Deauthorizing computers on itunes - problem with aol email
I understand you can only authorize up to 5 computers per apple ID and cannot combine apple IDs.
I am trying to play old songs purchased with an old aol ID. It appears that myscreenname and [email protected] are two different apple IDs.
I am able to sign into itunes using [email protected] and it says 3 computers are authorized
I am not able to sign into itunes using myscreenname because it says "you need to change your account to use an apple ID. To continue to use the Itunes store you must create an apple ID." When I hit update account and try to make one, it says I already have an account with this email address and that I can just log in.
But when I click on the old songs it prompts me to type in my password for myusername NOT [email protected]
I know this is confusing...
I believe I need to "deauthorize" all computers on myusername but I cannot log into that because of what I described above...
Ok i figured it out! Just putting this up here in case anyone else had this problem:

I did this but changed the email address to a new one that I actually have now, which took me to the original old account but called it by this new email address. From the account page I could deauthorize all computers.

I'm having problems with excessive email usage on my iphone 4/ios 7. Just noticed that it (settings/usage) was using 900+ mb. I deleted all my mail, deleted the mail account, turned the phone off and back on, downloaded any remaining mail on the server to Outlook on my computer, and it still says it's using 661 mb. My ipad uses a fraction of that.
Background: I recently (December) bought an ipad and set up icloud for contacts and calendar, but NOT mail. My email provider is Verizon. I use computer, iphone, and ipad to check my email; eventually I download it from the server using Outlook on the computer and then delete any remaining emails from the phone and ipad. I can't find info on this problem anywhere.Howdy there COUGAR444,
It sounds like your iPad all of a sudden seems to be restarting out of no where. If you haven't called AppleCare yet, I would start with quitting either the app that seems to be causing the issue, or all the apps if a single doesn't seem to be the culprit.
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes, then restore it as new and verify that it works.
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,

Very often I get a contact error message when I try to us my contact list to send an e mail. If I use internet exployer I don't have a problem, so it can't be a problem with aol..

I hope Ali B sees this posting. Looks like you are the AOL Whiz. But I will be just as grateful if anyone has suggestions. I am new to posting, and as other newbies have asked, please forgive my inexperience.
When I saw rsw90's dilemma about continuous problems with AOL, it hit a nerve. I have been an AOL member for decades as well, and have had to deal with cross-platform issues and file cabinet incompatibilities as I went from being a MAC man since 1984 to being forced to the Dark Side by business demands and returned to sanity. The problem is that AOL has seriously neglected MAC, and I seek the mercy of the enlightened about how to navigate this minefield.
In August, my file cabinet (AOL 10.3.7) stopped allowing me to save inbox mail to my personalized file folders using the "save to" button. I communicated with some very lame AOL personnel in Mumbai who promised to escalate the ticket, and I never got any sensible help. Then, the file cabinet froze up and shut down my AOL every time I tried to access. AOL help was useless. It was then that they told me that AOL doesn't automatically back up the file cabinet for MAC as they do for PC users and told me to accept the file cabinet was "corrupted" and "unrecoverable" -- something I cannot accept because there were over 20,000 saved e-mails that have serious impact legally.
As it turns out, the signs were there earlier that the file cabinet was becoming unstable due to the storage volume and I could have protected this by transferring or deleting. I could also have been instructed how to back up externally if they had thought to tell me. Another interesting fact is that the corruption only affected my main user sign-on ID, and none of the others.
Nevertheless, I made copies of the file cabinet that was inaccessible in the desperate hope that someone out there could help me move them to another program and open them, or repair the corruption. I learned from Ali B's posting how to install AOL Service Assistant, which touted that it can open corrupt file cabinets in Mail, but I'm not figgerin' well. I did set up the IMAP for my current AOL, but it only imported the file folders from my current AOL File Cabinet (post-crash e-mails) -- none of the contents. It did start importing my inbox, however. What I am hoping is that I may be able to set up a separate Mail account where I can attempt to import the saved corrupt File Cabinet and plan for the big celebration.
Any ideas?Hi stevekinney2!
You probably have a corrupt PFC - Your AOL Personal Filing Cabinet, caused by an excess amount of stored items.
And I am assuming, that you do not a system backup, correct?
NO guarantees, but try this procedure.
First, If you are able to, open your Filing Cabinet from the AOL Menubar's contextual File menu. If you can't do that while signed on, try signing off, but don't quit AOL, and try again.
If there are things in there that you can't bear to lose, there are a few ways you can save them.
Method 1. Drag the item/items to a New Folder on the Desktop. Name the folder something like Old PFC. This folder can later be placed wherever you wish.
Method 2. Open the item/items, select Save or Save As from the AOL Menubar's contextual File menu. The files will be copied to the Desktop. You can then put them all in a folder, as in method #1.
Method 3. Open the item/items and make copies in a Word Processing application and again, save to a new folder. This folder can also be placed anywhere you choose, such as the Documents folder, in your Home Account folder, located;
HD > Users > Your Home Account > Documents
After you have verified, that the Email transfer was successful, sign off, and quit AOL.
Go to: HD > Users > Shared > America Online: HERE, you'll find (Your Screenname)'s Filing Cabinet.
Move that file to the Trash, but DO NOT empty the Trash. If this procedure does not rectify your situation, you can replace the new PFC with the old one. But I wouldn't recommend it.
Load AOL, Sign-on and see if it's fixed. If all is well, and you've made the copies of important data, there's really nothing in the old PFC that you need, so you can empty the Trash.
I've never had this particular problem, but I seldom keep more than a few items in my AOL PFC.
If I want to keep an article of mail, I use method #3.
If that doesn't clear it up, sign off and quit AOL. Pull your AOL Your Screenname's Favorites folder, which is located:
HD > Users > Shared > America Online: HERE, to the Desktop.
When you relaunch AOL, a new Your Screenname's Favorites folder will be created.
If the problem is corrected, you can drag the old copy of Your Screenname's Favorites, that is on the Desktop to the Trash, and empty it.
If that doesn't do it you can replace the new Your Screenname's Favorites with the old copy of Your Screenname's Favorites, that is on the Desktop, but again, I don't recommend it.

