Authorizing computers: need urgent reply!!

I have a question regarding authorization of up to 5 computers. This feature is supposed to let you play your purchased music on up to 5 computers, right? Well, on all the topics I've read, people are saying that all you need to do is play the song on the computer you want to authorize. I don't understand this. How are you supposed to play the song on the computer you want to authorize when it wasn't downloaded to that specific computer. I am not understanding the step where you just play the song or purchased music playlist on the computer you want to authorize when the songs you have purchased are not on that specific computer. Can someone explain this to me please.

If the computers are on the same network, you can turn on Sharing (and Look for Shared Music) in iTunes and share the tracks that way. This is documented in the iTunes Help, so check there for additional information on Sharing if that's of interest.
The other way is to copy the tracks from the computer on which they were download to the other computers:
iTunes 4: How to copy music between authorized computers
Though it refers to iTMS purchased music, it applies to all your tracks. And if you happen to also own an iPod:

    Hello everyone, i registered here just to ask a question and see if i can get good suggestions because other forums gave me nothing informative so i am trying this one.....so here goes
    I am a Oracle beginner(no knowledge)
    I am quite good with windows
    Very Little or no knowledge with linux
    Very Fast Learner ( due to EXcessive free time, and Very Fast internet connection with determination )
    An undergraduate(1 more year) student studying Information Technology in university
    Am grounded with other disciplines like programming, networking, troubleshooting, maintenance, web design, installations etc.
    So i wanna begin with oracle but im left with a choice....what operating system( WINDOWS vs LINUX ) is preferred to learn...please i need informative answers with reasons and specifications.:D:D:D...thanks!!

    You mentioned that you are a quick learner so read this to learn that how one should ask questions on a public and free forum like this one and why its not appropriate to mention urgent especially for a question like what you have asked.
    http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
    I am a Oracle beginner(no knowledge)Okay. Bookmark this site before you do anything else and from it, start reading Concepts guide of *11.2* version. The link is, http://tahiti.oracle.com .
    I am quite good with windowsOkay
    Very Little or no knowledge with linuxYou can start with a basic course over it. I would suggest to stick with learning Oracle and not to mix it with tens of things like learning linux or anything else. Be good in Oracle and than you can learn it.
    Very Fast Learner ( due to EXcessive free time, and Very Fast internet connection with determination )No comments over it!
    An undergraduate(1 more year) student studying Information Technology in universityFinish your studies first so that you can devote complete attention towards one thing, whatever it may be!
    Am grounded with other disciplines like programming, networking, troubleshooting, maintenance, web design, installations etc.So what does this mean? If you are already so busy, do you really think that you would be able to learn oracle or anything for the matter of the fact with precision?
    So i wanna begin with oracle but im left with a choice....what operating system( WINDOWS vs LINUX ) is preferred to learn...please i need informative answers
    with reasons and specifications.:D:D:D...thanks!!Wanna? What's that word or you wanted to say 'want to' ? Use professional language over forums like this one not IM speak like u , wanna, plz! About learning, I guess from what you just mentioned above, you are already having a year with you to decide it and to get free time to learn anything with complete attention. Other than that, there is no such thing that linux is better than windows and windows is totally useless. Both are good but that depends on how much good is that person who is managing it. So learn anyone but be good in it. Linux is spreading more across everywhere so having its knowledge surely would help in addition to windows knowledge ( which you have already said you are very good at).

  • WCM questions for customers, need urgent reply

    Dear
    I have the following questions from a customer that I need to get back to with answers tomorrow, can someone help me with?
    - How multi-language content is managed? Does the portal show the right content depending on browser language? Are the different translations of the same content grouped?
    - Details of Polls portlet. Can it be integrated in WCM interface? How to manage Polls data (reporting, archival...)
    - Details of News portlet. Can it be integrated in WCM interface? How it is managed (add new items...)
    Thanks a lot

    - How multi-language content is managed? Does the portal show the right content depending on browser language? Are the different translations of the same content grouped?This very much depends on your implementation. I think there are two basic approaches:
    - either you have "one item" with a parameter "language"
    - or you have "separate items" somehow linked together (linkage can mean that one item is a translation of the other)
    I think the major question is how you want your translations behave. A good starting point could be the Oracle translation workflow - a piece of code created by a Belgian consultant, which might be generally available. Check this with your Oracle rep.

    - Details of News portlet. Can it be integrated in WCM interface? How it is managed (add new items...)Which portlets do you mean? Portlets from WebCenter? You can consume any standard portlet, but you will need WebCenter Portal or WebCenter Suite Plus license (not just WebCenter Content, formerly UCM).

