Deauthorization of Computer in iTunes Account

I have been trying to find a way to deauthorize a computer on my iTunes account and realized, after following the steps provided, iTunes does not give me the option to do so. There must be some software glitch.
Anyway I need some help to do this and trying to contact someone from Apple to help is almost impossible.

Is this a computer you no longer have access to? You can't deauthorise 'dead' installations or computers you no longer have access to individually. However once you reach the limit of 5 authorisations you have the option to deauthorise them all in one go from your iTunes account and start over. *Just note that you can only use this option once a year*: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

I have photos on my iPad that I want to delete. This is my problem. I synced them from my ex-husband's Mac. We are no longer together therefore I don't have access to his computer or iTunes account. Is there any other way to delete them?

If you no longer have it then you have to deauthorize all and re-authorize the ones you do have.

My apple tv wont connect to my computer or itunes account although all the correct info has been applied

i have recently moved house and changed internet provider. i have had trouble getting my imac to stay connected to the wifi but this problem has now been solved after a lot of tech support from apple. however my apple tv still wont talk to my computer and itunes account. when i hit the computer icon on apple tv it comes up with "could not connect to J.... B..... library" "make sure the computer is on the same network as your apple tv, the itunes version is up to date, and itunes is running" all of this is correct and i have tried resetting, restoring, reloading, deleting the account and adding again, restarting the modem and all of the same on the imac. still cant get it to work.

DEAUTHORIZATION OF A COMPUTER ON ITUNES ACCOUNT

I have 5 computers authorized on my itunes account. One of them is no longer in working order but I can't seem to find information on how to remove that one computer. I can't deauthorize from the computer itself because it is not operational.
Thanks!

You would have to deauthorize all, then authorize the active computers

HT1420 how to deauthorize broken computer on my account

i have no luck with computers i have gone through 5 laptops and didnt deauthorize them. Now i have a new computer but itunes wont let me authorize it. As it has already got 5 authorized
help please

Individual computers can only be deauthorised directly on them, but if you have 2 or more computers authorised then you can log into your account on your computer's iTunes (Store > View My Account) and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then authorise/reauthorise the computers that you still have and need : authorising and deauthorising.

Go back to the article you asked this question from and use the Deauthorize All function, or if that's not an option, the link to contact the iTunes Store staff.

How do I move DVD digital copies from my iphone to a new computer's itunes account, same Apple ID?

I just got a MacBook Pro and I also have an iphone. My current main itunes is on a PC that I will not use any longer. I have several movies on my iphone which came with DVD's as digital copies, not purchased through itunes store.
In the past, I've lost these kinds of movie digital copies through syncing my phone on a new computer. I don't want this to happen again but I am totally lost since these are not itunes purchases.
How can I sync my iphone on my new mac's itunes and not "erase and replace" all the movies currently on my phone? Or how can I get them onto my Mac's itunes account so when I do sync my iphone, they'll still be there?
Thanks!

It's best to copy from your old computer to your new computer before syncing your phone with your new computer for the first time:

If everything were from the iTunes Store, you could do this:

Since it's not all from the iTunes Store, you should copy your library from your old computer to your new one, as noted above. If that's not possible and you can use only your phone as the file source, you will need to use a third-party utility such as Senuti:

There are many similar utilities. Some work just as well as Senuti and are even free.

Home sharing, one computer, 2 itunes accounts

I have an Iphone 4 and my husband is going to be getting an Iphone 4, and we want to be able to share our apps, music, etc. We have one main computer, but 2 itunes accounts. Will home sharing work? How could I view his account in my itunes account if they're both on the same computer?

Hi, suemach.
I'm not sure if I understand your situation precisely but it sounds like you're both using the same Windows XP User Account.
If that's correct, have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base and let us know if it brings you any combination of joy and/or satisfaction.

One computer, 2 iTunes accounts

Many hours spent trying to figure this out. We have one computer with internet access. I already have an iTunes account and have used it often. Another member of the family who has access to the same computer, wants a separte LIBRARY. I have opened 2 accounts...my original and then a yahoo for 2nd person. But even when I sign in under the new yahoo account, it brings up my original libary list which we do not what to sync with the new iPOD.
New iPOD wants his own library to come up when he uses my computer but his Apple Id and password. Any suggestions??

