Deauthorizing computers that don't exist

How am I supposed to deauthorize computers that don't exist? Every time I've had to reinstall Windows, iTunes eats up another "authorization". Now all 5 authorizations are taken, and my iTunes purchases are useless. I only have 1 computer, Apple, so make this easier for Windows users, will you?

Every time I've had to reinstall Windows, iTunes eats up another "authorization".
Your supposed to deathorize BEFORE a re-install. Not after. iTunes makes it very easy to do that.
Now all 5 authorizations are taken, and my iTunes purchases are useless. I only have 1 computer, Apple, so make this easier for Windows users, will you?
Apple makes it easy enough to de-authorize your computer. You can even do a de-authorize all once a year. Log on your account and you should be able to not only view your authorizations, but have an option to de-authorize all of them.

Deauthorizing computers that no longer exist.

How do you deauthorize a itunes system on a computer that no longer exists. I have replaced computers and did not deauthorize them before discarding. I cannot authorize new systems because of the 5 system limitation in itunes. I want to use home sharing and now I cannot. Any assistance would be appreciated.

You have posted in the itunes U forum. Itunes U is the place where colleges universities and museums post educational material for students.
Perhaps posting in the appropriate forum would help.
If you have reached 5, then you can deauthorize all.

Disable itunes account from computers that don't exist anymore

Hi,
In the past I had authorized my laptop and I guess a couple of other sources with the iTunes store account. That laptop died a sad death on my travels so I left it behind and I can't remember which other places I had authorized it on.
Now I only 1 our of 5 accounts that I can authorize.
Would like to know how to de-authorize from machines I can't get to.
Thanks.

When you reach the limit of 5 then you can deauthorize all, then authorize the active computers.
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization

Need to Deauthorize Computers that don't exist, can't deauthorize all.

Itunes says I am at my limit of 5 computers. In acuality only 3 are active in my account right now. I believe the others are phantoms and are the result of system upgrades where the same computer is now recognized as new. I can't deauthorize all until June 30--the anniversary of the last time I had to do this. What options do I have other than waiting for 3 more months?

None, actually, other than creating a new account.

How do I show a count for rows that don't exist?

Hi, I'm trying to count the number of records grouped by rank(B,C,R),month,and year. Basically, anytime a part fails testing a record is entered which records the failure Rank and occurrence date. A record is only inserted if a part failed for specific rank. So not all 3 ranks will have entries. I'm able to count all ranks by month,year that do exist. But how do I get values of 0 for the ranks that don't exist? I just created a table qa_rank that has just one column rank with 3 records(b,c,r). but its not being used as of now. rank is just a column in qa_occ record.Here is my query.
select to_char(occdate,'YY') as yr, to_char(occdate,'MM') as mn,
rank, count(occdate)
from qa_occ
where q.occdate between '1-Apr-2005'and '31-Mar-2006'
and q.supplier = '11107'
group by to_char(q.occdate,'YY'),to_char(q.occdate,'MM'),q.rank
order by to_char(q.occdate,'YY'),to_char(q.occdate,'MM')
which returns this
YY MM RANK COUNT(OCCDATE)
05 09 C 2
05 10 C 2
05 11 C 1
05 11 R 1
06 01 C 3
06 02 C 1
06 03 B 1
06 03 C 2
I need it to return C,B,R for everymonth. If no records exist then the count for the month,rank should be 0. Any ideas? Thanks.

something like:

Movies that don't exist

front row looks in the movies folder and lists the contents, right?
well it's showing titles in that are not in and have never been
in my movies folder.
nothing happens when selecting these (probably because they don't exist).
of course i can't delete since they do not appear in the finder or
spotlight search.
i tried deleting everything in the movies folder, of course all
that's left in front row are the movies that don't exist.
any suggestions?
Message was edited by: avinbc

Are your movies, even though they're gone from the hard drive, listed in iTunes somewhere? That would make them appear in Front Row even under the Videos section.
The Front Row preference file does not remember anything except which module was the last one you used.

Get rowns that don't exist in any of the tables.

