De-authorising ipad

My main pc had a catastrophic failure, and I decided to replace it with a laptop. On connecting my ipad to i-tunes on the new laptop it tells me the ipad is authorised on the maximum number of PC's. How can I de-authorise it from a pc I no longer have access to?

iPads are neither authorized or de-authorized.

How to authorise many iPads with one Apple ID

Hi all,
This is for work purposes. Is it possible to have one Apple ID, authorised with multiple iPads, could be 30 or more? The iPads will be used for teaching so will all run the same apps. They are handed back in after class.
I should say I want to download all the apps using this one Apple ID to the multiple iPads.
thanks

I want to return my iPad 3, but I did not have an apple account at the time of purchase, and when I type in my order number and proceed to click "cancel order", it prompts me to log in with my apple I'd and then tells me that the account is not authorised

I want to return my iPad 3, but I did not have an apple account at the time of purchase, and when I type in my order number and proceed to click "cancel order", it prompts me to log in with my apple I'd and then tells me that I am not authorised to do anything on the account in relation to the transaction. What should I do?

You can view and edit your orders without an Apple ID by logging in with your order number, along with the shipping zip code or email address.
I copied the text posted above from this website.
http://store.apple.com/us/help/viewing_changing_orders
Click or tap on the Order Status link here and you should be able to type in the order number and your zip code.
To view or edit your Apple Online Store order, visit online Order Status and log in with your Apple ID and password.

My wife has bought an iPad from a friend. My wife has an iphone with an iCloud account. When trying to connect to iCloud from the new iPad it says her username and password are not authorised. Any help

MMy wife had bought an iPad from a friend. My wife already has an iPhone, which is registered to iCloud. She cannot acces iCloud from the new iPad. It says her username and password is not authorised. What do we need to do.

This could be a couple different things.
     The device is not authorized to the Apple ID.
         Continue setup for the ID on the device.
There is an account issue
        Is she able to get signed in at
               Appleid.apple.com
                   and manage the account
Can she get signed in at
Supportprofile.apple.com ?
         How many devices are registered to that Apple ID?

New iPad is not on the authorised devices list

Every thing seems to be working as it should. I can download from the store etc. but, my new iPad Air is not shown on the authorised devices list in my account.
Is there something I need to do to get it recognised?
Cheers.

Same for me, Diamond White. Everything seems to work, but my new iPad Air isn't showing up in the list.
Thanks for suggestions, King_Penguin. Alas, I tried all of those except iTunes Match (don't want or need) and still no joy getting the device to appear in the list. My main PC is there along with my iPad 3.
Regards.

My mac pro says "It can't be synced because this computer is no longer authorised for purchased items that are on this iPad.

But when I de-authorise and then re-authorise it says it's already authorised and then the same window pops up saying "It can't be synced because this computer is no longer authorised for purchased items that are on this iPad.
Battled all day.
Removed the SC folder,
Checked iTunes log in is correct.
Checked Itunes is the same country.
Restarted both devices.
Tried different usb ports
Any ideas?

I found the solution to this problem
the apple service helped me actually
the best and the esiest way is to solve this problem :
create a new account (as an administator recomended)
Bonjour servises must be enabled ( go to control panel > administartive tools> sevices> Bounjour services (change the category to large icons if you dont see administartive tools )
install itunes
sign in
authorize
SYNC
it must sync normally
but if the meesage pops up that points on a particular items that could not be synced ( to ur itunes because you are not authorized for this items ) REMOVE THEM
creating a new user account shows the items wich dont let you sync your iPhone
after you REMOVE those **** items that were not authorised , you can go to your old user account and SYNC it as old kind time
was having this problem 2 weeks , and nothing helped except this was. not deleting the SC Info folder, now copying apple folder to some other mobile divce folder
REMEMBER the problem is in your iPhone , it is about the items that are in your iPhone
Thanks to Apple service
for anyone who needs othe heple you r welcome to ask
will hepl you with a pleassure cause i know how I felt this days:)

My iPad will not sync after system update and returns message that my computer is no longer authorised.

Please help me sync my iPad as it is not able to sync after a system update. Several messages 1. Computer no longer authorised and when I reauthorise it it prepares to sync and then it tells me my iPad cannot be written to,

Hi leefromwoodford,
The following article will tell you how to transfer purchased music from your iPhone to the your Mac -
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Specifically -
Transferring purchases
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod has your purchased content from the iTunes Store, you can transfer the content to a computer that is authorized for your Apple ID.
Note: This option only works for content you purchased from the iTunes Store (as opposed to content from other sources, such as CDs you may have imported). For content you did not purchase from the iTunes Store, synchronization occurs in one direction only. This means your content can be copied from a computer to your iOS device, but cannot be copied from your device to a computer.
Open iTunes.
From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.
Enter your Apple ID and password. Then, click the Authorize button.
Connect your device your computer. If it is synced with another iTunes library, you may be asked if you want to "Erase and Sync" or "Transfer Purchases."
If that alert appears, click Transfer Purchases.
Important: Clicking Erase and Sync will delete any existing content currently on your device. The content would then be replaced with the content that is on the computer.
If you were not offered the option to transfer purchases:
After connecting your device to the computer, its icon appears in iTunes. Click the icon.
From the File > Devices menu, choose "Transfer Purchases from 'Your device name.'"
Note that the computer must be authorized for the Apple ID under which the purchases were made.
You may also want to download the music directly from the iTunes store, rather than using the iPhone. See this article -
Download past purchases

I have authorised my iPad, but I'm not permitted to use the same ID on my laptop

Hi there,
I downloaded the OverDrive Media Console app to my iPad in order to download eBooks from my local library. I authorised the app (OMC integrates Adobe Digital Editions) and successfully downloaded a couple of eBooks. I then went home to authorise Adobe Digital Editions on my PC using the same Adobe ID I used for the iPad and got this error message: "You can only authorize this computer with an Adobe ID that hasn't been previously used to authorize any other computer or mobile devices. Please try again."
Surely the whole reason for having an Adobe ID is so I CAN use it to authorize multiple devices, no? Can anyone explain why I might be getting this error?
Thanks.

