Computer already activated

iTunes 11.0.2.26:
When I connect my iPhone5 to iTunes and some snychronisation has to take place where I'm asked to "activate this computer", then I'm always wondering about the in formation I get after I have activated it.
I'm then told that "your computer is already activated...". Also I'm wondering why I have to activate it over and over again.
(NB: I'm using two of my own iTunes accounts - different Email - with this device).

Same here, any solutions?

VLM licenses "Already activated on another computer"?

I already had at least one user with this issue before receiving our recently renewed VLM license. We use VLM licenses in disconnected mode exclusively as most users or are located in satellite offices.
In the license manager on the end user's machine, the status says "Already activated on another computer". The Note says "Contained in a disconnected license" blah blah blah ...
The documentation says "Note Disconnected and home license files generated by NI Volume License Manager do not need to be activated.". However, these users keep getting asked to activate.

Julie,
National Instruments products' activation revolves around the Computer ID. The Computer ID is based on the physical (MAC) address of the network card by default. If either a network card is replaced or multiple network cards are present, the changing MAC addresses might result in unactivated software. You can confirm this by checking out the computer ID in the client computer's License manager and VLM on server. They probably no match each other.
In order to remedy this situation, contact National Instruments support (ni.com/ask) so that a Computer ID can be generated which is based on the hard drive serial number of your computer rather than the physical (MAC) address.

How to get Apple ID and password that is different to iTunes store account which I have already activated and completed contracts, tax information and bank information I want to create a Paid Books Account use apple ID

I was given this address from the Apple customer support team.
I have an active existing iTunes store account and use the same Apple ID for signing into my iTunes Connect Account that distributes Apps.
I have created some books using the iBook author and in order to distribute content on the iBookstore I have been told electronically that I need a new Apple ID and password that is different to iTunes store account which I have already activated and completed contracts, tax information and bank information valid until 2013?
I want to create a Paid Books Account using the same email address, tax information and bank information. This has been most frustrating, as I cannot get passed the sign in section and there is no contact person I can speak to. I was of the understanding the iTunes connect account and the Developer programs which I paid good money for is all what I needed to be paid for selling iBooks on the iBookstore???
I only have one email address and wish to also use it for the Paid Books Account. I have books ready to be exported and published.
I am also having trouble locating and downloading iTunes Producer. I understand I need to have the Paid Books Account active to access the iTunes Producer program. Please help.
See additional information below:
What device did you use to connect to the store? Mac computer
Which operating system is installed? Mac OS X v10.7.x
What version of iTunes is installed on your computer? iTunes 10.6
Choose the iTunes Store or App Store for your country: Other
Please select your country: Australia

Hi Lrwill,
If the apps that are on your son's iPad were purchased under his Dad's Apple ID, then signing your Apple ID onto the iPad will not help you with updating those apps.
Also, if the iPad was sync'd with his Dad's iTunes library, then hooking it up to your computer/iTunes library, will require you to reset the iPad, and everything that was loaded under the other Library and Apple ID will be wiped out.
Can you provide a little more info about what was set up under which Apple ID and what iTunes library the iPad was sync'd with?
Cheers,

ITunes not syncing "computer not activated"

iTunes will not sync anything (apps, music, books) i bought on the ipad. It keeps telling me that my "PC is not activated". But after activating my PC in "Settings", it tells me that my PC is already activated....and the initial message "PC not activated" reappears. The Apple-Hotline had nor answer for me at all.
As a first time Apple buyer, i expected it to be less frustrating than the usual stuff. Seems i was wrong!!

Im having the same problem with my computer. Its really annoying as I cannot back up or sync my iphone to my itunes

When iWorks for iCloud Beta become available I subscribed to it. After that I become unable to access iCloud at all as in all my devices I get messages to install it and other apps (find my phone, etc) that are already active. Anyone could help?

The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

ITunes requests activation of a compter even if it is already activated

After starting the syncronisation my iPhone with my computer I get the message that my computer is not activated. I press the activation button, enter in another dialog my APID and my password and then I obtained the message that my computer is already activated. What is the reason? How can I check which computers are activated? How can I not deactivate existing computers?

Hey Nunuf,
To answer the question about how to checking how many authorizations your Apple ID has, the following article will assist with that. It is an older article but the steps are the same.
How many computers are authorized to play music from my account?
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22652
As for giving further troubleshooting, you may want to deauthorize and authorize again. Another thing to think about is that there may be purchases in your library that are not associated with your Apple ID but another one.

