DEauthorizing a computer that you don't have access to any more

Using my iPhone and another program, I transferred all of my music to my work computer. However, there are just a few songs, that when I attempt to play them, tell me that I already have 5 computers authorized and that I can authorize no more.
I have my home computer, my iPhone (if that counts) and my work computer. I do not need to have any other computers authorized. I think the other computers must be my former home PC (which is now in a landfill) and a couple computers at my previous job.
So, here's my question. How do you deauthorize computers that you don't have access to anymore? Is there a way to reset to zero somehow and then just reauthorize the computers that I actually use?
Any help would be appreciated!

If you log into your store account you should find an option to deauthorise all your computers. Then you can just reauthorise the ones you want.
You can only do this once a year, so always deauthorise a PC you don't need or if you are going to do repairs etc.

If it is just a few songs, do you have any old accounts? If you go into Get Info>>Summary tab on a problem track, it will tell you the account was used to purchase the song.

  • You don't have access to any End User Layer table

    Hi
    When I created a EUL using Discoverer admin, and also created a business area successfully, then I can't logon using same username in Discoverer desktop, My Discoverer version is 4.1.37. when I logon, I received error message read: You don't have access to any End User Layer table.
    Could someone please give me some instruction, or guide me to do something.
    .

    Hi Prathima
    You should not be able to connect to an Apps mode EUL as an end user in the end user tools.
    As for administration, you need to log in as the owner of the EUL, a database user, and then assign admin rights to an Apps account. Many companies use the SYSADMIN Apps account for this purpose. After you have assigned an Apps user to have admin rights don't forget to grant that user admin privileges over each of your business areas.,
    With this done you should then manage your Discoverer administration using the Apps account.

  • Deauthorizing old computers that you do not have access to

    Hi Folks,
    I need to deauthorize an old work computer that i no longer have access to. I have searched the forum and the help topics and they refer to a deauthorize all button. I have looked on my account page in itunes but it says 2 computers authorised but there is no deauthorize all button? i have not used it this year so that cant be the reason, on the drop down bar it only shows deauthorize this computer.... any suggestions?

    it will be there once you reached the limit of five authorizations.

  • Why does everyone else on their school ipad have access to the App Store and basically anything they want? Why is it that I don't have access to any of that?  How do I get access to that stuff?

    Ok I don't know why in the world everyone else has access to the App Store and almost anything they want. Guess what I have access to? Yea that's right I have access to nothing that they have! I believe that their iPads are glitching and that might be how they got access to them! I hate how I don't have any access when I don't have access to anything that they have access to! They have almost no restrictions on their iPads and I have all the restrictions that the school sets!

    I don't know if you're looking for us to offer a solution to you?  We can't.  If your school has set restrictions on your iPad, you need to discuss this with your school system admin.

  • How do i deauthorize a computer that i don't have access to and I have used my deauthorize all this year

    I had to bring a new computer on line.  I reached my limit of computers (5) that I can authorize for my content.  The computer that I am replacing is dead so I can't deauthorize it and when I try the deauthorize all button it says I can't do that because I must wait a year to do it again.  How do I deauthorize that dead computer if I can't get it running?
    Thanks

    Anyone know how to accomplish this? I have reached my 5 computer limit but two of them are gone! I forgot to deauthorize them before I recycled them.
    Thanks!

    Use the Deauthorize All function if possible, or fill out and submit this form if it isn't.

  • Backing up my iphone - onto new computer - so I lose all songs I did not purchase on itunes? If I copied CDs into itunes on an old computer that I don't have access to anymore and I upgrade my software to 5.0 I lose anything not on the new computer itune?

    So my home computer decided to quit... I am trying to start using my work computer more now. I have itunes with a library of only 150 songs. My iphone has over 550 songs. Even after I sync my phone to my new computer and mark items purchased to be sync it doesn't increase on itunes. I know I've purchased songs on my iphone so that is my first problem...
    Next, at home I copied CDs onto itunes which I sync'd onto my iphone. Am I right that I will lose all these songs now when I update my software?
    To summarize:
    I have no way to back up songs that were not purchased on itunes?
    How do I sync my iphone purchases into itunes correctly (since it isn't working now)
    Will I lose content from my iphone, if it doesn't show up on itunes before I update my software to 5.0?
    Am I making sense?

    iOS 6.1.3 Software Update
    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Since your updating from iOS 4 to iOS 6, you will most likely lose your songs, but if songs were purchased from iTunes, you can try this:
    Downloading past purchases from App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    You can redownload from iTunes on your iTouch, if running iOS 5 or better.

  • My MB crashed, a friend put our hard drive in another computer- windows xp, the original hard drive is running the computer and I don't have access to any of my bookmarks or history. I've searched through all the helps and nothing seems to fit my case.

