Deauthorize once per year?

I reinstall Windows a lot. I upgrade, I reinstall. I get frustrated, I reinstall. You get the idea.
Apparently I've used all 5 licenses for iTunes. I've deauthorized all before, maybe a year ago... now it's telling me that I can't deauthorize until July 31. What is with that?
There's some tracks on here I need for my sister's graduation party.

You can only use the "deauthorise all" function once a year, that's how it's supposed to work. You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service there may be something they can do from their end, it's worth a try. You can email them from any of the links on this page: iTMS Customer Service
It's worth remembering this limitation and apart from crashes which can't be planned for to deauthorise before reformatting.

  • Deauthorizing - Once per year rule?

    Hello,
    I have run into a problem with deauthorizing my computers on my iTunes account. I work in a research lab that is constantly setting up, working on, breaking, and reformatting machines. I install iTunes on them so I can listen to my music while I work. I have paid for over $700 worth of music legally through iTunes and now I can not listen to it anymore because Apple only allows me to "deauthorize" once a year?
    Why is there this rule and how can I get around it? It is 2006, I can't believe it is a huge hit on their servers to allow accounts to be deauthorized dynamically. I paid for this music. I am a responsible adult. Why can't I be trusted to deauthorize my machines?
    Any insight or help on this frustrating issue would be great. I am starting to see why people are working their way over to file sharing programs like Acquisition.
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    Such limitations are required by the record companies. Every legal download store carrying major label content has similar restrictions, many of them more severe.
    Sorry, but if you didn't deauthorize your systems before they left your control and have already used up your one-time mass deauthorization, you may be out of luck. You can try contacting the iTunes Music Store customer support department through the form at the bottom of this web page and explaining the problem to them; perhaps they'll grant an exception this time.
    For the future, keep the deauthorization requirements in mind before you let a computer out of your hands. Or stick to importing from CDs, which as of today have no authorization limitations (though that may change in the not-too-distant future).

  • Question about education version of cs6: once per year restriction and cross platform

    I am an education use of cs6, which I currently use on my mac.  I now have a windows pc, which I would also like to use cs6 on concurrently.  My understanding is my existing license doesn't cover cross-platform use, so I would have to buy a new license.  However, education licenses also have a once per year restriction (ie. you can only buy 1 license per title per year).  So my question is, for the purpose of the once per year restriction, does the windows version count as a different title from the mac version (ie, is it once per year per title per platform)?

    RESTRICTIONS ON USE
    You may purchase only one license per platform of any Adobe Student and Teacher Edition product per year. Purchases of suite editions (such as Design Premium or Master Collection) are limited to one title per platform per year. Adobe Student and Teacher Edition products may be used only on your privately owned computer and may not be resold.
    Even though that's a UK link, I cannot find any other info on Adobe's website which is similar in content so I assume those rules are global.

  • I need to replace my keyboard about once per year.  What gives?

    I purchase an Apple brand keyboard and it works fine for what I think is about one year, perhaps a bit less. Eventually, one or more keys fail. Right now I have to trigger the caps lock in order to get caps on specific letter keys; the shift key doesn't work for certain keys. I tried using compressed air and even ran one keyboard through the dishwasher. The first had no effect, the second did for a time but again the problem reoccurred. I can't believe that a one-keyboard-per-year situation is usual. Thoughts?

    Unless you've been taking such advice as "type in such-and-such a command in Terminal and hit Return" to mean hitting the keys with a ball peen hammer, or regularly spilling soda on the keyboard, then a new keyboard per year is indeed excessive. Even keyboards kept in clean rooms tend to wear over a few years and start sticking; in normal home use, pet hairs and food crumbs seem to find their way under the keys and can gum things up within two years or so. Spilled soda is notoriously effective at killing keyboards; research a few sites showing how the chemicals in soda corrode the printed circuit traces on the keyboard membrane is good incentive to stop drinking soda.
    Normal width keys can readily be pried up off the posts using the non-swab end of an electronics cleaning swab, which you should be able to find in any electronics store (think ear swabs on steroids); you can then use the swab end, saturated in isopropyl alcohol, to clean under the keys. Double-width keys such as the spacebar and Enter keys have a simple metal spring underneath; those require a little more care to pry up without snapping off the plastic tabs that the spring ends slip under (pry one end up, then work out the spring end, then pop the rest of the key off towards the direction of the freed end). If you pull keys off to clean underneath, try working on just a few at a time; disconnect the keyboard, of course; and use the tip provided by littleshoulders in these forums a while back to open up Keyboard Viewer first so that you can refer to it to make sure you replace the keys in the correct spots. Keys go back on by aligning the hole in the key over the post on the keyboard and pressing straight down (long/wide keys, skip the spring ends in place first).
    Unless the keyboard shows real evidence of abuse, such as soda stains and hammer marks, another thing to consider is that last time I checked, the standard warranty on Apple's keyboards was one year. If your keyboard is failing after 11 months, it could be worth your time to contact AppleCare and ask for a replacement. That, ot bookmark an online discount vendor for inexpensive keyboards (try CompUSA or Small Dog Electronics).

    You cannot deauthorize all more than once per year.
    You can ask Apple for assistance, however, by contacting them via your Account or Support link under Quick Links in iTunes Store.