    Why? Have you forgotten to do your coursework and you'll get thrown off your course if you don't hand it in today?
    What makes you believe that your request for help is more important than someone else who has requested help? It's very rude to assume you are more important than somebody else, and I'm sure they would like an answer to their issue as soon as they can get one too, but they've generally been polite and not demanded that it is urgent.
    Also, you assume that people giving answers are all sitting here just waiting to answer your question for you. That's not so. We're all volunteers with our own jobs to do. How dare you presume to demand our attention with urgency.
    If you want help and you want it answering quickly you simply just put your issue forward and provide as much valuable information as possible.
    Looking at your post you haven't told us what database version you are using, you haven't provided any create table DDL's and insert statements to populate that with sample data, and you haven't even shown us that you've had a go at doing something yourself.
    You will find if you post on here demanding your post is urgent then most people will just ignore it, some will tell you to get lost, and some will explain to you why you shouldn't post "urgent" requests. Occasionally you may find somebody who's got nothing better to do who will actually provide you with an answer, but you really are limiting your options by not asking properly.

  • Using unicode in sms sending :)plz. urgent reply is needed.

    when i want to send a sms of string of unicode. is it necessary to encode it in UTF8 or UTF16 ???
    when i encode it then the length of the string comes larger.
    can i send sms as a string of unicode without changing its length????
    like this:
    String str="\u270F";
    // now str's length is 1
    str = new String(str.getBytes("UTF16"));
    //now str's length is 4!!!!!!!!
    plz. urgent reply is needed.
    best regards
    tanvir

    By default SMS has it's own text encoding and therefore you cannot use UTF8 nor UTF16. There is a special UCS2 encoding, alowing for 70 unicode characters to be send (per sms). See: http://www.dreamfabric.com/sms/

  • Compatibility of Weblogic 6.1 Oracle Thin Driver for Oracle 9i. - URGENT Reply Needed..Thanks.

    Hi, We are using Weblogic 6.1. We are currently using JDBC Oracle Thin Driver (ClassName
    : oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver) that is built into Weblogic 6.1 (weblogic.jar).
    Our database is Oracle 8.1.7.4. We want to upgrade to Oracle 9i (Oracle version
    9.2.0.4). I would like to know the compatibility of this built-in Driver for Weblogic
    6.1 with Oracle 9i (9.2.0.4) and can I continue to use the same JDBC driver. Also
    we have plans to upgrade our Weblogics to 8.1 version. Can we continue to use
    the same Oracle Thin driver that comes as part of WLS 8.1, for Oracle 9.2.0.4.
    I need this reply ASAP. I appreciate any help in this regard.
    Thanks, Venkatesan.

    Thank you very much for your reply.

    so I highly recommend that you download Oracle's latest appropriate

    the weblogic startup script creates for the server.
    Every release of weblogic will tend to include the latest oracle

    the 6.1.

  • ITunes for Windows freezes when importing a library. I have a large but not huge library of mostly iTunes purchased music on two authorized computers and would like to sync the files, export the library as a playlist, and import it on the other computer.

    I am running iTunes for Windows 10.2.2 on Windows 7 Home. I have my iTunes library on both this computer and another authorized machine running Windows 7 Professional. I have a large but not enormous library, as I'm one of those people who doesn't pirate, use torrents, borrow from a dozen friends, or whatever other shades of gray you might imagine. It's mostly iTunes purchases with my old CD collection imported. I have started using the following technique to sync my libraries between my two authorized computers, an ability which you can probably all agree should one day be added to iTunes -- that would be different from Home Sharing, because the music would be stored locally and thus available on the road. With the added benefit of the entire library being backed up on the other machine in real-time. Anyway, when I switch from my desktop to laptop and vice versa, I use the following technique:
    Connect both machines to the home network. One machine is the "Active" machine, which has most recently been used for iTunes media, purchases, ratings, etc.
    On the "Active" machine, File-->Library-->Export. Save the file as "Library.xml" on the shared drive of the other machine.
    Right-click "Library.xml" where it's been saved, and open another file that has two lines in it: The root path of the iTunes library on one machine and the root path of the iTunes library on the other machine.
    Do a find/replace all in Notepad to make the library XML file point to where the files will be saved on the "Inactive" machine.
    Run Microsoft SyncToy to synchronize the files between both music libraries; the most recent files win. This avoids copying the entire multi-gigabyte library over the network.
    Open iTunes on the "Inactive" machine.
    Go to Music, Select All, Delete. Keep files.
    Do the same for Movies, Music Videos.
    Go down to Playlists, select the top one, hold down the delete button until they're all gone.
    File-->Library-->Import Playlist. Choose the "Library.xml" file you saved.
    First a status bar comes up that says, "Importing library." It has the continually-scrolling progress bar, not the one that starts on the left and steadily creeps right. Then after about 30 seconds, that clears out. Wait. Typically a few minutes. Eventually a status bar will pop up saying something like, "Evaluating gapless playback information," or something like that.
    The "Inactive" computer is now the "Active" computer. I can now play my library, it has all my playlists and metadata from the other machine.
    Delete all the duplicate playlists named "Music," "Genius," "Purchased," and "iTunes DJ."
    Well, I just upgraded to iTunes 10.2.2 a few days ago and tried to do this again like I've done it dozens of times before. Now, iTunes just goes unresponsive after the library import. It got through the "Importing library" bar to the long wait and stopped. I can still multiprocess and use other programs, but iTunes is hovering back there not responding to clicks. Task Manager doesn't seem to think iTunes is using my CPU, and I don't see my hard drive rattling. Any thoughts on why iTunes might hang up when importing a large library?
    ... Also, please help lobby Apple to come up with a network sync tool built into iTunes for a user with multiple authorized computers. Something different than Home Sharing so I can pull my laptop off the network and still have the synced library with me. And all my metadata changes will sync. The technique I use seems a little kludgey, don't you think?

