Having trouble deauthorizing a computer.

I'm having trouble de-authorizing a Macintosh.
It works perfectly, and would like to continue to use it, but we are at our limit.
First, let me say I'm reasonably confident, (but not absolutely confident) that this computer was authorized.   In fact, to get to the section where the ID is de-authorized I had to sign in with my Apple ID.
I did the following:
1.)   Open iTunes on the computer you want to deauthorize.
2.)   Choose Store > Deauthorize This Computer.
After doing this, I received the following pop-up. " This computer was not authorized. To authorize this computer, play a song or video you have purchased using this Apple ID."
This message leads me to believe the computer was never authorized to begin with. I am confused.

Open iTunes on any computer.
Do Store > View Account from iTunes' menu.
On the "Computer Authorizations" row, choose "Reauthorize All".
On the "Computer Authorizations" row, I ONLY have "Deauthorize All". I am using iTunes 12.1.0.50 (wish I had iTunes 11) Mac Pro running 10.10.2

I'm having trouble with my computer, I boot it up and within a few minutes it freezes and I have to restart it, I tried updating it to the latest mavericks but it won't finish the installation it's stuck at the end, what can I do to fix this?

As stated I'm having trouble with my computer, I boot it up and within a few minutes it freezes and I have to restart it, I tried updating it to the latest mavericks but it won't finish the installation it's stuck at the end, what can I do to fix this? I need it for homework tonight.

Crowntheme,
you can try this: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it still freeze after a few minutes?

HT5610 I am having trouble authorizing my computer to allow me to access songs I have purchased through itunes on my iPad. The directions say to select the "authorize computer" in the menu but i don't see that anywhere in the iTunes menu. Any ideas?

I am having trouble authorizing my computer to allow me to access songs I have purchased through itunes from my ipad. The directions say to select "authorize this computer" from the menu in itunes but I cannot find that anywhere. Either I'm not finding the correct menu or it's somewhere else. Any ideas? Thank you in advance!

If you're using iTunes 11 click on the box icon in the top-left corner to see the " Show Menu Bar "
and from the Menu Bar select Store...
From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.

I am having trouble authorizing my computer and ipad and iPhone help

I am having trouble authorizing my computer and syncing ALL music, tones, etc. between Mac, iphone, and ipad.

Did you use different Apple IDs purchasing your content? If so, you need to activate your Mac with all existing Apple IDs... even the ones you don't use anymore. This should do.
In iTunes go to Menubar and click on "Store" -> Activate this computer

Having trouble synching 2nd computer to iCloud.

I am having problems trying to migrate from mobileme to icloud. Initially upgraded (still seems like a downgrade to me) my laptop. Upgraded to os x lion then changed from mobileme to icloud everything works well on my laptop/iphone 4s. Then tried the same thing on my IMAC upgraded to OS X lion, went thru the usual steps of clicking on icloud under system preferences which prompted me to "move to icloud" followed all the steps but still my ical will not sync with cloud. Whenever I go back to system preferences and click Icloud it prompts me to "move to icloud" as if nothing had happened. If I click on Mobile me and follow the prompts to move to icloud same result. Yes I can see my calendar on Icloud but ICAL on the IMAC will simply not sync. I am responsible for scheduling my employees and usually do this at home it is a real hassle to not be able to sync my ICAL calendar. Any suggestions I have been to the Apple store twice and have followed all thier directions without success.

All your computers/devices can sign into the same iCloud account and sync between them. It rather sounds as if you've managed to create two separate iCloud accounts. You may have a different ID for iTunes and have been trying to use that - you should keep that ID for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match and use the main iCloud ID for syncing.
On the computer which works, make sure you know what the login for iCloud is. Then on the other computer remove iCloud altogether:
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmb1de40d9 and expand 'Turn off iCloud altogether'.
Now set up that computer with the same login as on the first computer.

Even when I have try what seems to me like a hundred times it still wont work. Can someone give me especifique instruccions on what I can do?

Did you install iTunes?
Once downlaoded, iTunes should have installed, and open once installed.
If its not open you can look for it in your Start Menu in Windows or Finder in Mac.

Having trouble syncing this computer with login name and password

I dis all the work on my business computer with regards to transferring the favorites, email addresses, etc from AOL. I then signed up for the sync option and I do have Sync Key. However when I try to sync my home computer I get a message that either my account name or password is invalid and I am not sure what to do at this point.
Thank you,
Chuck
Please respond to [email protected] if possible

Ignore that message until you have all the characters of the account name typed in the appropriate field. See how that works.