  • Only use htmldb_item once per page?

    Not sure how to word this correctly.
    Am I correct in assuming that I can only use the htmldb_item once per page? I know it can be used multiple times within the tabular report, but if I used it again on the same page in a different region, how would it be distinguishable from a previous iteration?
    Say I have two regions on a page, both with manually created tabular reports using the htmldb_item syntax. It's not apparent to me (if there is a way), on how using the htmldb_application syntax to distinguish between region 1 and region 2. They both would wind up with g_f01, etc. variables, but I don't see any other characteristics to differentiate between them, like maybe passing a region (or any other) name to the htmldb_item construct so the the arrays could be distinguished more?
    This is all new to me, I've been out of loop for the last 8 years doing manual data cleanup from an old database that was basically a spreadsheet (a real mess!), so forgive me again if I'm missing anything obvious or just way off base.
    Thanks.

    Bill,
    You are correct that you want to avoid populating values in the same global arrays g_f0n more than once by creating tabular forms in two regions. It would be hard to distinguish from which region values in a particular array came. You can, however use g_f01..g_f10 for one region and then g_f11..g_f20 for another region.
    This assumes you're doing manual process of these arrays, because the processes used by the wizard can only deal with one tabular form per page.

  • Receive all emails once per day

    I have had my Blackberry for over 2 years now and have never had trouble receiving emails until last week.  Now I only get emails once per day......all of them come at once.  I haven't changed any settings - anybody have any suggestions.
    Thanks

    Hi
    The Blackberry is designed to be reset by removing the battery whilst the device is powered-on. Leave the battery out for a minute or 2.
    See if that resolves the problem. If not then more information will be needed before making suggestions. Please provide as much as you are able of the the following
    Blackberry Model.
    Carrier Name.
    Do you have a Data Plan?
    Operating System Version go to Menu > Options > About - it looks like v5.0.0.681
    Memory for Device and SD Card Options > Memory
    Any error statement or code.
    The Exact nature of problem - the more info the better.
    When this started and whether it started just after an update or new App download and which App/s theme/s download.

    Unless you're currently on a yearly plan, no. Apple no longer offers them to new subscribers.

  • Horrible video skip / lag problem - once per second in all apps!

     I built a new system last month (my first AMD) and I am having a really aggravating problem. In all games and all video playback I get an annoying skip once per second, every second. It affects sound during gameplay but not during movie or mp3 playback. It even happens with the visualization mode in Windows Media Player.
    My system is as follows: MSI K8N Neo4-F, A64 3200+ venice core, MSI 6800GT 256MB PCI-E, two sticks of Corsair valueselect DDR400 512MB each, 500 watt PS, 160GB 7200 SATA HDD. Most recent NVIDIA drivers for everything. WinXP Pro with SP2 and all updates, DX9C. Nothing overclocked, all settings standard.
    I have tried the following solutions:
    1) BIOS upgrades, started with 1.4, installed 1.5, MSI tech support gave me 1.6b2 and I installed that. No luck with any of them.
    2) Memory, installed per MSI directions, but I've tried all legal combinations, including one stick at a time. No change.
    3) full format and reinstall of WinXP. No luck.
    4) Switching between WinXP IDE drivers and NVidia drivers, with and without RAID drivers, No luck.
    5) Removal of 6800GT PCI-E card and replacing with Ancient 8MB PCI Permedia2 video card. Problem still persists.
    6) Disable onboard sound and LAN. No luck.
    7) Running Fedora core 4 on second partition. Installed Nvidia video drivers, tried some games. THIS WORKS! No hitch, no skip, no nothing. Framerates are noticably slower but very stable. In WinXP I saw framerates bounce all over the place, from 230 FPS down to about 70 with one game. That same game on Linux ran smoothly at about 166 FPS with only occasional slight drops. The big FPS drops in Windows usually came right after one of the skips but didn't occure after every skip.
    Right now I'm stumped. Linux uses totally different drivers for sound, LAN and SATA support. Some of those drivers don't fully use the Nforce4 chipset's features, maybe that's part of the difference.

    Thanks TireSmoke:
    I had found that sticky, but I took your advice and went thorugh it in detail last night.  Lots of great info, fixes tweaks and tools, sadly none of them fixed my problem.  The lag problem most people are reporting is not really like the wierd problem I am having.  I have tried the recoommended fixes with ablsolutely no change in my system's behavior.
    I am beginning to suspect a faulty motherboard component.
    Russ_XP:
    I think you are correct about fast writes.  I googled the heck out of that last night and couldn't find any reference to enabling or disabling fast writes on PCI-E.
    The drive is SATA-1.  The Neo4-F is not SATA-2 enabled (there is a hack for it though).  From memory I think it's a Western Digital WD1600-something, 7200 RPM dirve.  I've tried it on both SATA buses and tried disabling the unused bus in BIOS.
    I'm pretty sure I can dig up an old PATA drive somewhere and give that a try.
    Gpalmer:
    True enough, and I don't have these problems under Fedora.  Sadly this is a cross-platform game development box, I need both XP and Fedora working.
    Black_God:
    Nope, this is a clean install.  Although I wonder, could any of the built in XP update and security tools be causing this?  I have disabled Windows firewall and virus protection monitoring.
