version. Is there a way to allow both versions to exist and be usable for their respective apps? If so, how?
    Thank you.

    I can't, however it's never a good idea to have
    multiple versions of Java on one machine. Try and
    standardise if possible. If OP used JAVA_HOME as you
    often suggest, then he would be knackered wouldn't
    he? JAVA_HOME can only point to one JDK. Your
    advice is conflicting kaj.Nope. JAVA_HOME should always be defined in the start script/file for a java application, so it's not set per system. It's very common that companies have applications that requires different JDK/JRE versions, and it's usually very expensive to upgrade all applications (if it's possible at all). You can of course also alter the PATH variable if you want to in the script.

  • Need to run multiple copies of portal on one machine

    This is a little involved to explain so I'll try to be clear.
    Right now we have multiple developers working on our single copy of our portal
    running on one machine at another location. No good can come of this and much
    bad has already happened.
    What we need is to be able to run different copies of our portal on different
    ports on that same machine. Making a copy of the domain, changing the port and
    java.io.tmpdir just confuses the first server started when the second one goes
    RUNNING. Changing the Web Application name doesn't help either.
    It looks like it's only our stuff that gets cornfused when I set up multiple servers
    (user_projects/someDomain, user_projects/someDomain2) or multiple Web Apps (someDomain/beaApps/portalApp/webApp1,
    someDomain/beaApps/portalApp/webApp2) since I can log into the console just fine.
    The Big Idea is that we need each developer to have their own sandbox to play
    in along with a demo/test copy of our software.
    I've dug through the BEA docs and these news groups and have not found anything
    that directly pertains to our situation. The BEA docs are particularly thin on
    information pertaining to dealing with more than one developer or deploying to
    remote machines.
    Here are some of the particulars and constraints of our setup.
    We are running WebLogic Platform 7.0.0.0 on a Solaris box at another physical
    location. All access is via network. We have no root access for a variety of
    reasons.
    Oracle is used for our JDBC. No Pointbase.
    Our WebApp has a servlet as the starting point.
    We deploy an exploded version of our servlet and JSPs for convenience.
    We edit and compile our java source on Windows boxes and FTP the .class and .jsp
    files up to their proper places on the server.
    Naturally, the ideal solution would be to have more than one machine for a server.
    Right now we don't have that option.
    Thanks for any help that you can give,
    Jon Davis

    Travis,
    We tried something very similar to that. We're using WebLogic Platform 7.0.
    We only have one login on this Solaris box.
    I copied our domain (${HOME}/bea/user_projects/somePortal) to another directory
    (${HOME}/bea/user_projects/somePortal-devel) and changed the relevant XML files
    with regards to ports and installation directories.
    Maybe the UID that each server runs as is the difference........
    Maybe an earlier version of the products are more tolerant of this and what we're
    experiencing is a "feature".
    At least I know that my initial approach wasn't such a bad idea :)
    Thanks,

    Jon,
    We do this with very little issues. I’ll take a stab at putting this
    into words.
    I suggest that you have the developers run their own instance from their
    own Solaris
    user home directory. So in /home/travis make a directory bea/app (/home/travis/bea/app)
    in the bea/app directory copy the applications, bin, StartPortal.sh,
    StopPortal.sh,
    and config directory from your current application, probably /opt/bea/wlportal4.0/.
    Then make sure that your scripts (in the developers home directory)
    all reference
    jar files in the /opt/bea/{wlportal4.0 and wlserver6.1} directory's.
    Next go
    through the /home/travis/bea/app/config/portalDomain/{config.xml & *.sh},
    /home/travis/bea/app/bin/unix/*.sh,
    and /home/travis/bea/app/application/portalDomain/{applicationDir}/WEB-INF/web.xml
    and start and stop scripts to change all “application” directory references
    to
    relative pathing from the /home/travis/app/bea directory also change
    all references
    of the 7501 and 7502 ports to another port for each developer.
    Hope this is readable and helps

  • IWeb projects from two computers. How do I combine onto one machine.