The background: your Adobe ID is 'registered' with Adobe, and its servers
are used during the authorization process. Your Adobe ID is used normally
for a computer and then ereaders, and Adobe's servers are sensitive to what
devices you authorize.
The foreground: ADE and Apple are not compatible. It appears that you may
know this from your statements about using the Overdrive console. The iPad
is considered a mobile device, and that runs afoul of Adobe's authorization
process.
What can you do? I don't know - but somebody out there does.....

I've burnt a digital copy of 3 blu ray dvds onto my iTunes, but i cant sync them to my iPad-an error message says device needs to be authorized, but its only authorised to this computer, i've never tried to use it on any other! Can anyone help?!

Thanks for your reply, but you might have misunderstood it a bit. I'm NOT trying to buy a movie. ****, I'm not even in the actual Apple Store, when this happens I'm in the library not the Store part of iTunes.
To clarify - I have purchased a physical copy of a movie which came with another physical copy which contains the digital copy. The digital copy is on the DVD, all I need is just to transfer this file to my iPod Touch, for example, I'm not trying to download it from the store or repurchase it and it's not any gift code that I've received, the digital copy is on the disc. This is the first time ever that I've purchased something on a disc and I'm not allowed to access it because the disc hasn't been purchased within my country.
So again - I'm not attempting any purchase or download any purchased digital copy - it's on a DVD I own physically so... why is even the region of my Store relevant, the code I enter is (as I assume) just supposed to check if it's a legal genuine copy (which it is, as I've said - there are 6 discs in the pack: 3 movies on 3 Blu-rays and 3 DVD containing these digital copies of them). If I own it, I think that's proof enough that I have the right to use it. I just don't get it. I fully agree with you and understand your point if there was any purchase going on here, but it's not, it's just - I put a disc into my computer and I can't access it

What can I do simply to keep all my previous contents, (own pics, videos, etc.) on my previously authorized iPad on PC, but get a new authorisation and a right syncronization, without data loss with a new iTunes on my new Mac?

Friends,
I already had an iPad(1) and its full contents (not only the purchased items, applications from Apple, but my all own pics, videos, songs etc.) is normally syncronized with an authorized PC (Windows) computer.
Now, I've bought a new MacBook Air computer, and want to sell my PC. But I don't know how to transfer (or syncronize) all of the contents from my previous iTunes on PC to the new one on the Mac.
When I connected my iPad to my new MacBook Air, I promted, if I want to change authorization of my iPad to the MacBook.
But also got a warning, that the new iTunes will delete from my iPad all my previously syncronized items, pics, videos and music, with the previously authorized iTunes on the previous computer, expect the saved pics from the net.
What can I do just like that, simply to keep all my previous contents on my iPad, but have a new authorisation and a right syncronization, without data loss with the new iTunes on my new Mac?
Thanks a lot for your answer.

Here are some instructions that I have posted several times that may be helpful to you as they have been to others. You can simply ignore anything that does not apply or that you have already done.
As Alan stated above - transferring the iTunes library is the best first step. If you can transfer the iTunes library to the Mac, most of this will be unecessary for you to do.
Very Important ....
1. Authorize the computer.
2. Turn off auto sync in iTunes
3. Transfer purchases
The text in italics is from the other thread - non italics are my words.
The following was copied from this thread. This is essentially what you want to accomplish.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
1) Without connecting your iPad to your new computer, start iTunes. Click on iTunes. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your computer and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your computer, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on iTunes / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
Read this thread and the support links as well. There are apps that you can purchase that will allow you to transfer photos from the iPad to your computer. Look at Photo Transfer App in the App store and you can search for others as well.

One final note - you may want to leave auto sync turned off - but that is totally up to you. I never did use auto sync.

How to authorise computer to read ibook bought on iPad?

Just to be clear, you can only read iBooks with Mavericks (OS X 10.9 or later).
Open iBooks (in Applications) > Store > From here you can authorize and sign into the store

How do I authorise computers and iPads to use iTunes related purchases

how do I authorise computers and iPads to use iTunes related purchases

You can authorise up to 5 computers via iTunes by signing in with your ID.
On iPads you enter your iTunes/AppStore store ID in Settings if it's not configured or different to your iCloud ID (if you have one). These do not count as computer authorisations.

Hi Roger, Many thanks I found the authorization section activated it and it was confirmed by itunes. But then I encountered another problem as attempting to sync my computer to my ipad i still received the same notification that it was not authorized so I really would not know how to rectify that so any assistance would be appreciated,
Thanks John
I was under the impression that once you had authorised the computer, transferring purchased and other songs to your iPod/iPad wasa then straightforward. However it gets more complicated with apps, and as I don't have an iOS device I can't advise. You've actually asked in the forum for questions about these forums, and you would do better to ask in the iPad forum, where people who actually have these toys hang out.