Wife and I each have 1-iphone & 1-ipad all synced to 1-computer/ 1-itunes account. Should wife have own icloud, itunes account and apple ID?

Please bear with me as I am not a super advanced user. I have seen variations of this question during my search, but nothing that seems to fit my exact situation.
I have: ipad 2 & iphone 5. Wife has: ipad 1 & iphone 4S.
I have an Apple ID, itunes account, icloud account. Wife does not
I have itunes set up on my PC only and I sync all 4 of the devices to it using my itunes account. (Wife has a work PC at home, but does not have itunes on it)
So what is the best way to set up these devices to allow for idividual usage, yet being able to put purchased apps on any device?
Should my wife have her own icloud account so pitures she takes on her iphone get uploaded via photo stream to her ipad?
Does my wife need her own apple ID or itunes account?
Thanks in advance!

To keep purchases seperate and any syncing via iCloud
seperate, yes, the wife must have a seperate AppleID.
As far as keeping other content seperate and different,
you should create a seperate account on the PC for the
wife (if she doesn't or can't install iTunes on her computer).
Then her iTunes->PC syncing will be kept seperate and in
her own user directories.

Old computer died need to make new computer main iTunes account

My main PC died and I now my laptop is my main computer. I need to make this computer the main computer for my iTunes account. How do you do this?

There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

TS2972 access your itunes on apple tv, turn on home sharing in itunes on your computer using "iTunes account"

I've had the apple tv 2 since the week it came out and haven't had much trouble with it until now. I haven't changed anything with my network settings. I have noticed the apple tv light seems to turn on at random times now when not being used. Now just about every time I try to access my iTunes library I get "To access your itunes on apple tv, turn on home sharing in itunes on your computer using (my account name)". My iTunes library is not listed. If I restart iTunes my computer with iTunes open will now be listed but when I select it it tries to connect them errors out. If I restart the computer then everything works fine. That is until next time I try to connect and I have to do it all over again. I don't want to have to restart my computer every time I use the apple tv. Any idea why this just started happening? Everything has worked until now. Bug in the latest iTunes maybe?
Thanks.

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

Two people, two iPhones, one computer, same iTunes account?

My girl friend and I just recently purchased our own iPhones. I've owned an iPod for a couple of years so my iTunes account has been active for that long. When I synced MY iPhone it went well I wasn't concerned. However, when my girlfriend synced her iPhone (even after signing herself up for her own account) it put ALL my phone numbers, music, etc., etc., on HER iPhone. Not good for either one of us I must say. So, can two people with two iPhones using the same computer sync to iTunes TOTALLY SEPARATE AND TOTALLY EXCLUSIVE OF EACH OTHER'S saved telephone numbers, music, games, pics, etc., etc.

Your iTunes same computer account can handle many iPods and iPhones on that particular computer and account. However, be sure to _backup your computer_ (not the iPhone/iPod. The computer).
The scenario being your computer came up with viruses not removable except from a computer wipe and restore and all of your movies, songs, etc are wiped with it. When that happens, all your iPods and iPhones will be wiped the next time you reconnect. It pops an error message saying this is not the same account and you have to wipe and sync to be allowed to use it.

Two iPhones on 1 computer/1 iTunes account ?

Is it possibly to have two iPhones on the same iTunes account, on the same computer/iTunes installation ?
I have no problem syncing with my own 3GS, but when I connect my wifes 3G (it has not been sync since I did a Format C: ) I can't get it to take a backup first, before I sync.
Could this be because that I have two iPhones on the same iTunes account, on the same computer/iTunes installation ?

I am wondering how to back up my Iphone 3g before I update it with the newest version. I have one itunes but two apple accounts. I have an iphone 4 and my boyfriend has an iphone 3g. I need to back up his phone, which has not been backed up in a very long time, and then update his phone. I am not sure exactly how to do this and am afraid I will lose all his information on his phone. I do not want to lose all his contacts and photos. My phone syncs just fine and backs up just fine, but I need his to do the same thing and since it has not been done in a very long time I'm not sure of the correct steps to take. Can anyone help me?