    I don't know if I have a "profile", can't find the hidden files or instructions to find them, can't find the firefox.exe file on old hard drive - followed each solution as far as I could and nothing has helped so far.

    First of all please remember the advice in my post about backing up information and bookmarks before making changes. Note also
    *if you use options from Windows or Firefox to delete personal information it will (or at least will try to ) delete all information from all versions of firefox installed. Do NOT use such options it is likely to destroy History, Bookmarks and Passwords.
    * you will have only one copy of History, unless you manually backup the database places.sqlite you could easily loose all your History
    IIRC restoring a computer using Windows does not always work in restoring firefox properly, I seem to recall it does not restore all required files.
    ''So, I should be able to follow this help to take care of the problem? Just move it from the original drive to C drive/new profile that's currently running?
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    <u>Recomended method move ''places.sqlite''</u><br/>
    You will need to read the above linked instructions carefully. Rather than trying to move the profile itself I was expecting you to follow instructions to just copy required files such as the Bookmarks and History that would be in the database file ''places.slite''.
    <u>Advanced Method edit ''Profiles.ini' to point at original profile on other Hard Disk Drive'</u><br/>
    There is an alternative method and that is to leave the old profile where it is and use that with the new Firefox installation. I tend to manually move profiles but this is not really recommended as it is easy to make mistakes. You will certainly find the method in the above paragraph easier If you want to try the alternative method then note that
    *a file called ''Profiles.ini'' will need editing
    *you will need to use Relative=0 and the full path
    * see
    ** http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profiles.ini_file
    ** http://kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_profile_folder#Modify_profiles.ini_to_point_to_the_new_location_-_Advanced
    <u>Copy old profile content to New profile</u><br/>
    This should be relatively easy and work If the versions of Firefox are the same and the original profile was working properly. Note you copy the contents and all sub files and folders, but you do not copy the folder name. So do not completely overwrite the new profile, this is because they will have differing names, Firefox adds pseudo random strings to the name.( In the case of your original profile; from your above post; that includes '''''i7twob91''''' in the name)

  • How can I erase a photo album that was uploaded from an old computer that I don't have no more? I have other albums in the Iphone that I don't want to delete.

    How can I erase a photo album that was uploaded from an old computer that I don't have no more? I have other albums in the Iphone that I don't want to delete.

    If you sync with the new computer it will erase the current content from the iphone and replace with the selected content of the new computer.
    The pics that you have taken with the iphone should be imported regularly to your computer as you would with any digital camera.  You can then organize them and sync them back to the iphone if you wish.
    If you have had itunes perform a backup on the new computer, you should get the pics taken with the iphone back, but I would import them before trying anything.

  • HT203167 So my iPhone was stolen and most of the music on there was on a computer that I don't have anymore. Is it possible to get those songs back from my stolen phone or are they gone?

    So my iPhone was stolen and most of the music on there was on a computer that I don't have anymore. Is it possible to get those songs back from my stolen phone or are they gone?

    For iTunes purchased music you might be able to re-download it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes. For music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) then unless you had subscribed to iTunes Match and uploaded it to it from your computer then no, it won't be stored anywhere

    iTunes on tmy new computer shows none of my data and I fear if I sync my iPod with the computer all will be deleted on the iPod.
    I still have everything in iTunes on the old computer.

    Just move your iTunes library to you new computer.  You can transfer iTunes purchases to you new computer from your iPod by:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848Make sure you also move the backup.  You an find where the the backup is located here:

    After you move you stuff to the new computer, restore the iPod from backup.

  • HT4527 how do i sync my ipod with itunes on a new computer, when i don't have access to my old computer?

    how do i sync my ipod with i tunes on a new computer when i don't have access to my old computer?

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • I have an ipod 2nd gen that was synced to a computer that i no longer have access to..now when i plug it in to my current computer itunes wants to delete all my songs!!!!!

    I have a ipod 2nd gen that was synced to a computer that i no longer have access to...now when i plug it in to my new computer it shows the ipod but wants to erase all my music on the ipod in order to use itunes!!!

    I think that's the way it's supposed to work. When you connect to a computer that has iTunes, but is different from the computer you are normally synced to, you are asked if you want to sync to the current computer. If you say yes, it will replace the content of your iPod with what is designated to sync in the iTunes. If you say no, it will leave your content alone, but you won't be able to load any new songs, but you can still use it in disk mode as a storage device.
    The exception is that you can transfer your iTunes store purchases to the new computer from the iPod, but I haven't done that myself. I'm not sure, but I don't think you can transfer non-store tracks, like those you burn from your own CDs. You have to copy those manually and then sync them onto the iPod.
    Anyway, that's how it works with a 6th gen and the latest iTunes. Not sure if there is a limitation with 2nd gen.
