Besides iTunes and Adobe, what needs to be de-authorized

I'm getting set to buy a new Macbook Pro. Before making the move, I know that I need to de-authorize my old laptop for both iTunes and Adobe products. Are there other common programs that require this? Filemaker? Microsoft?

You don't need to 'de-authorize" Filemaker or Microsoft, but you should remove them from the computer.
Cheers

  • Safari, itunes, and Adobe Reader wont start up on iBook G4

    I have an iBook G4 that I purchased from a friend a few months ago that seemed to be working fine up until two days ago. Now for almost no reason at all, Safari, itunes and Adobe reader will not open anymore. Can someone please help me?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Did your friend give you the system discs for the machine? If not, get them. Then see if you can boot from the Tiger disc and repair your boot drive.
    Also, you can go to Disk Utility and try repairing permissions. If you have downloaded software and not done this, there will likely be many permissions to repair. Downloading can change permissions, and it is good practice to repair permissions after downloading software.
    While in Disk Utility, check the SMART status of the drive. If it says anything other than "verified", the drive is on the way out. It may also be on the way out even if DU says that SMART is verified.
    If you can get the discs, also see if you can find the Apple Hardware Test and boot to it and run the extended version of it.
    Does the iBook still have its original hard drive? If so, the drive could be beginning to fail. If that's the case, you will need to replace it.
    This is just a place to start. Report back with how it goes.
    Good luck!

  • HT4623 I was updating my i5 phone and now it shows picture of iTunes and plug what am I todo as I can't use the phone?

    I Was updating my i5 phone and it shows picture of iTunes and plug what am I to do?
    i Can't use my phone and shutting on and off won't help.

    Plug it into iTunes like it shows. It should tell you it has found a phone in recovery mode. You will need to restore the phone.

  • What are "videos" besides itunes and imovie projects?

    My system information says i have 76 GB in videos but I only have four movies and two TV shows on iTunes and no imovie projects/other large videos? What else could "videos" entail. Trying to free up some memory space. Thanks.

    Where are you looking?  When I look under System Preferences > About This Mac > More Info > Storage, I see a category called "Movies" but no category called "Videos".  So I cannot imagine where you're looking.

  • Error Messages for iTunes and Quicktime, what do I do?

    Hello, I'm in need of some help.
    Let me walk you all through what I did for the last 4 hours:
    (important note: I suck at far too much computer stuff, so I am fully aware that as you read the following, at certain points I probably made the problem much worse than it needed to be, I am not proud of this, but everything you read did happen, stupid as it probably was for me to pursue the problems in the particular way that I did. Hindsight is 20/20.)
    I updated my iTunes v7.7 to v8.0 today, and after trying it out for a while decided that I didn't like it and wanted to go back to what I was using before.
    So, because I didn't know what else to do, I tried to re-install the original iTunes software that came with my iPod (a 20gig classic I bought in 2004). That version of iTunes was v6.0 (again, 3 years ago).
    Part way through the installation process, I got a message that said that, because I had a newer version of iTunes on the computer already, it wouldn't install the version on the disk.
    So I uninstalled v8.0, restarted my computer, and installed the v6.0 from the CD-ROM I had.
    It was then that I found I had NONE of the 6000+ songs in my iTunes window. I checked my computers files to find that they were still in the library, but my iTunes screen was completely devoid of all my music.
    So I tried to get it all back on the player. I discovered that by right-clicking "Play" for the individual files from the folders in my iTunes that they would come up on the player, but that meant that I'd be clicking in 6000+ songs, one by one, till they were all back. I didn't want to do that.
    So I tried a system restore (again, read "important note" at top of post). After that happened and I was looking at my desktop again, tried opening iTunes, and it gave me a message that said:
    "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    And it asks if I wanna send an error report. I decline, then try opening Quicktime. Same message. So I try to uninstall both programs (i know, i know, "important note"), and iTunes uninstalls, Quicktime does not, because, as my computer puts it, "a fatal error occurs."
    But since I have iTunes uninstalled, I go to apples site and download iTunes v8.0 again. After waiting for all that to get done, I get the same error message.
    So I peruse this very discussion forum, and after looking for a good while at what is being recommended I go to a site and download v7.7 again.
    Again, I get the same error message.
    So here I am. I've tried working it out myself for the last 4 hours, and I seem to have made things worse.
    So please, please, PLEASE, I ask for any help you can provide.
    Can I get my iTunes back?
    Is my Quicktime corrupted now?
    Am I totally screwed?

