Catch 22 Can't deauthorize computers with my iPad

I had downloaded an app onto my iPad. When I connected it to iTunes it asked me if I wanted to activate this computer to be able to add the app to the apps in iTunes. I confirmed that, entered my password and got the error message that I had activated my account already on 5 computers and I should deactivate one of the other computers.
When I checked my account in iTunes it showed that 4 machines are authorized.
Dear iTunes programmers: do I have 4 or 5 computers activated?
And how can I activate this computer if I can't deauthorize the others?

send an email to the iTS customer service using this form and ask the folks there to help you sort it out.

    BHow can I deauthorize computers if I don't have any of them anymore

    You need to deauthorize all computers and then reauthorize the ones you still have. See the quote below from Deauthorize your computer using iTunes - Apple Support
    My computer doesn't work anymore. Can I deauthorize it?
    You can't deauthorize a single computer if you don't have it or can't use it. Instead, you need to deauthorize all computers and then reauthorize the ones you're still using.

  • Can you use IMAP with the ipads mail feature?

    Can you use IMAP with the ipads mail feature?

    Kappy,
    Yes, our domain and email accounts are on a server that does accept IMAP. Also, our mac mini and imacs are all set up for IMAP. Buying an ipad will enable me to work from home during this winter.
    Another ?: do you know if you can use text edit with the iPads mail feature? Reason being we have about 100 generic emails that all we have to do is change a few fields before sending out. Can this be integrated in without having to recreate all these messages?

    To use itunes 10.7 you need to have Snow Leopard operating system installed
    These are the system requirements
    System Requirements:
    Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of memory
    5GB of available disk space
    DVD drive for installation
    Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply.
    If you can run Snow Leopard you need to purchase it

  • I have an ipad2 can i change it with new ipad without charge?, I have an ipad2 can i change it with new ipad without charge?

    Hi,i have an ipad 2 can i change it with new ipad without pey charge ?

    No. Apple does not do trade-ins. Sell the iPad 2 and use the money
    toward an iPad 4. If you are still within the return window of the retailer
    where you purchased the iPad 2, return it and buy an iPad 4.

  • My pc is down and I'm trying to put a wep for this router so no one can use my internet but me. Is there anyway I can set a password with an iPad as I don't have a desktop or laptop?

    My pc is down and I'm trying to put a wep for this router so no one can use my internet but me. Is there anyway I can set a password with an iPad as I don't have a desktop or a laptop. Please help.

    The AirPorts, unlike routers provided by other manufacturers, do not provide a web-based administration interface ... so the PS3 or any browser would not work.

  • Can I go online with my ipad using my iphone connection?

    Can I go online with my ipad using my iphone connection?

    If your phone carrier supports it (and it may be an extra fee/subscription), then yes you can use the iPhone's personal hotspot function to share its connection with the iPad - the iPad should see the phone as a wifi network.

  • Can ARD be used with the ipad 2?

    Can ARD be used with the ipad 2?

    No, neither as a client or as the adminstrator station. There are apps that allow you to take control of another computer from your iPad, if that's your interest, and other apps/service, such as LogMeIn Ignition, that allow you to do more administration functions from your iPad or, as with the Casper suite from JAMF Software, manage your iPad from another system.
    Regards.

  • How can I deauthorize computers that I no longer own or have access to?

    I need to deauthorize computers that I no longer own or have access to. How can I do this?
    Thanks

    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.
    For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.

  • I can't deauthorize computers in my account.

    Hi, I need help. I've already used up all available 5 authorizations for computers with my apple id. Now that I got a new pc, I cannot deauthorize any of those previous computers. I followed the instructions step by step on how to deauthorize; also googled for answers but in vain.
    Everytime I click on 'deauthorize all' I get the error: "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-1202)" Now I'm stuck with this and I really need to sync my iPhone.
    Please help me on this. I'm quite sure there must be some way to solve this. Guys! Apple! Need help here. I do no want to switch to another apple id; I will lose all my purchases.

    Check your computer's date and time and time zone selection. If incorrect, correct it followed by restarting your computer.

  • Can't deauthorize computers even though max amount of computers are used

    I can't play a lot of my music after switching to a new computer, a pop up in iTunes says I have 5 computers already authorized. But when I go to my iTunes account it says I only have 4 authorized and therefore can't deauthorize any so I'm stuck without my music!

    I have a similar problem, but I believe a different cause. Yes, I replaced 4 macs in the past 2 1/2 years, and neglected to deauthorize any of them. I've been using the same .mac account since 2007. I cannot deauthorize these discarded/broken machines, and worse, I can't play some songs purchased legitimately through iTunes, as Apple never merged the information from my old ISP email accounts to my current one, the .mac account. I must have at least three old email accounts, including 2 .mac, that I cannot remember.
    Because one cannot reach a human over iTunes matters, I'm stuck, unless someone here has an answer.

  • Which iphone can you pair/tether with an ipad 2

    As far as I am aware, there is no tethering with any mobile phone or iPhone with iPad.
