Deauthorized one computer but I still show I have 5 authorized

So now I'm trying to authorize a new one, and I'm told I can't. Can't Deauthorize all because I did it less than a year ago. This is an ongoing problem. Please help!

So I read the article referenced (thanks) and what worries me is this: The only way to determine if you have more than one authorization on a computer is to deauthorize it until it is "fully" deauthorized. My previous experience (noted above) is that when I deauthorize a computer, I still have 5 showing as authorized.
So if I try this, I could end up deauthorizing a computer and have no way of reauthorizing it.
Sorry about the convoluted language, but this is a strange problem

  • I keep downloading Firefox 8.0 onto my computer but it still shows that I am running 3.5.6 (something like that). How do I get the downloads to actually install and then run?

    I keep downloading Firefox updates of 8.0 but it says I am still using 3.56 (something like that). How do I actually install the Firefox updates and then run them? They are downloaded but apparently they are not running. How do I make them run?
    My current version of Firefox continues to (not responding) when I try navigating and it is very frustrating. I am ready to uninstall Firefox and go back to Explorer. Help.

    found a fix... had this today.
    I deleted FirefoxExtensionsSetup within this folder:
    HD/Applications/Adobe Contribute CS5.1/SupportFiles/FireFoxExtension
    Then Firefox worked.
    Good luck to all... delete at your own risk.

  • Removed authorization on old computer, but iTunes still tells me I have 5 authorizations in iTunes on other computers, and I need to remove one before I can auth. my new mac! arrrgh!!

    I'm trying to authorize my new mac in iTunes, but it keeps telling me i need to remove one authorization from another computer.
    I removed the authorization from my old laptop - but it STILL tells me i need to remove one authorization before my new mac can be authorized!! I even removed iTunes on the old computer, but it still doesn't work! What do I do?? I want the music from my iMac to be on my MacBook as well!

    Once a year, you can also perform a step called "deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID".  It will clear all 5 authorizations so you can reauthorize the one you want.
    Follow the procedure here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420

  • Why is home sharing showing up on one computer but not the other?

    My homesharing is showing up on one computer but not the other! They are both under the same account and both iTunes are up to date. Unfortunatally, of course its showing up on the computer that I dont need it on. Please help me! Thanks!

    It could be a firewall issue. Try disabling the firewall and see if that helps.

  • My iphone turned off after I got off the phone. It was fully charged and it went black. I plugged it into my wall charger and my computer, but nothing has showed up, its still dead. It was totally fine before. What happened?

    My iphone turned off after I got off the phone today. It was more than half way charged and it went totally black. I plugged it into my wall charger and my computer, but nothing has showed up. It doesn't register on the computer either, the charge symbol doesn't appear, and there is no apple logo to be found.  I have no idea what happened! It was totally fine before. I tried charging another ipod with my usb and wall charger to make sure that they were still working, and they weren't the problem. What happened? Is the phone dead for good? I have a 3G if that changes anything. THANKS!

    Press and hold both the on/off button and the home button and release them both when the apple logo appears.  That will reboot the phone.  try that.

  • TS4009 How do I clean up mail in my icloud?  I have already deleted old mail on all devices, and emptied the junk & deleted files, but it still shows that I am at max on my icloud. What do I do to free up space? (photos & apps do not take up that much roo

    How do I clean up mail in my icloud?  I have already deleted old mail (from all my e-mail accounts) on all devices, and emptied the junk & deleted files, but it still shows that I am at max on my icloud. What do I do to free up space? (photos & apps do not take up that much room).  When I go to manage storage on any device & it will display how much room each program or app is using, it still shows that my e-mail is taking up the most room.  Is there a way to actually log on to the icloud server to manage what it stored there?  If so, how do I do it?  Also, on a related subject,  why does my mail not sync accross all devices?   ie. when I delete an email on one device, why do I still see it on all my other devices?  How can I change this?
    I have an iphone5, ipad2, ipod 4th gen, ipod 3rd gen, all running on my same apple id - but I have a PC not a Mac home computer - is this part of the problem?  Looking to upgrade to a Mac sometime this year...
    Thank-you for the help!

    I do have the Time Capsule and spoke to Apple Care here in Sydney about it yesterday.  They told me my mail is not backed up there unless I create a special folder. I just tried ringing them again but Apple Care is closed today...
    Mail is backed up automatically. If you make backups automatically, open Mail application and then, open the Time Machine app (in /Applications/Utilities). You will access to the Time Machine interface, and you will be able to see all your mails of all the backups you have, and you will be able to restore them. It means that your mails are backed up onto the Time Capsule

  • My iphone will not sync to itunes. It will connect to the computer but will not show up anywhere in itunes. PLEASE HELP!!

    My iphone will not sync to itunes. It will connect to the computer but will not show up anywhere in itunes. PLEASE HELP!!

    Hey there Kellee,
    It sounds like the device drivers for your iPhone are working in Windows, but the phone is not showing in iTunes. You should be able to get that showing again with the steps in this article:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    Start with these three steps, and there are more in the article if you need them.
    1. Update iTunes
    Check that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. In iTunes, select "Check for updates" in the Help menu.
    2. Check the USB cable
    Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
    USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might support only charging those products (and not transmitting data) or they might work only with the product with which they were sold. Using one of these cables to sync could cause issues. If you are using a third-party case, such as an extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
    3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    iOS devices require Apple Mobile Device Support, which should be automatically installed with iTunes. To verify whether it is installed, follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
    Windows XP: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Open the "Add or Remove Programs" control panel and verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Click "Uninstall a program" (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click "Programs and Features"). Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
    Windows 8: Move the cursor to the upper right corner, click the magnifying glass, type Control Panel,and press Return. Click "Uninstall a program". Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
    If Apple Mobile Device Support is not listed, remove iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support, and then reinstall iTunes. Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below:
    Reinstall iTunes for Windows XP
    Reinstall iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    If after reinstalling iTunes Apple Mobile Device Support is still not installed, follow steps in Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • A song I purchased on iTunes has dropped out from my iPhone - but it still shows purchased in iTunes...but it won't let me download it again.

    A song I purchased on iTunes has dropped out from my iPhone - but it still shows purchased in iTunes...but it won't let me download it again.
    Any ideas?

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • Win8.1 hard drive will not load in one computer but will in another

    I have a HP s3707c (product FQ578AA-ABA, Software build 91NAv6PrA1). Win8.1. This computer got stuck in the "preparing automatic repair" loop and will not start windows. It freezes with the windows icon showing and no spinning circle of dots appear. I made a recovery USB and it will not start from it either. I thought that it might be a hard drive problem (or software), but the HP diagnostic test from hitting F9 on start up indicate that everything passes.  I have a second computer that is the same type, so I took the hard drive out of the computer having problems and put it in the one that is not having problems. It started up just fine. I put the hard drive from the good computer into the one having problems and it still would not start up windows from the drve or from the recovery disk. Any suggestion on how I should proceed diagnosing the problem on this machine not starting up windows? 

    Hello D1P. I understand that the hard drive will work on one computer, but not another one. I do have to point out that the computer you pointed out (FQ578AA), does not have Windows 8.1 drivers, as indicated here. You should reference this document for more information: What if I don't see my operating system.
    If you are interested in troubleshooting the issue under this environment, you can test the computer for hardware failures. If there is an error, this indicates that the computer could have a hardware failure. Otherwise, you are likely facing a compatibility issue.
    Please let me know the results of you troubleshooting. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Is there a way to hide apps from the app store? I don't want my kids to see those "free" apps that nag you to spend real money and download their other apps! I can hide them from "purchased apps", but they still show up when browsing for new apps!

    Not other than parental oversight. On the computer you can implement Parental Controls on a separate user account that they would use. You can then block certain websites. But you cannot do that on the iPad.
    You could change your iTunes account such that they cannot access it in order to buy or download apps.

  • HT204053 I changed my Apple ID on all my devices and Apple services but iCloud still shows my old Apple ID. How can I get it to update?

    I changed my Apple ID on all my devices and  services but iCloud still shows my old Apple ID. How can I get it to update?

    I asked the Apple Tech support people and their advice worked for me, it's a setting on the iPad itself. see below.
    Follow the below instructions to sign in with your new account name.
    1) From the home screen, tap Settings
    2) Tap Store
    3) Tap Sign Out
    4) Tap Sign In
    5) Enter your current account name "xxxx" and your password  and tap OK.
    If you are still unable to change the sign in name on your iPad, please sign into your account on your computer and then sync the iPad so the changes will be updated.
    good luck

    Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

    No don't restore your iphone. I've done that several times & it has never worked. -I still have deleted contacts in my iphone texts.  *However if you do restore it you will not lose all your data, pics, text messages etc if you backup in iCloud. It restores back to original phone. Very nice :). Anyhowwww....
    I JUST  figured it out!! :))). Remove the contact from recents.
      Start a text. You should see the deleted contact. All the way to the right of the name is a symbol. The symbol is a circle with "i" in the middle. Click that symbol then in red lettering click "remove from recents".
