Computer Stolen. Need Stolen Computer to Deauthorize devices? Help?
MacPro computer Stolen. New MacPro purchase. Itunes will not authorize because more than 5 devices authorized. Must find stolen computer to deauthorize all devices. Don't have stolen computer. Some miserable low life stole it. How can I authorize my new computer?
You don't need the other computer for that:
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.

Need to rename my handheld device to match my computer.
I bought a new Palm Z22 and I apparently named it differently than the old Palm I had set up on my computer. I want to transfer my info from my computer to my new Palm and my computer does not recogize the name. I'm not very computer savy so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Post relates to: Palm Z22You have 2 options for this. You can hard reset the handheld to get it back to factory condition and erase the username. The hard reset will erase all data on the handheld.
Another option is to erase the username on the device.

Itunes content and pics are NOT part of the backup that itunes performs.
Backing up, updating, and restoring iPad, iPod touch, and iPhone software
You should transfer any purchases from iphone regularly: File>Transfer Purchases , if they fail to be transferred when you sync.
You buy one and only one download. It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your purchases.
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

IPod touch 4g is not recognized in my computer as a portable device, help?
I have an iPod Touch 4th generation (4.2.1) and the computer it was initially synced with (a Dell Inspiron laptop) is no longer working. I would like to update the iPod software via iTunes, and I have already transferred purchases and backed up my iPod, but now I need to secure my music before it restores my iPod and I am left with none of my music from my Dell laptop.
I know that I can easily transfer my songs from my iPod to a folder on my computer just as long as I can actually get my iPod to show up in "My Computer" under "Portable Devices". But as of now, my iPod only shows up as a "Digital Camera".
Please, someone, anyone, HOW CAN I GET MY IPOD 4G TO SHOW UP UNDER "MY COMPUTER > PORTABLE DEVICES?"
I have been working at this for HOURS, I just want to update my iPod and keep all of my music, I don't think this is "illegal", nor should it be so difficult to simply secure music from a previous PC.
Thanks in advance.Did you already try these suggestions? iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

My iPad told me to update the iOS software. When I did, I immediately got a message that looks like it is telling me to connect the iPad to iTunes. When I do this, my computer recognizes the device as an "iPhone" that needs an update. This is not a phone, it's the iPad. I've tried rebooting with the off and circle button thing, but nothing works. Any advice?
1. Make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
2. Try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
3. Make sure your lead /connections are not faulty.
4. If you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
5. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
6. If using Widows, make sure all Windows Updates are installed.
7. Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 for Windows and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 for Macs
8. And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -

My Iphone5C shows plug and arrow pointing to Itunes symbol but when i plug into computer it says device not recognized
That screen is telling you the iPhone has gone into recovery mode, and you need to use the recovery mode instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 to attach to a computer running iTunes. Summary of instructions:

Computer Crashed - Deauthorize an old computer
I now have 2 computers that have crashed and no longer useful. How do I deauthorize these computers?
I can find no help in this area.
ThansYou need to be on the computer to deauthorize it.
However, once you have reached 5 authorizations, you have an option to deauthorize all 5 at once. This can only be done one time per year.
