De authorizing 5 PC's

Like most people that use itunes, I have not always remembered to de authorize my PC if reinstalling windows. So now I am in a position of seemingly having 5 PC's authorized but unable to reverse that because it can only be done once in a year.
So because my PC is not authorized itunes has removed 54 apps from my ipod touch.
Question: Is it necessary to wait till a year has passed before I can then clear the authorized PC's and the authorize this one? Or can I go touching my forelock to Apple and ask them if they could do anything to help? or is there another way?

You have authorized and deauthorized 5 times in a year?
You need to contact itunes support.

I was given the wrong macbook when I gave mine in for repair. I want to complain. Also, they wiped ALL my data off the hard drive. I want to complain to someone in authority. How?

I am extremely disappointed and angry with Apple service. I am a writer and booked three weeks in Spain so that I could finish my book. On the second day my laptop cut out on me asI was working on it, so I took it to Goldenmack in Cadiz. Not only was I given someone else's macbook when I went back to collect it, but then when I returned to the UK, the Apple shop in Brighton managed to delete ALL my data from the hard drive because I was unlucky enough to get a trainee on her first day. I have since learned she should not have deleted my data without even running a diagnostic. She told me she was going to 'restore' the drive. I took this to mean she was going to restore my work. But no! She erased the lot.
I complained and eventually was put in touch with a supervisor, who I was told had authority to resolve the issue. She said she would get the shop to phone me. That was ten days ago and I'm still waiting.
Ok so there's nothing I can do now to get back the three chapters of my book that I have lost and didn't back up, but the hard drive on this laptop is still faulty. I try to back up my work every time I use the machine but as soon as I attach an external drive, the whole thing shuts down. I can't use it any more as I can't risk losing any more work. This laptop is only just over a year old and this is just not acceptable, especially since I have really looked after it.
This is an appalling service I have encountered from Apple, and I am not going to ignore it. I have contacted the young chap whose laptop I was erroneously given, and the repair of which I paid for! (although I did eventually get a refund), to ask him if he had been given mine as well. He said he had been completely unaware that his laptop had been given to me and he is furious as he had loads of "sensitive material" on it." I have no idea in whose hands my laptop has been either, or indeed what damage it sustained while it was supposed to be in for repair.

Be sure to refer to the repair ticket number.
Sounds like a terrible mixup.
Good luck & happy computing!

How do I use Edge Animate to make a clickable image which can be used in Author, and which will redirect you to a different page in your ebook?

If anyone has experience with Edge Animate, I know that I can make an image clickable, and I can insert a url to define where it will go once clicked. But I want to make a widget to use in iBooks Author, that can take the reader to a certain page of the book. Is this possible?
It all seems very complicated. Make one thing in Edge Animate, then somehow have that reference something in Author, which will finally work in an ebook. I have no clue where to begin.

Sort of. I'm using this code inside an action for a button symbol. But it doesn't work perfectly. Trying to debug it.
Let me know if you have any luck.

When i first got my iphone i plugged it into my friend's computer and songs on from itunes. Now it will not show up in the side bar when i plug it into my computer. I have already tried 'authorizing this computer'. What can i do?

When I first got my iphone i plugged it into my friends computer and added songs from their itunes. Now when i plug it into my computer it will not connect or show up in the sidebar in itunes. I have already tried factory resetting the phone and 'authorizing this computer' in itunes. Can anyone help?

Is your iTunes up to date, it is now 10.7, click the iTunes button at the top of this page if you need the new version.

My iPhone wont let me download some apps that i have payed for on on my account; it says my iPhone is not authorized for this computer, but it is.

My iPhone wont let me download some apps that i have payed for on on my account; it says my iPhone is not authorized for this computer, but it is.

No, iTunes never says an iPhone is not authorized.
This is occurring on a computer, correct?
Is the computer authorized for the account the media or apps were acquired with?

How do I change the way the title/author appear and is there any way to remove pages on EPUBs?