    Hi,
    I have been working on five sites in total. Three of them were satrted on my iMac G5 and recently I have just started two more but on my new MacBookPro.
    They are all published, but I now want to combine all of the projects onto my MacBookPro. After some research it seems that iWeb saves one file called Domain in the iWeb folder. I can't have two Domian files in the same folder (one replaces the other)
    Question is, how do I combine all of my iWeb projects together into one Domain file?
    Any help appreciated.
    Keith

    I was wondering the same thing, for the same
    reason...it sounds as if the separate domain files
    must be maintained separately [maybe in separately
    named folders in AppSupport/iWeb? and then just
    switch between the separate folders to be able to
    edit on one machine....but then be careful when you
    do an Announce, because it'll only send
    http://web.mac.com/nameofuser to the people and it
    might open up Site #2 and not the one you sent,
    right??
    This is the reason there are applications like iWebSites (http://mistergregg.com/cocoadrillosoftware/) that help you to switch in and out different domain files. With multiple sites, you must specify the longer URL in order to get people to the specific site. I don't think the Announce email function is really up to snuff in this regard.
    Any easy way to cure this issue of being able to
    easily announce Site 2 to some and Site 3 to others?
    without visiting sites and sending the LONG link????
    that's inelegant.

  • Can I use aperture library on more than one machine

    My situation is thus:
    I have a Macbook Pro on which my Aperture Library resides, in wherever Aperture decided to put it when I bought the software.
    I now have a iMac, which obviously will be better than the Macbook for photo editing.
    But I want to be able to take my Aperture Library with me when I take the Macbook out and about, and if necesary still edit on the Macbook.
    Is there any way to share the Aperture Library, so that I can edit on the iMac, but leave the library on the Macbook, and then edit on the Macbook if I wish.
    I am the only user, and will only be using Aperture on one machine at any one time.
    I have searched archives but not managed to find the answer.

    Is it possible to simply share the directory that contains the necessary file(s).
    If your Library is in the location that aperture picks by default, then it will be in your "Pictures" folder - look for a file with a name like "Aperture Library. aplibrary".
    What you will need to share depends on your import strategy for the master images. If you use managed masters, and all your master images reside inside the Aperture library, then you simply need to make this library file accessible  or copy it to an external disk.
    If on the other hand your masters are referenced, then I would recommend to consolidate them into the library before you share the library and then share the consolidated library.
    If you will share your library over the network or just by moving it to an external device is really up to you, but you might consider  the following pros and cons:
    - If you want to profit from the faster CPU on your iMac, then you should keep the library on the fastes volume that is available, and a network volume might be much slower than a directly connected volume.
    - if the network fails during a critical operation your library might get corrupted, if it resides on a network volume - there have been quite a few problems reported in this forum.
    That is why I suggested to use your Macbook as directly mounted external volume, that leaves the library in its place on the Macbook Pro - no need to copy - and you have a very quick and stable connection,  but the decision is yours to make. You will have to be comfortable with the workflow you choose.

  • How to install more than one instances on one machine

    Hi ALL,
    I want to install more than one instances on one machine, but i am a freshman on SAP field. How and where can i get the related infomation for that? thank you very much !!

    Hi tieyan,
    Glad the information was of some help.
    For Windows, there is an older note <a href="http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/28392">28392</a> that has some more information. It is important also that the SAP parameter PHYS_MEMSIZE is sized correctly according to note <a href="http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/88416">88416</a> (the bottom of the note gives some examples). For example, if there were two central instances and the two Oracle database instances on one host, PHYS_MEMSIZE for both instance profiles (of the central instances) would be 35% of the RAM (1/2 of 70%). In the case of MSSQLSRV 2000, for PHYS_MEMSIZE you would refer to the scenarios of note <a href="http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/327494">327494</a>.