Already activated on two computers?

I have Creative Cloud on my stationary computer at work, and also on my laptop. I just got a new laptop and tried to install Creative Cloud (and PS, ID and so on) on the new laptop. And I get a message that I already activated the licens on two other computers - even if I just un-installed all Adobe-products on my old laptop. What to do?

Cannot log in to Mozilla Support. It won't accept my username or password. Reset password email says my account is already activated.

Tried accessing Mozilla Support Forums for Firefox Desktop Support, which I have used many times. It would not accept my username and password, claiming they were incorrect. I tried the Password Reset feature, which opened a window saying that accounts created before December 2010 may have issues logging in. Please reset your password below. It instructs me to enter my email address so that it can send me instructions for setting a new password. I enter my email address. It says we've sent an email to any account using this address. Please follow the link in the email to reset your password. I go to my email. Nothing is there. I wait, but still nothing.
I go back to the sign in page, and click on the link - I didn't get a confirmation email - under Login Problems. A new window opens which tells me that to activate my account I must first confirm my email address. I reenter my email address. I get an email from Mozilla right away, telling me that my account is already activated, and it gives me a link to log in. I click on that link. I enter my username and password again. Same error message denying me access and telling me to enter a correct username and password. I try this a couple more times with no success. Same repeating errors.
So I try to create a NEW account using a different username with my email address. It will not let me do that. It says that email address is already taken, and it will not allow me to proceed. I ultimately had to set up a new account with an email address that I never use, just so I could access the Help features. I am exasperated. I do not want to post my Questions using an email address that I do not use, and have to open another application to even access. I want to be able to receive a message from Mozilla in my normal everyday email address, if someone has replied to my post. But since Mozilla will not let me use my existing email address for the new account I set up, I cannot do that.
This is very frustrating. Mozilla will not allow me access to my original user account that was already set up with my preferred email address. And Mozilla won't let me create a new user account with my preferred email address. Now I am stuck with a new user account that is linked to an email address that I never use and which is not easily accessible to me. As a last resort, I access my new user account in hopes that it will allow me to change the email address that is linked to the account, but of course, that is not an option.
Can someone please help me to access my original account with my original username and password? If a password reset is necessary, then I should not be getting a reply email telling me my account is already activated (see below). If it is activated, then why can't I log in? What is going on? Please help me. Thank you.
It seems your account has already been activated.
You can log in at:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/users/login
Thanks!
The support.mozilla.org team}

I use only support.mozilla.org and never used any other websites. However, the same problem here. My ID and Password are not accepted. Had to create a new account with a temporary email to use Support - it would not allow me to use my main email, because "it is used by another account". Try to reset password - receive no email (even though there is a confirmation on the website that email to reset password has been sent). At the same time can easily receive a confirmation about User ID and account activation. Thus, the account is completely locked, and I can not use my email address for a new one. Please fix this problem.

Cannot deploy EAR. There are already active sessions

Hi WebDyn Pro's,
I'm running NW SP14
Sporadically, I cannot deploy my WebDynpro app to the NW server. In NWDS, I indicate to Deploy and run. I get an error in the console indicating:
"Cannot log in. There are already active sessions. Session id 0 An administrator logged in via API /"
I restarted the server and the NWDS workstations but that didn't help. I've had this same error in the past. Usually it goes away. I thought I solved it, but evidently not.
On the NW server, I cannot log into SDM GUI either. I get the same error.
As mentioned above, this error occurs sporadically. I can deploy just fine 50 times. And then all of sudden I start getting this error, even though no one has touched the server.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi,
Have you checked if anyone else is actually using SDM to deploy?
There are some quite significant deployment tasks that my basis team perform which will occupy the SDM tool for a long time and stop me and my other developers from deploying anything.
I've also caused this problem myself when my SDM deployment has stalled - I've been deploying a custom B2B .ear file and the deployment has just got stuck in processing for ages. In the end I've had to kill the SDM task from Windows Task Manager but this causes SDM to think someone is still logged in so I've then had to restart the SDM service from the SAP Management Console.
If this is not the case I'd suggest raising it through OSS if you can't find any relevant messages on there.
Hope this helps,
Gareth Ryan.