Hi,
I need to implement some views to compare systems.
This views will compare tables with the same structure and I want to extract the rows that don’t exist in any of the sides.
I need to implement some views to compare only two tables, others to compare 3 tables and one to compare 5 tables and another to compare 10 tables!
Each table can contains from a few rows up to 10 million rows (that was the biggest count I found for this tables).
My test scenario:
CREATE TABLE TEST_TABLE
(COL1 NUMBER ,
COL2 CHAR(25));
CREATE TABLE TEST_TABLE2
(COL1 NUMBER ,
COL2 CHAR(25));
CREATE TABLE TEST_TABLE3
(COL1 NUMBER ,
COL2 CHAR(25));
insert into TEST_TABLE (COL1,COL2) values (1,'2');
insert into TEST_TABLE (COL1,COL2) values (11,'t1');
insert into TEST_TABLE2 (COL1,COL2) values (1,'2');
insert into TEST_TABLE2 (COL1,COL2) values (22,'t2');
insert into TEST_TABLE3 (COL1,COL2) values (1,'2');
insert into TEST_TABLE3 (COL1,COL2) values (33,'t3');To find the differences between two tables I implemented the following:
select * from
(select * from TEST_TABLE
minus
select * from TEST_TABLE2
union all
(select * from TEST_TABLE2
minus
select * from TEST_TABLE
Result:
COL1 COL2
11     t1
22     t2                       For the 3 tables comparison The result should be:
Result:
COL1 COL2
11     t1
22     t2
33     t3                       For the other ones I can implement the same way, but for sure this is not the prettiest and most performing solution!
How can I achieve the result I intent with the most performance?
Thanks,
Ricardo Tomás

You didn't say if you allow duplicates in your tables, so i assumed you didn't.
If a single table could have multiple occurrences of a given col1, col2 combination you would need to distinct the col1,col2 list from each table before doing the union all.

How to stop iphoto from recovering photos that don't exist?

I just bought my iMac and transferred all my photos from my backup drive to the iphoto library. In organizing my photos I must have deleted photos or had some corrupted photos in the transfer. Now, every time I open iphoto is says it has recovered 75 or so photos, creates a folder for them, but it's empty. How do I stop it from trying to recovery photos that don't exist? I've searched and have found nothing. The folder generated by iphoto as a recovered folder is empty...

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Can you give me an idea of why this type of error occurred
Because of a minor glitch when iPhoto failed to clean up after an import.
why has this now corrected the error?
iPhoto should remove that Importing Folder at the end of the importing session. When you launched iPhoto again it saw the folder and (incorrectly) assumed there was an import in progress. Removing the folder means that iPhoto won't make that assumption.
There is no reason to assume that the problem wil recur.

HT4527 How to Deactivate PC Computers that no longer exists

itunes shows I have 3 PCs in use with all my purchases and downloads. The fact is, I only have one computer. The first was an Alienware Laptop that suddenly died without any warning 4 or 5 years ago. Another was a new desktop I had installed iTunes Ver 10 on and had planned to transfer songs I had previously backed-up onto CDs to. However, Windows 7 files somehow became corrupted before I could do anything.
The current computer I an using is a PC with Windows 7 Ultimate x64 OS. I installed the most recent version of iTunes Ver 10 for Window's PCs. In attempting to learn how to us the backup CD's created 4 or 5 years ago with the old Alienware Laptop, I went back into my old account, updated it. I then found, somehow, all of my previous purchases and downloaded them. By this time, the orginal iPod Classic I had been using had also died. I had purchased a new iPod iTouch 64 GB and was able to download my previously purchased songs plus I purchased another 50+.
Rather than deal with the old backup CD's, I am just going to go back through my CD collection and re-import songs. There were a lot of songs I had previously imported onto my old iPod and did not want on my new iTouch.
I am downloading and reading but still have not found the area that tells me how to deauthorized the other 2 PCs that now longer exist. Any Assistance on how to correct iTunes to show the only 1 PC that is being used would be appreciated?
Thanks, Michael J.

You cannot, nor is there a reason to, until you reach the limit of 5.
Once you reach 5, then you can deauthorize all, then authorize the active computers.

Import photos that don't exist...

When I import pictures into iPhoto from an external hard drive, there are mystery pictures that are showing up. These are pictures that used to exist on the HD but that I deleted from there.
I deleted my entire iPhoto library and emptied the trash within iPhoto. I then went to the "show package contents" of my iPhoto library on my computer's HD and deleted everything.
I tried to re-import the pictures from the external HD to iPhoto, but AGAIN, the mystery pictures are there. I've checked the folder in the HD that they are showing up in. But, they are not there. I've even done a search on my computer, and the files don't exist.
Please help me figure out why this is happening. I just don't know how to get rid of these pictures. I want them gone...completely!!!
Thank you!!!

