Does a deauthorization of all computers affect my ipads?

I have ran out of WINDOWS BASED PC computers....apparently forgot to deauthorize them...as I got new ones...
Now I'm stuck....
I need to deauthorize ALL OF THEM...I guess...but does that also screw up my ipad(s)?????

great...once I deauthorize them ALL ... my main one needs to be RE-authorized. Does this action DELETE any of the downloaded and purchased videos and music?

HT201263 does the smart cover magnet strip affect the ipad screen by making colour lines appear on the screen when opened or unlocked by the cover

Does using the magnetic smart cover affect the ipad by causing stripes of interference lines over the screen, then when opening and shutting would revert to a normal home screen, But repeatedly does this lines on screen effect and then eventually the whole screen goes white!

No. It should not do that.

Deauthorization of All Computers

If I deauthorize all computers can I then authorize my two current computers again? I had a Dell that died on me and I don't want that computer counting towards my 5.

Yes.

Deauthorization of all computers login by my ID

Dear friends,
I had deleted my linux unfortunately and now installed WinXP again and now my itune is not authorizing my PC.
Kindly anybody help me in this regard.
Thanx

Okay... It gave an error, I tried again, said I had to wait a year, then I wait a little time, and suddenly all computers are deauthorized! Weird, but my question is solved!

My flash animation does not work on all computers

works on some computers but not others are seeing this:
Clients say they have uploaded the lastest flash player. Just a bit stuck here
Thanks in advance

Since Flash Player sits on the client side, you may need to install the various Flash Player versions on your computer; older FP versions for all platforms are available at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html
Maybe other Flash content developers have some better ideas how to test Flash objects on different FP versions; try asking in the Flash or Flex forums.

Does deauthorizing all computers on one account affect access by others

Four different accounts have been used to buy music on ITunes library. Apparently one of the accounts has hit the five computer limit. If I "Deauthorize all" computers for that one account, does it affect the physical computer's authorization to access the music purchased by the other three accounts?

Computers are affected by deauthorization to a given iTunes Store account, so if you use the "deauthorize all" command for an iTunes Store account, all computers to that account will be deauthorized. It should not, however, affect any authorizations for any other iTunes Store account, so authorizations to the other three accounts should remain.
Regards.

HT1420 I recently got a new operating system on my two-year old windows computer, but itunes says that I need to authorize my computer and I already have authorized five computers. I think I should deauthorize all but does that deauthorize my ipad and ip

I recently had a new operating system installed on my two-year old windows computer. iTunes wants me to authorize my computer (again) and then says that I already have five computers authorized. Should I deauthorize all? Would that affect my iPad and iPhone? I may have old, non-functioning computers that are still authorized and should be removed.

Your past purchases are not on the computer. By choosing download all, those purchases will download to the computer.
Once authorized to your iTunes account you can control the computer.
When syncing the iPad the first time you will get the warning " this iPad is synced with another computer, syncing will erase all contents and replace with the contents of this computer"
Say yes, this is what you wan to do.

I can't deauthorize all computers. It acts like it is doing it, but it never succeeds and no message returns saying why it didn't work. Can anyone explain why this is happening?

I had to rebuild a computer. When I got iTunes installed and tried to sync my iPod it said that I had reached my limit of five computers. I logged into my iTunes account and went through the process for deauthorizing all computers. It comes up with a messaging asking if I am sure I want to deauthorize all computer and I select the "Deauthorize computers" button. It never comes back with a message one way or another whether it was successful. When I get out of that screen and come back in, it still shows that I have 5 authorized computers. I can't sync my iPod. The deauthorization is not working. Can anyone explain why this is happening?

i guess no one helped? I'm having the same problem.
When i press the button to deauthorize all computers, i get an error saying 'my account can't process this at this time. please try again later'

HT1420 If I deauthorize all computers, are all the accounts and all libraries gone?

If I deauthorize all computers, are all accounts and all libraries gone?

No. Deauthorizing a computer has nothing to do with removing content from a computer. It does nothing to the account beyond deauthorizing a specific computer from playing content linked to the specific account.

Is there a way to deauthorize all computers without waiting a year?