[SOLVED] "Server is already active for display 0" in Terminals

So far, my searches haven't yielded any solutions to this.
When my system starts, it boots to a console login prompt (no gdm, etc...) and I have 'startx' in my .bashrc to start my desktop. The desktop starts and functions fine (or so it seems).
Problem 1: Anytime I open a Terminal window (or open new tabs inside a Terminal) I am greeted with the following:
Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
and start again.
Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support
at http://wiki.x.org
for help.
xinit: Server error.
Sometimes the last line is:
xinit: unexpected signal 2
Usually I just ^C to get a working prompt and go about my business, but this is getting really annoying.
Problem 2: I use Guake terminal and have it set to autostart in my .bashrc, but it doesn't work until I manually open a Terminal window. And if I close that (manually opened) window, Guake stops working. If I open another one manually, it works again...etc. I have a hunch this is related to the first problem.
Any nudges in the right direction would be appreciated.

Why do you need a new account?
Use the same account on both.
How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer

Urgent!! "This iphone is already activated. You may disconnect disconnect..

I have two laptops and 1 iphone:
Home - Macbook Pro
Work - Windows 7 netbook
iPhone - First hand, bought from my own service provider, never drop on the ground or goes into water
I only sync my iPhone 4 with my mac before. 3 days ago I updated iPhone firmware to 4.3, updated iTunes 10.2.1 in my mac, and installed iTunes 10.2.1 on my work laptop as well. I tried to connect my iPhone to my work laptop to see if everything works well. And I also back up and sync my phone before and after the iPhone firmware was updated. Everything seems fine.
2 days ago, I was playing games on my iPhone. My phone was suddenly being laggy. I rebooted my phone and then I tried to sync my iPhone with my mac as usual. However, a message pops up saying "This phone is already activated. You may disconnect disconnect this iPhone." every time when I connect my iPhone to my mac. So I pressed ok, but the phone kinda automatically ejects by itself from my mac iTunes. (i.e. iTunes no longer connects to my iPhone. iTunes doesnt even show the iPhone page and I cannot even restore my phone.)
Yesterday I tried to restore my phone with my mac and my work laptop by putting it into DFU mode.
1. After I restored the phone with my mac, I restored the back up with my work laptop after. After the phone was activated through windows iTunes, I connect the phone back to my mac and the same message pops up again saying "This phone is already activated. You may disconnect disconnect this iPhone."
2. After I restored the phone with my mac, I simply set it as a new iPhone. After the phone was activated through mac iTunes, the same message pops up again.
3. I restored iPhone with my work laptop. The phone stays connected with windows iTunes. After the phone was restored and set as a new iPhone, the phone was activated but no such message pops out. I can sync my iPhone like normal. No more automatic disconnection.
I tried to remove mac iTunes 10.2.1 and downgrade it to 10.2, but the same problem occurs every time when I connect my phone to my mac.
Since my work laptop is a netbook, the capacity is pretty small. I dont think my work laptop can always keep the 9GB back up of my phone, but the face is that I cannot lose all the stuffs in my phone. The best would be my phone being able to sync with my mac again.
... Could someone help with this problem? Or is there any like technical support? Is there anyone who have the same problem as well?

Try this:
For Mac OS X users:
Make sure iTunes isn’t running and then open Terminal.
In Terminal, enter a command:
To turn activation-only mode on: defaults write com.apple.iTunes StoreActivationMode -integer 1
To turn activation-only mode off: defaults delete com.apple.iTunes StoreActivationMode
For Windows users:
Make sure iTunes isn’t running, and then open a Command Prompt window.
Enter a command:
To turn activation-only mode on: "C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe" /setPrefInt StoreActivationMode 1
To turn activation-only mode off: "C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe" /setPrefInt StoreActivationMode 0

Verizon - Service already active issue

Hi,
I'm having issues with an iPad that I bought a couple of months ago. I bought it and I've never used the Verizon data plan and recently tried to enter all my details to use it and I started getting in the mess that Verizon has created for iPad. I get this dialog when I try to view account in Cellular data setting. It says "Your ipad is already active on a subscription that cannot be managed on this device". What does this mean? I've spent more than 12 hours cumulatively between customer reps and the store guys but they keep pointing me to one another and no one has resolved it. I spoke to an apple rep and he said that it's a Verizon issue and they can't do anything. I'm wondering why did I pay around $900 to buy a piece that doesn't do what it should do. What are my options now? Help please I'm super frustrated but I'm trying keep my calm.
-Kalyan.

Spoke to cust rep and got a new sim card which resolved this issue
