Cannot share library... "must deauthorize other computer".  I don't have another computer to deauthorize?

I recently replaced my Dell desktop, wherre I had originally downloaded my itunes.  Purchased a Mac book and authorized to share music... no problem.  Just downloaded itunes onto new dell (which holds the main itunes library) and attempted to 'share' library with another home laptop computer but get a message that says 'five computers authorized, must deauthorize computer'.  Problem is, I no longer have the original dell to deauthorize and I just have another authorization on the mac book. 
How can I deauthorize a computer I no longer have?

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.

  • Your firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible. Firefox will not open and I don't have another internet program on my computer. How can I get the profile back?

    Everytime I try to open firefox on my desktop it says "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." So now I cannot open firefox at all and I can't figure out how to get a profile. I just had to delete some programs to gain memory on my system and that is when the problem started. I don't have another internet program

    Hi crmn,
    Have you looked at the Knowledge Base article [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]? There are steps in there that might help you. You might just want to create a new profile and start fresh.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • ITunes 7.0.1,  Still cannot share library

    Even with the latest update, I still cannot share my library between my Windows PC and my PowerPC iBook. I've never had a problem with this before on previous versions of iTunes before the nightmare that is iTunes 7.
    I have turned off all firewalls including the built in Windows firewall (it was off anyway) and I still get the firewall error message. The Windows version gives me a variety of error codes. The PowerPC version just tells me I need to open the non-existant firewall to port:_. It lists no port number.
    (OH, and BTW the first thing my Mac did after installing the new "stability" update 7.0.1 was to CRASH iTunes)
    I am using an Airport Express for this....do I need to do something special in my Airport setup?
    Anyone fixed this issue?

    Self built PC   Windows XP Pro   also PowerPC iBook

    This is a problem that Apple is not addressing. There are several discussion threads on this. My sharing, like yours, worked perfectly with Itunes 6 and stopped as soon as I upgraded to 7. Version 7.0.1 does not fix the problem. I have turned off the Windows firewall on both machines and still get that error message. For some reason, we are not on Apple's radar. Here are a few threads on this topic:

  • My music Library on my other computer

    I just copied my music library (legally) to my other computer. Both are with Windows. I now have them in my music folder and it has been divided into maybe 30 different folders with maybe 30 songs in each folder. They are labeled F00, F01, F02, etc. The songs inside each have new names - what seems to be random letters FTPS, QEOV, etc. I thought I read in the directions to be sure to click "copy files to itunes music folder when adding to library". I did that.
    What I've done is gone to each of these strangely labeled songs, right clicked, and clicked on "open with", and then "itunes". This seems to move the strangely labeled song out of this music folder and correctly labels it in the actual itunes library list (and also plays the song). It seems like this is what I want, but I'd rather not have to do this with 1000+ individual songs. Is there any way to do this for an entire folder at once?
    Dell Optiplex GX270   Windows XP  

    OK, thank you. I'd like to do it all over like you said. The unclear part to me is this paragraph:
    Now you're going to have to move the info to the new computer. If you have an external hard drive, drag the iTunes folder, located within My Documents\My Music onto it. If you have a network set up, copy the iTunes folder to a location that can be accessed by the new computer.
    Do I need to do anything differently when I use my iPod as the hard drive? The way I did it before was by opening itunes on the new computer, opening preferences (so it wouldn't try to sync), and then copying from the iPod. Is that the way to use the iPod as a hard drive?
    Sorry - i'm not totally clear on this.

  • I also am having problems creating cd cover. When I try to print onlt text comes out picture art is 1 big black square. cannot load library error shows up 126. Do anyone have a solution for this problem?

    Having problem creating cd cover.When I try to print one out only text print no picture. Error message appears "cannot load library"LXBBPRP,DLL Default error126. Anyone have a solution to this problem?

    One other note I do have parallels installed but not running on both machines.
    Make sure on both machines that even if Parallels is not running that the two VPNs it creates in System Preferences > Network are set to Off.
    Also make sure that in System Preferences > Sharing that Internet Sharing is nnot ON.
    Later you will have to adjust the Parallels setting to NOT Share the Mac IP.