Hi all--
I am having a really hard time--I am trying to transfer EPUBs from my Win 7 comp to my Nook Tablet. I bought a lot of books from several non-BN sites because they were lots cheaper and were also sold in bundles--but the site was messed up and sent the books in PDF form rather than EPUB. PDF files won't read like a regular book on my Nook Tablet, so my friend offered to convert them to EPUB for me.
Most of the books turned out fine, but some of them now have a few extra pages at the beginning before the cover image and the correct title and author are not displaying--it seems to instead show the filepath where the file was saved on m friend's computer (C:\My Computer/Documents and Settings...etc.)
So, what I would like to do is be able to edit the EPUB files so I can delete the extra pages at the beginning so the correct cover image will be displayed and to be able to change the file's data sp it will show (and be searchable by) the correct title and author.
I am new to all this, so I appreciate any help you can offer. Thank you SO much for your help!!
--Jamie
P.S. Having the title and author show up correctly so they are searchable and appear in the correct place on my Nook Tablet is the top priority--correct cover pages would be nice aesthitically, but it is not that important.
****ALSO--does anyone know of an app or anything for the Nook Tablet that would allow PDF files to be read just like an EPUB/B&N=purchased book? Currently when I open a PDF, it shows the page in TINY print--you can use pinching to zoom in, but then the file enlarges so it is bigger than the screen, making it very hard to read. I can't figure out any way to enlarge the text but still fits the page like an EPUB does, so I'm wondering if there's an app that would do that--it's hard because you can't try apps before you buy them and I can't teel if they will work from the descriptions.

For sideloaded content the nook pulls the metadata from ePub file itself. I would suggest looking at a program like Sigil or Calibre that will let you edit the metadata in the book to make it appear like you want.
For the PDF vs ePub - No, that's the way PDFs work (think of them as graphics, not text), wheres ePubs are Web Pages - so no you can't them to behave exactly alike without converting the files.

How can I share iBooks authored by me using iBook Author on 2 different iPads synced to two different computors? Both iPads have different iTunes accounts.

I am in the process of authoring an eBook using iBook Author. The project is a work in progress and I want to share the draft with other collegues. We each have our own iPads synced with other computers and we have different iTunes acounts. I attempted to preview the book on the new iPad, but the iPad did not come up in the available device window.
Am I missing something or is there a way around this?

Can I move an ibook author file from one device to another?

I have ibook Author on my Macbook and my Mac Mini. If I start a project on my Macbook, is it possible to transfer the incomplete file to my Mini (where all my pictures and charts are stored) later to complete it?

Just like any other file, save your book where you can find it - it will have the suffix .iba
Move that file, however you like, to your other computer and continue there.

Asking specific client certificate (not certificates trusted by authority)

As I understand from what I read so far, during the handshake negotiation for two way ssl, the server sends the client a list of trusted certificate authorities and say to the client: "hey, those are the authorities I trust. send me a certificate that can be verified by one of them".
I also read how you can customize SSLSocketFactory to, on the client side, look for a specific certificate alias (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-customssl/). I would like to move this idea further and ask for specific certificates depending on what resources the user is trying to access.
For example:
Let's suppose I have two resources on my server called "bobPrivateStuff" and "alicePrivateStuff". I also have a certificate authority who can validate both Bob and Alice certificates on a custom trust keystore. In a regular scenario, the server will ask for a client certificate and will accept either Alice or Bob certificate, as both can be verified by the custom trust.
But what if Alice can't access "bobPrivateStuff"? What if when trying to open a connection, to say http://myserver.com/services/bobPrivateStuff, the server asks specifically for Bob's certificate? Can I setup the handshake in a way it will actually ask for Bob's certificate instead of only just "any certificated trusted by this CA"?
And what piece of information could be used to distinguish one certificate from another? Is the serial number unique between multiple certificates? Is this pushing the envelop too much and trying to use SSL for more than what it is intended for?

I agree 100%. It's just that we want to use certificates to validate the client's identity (instead of relying on username/password).Fine, that's exactly what SSL & PKI will do for you.
It might not be elegantBut it is!
See my point?Of course I see your point. SSL already does that. I said that. You agreed. I agree. What it doesn't do is the authorization part. Because it can't. It isn't meant to. You are supposed to do that.
Instead of the server asking for a specific certificate, it justs checks if the certificate sent by the client has access to the resource.Not quite. It should check if the identity represented by the client certificate (Certificate.getSubjectX500Principal(), or SSLSocket.getSession().getPeerPrincipal()) has access to the resource.
This way, we can leave the server untouchedNo you can't. The server has to get hold of the client principal after the handshake and authorize it against the resource.
if Bob wants to access some resources, Bob has to prove he is who he says he is.You're still confused. That's authentication, and SSL already does that for you. SSLSocket.getSession().getPeerPrincipal() returns you the authenticated identity of the peer. The server then has to check that that identity can access that resource. This is 'authorization'. You can't automate it via keystores and truststores. That's not what they do and it's not what they're for.
So I think it is perfectly plausible to do this kind of verification on the server side (i.e. "hijack" a certificate sent to validate the ssl handshake to also verify if the user has the correct privileges).There's no 'hijacking' about it, but you're concentrating on the certificate instead of the identity it represents. A client could have a large number of certificates that all authenticate the same identity. You need to think in terms of authorizing Principals to access resources.

HT1420 How can I get past 5 authorized computers when we have more computers, ipads, iphones than allowed. I want to have parental control by sharing 1 apple ID with one account?

We have multiple computers, laptops, iphones and ipad in our home. We have kept one account for iTunes in order to monitor what my family downloads for parental monitoring. How can I get approval or allow for more devices to be 'authorized' to purchase from iTunes? I don't want to have to have more than one account that I have to monitor - technology is overwhelming enough to control with all the hackers and distasteful things on the web.

Authorization applies ONLY to computers.
ipads/ipods/iphones/apple tvs are NOT authorized at all.

How do I add a widget to give a review or star rating for a book at the end of a book in iBooks Author?

How do I add a widget to give a review or star rating for a book at the end of a book in iBooks Author? You know, how you buy books on iBooks and when you're finished reading it, there's a place where you can give a rating or review right there on the very last page?

Just supply a link that says 'Review This Book' - use http://itunes.apple.com/linkmaker/ to generate one.

ITunes for Windows freezes when importing a library. I have a large but not huge library of mostly iTunes purchased music on two authorized computers and would like to sync the files, export the library as a playlist, and import it on the other computer.

I am running iTunes for Windows 10.2.2 on Windows 7 Home. I have my iTunes library on both this computer and another authorized machine running Windows 7 Professional. I have a large but not enormous library, as I'm one of those people who doesn't pirate, use torrents, borrow from a dozen friends, or whatever other shades of gray you might imagine. It's mostly iTunes purchases with my old CD collection imported. I have started using the following technique to sync my libraries between my two authorized computers, an ability which you can probably all agree should one day be added to iTunes -- that would be different from Home Sharing, because the music would be stored locally and thus available on the road. With the added benefit of the entire library being backed up on the other machine in real-time. Anyway, when I switch from my desktop to laptop and vice versa, I use the following technique:
Connect both machines to the home network. One machine is the "Active" machine, which has most recently been used for iTunes media, purchases, ratings, etc.
On the "Active" machine, File-->Library-->Export. Save the file as "Library.xml" on the shared drive of the other machine.
Right-click "Library.xml" where it's been saved, and open another file that has two lines in it: The root path of the iTunes library on one machine and the root path of the iTunes library on the other machine.
Do a find/replace all in Notepad to make the library XML file point to where the files will be saved on the "Inactive" machine.
Run Microsoft SyncToy to synchronize the files between both music libraries; the most recent files win. This avoids copying the entire multi-gigabyte library over the network.
Open iTunes on the "Inactive" machine.
Go to Music, Select All, Delete. Keep files.
Do the same for Movies, Music Videos.
Go down to Playlists, select the top one, hold down the delete button until they're all gone.
File-->Library-->Import Playlist. Choose the "Library.xml" file you saved.
First a status bar comes up that says, "Importing library." It has the continually-scrolling progress bar, not the one that starts on the left and steadily creeps right. Then after about 30 seconds, that clears out. Wait. Typically a few minutes. Eventually a status bar will pop up saying something like, "Evaluating gapless playback information," or something like that.
The "Inactive" computer is now the "Active" computer. I can now play my library, it has all my playlists and metadata from the other machine.
Delete all the duplicate playlists named "Music," "Genius," "Purchased," and "iTunes DJ."
Well, I just upgraded to iTunes 10.2.2 a few days ago and tried to do this again like I've done it dozens of times before. Now, iTunes just goes unresponsive after the library import. It got through the "Importing library" bar to the long wait and stopped. I can still multiprocess and use other programs, but iTunes is hovering back there not responding to clicks. Task Manager doesn't seem to think iTunes is using my CPU, and I don't see my hard drive rattling. Any thoughts on why iTunes might hang up when importing a large library?
... Also, please help lobby Apple to come up with a network sync tool built into iTunes for a user with multiple authorized computers. Something different than Home Sharing so I can pull my laptop off the network and still have the synced library with me. And all my metadata changes will sync. The technique I use seems a little kludgey, don't you think?

