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.

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?

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.

Authorization to comptuter that don't exist anymore

Hi to all! I want to retire all the authorization for synchronization since some computers are not available anymore. How do I do that?
TY

Individual computers can only be deauthorised directly on them, but if you have 2 or more computers authorised then you can log into your account and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then authorise/reauthorise the computers that you still have and need : authorising and deauthorising.

How do I delete an old CalDAV account from iPhone that no longer exists?

A few months ago I tried to set up synching between my work calendar (via a CalDAV account) on my work Macbook, my iPhone and my home iMac. I never could get the account to set up in iCal on my iMac but it worked fine on my work Macbook and my iPhone. But we eventually went to using Google Apps, so now I don't need it.
The problem is that despite having removed the account entirely on my work Macbook's iCal, the calendar remains on my iPhone and keeps notifying me of reminders that had been set up there. When I go into my iPhone's settings, into Mail, Calendars, etc., the calendar is not there anymore (because I removed it when we got rid of using it at work) so I can't delete it.
I thought maybe somehow it was still hanging around on my home iMac, despite never having been able to set it up to work, but it's not there, either. The only place it exists is when I open iCal on my iPhone, although there's no way for me to delete it and when the notifications pop up I can't edit them, either.
Am I just out of luck here and stuck with this rogue calendar? When I plug my iPhone into my home iMac, where it's set up to sync, it tells me that my calendars are being synched over the air, not through iTunes. But when I go into system settings on that computer and force it to resync calendars, it doesn't get rid of the old CalDAV account on my phone.
Any ideas?? I'm stumped.

If your device is signed into an old ID of yours that is an earlier version of the ID you want to sign in with, do the following:
If you are using iMessage and FaceTime, make sure you are signed into these services with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library). When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

I've already transfered my music to my new computer, but I can't log in to my itunes account, it says that it already exists.

I'm not trying to create a new account, just access my current one on my new computer as well as listen to some "locked" music that I downloaded previously and requires my password.

Hi Ishrak,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are trying to log into with your Apple ID, or what exactly you are seeing (alert message, directions, etc) when you try to do so. If you continue to have issues with your Apple ID, you may find one or more of the articles linked from the following page helpful:

ITunes is syncing Notes that don't exist

I have recently changed the login details on my PC from a peer-to-peer network to being attached to a domain. After the changeover I had to reset all of my iTunes options for my new login.
After syncing with my iPhone 4 with Outlook 2007, I now have two sets of "Notes" on my phone but there is only one Notes folder in Outlook.
Can anyone tell me how can I merge these two sets of Notes on my phone, please?

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.

Removing UM role servers that don't exist anymore?

Have come into a situation where I have a Exchange 2010 SP3 install with 2 node DAG and the management console references two UM role installed servers that technically no longer exists. I am planning on doing a migration to 2013 and just know I will run
into some issue with these lagging references to these machines. Can someone direct me on how to remove these roles from my Exchange 2010 organization? Again, the servers that the roles were installed on are gone and of course, UM is not being used at all,
so no worries there.
Thanks.

Do the servers still exist in AD and part of the configuration container under the Exchange org?
If so, the supported way to do this is to run setup with the recoverserver option and install Exchange again on a server. It could be any crummy server or virtual guest.
Once installed, run setup and gracefully remove the server with Add/Remove Programs.

I tried buying an album off the iTunes Store but I didn't know the security question answers. It disabled my account from buying for 8 hours but I want the album by tonight! Help please?!?!

I tried buying an album off of the iTunes Store but I didn't know the security question answers. I reached the limit for the amount of answers and now it disabled my account from buying for 8 hours but I want the album by tonight! Can anyone help?!

If you've disabled your account for 8 hours then you will need to wait until the 8 hours have completed.
When the 8 hours are up, then if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then you should get a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps on this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620

Go to iTunes menu, STORE and sign out. Then you can sign in from there or create a new account which should match the account you have on your iPad and iPhone.

Hi Kevin,
Have you authorized the Computer to your Apple ID?
If not, sign on to iTunes.
Then got to the Store menu option at the top of the screen (CTL+B if it is not showing), and click on it to display the dropdown, and select Authorize this computer.
If that doesn't work, then sign on your Dad's iTunes ID and repeat the Authorization process.
Cheers,
GB
