De-authorizing audible account

I have just bought a new Macbook and I'm trying to de-authorize the audible account for my iPod on my old computer on iTunes but I am told that my account id or username is incorrect. I know it is correct since iTunes still lets me authorize and purchase music on the same account.
Is there any other way to de-authorize an iPod from a computer besides going through the advanced tab in iTunes?

Choose Deauthorize Computer from the Store menu. Unless you've purchased an audiobook, you don't have an Audible account to deauthorize.

  • ITunes installs with an authorized audible account

    My problem is, I'd like to use Home Sharing but keep getting the 5506 error when logging into my AppleID, which as per other threads requires you de-authorize itunes and login with your account. I haven't authorized iTunes to use any audible accounts, its a clean install on a freshly installed Windows machine running Windows 7, but under the Advanced tab it says de-authorize audible account. How do I de-authorize if it was never authorized in the first place?

    many thanks.
    That should be possible.
    From his library connect to your library via Home Sharing.
    Select the name of the shared library in the source pane of your itunes, and click on the wee disclosure triangle to the left of the name of the library. Does "Films" appear beneath the name of the library?
    Here's a screenshot of what I mean.
    Select "Films". In the right-hand pane you should see the item you want to transfer. Just select that item, and click "Import".
    Use the same basic technique to get one or a few songs from your library transferred to his library. (The only difference is that you would have "Music" selected instead of "Films".
    If you don't want him to have access to other items in your library, you could just switch Home Sharing off on his library after you've done the transfers.

  • TS1389 How do I authorize my computer for an Audible Account?

    I have authorized my computer for iTunes but when trying to add an audio book to my library, I keep being asked to authorize my "Audible" account.  It seems my standard iTunes Account is not the same thing.

  • Authorizing Audible over and over again

    I got a new iMac last week, and Migration Assistant seemed to work great to get me up and running from a Time Machine backup from my old iMac. I only have one issue - every time I sync my iPod, I get a message that not all my Audible files were copied to my iPod because they aren't authorized to be played on this computer. I'll deauthorize my Audible account in iTunes (Advanced, Deauthorize Audible Account), then reauthorize when prompted to when I attempt to play an audiobook. The audio book will then sync to my Touch. Then I'll have to repeat the entire process the next time I sync.
    I saw a tip to deauthorize, then restart, then authorize - that didn't help. I also saw one to follow the process while logged in to an administrator account. I did deauthorize as an administrator, but don't have any Audible content in the admin's library, so I reauthorized as my usual user account.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Faye

    I ran into the same problem, the audible rep (very helpful when you call the 800#) had do these steps:
    1. Check permissions on /Library/Preferences
    a. right click or control-click then /Library/Preferences file
    b. select "Get Info"
    c. click the triangle in front of "Sharing & Permissions:" on the window that pops up
    d. Make sure it says "You can read and write"
    e. if it doesn't say that - check if your account is listed as an "Administrator"
    2. Close iTunes
    3. assuming all of the above is fine - delete the following file: /Library/Preferences/com.audible.data.plist
    4. Open iTunes
    5. Play an audible book (it will ask you to sign in)
    6. Close iTunes
    7. Open iTunes
    8. Play an audible book - It should NOT ask you to sign in

  • Audible Account

    I checked off the box for the Audible application. I then noticed that in iTunes under the Advanced tab there is a "Deauthorize Audible Account". I attempted to deauthorize the account using the P/W I have but it did not like. I then attempted to "Delete" the application but that did not work. I send an e-mail to Audible requesting a new P/W but they did not respond. Does anyone know how I can kill this application?

    I still have the "Deauthorized Audible Account" in bold letter though.
    That's normal. You'll see that in iTunes even if you never had anything to do with Audible at all.
    If you just downloaded the Audible app, you didn't authorize iTunes to an Audible account so there's nothing to have to deauthorize. Only if you attempted to play an audiobook purchased from Audible in iTunes and entered in your Audible account information would it have ever been authorized.
    Regards.

  • Deauthorize Audible Account

    I've already looked at some posts about this issue, but it still doesn't solve my problem.
    I have 2 MacbookPros in my household. For some reason I choose to install my Iphone 3G to computer B instead of A (primary computer). I used iTunes 7.7
    *Computer A (primary)*
    Now i'm having problem to get the authority on my main computer, it says:
    iTunes Store/ Account.
    +Computer Authorizations: One machine is authorized to play music purchased with this account.+
    *Computer B (secondary)*
    Now I choose to "Deauthorize Audible Account" (in the advanced menu). Which I think it means the same Apple ID-account I use to login to iTunes, right? Pop-up window comes up, I have to enter +"Audible user name" & "Password"+.
    Still doesn't work. It claims it's wrong user name or password. Which is not.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks for your help.

    The Deauthorize Audible Account option is only possible to use if you've purchased and used audiobooks from Audible on that machine. It is not the same as the iTunes Store account.

  • Audible account password??

