Deauthorize All, but still have 5 computers authorized!

So I have pressed "Deauthorize All" and I still have "5 computers are authorized to play content...."
I received an error about iTunes store not available, bla bla bla.
Now when I press Deauthorize all again...I have to wait until Nov 2013!!!!!!!
Are you kidding me?!
And I have to pay $35/hour to speak to someone at Apple???
Is this my excuse to switch to a Galaxy??

Have you used the deauthorize All option any other time in the past year? If so, that would explain why the option is not appearing.
On the page where the Deauthorize All button is supposed to appear, do you see the Change Country or Region button?
You may need to contact iTunes support and explain your situation to them.

Had to buy a new PC as the hard disk of the old one broke and lost all purchases, but still have them on the iPhone. How can I sync them back to the new PC in iTunes?

Had to buy a new PC as the hard disk of the old one broke and lost all purchases, but still have them on the iPhone. How can I sync them back to the new PC in iTunes without losing them?

You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

HT1420 I want to deauthorize all of my past computers but not my current computer?

i really want to deauthorize all of my past computers/ laptops because i have used all five that you are aloud but im scared that if i click deauthorize all that it will also deauthorize my current computer and i really dont want this to happen. any ideas?

Deauthorize all (Apple limits this option to once a year) and then reauthorize your current computer.
You can not pick a particular computer to deauthorize. It is all or nothing unless you deauthorize from the computer itself.

I disabled Sync history with IE , yet every time i look at my history in Firefox it shows all the IE places i visited , how do i stop this , so i can go to only my Firefox history , but still have IE and Firefox synced

I use Firefox and Google Chrome for forums because they are faster than IE as IE(7) tends to hang a lot , so i have all my Favorites and everything synced with Firefox , as this is my main browser , but i do still use IE7 for some browsing , u went to Settings and unchecked the History , in the Sync section , but when i go to Firefox to view a forum topic i was looking at , recently , if i had gone to IE and visited any sites , then they show up in my history (for example Craigslist , i will look at several adds , and ALL of them are in my Firefox History) and push my Firefox history off the list so i have to go back to my favorites and start over , instead of being able to use my Firefox ONLY history so i can just go to those pages
Is there anyway to fix/bypass this but still have Cookies and Favorites and such synced ?? , without the IE History knocking all my Firefox history off the list ??
It's just annoying to have to go back from the beginning and search the topic i was in on a forum, because it was bumped off the list by any browsing i did in IE7, in between time
Another issues since i am posting:
I also have "Check Places" and it does not bring all the Favorites i have added in my IE Favorites over , the ones i did when i first installed it transferred , but any additional ones i have added to IE will not transfer , is there something wrong with Check Places ?? does it only transfer your Favorites 1 time , and not check for additions to the list then add them accordingly ???

Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

I cannot install iTunes. I get a Windows Error 126 and missing msvcr80.dll. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing based on all the suggestions, but still have an issue. I've removed all the services, tried moving the dll files as suggested, but I still have no success. Spent all day on this issue. I am running windows 7.

Sorry to hear this isn't going smoothly for you. Try Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. You may have seen some of the suggestions here before but is has taken some users more than one attempt.

I am rebuilding my iTunes library, but still have all the old content on my iPod Classic. I have just download some songs from the iStore and want to add them to the iPod, BUT when I try to sync it asks if I want to delete all content from the iPod and add only the material that I have just downloaded from the Store. I do not want to lose my old content, because it is very extensive.

You are trying to sync to other than the one iTunes library you can sync to. You can copy music from multiple library/computer if you use the manual method of syncing. That method is described here
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
If you want to make this computer/iTunes library your syncing computer/library you have to restore the iPod on this computer/library. Restoring erases the iPod.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
To copy other music to the computer see:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
BTW this is the iPod touch forum

i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad? I have switched my iphone to airplane mode so it is not connected to the internet and so icloud can not wipe it at the moment.
thanks roy

There's a menu choice (I think under "Files") that lets you sync purchased items on a device back to itunes. Look for that.
iCloud does not store music. If you want to do that you'd have to subscribe to itunes Match, but to get music to the match servers, you need the music in the itunes library on your computer.

Can I upload music from iPod to iTunes? My music has disappeared from my iTunes account, but still have it on iPod.

Music on my iTunes account has disappeared, but still have it on my older iPod; want to upload it to iTunes, but when I hook up to computer, iTunes wants to overwrite the iPod. I fear I'll lose it all. Any help?