We have been doing some re-arranging of computers, and I forgot to deauthorize all my computers before wiping harddrives and cleaning things up. I didn't realize it, but I had used the deauthorize all function in the store to clean up my itunes account in the middle of last year. I need to do it again, but it appears I am unable to do so for at least another 6 months. Since I have quite a bit of music locked up in iTunes (I will never buy DRM'd music again because of this), I need to find a way to deauthorize all computers once more so I can listen to my songs and watch my movies I have purchased. Is there a way to do this inside the 1 year period you're supposed to wait?

How do I deauthorize all computers associated with my Apple ID?

Hi all,
First post on Apple Support Communities :-)
When I bought my first Apple product (iPad 2) a few months ago, I didn't know anything about Apple IDs, iTunes Store, Home Sharing and Computer authorizations. I experimented a little with iTunes and home sharing in VMware virtual machines (Windows 7) on my computer (Ubuntu). I quickly used up the 5 authorized computers, so I used the "Deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID" feature in iTunes and kept on experimenting (since I couldn't get things to work properly in my virtual environment).
Now I have an iPhone 4S and my daughter has an iPod Touch 4G, and I'm planning on buying the new Apple TV. But I'm not going to because I can't have Home Sharing. I can't "clean" the authorized computers because I did it a few months ago and it is only permitted once a year.
It is possible to request an exception (and how?) and have the authorized computers cleaned up?
Thanks a lot
Sebastien

If you can't deauthorize systems just by the "deauthorize" command under the Store menu in iTunes, then go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to report the problem to the iTunes Store. They may be willing to clear your authorizations for you.
Regards.

I want to 'deauthorize all computers'. Apple web says to go to Account Information and click deauthorize all, but the option is not there. where can i do this?

Login to iTunes, go to "view your account info" on the itunes store, deauhtorise all five, and then re-authorize your current Computers one at a time.

I'm a pc tech, I go through computers like water buying and selling. Apple says I can only "deauthorize all computers" once a year. Over time, I've authorized the 5 that Apple allows, now I can't even authorize the one I'm currently using. WTH DO I DO????

I've had constant problems with syncing, I don't understand why Apple can't just make a simple interface where I can sync what's on my iPhone to a new computer, thereby creating a "library" of what I have on my phone already. Obviously, what I have on my phone is what the heck I want on my phone. I'm a pc tech, I go through several computers a year because I buy and sell and repair them. Apple won't let me "deauthorize" computers until NOVEMBER, and it won't let me "Authorize" the desktop I just built for myself. The new iPhone OS is about to debut, and I can't even sync this phone to my new computer or new itunes. THis is ridiculously complicated and frustrating as ****. If I didn't like the iPhone so much, I'd never bother with all this hassle. And Apple wonders why suddenly about 70% of the market now belongs to ANDROID users. What do I have to do, Call customer support to get my account straight???? TOTALLY disgusted with this whole thing.

iPhones are not, nor have they every been storage devices. They are merely mirrors of the content in the users iTunes library. As such, syncing is one way, computer to iDevice.

Learn to deauthorize them before taking them out of service. Sorry, but the scenario describe above is not "normal" and I cannot imagine any user buying a used computer from a so-called tech that he built for himself. If building computers for customers, build them for the customer and keep your data off of them.

Again, had the previous computers been de-authorized this would be a none issue. A call to iTunes Customer Support may provide a way around the one year limit on deauthorizing all computers.

No, it's not.

In that case, READ the User's Guide and educate yourself on how to use the device as designed. Or find a competent tech to explain it in a way that you can understand it.

I cannot authorize my new computer in iTunes because I hit the 5 device limit. However, I cannot deauthorize the old one because it's gone. I also cannot use the deauthorize all computers button because I did last year when I was replacing computers. Is there any other way of deauthorizing computers that no longer exist?

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)
Then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time..

HT5622 How can I authorize a new computer (with windows 8) without deauthorizing my other computers (windows 7) . Under manage your account the only choice given is to deauthorize all computers already authorized

I just bought a new computer with windows 8. I have 2 other computers (windows 7) authorized for itunes. When I go to manage your account the only choice I am give is to deauthorize all computers. There is no place from which to authorize this new computer or to deauthorize the 1 computer that is dead rather than both. Suggestions appreciated

To authorize the Windows 8 computer, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.
It isn't possible to individually deauthorize a computer which is dead or which you don't have either physical or network access to.
