Do I need to Deauthorize??

I finally managed to get my library transferred to my new Vista, and the computer recognizes my ipod. Now the problem is that I can't get it to sync on the new computer (it does recharge). Under FILE tab, the SYNC IPOD option is grayed out. I've also tried SYNC button on device screen. My old computer is still up and running with iTunes but I will be getting rid of it once I've tied up all the loose ends. I'm guessing that I need to deauthorize the old one. Does that sound right? I checked my acct and it shows 2 authorized computers. It's asking for Audible Acct username and password. I put in my Apple ID and password, but apparently it needs something different. I don't remember putting anything else in. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Not sure I understand what you're referring to in your first instruction, "try dragging the content onto the iPod in the iTunes source list." Can you please clarify?
If I set it back to automatic mode, will this resolve my problem and allow it to sync again? When I click to uncheck the manual mode, I get this msg:
"Are you sure you do not want to manually manage music on your iPod? All existing content on the iPod will be replaced with content from your iTunes library."
Is that what I need to do? I'm a little apprehensive about wiping it out, but since it's in my library, maybe it's safe to do.
Thanks again.

  • I need to deauthorize a PC but did it recently so now can't

    I need to deauthorize a PC that I have no access to but iTunes message says that I can only do this once a year so I have to wait until June 2015! I did this with another PC earlier this year. Help!

    See Deauthorize your computer using iTunes for details. As long as the "PC you no longer have access to" isn't able to make further purchases without using your password, and whoever has the computer doesn't have the password, then there is nothing to worry about. Although probably a good idea to change your password anyway. The iPads don't count in the limit of 5 mentioned earlier.

    1) i need to deauthorize the other 2 computers in order to authorize my new one.
    2)how do i move all of my music etc to the new computer?
    thank you

    Thanks much, that's very helpful for step one (getting old phone onto new phone).  Very clear. 
    However, I still have the problem of moving to the new computer.  How do I move the sync to the new computer after the new phone is set up?

  • I need to deauthorize all 5 computers that I have authorised because I have a new mac but I can't deauthorise them because I have done so already this year.

    I need to deauthorize all 5 computers that I have authorised because I have a new mac but I can't deauthorise them because I have done so already this year. How do I authorise my new mac then?

    You will have to deauthorise one of the others individually (iTunes menu Store>De-Authorise this computer).

    You can still deauthorize an individual computer from the iTunes Menus.
    You can de-authorize only once a year 'all' computers from your iTunes account page.

    i need to deauthorize all of my computers before adding my new one.  will my library remain intact and will i need to simply plug my ipod touch back in to the pc?  thx

    1. The library will remain as is. Back it up anyway.
    2. Authorize that computer individually before connecting the iPod touch to it.

  • Do I need to deauthorize, before authorizing a new PC?

    Do I need to deauthorize, before authorizing a new PC?

    You should, however, deauthorize a computer you won't be using any longer, or on which you need to reinstall the OS. That helps keep an authorization from being used up unnecessarily.
    Regards.

    No it doesn't affect your files.

    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".

    You may only do this once per year.

  • Got an error message that said Need to deauthorize aubible account.

    I tried to play a song that i have played 518 times and now its saying i need to deauthorize an account. but i have only played that song on one computer. i dont know why its saying that and don't know what to do.

    it's telling me that i have 5 computers authorized. the reason why i'm confused is because i switched my harddrive from my powerbook g4 to my boyfriends computer which is exactly the same as mine (our college gave everyone the same laptop). the reason i switched is because my cd-rom drive no longer worked. so i thought if i switched the harddrives i wouldnt have any problems. could this affect itunes? because unfortunately there is no way for me to get into my old laptop bc the harddrive we put in there is fried. ALSO i have only had 2 computers in my life with itunes, so i dont even see why this third computer would be a problem.
    im just wondering if there is a way to deactivate a computer without having to be on it. i hope i'm making sense!! lol!!

    All you need to do is remove the all traces of the application from your system and give the buyer all the media and documentation, particularly the serial number.  FCS Remover, a free utility, makes the removal part of the job very easy.  http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/

    Do I need to deauthorize my pc if I need to have the hard drive reformatted?

    You should deauthorize it first; you may not be able to later except through the Deauthorize All function, which is use-limited.

  • Do I need to Deauthorize CS5?

    The hard drive in my iMac has been recalled by Apple and is going to be replaced. Do I need to deauthorize my CS5 software before it's replaced? I'm planning on restoring all my software from a backup.

    Yes, the best practice is to deauthorize your CS5 before you have your hard drive replaced. That way the Adobe system sees that you have 0 computers currently activated. When you go to re-install it will then go through smoothly.