Hey blite923,
Thanks for the question. If these are purchased songs, you can transfer purchases from your iPod to your computer without syncing:
Re-download or transfer your iTunes Store purchases from an iPhone, iPad or iPod to a computer - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1848
Transfer your purchases to your computer
Before you transfer your purchases, make sure that your computer is authorized with the same Apple ID account you used to make the purchases. Learn how to authorize your computer using iTunes.
If you bought the iTunes Store content on your device using multiple Apple ID accounts, you'll need to authorize the computer for each one.
To transfer purchases from your device to a computer:
Connect your device to the computer. Wait for its icon to appear in iTunes.
Go to File > Devices. If you're using iTunes for Windows and can't see the menu bar, learn how to turn on iTunes menus in Windows.
Choose Transfer Purchases from [device name].
This feature works only for content bought from the iTunes Store. Any items that you imported from audio CDs or received from other sources won't copy from your device to the iTunes library. However, all podcasts from your device's Podcasts app and copies of all PDFs and books from your device's iBooks app will transfer to the computer. Learn how to transfer media to your iTunes library.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Okay so I set up my Time Capsule already and is now backing up 2 of my iMacs. Works great. What I want to know is how to use the TC to directly store files? I want to do this to delete some files but still have them on the TC for future reference..

Okay so I set up my Time Capsule already and is now backing up 2 of my iMacs. Works great. What I want to know is how to use the TC to directly store files? I want to do this to delete some files on iMac 20inch but still have them on the TC for future reference..eg some movies on iTunes. I want to directly save them on the drive so I can delete them from iTunes and gain some storage. (Ps on iMac 20 inch (it's almost full - 320 GB) when I enter time machine, a tab comes up on finder which reads "Time Machine backups" it's able to be ejected like a disc or a connected device. On the iMac 20 inch, I dragged some files onto there as if using it like a hard drive. Is this the correct method? Then I went to my 27inch iMac and saw the "Time Machine Backups" hoping to see the files I dragged from the 20inch iMac. But the files were not there except a folder that said "Backups.backupdb". Can someone help me?

It's not a good idea to use a network disk for both Time Machine backups and other things. By design Time Machine will eventually consume all the space on its output disk, which will then cause problem for your other files. I'd store those other files on an external disk connected to the Time Capsule. The problem with that is that Time Machine will only back up files that are local to your Mac. That means that you'll only have one copy of the files on or attached to your Time Capsule.

I have jumped from 5.1 to CC. When I open a file originated in illustrator 5.1 in CC it changes the CMYK breakdown. Have tried colour setting changes in Bridge but still have differences. Help!

Any warnings when opening the file?
You might need to reset all warnings in preferences.
Apart from that itlooks like your color management settings are set to convert into profile. This is absolutely not advisable.

I cant find my iphoto but still have pics

I can't seem to find my iphoto, playing with computer a while back and seem to have removed it, but still have all of my pics under "pictures" Is there anyway I can bring back iphoto. Unfortunately I am not very techy at all. Help !!

In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-A. The Applications folder opens. Locate the iPhoto icon in that folder and drag it into the Dock (not to the Desktop.) If iPhoto is not in the Applications folder, then you deleted it. Either restore it from a backup or reinstall it.

There's no way to delete all message threads at one go. You can however do one contact thread at a time.
In Messages app where you see a list of messages from different contacts, tap Edit (top left), tap the red (on the left), then tap the red Delete button on the right.

Can I archive years worth of emails but still have them accessible?

I copy the Mail folder from my user library back & forth between my home machine & work machine every day. There are several accounts, and most are POP, so I'd lose Sent emails if I didn't do this. My Mail folder is now over 1.6 GB representing 10 years of email. I feel pretty stupid copying it all twice a day. I'd like to archive most of it. but still have it searchable & accessible. Is there an app for this?

Yes, I fully understand that function, but that does not provide any backup to something happening on one computer alone that might resync with the IMAP server, and result in loss of messages even on the server. You are correct that it provides some backup to an event on the server, but that is very imperfect, since those messages cached on the hard drive will be lost if connection is established to the server, but the messages are no longer on the server.
I let Time Machine and my other backup system take care of that for me. If something were to happen that wiped out my IMAP account, I would just restore my Mail folder from one of the hourly backups from Time Machine. Or I would make sure I don't check mail from another one of my Macs before I restore from its local cache. I have enough fallbacks to keep a complete loss of the server contents from slowing me down.
Anyway, a complete server failure would not threaten much of my actual mail. 95% of my mail (the older stuff) has been dragged out of the online folders and into one of the offline "On My Mac" folders, so that 95% would not be affected by anything that happens on the server. These local offline folders are easily mirrored into the Mail folders of my other Macs that I can check mail from. Email is too important to only have one working copy of.