I then went to the "show package contents" of my iPhoto library on my computer's HD and deleted everything.
Never make changes to the structure or content of the iPhoto library using the finder
make sure you have the photos you want safe and drag the baad iPhoto library to the trash and empty it and then depress the option key and launch iPhoto and create anew library - now start using this correctly set up library

'Raw' Data XMP view shows internal properties that don't exist in the data

In FileInfo view for an image, if I switch to the 'Raw Data' tab, it shows photoshop:ColorMode and photoshop:ICCProfile. However, when I check the actual XMP data of the image e.g. using exiftool or a text editor, these properties do not exist in the XMP data.
According to this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5057589 these are both internal properties to PS / Bridge, which explains why they don't exist in the XMP. But why are they shown in the 'Raw' data view for the XMP then? Showing them here is just confusing as it makes it seem like they should exist in the XMP data.
I can't really see any point in including nonexistent tags in the Raw Data view. But if it is deemed necessary, how about highlighting them a different color, such as using a grey font instead of black? At least it would indicate that they were different to the real data.
P.S. This is with Bridge CS5, possibly the issue has been fixed in CS6?

Hi Paul
The issue is that the Bridge File Info panel is showing these tags in the XMP for the image, but if you check the XMP of the file, those tags aren't there.
As a side issue, Bridge File Info panel is also showing the XMP in a different structure to that which exists in the actual file. There are two issues here really
ACR is not writing the photoshop:ColorMode tag (or the photoshop:ICCProfile tag) to the JPEG (I checked the .xmp sidecar file for the RAW file and the photoshop:ColorMode tag does exist in there, but does not exist in the JPEG file converted through ACR).
Bridge's File Info panel is showing data in the XMP that is not actually there.
Although I would like the ColorMode tag added to the image, I don't think point 1 is a real issue, since the ICC profile is embedded okay. Point 2 does appear to be a bug (or at least it is confusing if it is intended behaviour).

HT1420 Deauthorizing computers I Don't Have Anymore

I need to deauthorize four other computers, that I no longer have, in order to authorize the one I want. How can I go about doing that when I no longer have those computers?

If you no longer have, or access to, the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
Log in to iTunes, go to "view your account info" on the itunes store, deauthorise all five, (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months) and then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time.

Issues exist in release build that don't exist in debug build

I've been working on a Flex 4.1 project and have recently noticed an issue that does not exist in the debug build. Then when you export a release build and run it the issue appears. This is the only change that's made that breaks it. To me this seems to be a bug in the player, SDK, or compiler that I might need to post, but I figured I'd submit it here in case I'm missing something.
Basically it seems to be an issue with objects in an ArrayCollection being instantiated as the correct class type before being added.
When in debug mode, if you set a breakpoint to view the objects in the ArrayCollection you will see them appropriately as their Strongly Typed class. However, when the release mode build is run it will throw an RTE on that same line indicating that the ArrayCollection members are ObjectProxy and they can't be cast into their Strongly Typed class.
Here's the RTE that happens and right now I just need to know if I'm missing something, or if this looks like a bug, and to which bugbase it should be posted (Flash Player, Flex SDK, Flex Compiler, etc.)
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert mx.utils::ObjectProxy@28250141 to

Alex,
Thanks for your help and here's an update on this from me. We did try out your suggestion to see if "PlayerPageSummary can be retrieved via getClassAlias". I'm not the one that did the testing, but my teammate who did, said that the class being registered was not the issue.
While he was working on that I further investigated our ANT builder and configuration to see what might have been different between ANT building non-debug SWF and Flash Builder building non-debug SWF. Turns out that my teammate had added some [ArrayElementType] metadata that I was not aware of. Once I realized that, I added it as metadata to be kept in my flex-config.xml which ended up solving the debug vs. release mode issues.
Afterwards, I double-checked the livedocs and also did some Googling. From the above it appears that debug SWF keep all metadata without you needing to explicitly tell it to. On the other hand, outside of a handful of metadata tag such as [Bindable] release builds neeed to be told what to keep.
Does this sound right?
Also, do you know off the top of your head if this is documented by Adobe anywhere and what the link is? I had a real tough time finding anything mentioning how debug SWF retain all metadata.
Thanks again for your help!

Old Reminders in Notification Centre That Don't Exist in Reminders

In the Notification Centre on my Mac I have 2 Reminders from 61 days ago listed, but I don't think they actually exist - if I click on them in the Notification Centre the Reminder application opens but on today, it doesn't go the the reminder I clicked on, and if I search in Reminders I can't find the entries either, neither can I if I go back 61 days in the application, they just don't exist.
I've turned notifications for Reminder off and on, it doesn't make a difference; obviously this is a corruption in a cache or file somewhere, does anyone know where the Notification information is held and how I can get rid of these two incorrent entries?

I found it....
Kill the /System/Library/CoreServices/NotificationCenter.app/Contents/MacOS/Notification Center process and deleted the .db file in ~/Library/Application Support/NotificationCenter - the NotificationCenter process automatically restarts (so be quick on the delete of the .db file!), rebuild the database and it's clean now, the two old Reminder entries have gone.
