De-authorizing itunes? Several of my authorized pc's have died, and have no way to deauthorize iTunes on them. Now I am unable to synch purchases on my Iphone to new computer with iTunes because I already have 5 computers authorized. What can be done?

Several of my authorized pc laptops and desktops have completely died over the years, and have no way to deauthorize iTunes on them. Now I am unable to synch purchases on my Iphone to new computer with iTunes because I already have 5 computers authorized. What can be done?

Deauthorise all to reset to zero, then authorize again.
Following quote from Apple Support:
If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).

    Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
    - Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
    - Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.

    how do I move my music from my ipad to a new computer with itunes.  I have already done the purchases

    If you want to copy music off then File > Transfer Purchases will only copy iTunes purchased music off the iPad. To copy music bought from other sources and/or copied from CDs then you will need to use a third-party program to copy them off - see the page that I linked to for some examples.

  • I need to move my thunderbird email from an old XP to a new computer with windows 7. I have my UserName but not a password

    I do not know how to move my T B email account from my old XP system to my new computer with Windows 7. I know my user name but do not know my pass word for the T B account

    All you normally need to do is copy the entire iTunes folder from User's Music on one computer into User's Music on the other. You can use a network share or an external drive to help with the move. Move the library before installing iTunes.
    See this migrate iTunes library post for more details and strategies for when the library isn't in the usual layout.

  • Old computer crashed, have new computer, how to tranfer.  Already have files on new computer, but wont show up in iTunes

    I guess my title is too long, sorry.  Old computer crashed, have new computer, already tranfered songs to new computer, but can't get them to show up in ITunes.  I have 2007 version of IPod, only a few songs on, and won't even transfer those.

    Finally figured it out.  Just had to store all my songs/ folders in the iTunes folder.  My old computer folder set up threw me off, had duplicate folders of songs that messed everything up when copied over.
    Thanks for your help though, appreciate it.

  • Computer crashed, how do I get my Ipod songs onto a new computer with itune

    Please help. My computer died and I lost everything on it. I have a new computer and have downloaded a new itunes 7.0
    How do I get my songs off my Ipod to my new computer and then to the new itunes

    If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    iGadget Windows Only
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only

    If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting to your new computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • Can't get stuff I paid for and downloaded to new computer with itunes.

    Ok, I was having some major issues. I posted them here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2569987
    So I decided to download Itunes to my laptop and start over. I tryed to start my desktop to deautherize thta computer but I found out its dead now.
    After installing Itunes and signing in to my account, authrizing this computer I go to check downloads to download all the stuff I paid for in the itunes store. Last time I switched computers all i had to do was do that and it would download it to the new computer.
    Now it says everything was downloaded to this account. It does not download what I paid for. It says I can burn it to a CD/ DVD or link it with home share.
    How can I burn it to a CD if the computer its on is dead? I can't get into the dead computer through my network and home share.
    How can i get the songs/ apps/ movies I have paid for with my hard earned money to download to my account on this new computer?
    I am VERY frustrated with Apple right now. No one has answered my posts, then when I check for phone support, it says they want to charge me.

    I go to check downloads to download all the stuff I paid for in the itunes store.
    That function is for items which you haven't previously downloaded from anywhere, such as season pass episodes not available at the time of purchase.
    How can I burn it to a CD if the computer its on is dead?
    Put its hard drive into an enclosure and copy the files directly.
    How can i get the songs/ apps/ movies I have paid for with my hard earned money to download to my account on this new computer?
    Applications can be freely redownloaded the same way you purchased them. For other content, click here and ask if the hard drive is dead.

  • New computer with itunes

    i have done the apple tutorial for transporting ipod library and i still see no music in my new itunes.
    my last laptop was destroyed and i lost everything on it. i downloaded a new itunes to my new laptop and did everything i was supposed to in order to get my songs from my ipod to my new itunes and nothing is working. im using windows xp and im not that brilliant with computers. can someone help me? im getting so frustrated.

    After trying the check for puchases option again, I received a pop up window indicating that purchased songs from the iTunes store can only be downloaded once. You have to transfer any purchased and downloaded songs/videos/movies manually to a new computer.
    So I guess those of us who lost/destroyed both their computer and ipod have to purchase everything again.... I am very disappointed.

  • How to get ALL data from ipod to new computer with itunes??

    I have a ipod touch 2nd gen. I have cd's and purchased songs on my ipod. I did use itunes on my friends computer for a number of years but now I've got windows 7 computer and i have downloaded itunes but it won't let me transfer current data on my ipod to itunes without me loosing it all. I can only access itunes at friends now. Is there any way to get all my songs, playlists, apps (with data still on it) and photos without deleting it? I am looking for the cheapest way possible. I have tried downloading copy software but it all costs money. Thanks

  • Don't remember username and password from old computer and need to set up my new computer with itunes

    I have no idea what my itunes user name and password were from my old computer. I want to restablish my account on my new computer and then to icloud for my new iphone 4s.

    Just what do you want to do?
    In iTunes you can go to Store and sing out of existing account and sing into your account.
    You can sync music and videos from the other computer if you sync by the manual method.

  • How do I re-download on my new computer with no CD but i have my serial number...

    After my last lap top broke I havejust manadged to buy a new computer but have lost my Photoshop CS5 CD luckily I found my serial nummber on an email from adobe. How do I re download it
    All help would be great thank you,
    Abbie

    if you follow all 7 steps, you can download a trial via one of the links on this page using a browser that accepts cookies:  http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a download problem, you didn't follow all 7 steps.  typically, failure to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 is the problem, but your browser must also allow cookies so that's (a restrictive browser setting) another potential source of problems.

  • Purchased app on iPhone - disappeared when synced with itunes

    I purchased an app on my phone a couple weeks ago. Today I synced with iTunes on my PC and the app disappeared from my phone and does not appear in the list of apps in iTunes. "Check for available downloads" in iTunes said that I had no available downloads. The purchase of the app did show up in my purchase history, but that seemed to be the only place.
    I was able to get the app back by attempting to purchase it again, at which point iTunes allowed me to download it again for free. However, all of the application data is still gone. And since I synced more than once in this process, the initial iPhone backup (which should have contained all that was lost) has now been overwritten.
    This has happened to me several times before, but this is the first time where the application data has been important.
    Any ideas as to what went wrong?
    Is there any hope for me to recover my application data at this point?
    Any way for me to prevent this happening again? (short of never syncing...)

    I doubt very much that you can recover the data at this point. The safe way to do things (I found for me at least) is download apps initially via iTunes instead of your phone, then mark them for syncing and do the normal sync. I purchased all of my apps this way and sync several times a week with no problem. I also do all the app updates thru iTunes.