iTunes isn't an editor. You need an app that's intended for editing audio files, like Adobe Audition (http://www.adobe.com/products/audition.html) or Audacity (free in the App Store).

The iPod could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPod.

Full message that pops up
"The iPod could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPod.
To authorize this computer for items purchased from iTunes Store, choose Store > Authorize This Computer."
I am unable to sync my music, applications, movies, etc. to my iPod touch. The only way I am able to bypass the message that pops out when I try to sync (the one in the title) is by clicking "Apply" instead of "Sync". To do this, I make changes to Apps, Music, or Movies (...) and the buttons "Revert" and "Apply" will replace the button "Sync".
My problem is most likely not due to using many accounts because I only have one and it is the only one that I use. I do not share accounts with my family members. Still, I have tried everything here, nothing has worked for me. Since I don't often listen to Podcasts, I have deleted them from my iPod. I have no idea why I am unable to sync and no one seems to have the same problem as me.
Thank you for your help in advance.

ITunes is telling me my computer is no longer able play purchased items on my ipod unless i authorize my computer. But it's already authorized.

And when i DO try and authorize it, it's fine but then the error message comes up again. It seems fine, i already synced it once and the music was still there, but i can't apply any new podcasts to it this way since it won't complete the synching process? I think? I don't really know it's just very annoying. Why, if i'm already authorized, is it saying i'm NOT??

Sorry, I don't have a response. I just wanted to say that I have the exact same problem. It started about a week ago and a number of songs that I've purchased have been deleted from my ipod when I sync.
It's very frustrating.

When Syncing IPhone I Can't Make Changes.. ITunes Says My Computer Is No Longer Authorized...

Hey all,
I have a problem with ITunes. I have a new Iphone 6+ and I have the latest version of ITunes loaded on my laptop. When I connect my phone to make changes to the icons and screens, I authorize my laptop. ITunes tells me I have Successfully Authorized this Computer. Then I will go into the different screens and move icons around and delete some and change the way my IPhone looks. When I click APPLY ITunes then tells me that it cannot make changes to the Iphone because this laptop is no longer authorized. I didn't make any changes to ITunes or anything. I just plugged my phone in and tried to change the icons around and am not able to do so.
I looked on here and found similar issues and an article was posted to tell how to correct it. It contained 3 or 4 remedies, Authorizing using the Administrator Account, Changing the User Level Security and deleting the SCinfo folder. I've done all of these and nothing works.
I don't understand what is going on with ITunes where it tells me the computer IS authorized and then when I try to make any changes to my Iphone, it will try to SYNC and then tell me that it is NOT AUTHORIZED to make changes.
It's pretty hard to enjoy my new phone when I can't do anything or make any changes to it.
PLEASE HELP...this is driving me CRAZY!!
Thank you
MUHerd

I guess I solved my own problem.
After de-authorizing and re-authorizing didn't work. I signed out of my iTunes account, waited a minute, and signed back in. Then, when I connected my iPod to my computer, the game was recopied back to the iPod.
Whatever works....