Problems with AOL e-mail and Droid Charge
Problems with AOL e-mail and Droid Charge
After setting up my AOL email account on my Charge, it has been syncing new messages ok, but I've been having other problems:
- Syncing AOL mail: I have the Charge set to sync 50 emails (set up the same way as my Comcast Account) but the AOL account pulls up the last 50 old emails and delivers them to the phone. (Comcast does not do this). If I delete these old messages, it just pulls up the same amount of even older mail. Very frustrating. Because of the 2nd problem below, some of these messages were actually deleted on my AOL account before I realized what was happening. It seems I have to just keep 50 old mails on my Charge to prevent this from happening. Any ideas?
- Second problem (kinda related) Deleting Old Mail: When I delete AOL emails I have read on the Charge, they are also deleted from my 'old mail' folder on AOL and sent to deleted mail. This is not how it worked on my BB Storm2. After deleting them with the Storm, the AOL mail would show them as read and put them in 'old mail' unless I told the Storm to delete them from the server. I cannot find any "choice" option on the Charge. I hate this because the "deleted mail" folder on AOL dumps its contents much more quickly than the "old mail" folder. How do I stop this from happening?
FYI, both Comcast and g-mail are working as they should.....
Thanks,Dear Richs10,
As to the second problem, I have seen this before in other threads. The only solution I can come up with is to delete the AOL account and set it up on the phone from scratch. The reason for this is that the ONLY time you are able to see the option for leaving email on the server (or removing them) after reading on the phone is during the account setup process. After the account is set up, there seems to be no way to access this setting again. Kind of dumb, IMHO, but that seems to be the case.
If you need step-by-step walkthrough of the account setup, PM me. -

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Problems with Charter Email Servers Made Me Think iOS5 Was Faulty
Just a little heads up here for someone who has been having problems with their Charter email accounts not pulling email to their iphones.
I decided to install iOS5 last weekend and my phone was being very irratic in pulling email from my Charter account starting a few days ago. Before calling Charter this morning I decided to delete the Charter account from my iphone and re-add it. I kept running into problems when trying to put in the exact same information that was there for the servers. I called Charter Tech Support and they kept blaming Apple.
So after some Googling I came with this posted yesterday.................
I have just spent a couple of hours with Charter Tech Support tracing a problem with their email POP settings. Many people had been using mail.charterinternet.com and smtp.charterinternet.com as a POP account in their settings. This server was decommissioned on Wednesday, 10/26/2011. These settings no longer work.
Charter advises on their website that you set the email up as an IMAP account and use mobile.charter.net. These settings work for me EXCEPT there is no option to leave the email on the server. If you check your email on your phone with these settings, the email will be deleted from the server.
Charter is aware of this issue, and are planning to make changes to allow people to connect via POP to Charter to get their email. I will post a response here as soon as they call me back with the settings.I'm confused, how can it be a violation of Terms of Service to state problems I'm having with an App and concerns that it could be a scam? Surely it should be the other way round - that they have some kind of TOS to follow that stops them doing this!?
Like I said, I've tried contacting the developer and they aren't interested...I've also left negative feedback, but that achieves nothing. I've complained direct to Apple/iTunes, but they just refer me back to the developer.
I'll delete the contents of my original post as I don't want to get my account shut down if it is a breach of TOS, but that seems crazy and just gagging people who are trying to raise concerns I wasn't just ranting though, I was trying to find out how many other people are in the same boat as me - in the hope that if everyone gets together and complains then maybe something will be done!
Seems mad that developers can get away with doing whatever they like and I'm not allowed to even talk about it.
Edit: I can't see how to edit my original post?

This Mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with <my email address>
Open iCloud preferences to fix this problem"
I go to IC Preferences but there is nothing I can fix there that is relative.
My outbox is no longer working in MAIL so I cannot email out. I have to use my wife's MBP to send emails.
I can get emails. I didn't change anything in m,ail preferences, so what is Apple doing to me?I also have had this problem and see no resolution - signed out of my account and signed in again, did not get any resolution to the problem. done this twice. Is Apple addressing this? I thought that 10.10.1 would resolve this but found to my dismay that there has been no resolution. Each time I log out of iCloud and then sign in again, there is a time lag before all my files in iCloud become accessible so have stopped trying this remedy. I also have issues with iTunes where am asked for my password 4 times before I can log in. Would like to know if there is anything in the pipeline to remedy/rectify this problem. Issues with bad internet connectivity have improved but are still there. Wish Apple would spend some more time in testing and resolving issues before releasing new software.

Since updating to iso6.0 I have had problems with my email exchange account syncing correctly - I keeps loosing connection with the server.
Are you losing the connection to iTunes on the iPad or the computer? You are saying that iTunes is updated. Of course iTunes is updated when you update the iOS software. That's a no brainer.
If you mean that iTunes is updated on the computer, that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with downloading and updating apps on the iPad itself so changing the date on the iPad, signing in and out of the stores on the iPad .... Doing any of that on the iPad would have nothing to do with iTunes on your computer.
If .... you have not been able to connect to the iTunes or app stores at all on the iPad - try this ...
Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If you can't connect at all - you can also try rebooting your router. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again. -
After upgrading to firefox 3.6 I have problem with hotmail email service
after upgrading to firefox 3.6.4 I have problem with hotmail email service, however I can login in hotmail, I can't open mails or delet or do anything else with them.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://hotmail.msn.comThank you, but I already have "always show tabs bar" set.
Also, I have two computers and the other is running the exact same version of Firefox, and the exact same theme, but it does not have this problem.
To make sure I'm being clear: there is an "x" on each tab that allows me to close it when I have multiple tabs open. When I have only one tab open, there is no "x"; so in order to close the webpage I have to open another empty tab, and then close the first. My other computer has the "x" to close the tab visible even when there is only one tab so that I can close the page and have an empty (marked "(untitled)" tab). Please help! -

My daughters iPad has just been factory restored from the apple shop, she was using my iTunes account with her email. When trying to create her own iTunes as she is the correct age it has come up that her email is already being used. How do we do this with he same email address
Hello spooner68,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to create an Apple ID for your daughter. Because her email address is associated with your Apple ID, you are receiving the message that the email address is in use.
To remedy this, you will have to first remove her email address from your account using steps 1-3 of the section titled "How to add an additional email address that is already associated with another Apple ID" in the article below and then attempt to create her Apple ID with her email address:
How to add an additional email address that is already associated with another Apple ID
If you have an email address that is already associated with another Apple ID, you may need to remove it from your other Apple ID before you can add it to your preferred Apple ID.
Sign in to My Apple ID with the Apple ID that has the email address already associated with it.
Find the email address that you want to move to your preferred Apple ID, then click Delete.
Click Save Changes, then click Sign Out at the top of the page.

Print problem with Yahoo email
Ever since upgrading to Safari Version 7.0.1 (9537.73.11), I have had several different problems with printing emails. For the time being, let me ask here about only my AT&T Yahoo mail.
Here is the description of the problem in Yahoo. When I pull down the “Actions” menu to “Print Message,” I get this dialog box:
Print Error
There was a problem printing, most likely caused by a pop-up blocker. Please click Try Again.
Try Again
So I click the button labeled “Try Again,” and Safari opens the email in a new window with a “Print” tool in the upper left corner.
I click the “Print” tool. With multi-page emails, I like printing on both sides. I choose either,
Print Two-sided, or
Print either odd or even pages.
With the former option Safari prints one page of the email and stalls. With the latter Safari prints the whole series of selected pages and stalls. My printer (HP LaserJet Professional P1102w) refuses to print any more pages. I have to go into my printer’s application and stop the print job. Then I have to turn off the printer, wait a while for the machine to re-set, and turn it back on. Then I can print the remaining page or pages.
That’s inefficient. Is there some remedy to get Safari to print emails in Yahoo straight through?Problems like that with Firefox printing look like they are fixed in Firefox 4.

Has anyone had a problem with Draft Emails getting sent with Mac OS 10.8.2? It just happened to me and sent a few drafts out to a potential employer I planned on sending out tomorrow.
Hi, one question & one suggestion...
What possible things are connected at home but not at the store, inlude every cable, etc.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
