Authorizing is just a confirmation that you bought it. Its itunes security pretty much. You can have up to 5 computers with the same song game or video. To authorize it you just put in your account info. Pretty much so that limewire people cant host songs and videos off itunes that they bought

    Javascript isn't Java. You may find another forum that's specifically about Javascript will be of more help.
    You should also check for support from whoever makes the software package you're using.
    I realize this isn't much help, but I advise avoiding Javascript-centric web designs because they tend to lead to the exact sort of problem you're having. The next time you rework your site, shun Javascript, I say.

  • What does it mean, in iTunes, "your contacts are being synced with Microsoft Exchange over the air"?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to sync the contacts on my iPhone 5 with my contacts on my Mac Book Air (merge them), I'm also using Outlook (Microsoft) to manage my email account and my contacts.  I used to sync my contacts from my previous iPhone (4S) with my contacts on my Mac and also with contacts on Outlook.
    Now that I have iPhone 5 I missed that sync (iPhone-Mac-Outlook), so I figure it out that in iTunes there is this message: "your contacts are being synced with Microsoft Exchange over the air. Your contacts will also sync directly with this computer. This may result in duplicated data showing on your device"
    Every contact created on iPhone doesn't sync with my Mac or Outlook.
    How should I configure my iphone and my mac to sync properly??
    Thanks a lot!
    Kind Regards,

    Not surprisingly there have been no answers to this question because the only person who knows how to use iTunes/iCloud/iPhone is too busy.