    Help, I have bought several audio books from iTunes store last couple of years. Some how I have lost them in iTunes, I have them backup, but now when I try to drag them back to iTunes I'm asked for my audible account password and user name, after I enter it iTunes will not accept it, it tells me that the user name or password is wrong. I can log into my account and and see my account. I have only 1 account that I know of and it was used to buy these books as far as I know. I looked all over my account and can not find where I could of setup another account or password. How do I find out if I have somehow setup another account. I have checked under the Store tab in iTunes and it says that my computer is Authorized and under the Adavance Tab it only shows that I could DeAuthorized Audible Account.

  • Difference between authorization and audible account and other things

    When I check my account in iTunes it says I have 4 machines out of 5 authorized to play music purchased with this account, even though I only have one laptop. I do have three different types of iPods. Are these iPods considered 'machines' that are taking up the other three of the four authorizations?? I tried deauthorizing my laptop mutliple times as described in the 'One computer using multiple iTunes Store authorizations' article, but I can only deauthorize the laptop once before I get the prompt to reauthorize my computer. Is there a way to find out just exactly what are the four machines that are on my account??
    I have noticed under 'Advanced' in the iTunes menu bar there is a 'deauthorize audible account.' How is this different than 'deauthorize computer' under Store in the menu bar??
    Any help on these matters is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi,
    Authenticate: Prove that you are the user you tend to be, for example by checking a password of a user (=> user is authenticated)
    Authorize: Give certain permission to a user, for example "not authorized to ready file xy" ("permission denied" / "not authorized")

  • I had to restore my computer and now my audible account won't authorize

    I had to restore my computer and now my audible account will not authorize in iTunes. The audiobooks were all purchased with one of two audible accounts and neither are authorizing. Can anyone help?

    Maybe you should note that Firefox and IE use different systems for bookmarks/favourites.
    I am not entirely sure what you mean by
    . i then just moved them around to my taste.
    Presumably instead of making use of Firefox bookmarks library and its extensive features you are merely relying on folders of HTML files.
    * see [[how do i use bookmarks?]] includes links to further info
    Firefox uses as a working database the file ''places.sqlite'' that is kept in the Firefox [[profiles|profile]] this includes your History records and is
    * not directly compatible with IE HTML format favorite files
    ** but Firefox Bookmarks Library has the option to import and export as HTML.<br/>(Imported HTML are appended to the library)
    * Backedup automatically to Firefox bookmarks files in .JSON format
    * Backed up manually by following the procedures in
    ** ( CARE if you import firefox .json bookmarks it overwrites the existing set, always backup first manually )

  • How to get username from audible account if one is associated with the store account

    So, I noticed, while de-authorizing a previous computer of an itunes store account, that an audible account was available for deauthorization as well.  I never authorized an audible account, and I'm not getting any help from apple about retaining a username if you never created one.  shady

    Have you ever had an account with audible.com ? If not then you won't have one to deauthorise - the option to deauthorise one shows in the Advanced menu on my iTunes, even though I haven't currently got one authorised on it. If you have got an audible account and you have authorised it on that computer then Apple won't know what it is, as the account would be with audible.com, not Apple.

  • I am trying to deauthorized audible account but it is asking for a username and password but when i enter in itunes info it is nt working?? How do i find out what the username is then??

    All i want to do is access my itunes on my laptop  i was told i had to deauthorize the audible account and it is asking for a username and password, i tryed using my itunes login info but it didn't work, where can i find this info to get this gone.
    Or is there another way to sync my itunes account with my laptop????
    Please please help me!!!! I need my music

    I'm confused. Who told you that you need to deauthorize an Audible account to be able to play your music? Did you ever set up an account with Audible.com? What is happening when you try to play your music?  And what exactly do you mean by "sync your iTunes account with your laptop"?
    Please provide more details as to your situation and what it is you're trying to accomplish. I'm sure once we understand what it going on, someone can provide suggestions.
    Regards.

  • I have 3 audible accounts and can't copy them all to my ipod

    I get this error message "Some of the Audible Files in the iTunes music library were not copied to the iPod "iPod" because an iPod may only contain content from two Audible accounts."
    Don't ask why I have 3 accounts, it's a long story.
    I have a 5th generation video ipod 80gb
    all the files are on one computer in itunes, I do not share my library with any other computers
    I saw an earlier question posted with no real answer but it was related to subscriptions to podcasts from Audible and that's not really my problem.
    Does anyone know a way to fix this?
    Or do I just have to listen to all the old books before I can listen to the new ones?
    Any help appreciated..

    Has anyone found a solution to this problem? Why on earth can I only have audible books from 2 acounts on my iPod? This is B.S. Is there a way for us to sort by account on the iPod so that I can delete audio books from one of my 2 audible accounts so that I can add books from my wifes account.
    Thanks

    Will iTunes match match songs that have been downloaded using a different audible account?

    Hey there Chriskir,
    It sounds like you would like to delete all the songs from your iPad but still be able to access them in iTunes Match. You can delete all the songs from the Music section of your Usage in Settings by swiping your music left:
