Deauthorizing a computer in iTunes that no longer works.

Is it possible to deauthorize a computer from iTunes, thus freeing up the count of allowable authorized computers? I have a couple of old Windows computers I'm no longer able, or willing, to use. Any help?

Yes. That is the normal way to do it.

If you can get over the un-willingness, open iTunes and use the command Store > Deauthorize Computer.

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

  • How can I merge itunes accounts due to one being on a computer that no longer works?

    I have an account on an old computer that no longer works although we do have it backed up.  My other problem is that the original account is on the computer that does not work and is linked to an email address that was hijacked.  I can not get into that email account and therefor I can not change the email account that the original account is linked with.  My iphone was linked to this account and now I can not download apps because it says there was a problem with the payment source on a prior app.  I can't even figure out what the problem would have been because I can not access the old email account.

    Do you have iTunes match? You need a computer to manage an iTunes match library.

  • HT1420 i need to reauthorize a computer that no longer works. i understand that in order to do this i need to deauthorize all computers using iTunes. will i lose my library when i try and authorize a new computer ?

    i need to de-authorize a computor that no longer works. i undersatnd that i need to de-authroize all computors associated with this acount and then authrorize each computor that i want. question : will i lose my music libary??

    No, you won't lose anything. De-authorising only means not allowing a computer to play purchased content but it won't delete the file.

    I'm going to see if Currys can remove all info from my hard drive and hopefully recover my itunes, but if this does not work is there another way to get them?

    The computer not working in no way means the drive is inaccessible.
    Place the drive in an external enclosure.
    Use the backup of the computer to restore the data to the new computer.

  • Since upgrading iTunes 10, my computer and iTunes are no longer recognizing my iPod Touch.

    Since upgrading iTunes 10, my computer and iTunes are no longer recognizing my iPod Touch.  Would a full reset of my iPod resolve this?  The iPod is still working, I just can't update apps or add songs...  The computer says that "one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctions, and Windows does not recognize it.  iTunes is not seeing the iPod at all....

    Try here:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    You have a driver/service problems and that is covered in the above.

    If they were purchases from iTunes then have you checked to see if you can re-download them (it's not possible in all countries), assuming that they are still available in the store : re-downloading ? If you aren't in a country where you can re-download past music purchases and you haven't got a backup, then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

    I bought Pages ages ago using an iTunes account that no longer works as the email address has been closed down. How can I now update my Pages app, if it asks me to sign in using this now defunct email address?

    All apps are always tied to the account from whaich they were purchased and will always have to be updated using that account.
    Just because the e-mail account is shut down, has nothing to do with the itunes account. Why did you create a new account?  Why not just change the e-mail associated with the old account?

  • Itunes will no longer work on my Windows 8 PC. When I attempt to start the program a message says: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

    Itunes will no longer work on my Windows 8 PC. When I attempt to start the program a message says: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.  I have tried to uninstall iTunes but the Windows uninstaller will not delete the program I get a message that says: A network error occurred while attempting to read file: C:\Windows|Installer|iTunes.msi.  How do I get iTunes to work again?

    Whentrying to uninstall iTunes (the first program that must be uninstalled per the instructions) I get a message:  A network error occurred while attempting to read file: C:\Windows|Installer|iTunes.msi. I can't even uninstall iTunes?
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page).
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
    After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
    Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
    When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
    (2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • ITunes Match No Longer Works With iTunes 11.1.4.62

    After upgrading to iTunes 11.1.4.62 for Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, my iTunes Match no longer works.  It insists that I pay for another subscription even though I have a valid subscription already.  Is anyone else experiencing a similar issue?  What can I do to remedy this problem?

    So I'm guessing that there is no fix for this error?  I see that this patch has caused complete disaster for not only me but for lots of other people as well.  Tell us how to fix our issues or release a new patch!