    I had the same problem when I went to upgrade to 8 and then downgrade back to 7.7. To fix this is a little involved, but you can do it. Let me put it this way, I talked my mother through it on the phone, and she has a hard time finding the power button So no worries, I'll help you get back up and running. I am running Vista now, so I am going off of memory for Vista, so bear with me.
    I would do the following:
    1. Uninstall both iTunes and Quicktime by going to Control Panel-Add Remove Programs, and choosing first Quicktime then iTunes.
    2. Clean your registry. Easy now, it is not that hard. To do it, go to http://www.ccleaner.com/download and download CCleaner. It is free and has NO spyware. Install it and run the registry cleaner. It will remove any trace of both programs from the registry. Now you have 2 choices.
    3a. Now I would install iTunes 8. Because you already installed it once, it converted its database file that it uses to track the library and play lists up to the iTunes 8 standard.
    3b. If you have no problem loosing your playlists and library settings, you can go back to iTunes 7.7. To do this, first search for "itunes.ttl". To do this, go to Start-Search Files and Folders- and type in "iTunes.ttl" Once the search finishes, it will tell you where it is located. Navigate there using Windows Explorer or My Computer and delete it. Now you can install iTunes 7.7 with out any errors. You will not loose any files! just your playlists and it will not remember what is in your library.
    As far as adding your songs again, did you try to re-importing your music? If you go to the file menu-add folder to library. It will bring up a dialogue box that will allow you to browse to the folder with your music.
    Let me know if this works. I will help in anyway I can.
    Good Luck,

  • All my old pusrshased apps have dissapeard from iTunes and AppStore, what can I do?

    All my old pusrshased and even the free apps have dissapeard from iTunes and AppStore, theres only ten apps that appear on the list, what can I do?

    This suddenly happened overnight and you haven't touched your devices since you last saw the apps, or have you been doing things that might indicate a cause for this?
    If you really haven't done anything at all and these are old, old apps and they were withdrawn by the distributors then perhaps they are gone (which is why you need to make your own backup of everything you buy and not rely upon it always being on the Apple  site).

  • My iPad is disabled after forgetting my password,connected to iTunes and said I needed to key in pass code but I forgot it wht do I do

    Pls help I have disabled my iPad after forgetting my password I have plugged into iTunes and it says type in passcode but I don't know it

    If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode or Just Need to Restore Your Device
      1. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
      2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
      3. iOS- Understanding passcodes
         If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
         below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
         simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
         same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
    A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
    If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
             option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
             necessary to create another.
         7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
             you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
         8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
             logo while starting up:
               After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
              to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
              iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
              you see "iPhone is activated."
         9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
              backup to restore, then restore as New.
    If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.

  • Can play music in itunes and on ipod in imovie says not authorized

    Hi I have purchased several songs in itunes and when I attempt to add them to movies in imovie it says that the computer is not authorized. I authorize the computer and itunes states it was successful return to imovie and then get the same message. I have deauthorized and reauthorized the computer and still no luck.
    Any thoughts?

    Yes, I have this problem as well. I have synced and re-synced an entire library three times now (which is not easy when you have almost 10k tracks to upload) and the same issue occurs on some tracks, but not others. I can't really see a commonality amongst the files to figure out why the ipod won't play the songs. They play fine on Itunes and when the unit itself is hooked up to my computer, but not if you are just listening to it from the Ipod. Strange...hope somebody can answer this question soon...the problem is really irritating.