TS1389 Hello, I am having trouble authorizing my computer it says go to store then to authorize. Where is this at?

Hello, I just got a new computer and iTunes keeps asking me to authorize my computer? How do I do this?

Via the Store menu in iTunes. If you have iTunes 11, which for some unfathomable reason hides the menus by default, press Control-B and you'll then see the menus.
Regards.

HELP first time mac user, having trouble starting the computer

it worked yesterday, but i couldnt find iphoto so i put in a disc i think it was the leopard disc and now the computer is taking ages to do anything and says cannot install because i am missing version 4? or something like that and asks me to restart my startup disc, but when i do that it just repeats the process over again what do i dooooooo?????????????

Backup cowboy (or cowgirl). Let's start at the beginning, first what iMac do you have and what version of OS X are you using. You can easily tell by clicking the Apple icon in upper left of this screen, then click About this Mac.
Chances are iPhoto is still on your computer, it may have gotten removed from your Dock but that can easily be put back. In Finder navigate to Applications - iPhoto and drag iPhoto back onto your dock.
After you have done that remove the disc you put in, there is probably an eject button on your keyboard that looks like a triangle with a line under it. Good chance it's above the delete key.
Let us know how you're doing now.

Having trouble installing Photoshop Elements 13. [was: I wonder if somehow I might have went to Creative cloud because something crossed my screen, but I am not used to doing this so]

I could really use Customer Service help. I received Photoshop Elements as a gift for Christmas...I waiting until i got a new laptop so that I could use that as i was having trouble with older computer. However, I am having trouble installing the software...I swear the dvd added the programs, and I saw them in files explorer i think, but then I cannot find or I was not even able to add the serial number to my knowledge, because it was blank...no keystrokes were shown...and i don't see the program anywhere...Could I have down something wrong and it is somewhere in the cloud?

Thank you. That's what I first thought that I didn't need to do anything
but install from the dvd drive. However after the agreement, it asks me to
sign in at adobe. (Sorry, I'm a little tired of looking at this right
now)...I'll try again tomorrow.
There is no one that I see how to start using the program as I must sign
in. However, I have never been able to get the number to your firm. Or get
the correct number... I think I clicked on a learning tutorial or browsed
Adobe's website to learn more, but got caught up in all the details.
I never uninstalled virus protection to run it because I thought that it
would ask. I'll try again tomorrow I am frustrated. Thank you for your
patience. I appreciate it totally. It's really sad cause I really wanted to
create. I have wanted this for a very long time and I can't believe how
difficult this has been. It would be really nice to know what is really
wrong. I must not be seeing something or I've done something.

I'm having trouble sharing my i pod list with my other computer. I authorized both computer's, but list is not showing up in my laptop. (2nd generation Ipod nano)

I'm having trouble sharing my Ipod list with my other computer. ( lap top) I authorized both computer's for home sharing but the list is not showing up on my laptop. My I pod is a second generation nano. So how do I get it to show up on my laptop?. Also I only have two computer's but it's authorized with 4, two were old computer's, how do I take them off the list without deauthorizing all 4 computer's,? Or do I have to deauthorize all 4 and then authorize the two I have now? my desk top pc is operating on vista, and my laptop is operating on 7. Does that make a difference? HELP! thank you.

I'm having trouble connecting my iphone to my itunes on my computer

So for christmas I got an iPhone and currently, I'm having trouble connecting my iPhone to my iTunes on my computer. If I get on my computer and open my iTunes, I can use it perfectly fine but once I tried to connect my phone to it, it told me the software needed to be updated before it would work with my phone. I went to the website and tried downloading the updated version 10 times but every time it told me it couldn't connect with an apple device or something. So then I tried just going to my downloads and stuff and moving the actual song straight to my phone but it would always tell me my device has ended or has been disconnected. All I'm trying to do is move some songs onto my phone from my computer. They weren't purchased straight from iTunes so it's not showung up in my "purchased" on my phone. (I think I got them from amazon and some are cds that I my computer that I got years ago. Maybe thats why they don't show up in the purchased?) Anyway, how can I fix this? I have a windows computer if that can help at all. Thanks!!!

Also, I just opened my iTunes on my computer then plugged my phone to the computer and a box popped up saying "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device is not started"
I have no idea what that means.
I don't have that option on the side that says what device is connected so I can't sync or anything.