    iTunes isn't an editor. You need an app that's intended for editing audio files, like Adobe Audition (http://www.adobe.com/products/audition.html) or Audacity (free in the App Store).

  • HT1349 help  I would like to authorize my new laptop for my itunes library  I had 5 authorized computers on my account not sure which ones they were one of the autorized computers has crashed so i want to transfer all of my account history onto my compute

    my acct. shows that I have 5 authorized computers for my itunes acct.  not sure which 5 but I do know it is not my new laptop.  our main home computer that I use for managing and adding to my music library may have crashed .  so  I deauthorized all 5 computers (that was my only choice).  I was then hoping to authorize just one computer (my new lap top),  I was then hoping that my entire music library would then show up via my itunes/apple account   where is it ?
    How can I transfer my entire itunes acct. history onto my new lap top?  any suggestions?    or how can I recover my music library off of a potentially crashed computer?

    You can deauthorise all 5 at once, then reauthorize the one you want.
    Learn how to authorize or deauthorize your computer with your Apple ID.

    You need to log into iTunes on the computer you want to deauthorise. Otherwise, contact contact iTunes Store support to see if they can help.

  • HT1420 I have used up the amout of authorized computers for one account, however two of them have crashed. How can I deauthorize those two without having to deauthorize the other three?

    I have completed my list of 5 computers authorized. I am trying to authorize another one but I need to get rid of two authorized computers which hard disks have crashed. How can I deauthorize those two without affecting the other three?

    Individual computers can only be deauthorised directly on them, but if you've reached the 5 computer limit then you can log into your account and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then authorise/reauthorise the computers that you still have and need : authorising and deauthorising.

  • How to go beyond 5 authorized computers?

    I currently have a desktop, a laptop, an old laptop with a crashed hard drive that was authorized, an IPad2, and Ipod, and an IPhone and a desktop at work--all of this I want to authorize to share information across iTunes and the Cloud. This is 7 computers, and I'm planning on purchasing a Mac Pro laptop. How do you get past the limit of 5 authorized computers?  Is there something you can purchase to go beyond the limit of 5 or what?  And...why is there a limit of 5 in the first place?  My father has 7 computers (1 PC, and the rest are Macs).
    1)  Why is there a limit of 5? and
    2) how do you get past the limit of 5 if you have more than 5 computers you want to link together?

    As John has already said, it's an agreement with the record companies. At some stage, someone has decided that five is sufficient.
    There is an obvious question here though.
    Why do you need to put the same content onto all these different devices? What, for example, is the point of having the same music (or whatever) on a work computer as you have at home? Since Apps cannot be used on a computer, you don't need them on two different ones. Since you have an iPod - and an iPad, you have your iTunes Library with you, don't you? So why the desperate need to keep putting it somewhere else? You cannot Sync an iDevice with two different Libraries.
    One thing you do appear to have missed; you can deauthorise the laptop with the crashed hard drive. That will save you one device. (Actually of course, you need to deauthorise all and then re-authorise just the devices you want, up to five.)
    You may have noticed that I do not sympathise with your point of view. Personally, I don't see the need to ask Apple about this. If anyone needs to be asked anything (in my opinion), it's the record companies and the music business.
    Why don't they devise a replacement for the outdated concept of copyright?
    Why don't they allow us to pass our purchased music on to our family when we pass away?
    Why did a certain musician (drummer) believe he was entitled to accuse his fans of theft while he was sitting in luxury next to his swimming pool in front of his very large house?

  • IPhoto Slideshow set to Music - Music Played Only on "Authorized Computers"

    MacBook Pro, Mac OS X, v 10.5.8, iPhoto '08 v 7.1.5 (378). I made a slideshow picture presentation set to music and exported from iPhoto to a folder on my desktop in .mov format. iPhoto notified me that the three songs set to the picture slideshow would only be able to be played on "authorized computers."  This slideshow needs to be distro'd to my entire class, none of which are authorized users of my iTunes account. How do I bypass this so they will all have access to the music I set to the slideshow presentation?

    Use music that doesn't have a DRM on it.
    The problem arises because the these three tracks were purchased on the iTuns store and they are limited by the (then) licence on the store.

    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
