De-authorization...but I can't access those computers

Hi,
Currently I have two authorized computers. Both of those computers are at my old job and I can't access them.
Correct me if I am wrong but do I need to find three more computers to authorize so that I'll have the required five....and once I have 5 on my account, it's only then that I can de-authorize all 5 comps? (and then authorize the one that I now have access to?)
I understand that I can only de-authorize once a year...that's the only part I get!!
Thanks for your help.

*once I have 5 on my account, it's only then that I can de-authorize all 5 comps? (and then authorize the one that I now have access to?)*

HT1338 What's going on with iCloud (MobileMe)? I'm able to sign in here, but I can't access mail on my Macbook Pro, iPhone, or work computer. I always get an authorization error (user-id or passwork wrong). This has been going on for almost a week now.

The single download means that you won't be able to redownload it from the store without paying, either on a computer's iTunes or an iOS device - it doesn't stop you from copying the audiobook to your other computers or syncing it to your iOS devices, you just can't redownload it. (I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them requiring the one-time download.)
You can download audiobooks on your computer's iTunes and sync them to iOS devices, you do not have to buy them directly on the device (if you do then you can copy them back to your computer's iTunes library by connecting the device and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option on your computer's iTunes).
What you are doing to sync them should work i.e.
- connecting the iPad to your Mac
- selecting the iPad on your Mac's iTunes
- selecting its Books tab and selecting the audiobooks that you want to sync to the iPad and syncing/applying that selection.
You should then get an audiobooks option in the Music app on your iPad. If they aren't appearing there then do they show in Settings > General > Usage > Music on the device - if you have audiobooks on the iPad then they should be listed there under an 'audiobooks' heading.
By 'restart the iPad' do you mean a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
You could also try closing its Music app via the iPad's taskbar : Force an app to close in iOS.
And do a soft-reset and retry syncing.
I assume that music and other items sync ok ?

HT1660 After going for a few years without using my iTunes account I bought an iPhone and am trying to access the old songs I purchased. The username and password worked, but I can't locate those songs. Have they been deleted?

I lost my sync key and I don't have it; how can I access those settings? I don't find any contact us link in firefox sync site.

my netbook has broken in an accident and data on it couldn't be recovered. I have used firefox sync before this on my that netbook. Now I buy a new netbook but when I want to setup firefox sync I don't know sync key and consequently I can't access those data.
I want to know how can I solve this problem.

Moosavy

I'm sorry but "you should have written it down" simply isn't a good solution. Having the keys at all is a bad idea in my opinion. The keys should be stored in your account and if you authenticate with a password, it should use that key. If you can't keep your password private or secure, that's your problem. The problem with the keys is, you can't delete your account and "start over" if you so wish. What happens if your machine locks up after you sign up and you have no time to write down your key?
You can request a new password, but can't be reminded of your key? This is nonsense. I have had no such headaches with XMarks and I'm trying to find a reason to keep using firefox sync with such an obviously user-unfriendly approach. We're humans, not machines.

I transferred my files from a G4 to a new macbook pro, but I can't access my old songs in itunes. I click on the mac tab to access mp3 and acc but it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

They maybe corrupt, try transferring again from the g4. If iTunes is giving you an error then you need to authorize your computer with the same iTunes account as previously. Also, you could try exporting your iTunes library via iTunes on the g4.

ITunes says I have certain apps on my iPad, but I can't access them on my actual iPad...

iTunes says I have certain apps on my iPad, but I can't access them on my actual iPad. This happened after plugging it in to my iMac. Can this be fixed, or do I have to re-download those apps not appearing on my iPad?

I assume that you've checked all your homescreens by swiping the screen to the left, and that you havn't filled up the maximum number of screens, which I think is 12 (in which case you will only be able to find them via the search screen - and have you tried typing in their names on the search screen ?).
Also how did you install them : by syncing from your computer or downloading them straight onto the device ? If you synced them then if Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps is set 'off', then change it to 'on'.
You could also try a reset to see if they appear after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I downloaded 11.1 but now can't access the store, can only view my library. I've reinstalled but still get a blank, white screen when I try to go to the itunes store. How can I get to the store for purchases?

In iTunes prefs>Store - is the Store check box unchecked?
Did you repair pemissions with Disk Utility?

My old laptop crashed, and took my iTunes account with it. I got a new laptop, and want to sync my iTouch to my new iTunes account. It gives me an error message stating that I can't sync to multiple iTunes accounts, but I can't access my old one! Help!

My old laptop crashed, and took my iTunes account with it. I got a new laptop, and want to sync my iTouch to iTunes. It gives me an error message stating that I can't sync to multiple iTunes accounts, but I can't access my old one!
How can I get my new iTunes account to allow me to Sync my iTouch? The only option it gives me is to "transfer purchases" from my iTouch to iTunes, but that is only about 25% of my iTunes library-most of it is CDs I have uploaded. How can I Sync without losing all my music from my iTouch???
Also, I have lectures and photos, etc. on my iTouch that I don't want to lose.
I've tried a few of the iPod copy programs-the free ones and the ones you have to pay for, but I can't find one that will work for ALL my content on an iTouch.
Right now, I can't get anything from my iTouch to iTunes, and I can't update my iTouch with my new iTunes purchases, so I'm stuck! Help!

Also-I tried to use my backup hard drive, but I wasn't able to drag/transfer/send/move any of my muic files onto my iTouch when the iTouch was connected to my computer. I can't figure out why it won't let me do that.
The only thing I can see when I open my iTouch on my computer is my file with photos. I can't see videos, music, or anything else. What's going on?

I have an iPad mini, 16GB, running on the 7.1.2 iOS system, my App Store icon is no longer on my home screen and neither is my iTunes Store icon. They are listed in my settings but I can't access any unless through other games, or songs on iPad.

I Have an iPad mini operating on 7.1.2 iOS. My App Store icon as well as my iTunes Store icon are missing from my home scree. They are still listed under my settings, but I can't access them unless it's through an app that already exists. Where can I go to reinstall these? I use the same Apple ID on my iPhone 5c as well and they are on the iPhone, but I don't know how or why they just disappeared from my iPad and want to know how to get them back without having to reset my iPad and lose what I have on it. Thanks, Karla

Thanks so much! My grandaughters played games on the iPad over Xmas and one of their moms said shed restricted their access! Guess they forgot to enable again. Thank you again! Karla

I have transferred my itunes library to an external drive. I then attached the external disk to a new computer. I can now access all songs from the new computer. But I can't access playlists. I can still access all songs and playlists on the old computer

If you right mouse and select Get info it will show you the Apple ID used to purchase these songs.
Usually the name of an apple id is based on the email. So knowing that you may have forgotten the Apple ID password.

Not sure I understand you correctly.. Are you currently in China, and therefore unable to download the app? Also, which program is it that you're trying to get?

When I click the bookmark icon on the Google tool bar I am asked to login which I do but still can't access my bookmarks.

My OS is Vista Business and I'm using Firefox version 8. I'm using the Google Tool Bar and have an icon for Bookmarks but when I click it a message pops up "Sign in to access your Google bookmarks. I sign in but still can't access my bookmarks.

The Google Toolbar isn't compatible with versions of Firefox beyond Firefox 4. If you are overriding extension compatibility to get to be enabled in Firefox 8, that isn't going to work since Google changed the logon URLs a couple of months ago; that broke the Google Toolbar even further.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I assume you taken the step of restarting the laptop.
Have you checked your security software is allowing access for iTunes, which security software are you using.