  • I'am using iPhone4 linked with iTunes on Windows7. Now my wife also gets an iPhone and will use it with iTunes on Mac. Can we use the same iTunes account? What needs to be considered (pros/cons)?

    Who can help?

    Yes, you both can use the same iTunes account, and many users do this. The SLA permits the sharing of iTunes content among up to 5 family members in the same household. Make sure you first authorize your wife's computer: Store>Authorize this Computer.
    However, your wife will need her own Apple ID(verifiable email address), for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc. You can create an Apple ID here:

  • HT1918 Not sure why I was directed to an article that explains something my 7 year old daughter can do.My problem is a ghost apple ID popping up in other apps besides itune and not even my ID.Where is the article about dead IDs haunting my Ipod?

    I was directed to this ridiculous article that was zero help. My problem is a ghost apple id from an account dead and gone.Ever since I created a new apple id I have been haunted by the ghost of accounts past.It creeps out of the closet and shows up in all sorts of apps asking for a password that I do not, nor did I ever know. Then I updated and synced my ipod touch with my pc-thats when it really hit the fan! I cant update apps or buy songs without giving them this password IDK. I am logged in w/ MY apple ID but when I go to purchase or update- this ghost id slams up to thwart my plans. what the flapjacks is going on? I understand I purchased these apps w/ this old id but the psswrd of that id was changed (it was my sons) after I created my own to use.He initially set up the ipod for me as a gift.Now he is out of the country and I have no idea what the old id's new password is.and why should I? when I have an id that was working fine?

    This makes sense to me. I think the issue is your misunderstanding. If you purchased an item, your Apple ID becomes tied to that permanently. So when you try to update that app, you need the password to the ID that 'OWNS' that application.
    Also, I suspect you have a different ID signed into the device, which is why you can't buy with your own. That article listed shows how to change the signed in account.

  • Itunes and Adobe Photoshop

    I am making a slideshow in Adobe Photoshop and would like to sync it with a song from my Itunes. I've gone to 'my music' then 'Itunes' then 'Itunes music' and at this point I see all of the artists but once I click on the artist their file opens up blank. At the bottom the only file types it will accept are mp3, wav, and wma. Can anybody help me? Sorry if I am being too vague. TIA!

    You can't make a direct format change on a store urchase because of the protection on the file. What you can do is burn your purchase to an audio CD, that audio CD can be used in the same manner you might use any CD that you would purchase at your local store.

  • I am currently trying to sync my new iphone 5 but itunes keeps saying it cannot find my phone, but i can click my phone in itunes and see what is on it.

    I synced my iphone 5s but i want to sync it again but an error message keeps saying my phone isn't connected even though it is.

    First, check if your Mac is supported > http://support.apple.com/kb/sp575
    If your Mac is supported, buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard After buying Snow Leopard, I recommend you to make a Time Machine backup and/or a clone with Carbon Copy Cloner, so in case the upgrade fails, you will be able to recover your data.
    After that, insert the DVD and upgrade. The disc will install Mac OS X 10.6.3, so open  > Software Update to update to 10.6.8. You may need to run Software Update again after updating in order to install iTunes 11.0.1, so you will be able to sync the iPhone

  • My ipod is asking my to connect to itunes and restore. what do i do?

    I was using my iPod and it went blank all of a sudden and re started. But after the apple logo appears it shows a connect to iTunes sign. My only option is to restore. But i have no back up.

    Then you will have to restore to factory defaults/new iPod. Something is wrong with the current content on the iPod. You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Had to wipe my harddrive, reloaded itunes now can not put stuff on my iphone, says i have to sync with new itunes and delete what i have on phone even when i try to switch to manual

    anyway i can sync without losing everything i have on there?

    You cannot.
    This si the way the iphone works.
    You need to use your backup copy top put everything back on your computer.
    Certainly you did not wipe your hard drive without making sure that your backup copy of your computer was current.