  • TA38571 I can STREAM, but I cannot SYNC (I don't have another library linked to my Apple TV)

    I can only STREAM, but I cannot SYNC
    Note: I do NOT have another itunes library linked to my Apple TV
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your library has become a secondary (streaming only) library only (it is possible to turn syncing off by ctrl-clicking on the Apple TV listing in the device list and choosing 'Turn Off Syncing" from the contextual menu) and you need to reconnect your library as a primary library.
    Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

    How to install iOS 6

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and antivirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
    How to Upgrade to iOS 7
    The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
    There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
    To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
    Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
    Go into the iPad's Settings.
    Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
    The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
    Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
    Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
    To upgrade using iTunes:
    First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
    You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
    Now you are ready to begin the process:
    If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
    Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
    After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
    If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
    After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
    From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
    After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
    After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Issue Migrating iTunes Library to NAS - ... you don't have permission...

    I have set up a Buffalo Linkstation Duo Nas with 2TB of usable space (4TB Raid 1) on my home network and it seems to be working fine.
    I created a Share folder for Video (which I don't use with iTunes) and another for iTunes Media.
    The 600GB of Video that I had on my Mac Pro transferred over just fine, but I am having trouble migrating my iTunes Media over.
    According to some posts I've read, the best way to do so is to point iTunes to the new disk in Preferences, then and then do a:
    File>Library>Organize Library>tick Consolidate Files>OK
    This was going smoothly until about a half hour (5GB) into the transfer (of ~200GB) and I got an error dialog that says:
    "Copying files failed, because you don't have permission to change your iTunes Media Folder or a folder within it."
    (the comma is iTunes' typo, not mine)
    It doesn't say whether the issue is with the new iTunes Media Folder or the original one.
    After using Get Info to check the permissions on the iTunes Media Folder and all the folders immediately inside of it, they all seemed to be read/writable by me.
    I ran a Permissions Repair on my main HD with the original iTunes library, but that didn't help.
    I can manually copy files to the NAS drive and the shared folder to which I'm attempting place the new iTunes Media Library. So I don't think it is an issue with the NAS.
    ... and yes, I've tried switching everything off and on.
    Would anyone like to take a guess as to what the issue with the permission would be?
    -or-
    Can I just manually copy everything over to the NAS and then redirect iTunes to the new folder?
    Judging by what did transfer over to the NAS, iTunes seems to be reorganizing a few of the folders and things so it would be nice to let iTunes do the migrating... but... whatever works is fine.

    Solved independently.
    I had some videos that were not being managed by iTunes on an external drive which had screwy permissions.... so it wasn't the iTunes Media Folder that was the permission issue, but the oddball folder on a faulty drive.
    I removed the offending videos from iTunes and tried again. The entire library consolidated nicely onto the NAS drive (took 18 hrs. though)
    Now I just need to figure out the best way to share that library with all the computers on the network. From what I've been reading, it is not as simple as just pointing all the Macs' iTunes to the iTunes Folder on the NAS drive - There are artwork issues and problems with using the same Library simultaneously between Macs.
    .... But that's for another discussion.

  • In the lefthand sidebar of Finder, under 'Shared', I encounter in addition my TC, another computer, identified by a long name starting with 'hp'. I don't have another computer. What could this be? And how to get rid of it?

    In the Finder sidebar, under 'Shared', I encounter my TC, as well as another item with a long name starting with 'hp'. 'Get info' shows it to be a 'PC'. However, I don't have a PC. It cannot be my printer (HP), since that has anoter name.
    I can not access the item, which has me a 'guest'.
    What could this item be? And how to get rid of it?
    Many thanks in advance for your help.
    DB

    It's almost certainly your hp printer and is showing the WiFi adapter MAC address after the HP.
    To verify, look at the printer configuration page via Bonjour in Safari.  The settings tab shows the Mac address in the bottom left hand corner for my model of HP printer.
    I'm sorry but I can't explain why that would show up in the finder.

    Hi HB3207!
    I have a couple of suggestions for you to attempt to resolve this issue. First, I would try re-creating your iTunes library following the instructions listed here:
    iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
    You may also need to simply try restarting your phone and attempting to sync again after a restart. Information on completing this can be found here:
