How do I more than 5 computers?

Over the years I have used all five of my allowed computers for my itunes library. Only one of the computers is currently alive and I would like to use some new ones. Anybody know what I need to do? I can't deauthorize the others since they are dead.

If you've reached your limit of 5 you have the option to deauthorise them all in one go from your iTunes Store account and start over again. *Just note that you can only use this option once a year*: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation
To deauthorise all computers associated with your account:
1. Click iTunes Store in the Source pane.
2. If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
3. Click the Account button again (your ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
4. In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.

  • How to authorize more than 5 computers in itunes

    is there a way to authorize more than one computer so that I can have my itunes library matched through all my computers?

    iTunes Match supports up to 10 devices — including your computer, iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, and Apple TV.
    iTunes Match on a computer requires authorization so you are actually limited to 5 computers and the rest of the slots can be iOS devices.

  • HT202213 How can I authorize more than 5 computers with the same Apple ID?

    Somebody knows how to authorize more than 5 computers with the same Apple ID? I have One Apple IMac, Apple TV, I-PAD, 2 HP PC's, One I-Phone and one I-Pod Touch. I would like to have the possibility to use as I wish the same Apple ID on one of those without deauthorizing another one.

    "Somebody knows how to authorize more than 5 computers with the same Apple ID? "
    You cannot.
    Authorization applies ONLY to computers.  Ipods/ipads/iphones/Apple TVS are NOT authorized at all.

  • Authorizing more than 5 computers - How to switch or edit authorization???

    Hello,
    Is it possible to switch authorizations for computers for iTunes? I'm trying to get music from one computer to another, but it tells me I already have 5 computers authorized...I'm not sure how that happened, as I have only authorized 3 computers to my knowledge. Is it possible to edit the authorization of computers?
    Thanks
    Chris

    Chris,
    You cannot authorize more than 5 computers on one account.
    So, the easiest thing to do may be to deauthorize all your computers and then add back only the ones you want.
    This article provides all the details.

    How can I authorise more than 5 computers on home sharing?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.

  • HT204053 Apperantly, I have more than 5 computers with the same apple ID. How do I de-authorize some computers?

    I am trying to rent a movie. After I put my Apple ID, it's telling me that I have more than 5 computers authorized in my Apple ID. Also, it's advising me to de-authorize some of these computers. How do I do that?

    If you can't individually deauthorize any of them, use the Deauthorize All command documented in this article.

    Thank you,

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't authorise more than 5 computers, but you only have 2, your iPads etc don't count. You may well have single computers authorised multiple times.
    Try deauthorising each computer and repeating the deauthorisation until it won't let you anymore, then re-authorise each one just once.
    Alternatively could you have some older computers that you didn't de-authorise before getting rid of them. In which case you'll need to de-authorise all your computers at once from your iTunes account settings.
    Please note you can only perform the last option once every 12 months.

  • We are a family of 6 - 2 parents and 4 children.. We have an iMac, 3 macbooks, a Macbook Pro and an iPad. We all want to be able to share the itunes library, but it keeps telling us that it can't authorize more than 5 computers.  What can we do???

    How can we home share with more than 5 computers?? We are a family of 6 and each has his/her own computer.

    You can't. But iDevices don't count. So you should be able to share the 5 computers.

  • How to share more than one Time Machine folder

    Hi,
    With Snow Leo Server I found how to find how to share more than one Time Machine Folder but I can't see how to do the same with Lion Server, could you help me with that ?
    The goal of that is to offer one TM folder per user which is located on a dedicated partition in order to limit the size of TM backups per user (150Gig).
    In Lion, in can only share one TM folder for everybody and I didn'tfind if I can set a limit size per user...
    Thank you in advance,

    I have figured out a way to enable multiple backup targets.
    However, it's one of these things I wouldn't want to describe to anyone except true programmer types, because everyone else has a 90%+ chance of messing up their system if they do something wrong.
    It involves turning off file sharing, and then editing the plist files in /private/var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/sharepoints/
    The gist of it is this:
    a) first create all the share points you later want to use for TimeMachine, and set them up for afp-only file sharing, also create one TM target, which you can either use later, or have there so the system has one entry it knows how to handle. I just made a bogus one that I'm not actively using.
    b) turn off file sharing in Server.app
    c) turn off TimeMachine in Server.app
    d) now you can edit the files, the easiest is with Xcode, so you may want to install that first
    e) for each sharpoint you made in a) there will be a corresponding .plist file in the location indicated, these are the files that need to be edited.
    f) for each of these files
         1) the item0 string property in the timeMachineBackup array must be switched from 0 to 1
         2) a new key of type array with the name timeMachineBackupUUID must be created
         3) in the newly created array an item of type string must be placed with the value of a UUID, which can be created with the shell command uuidgen
    g) make sure all the edited plist files are saved
    h) turn on TimeMachine in the Server.app again
    If all went well, you now should be able to go to one of your networked client computers and see all the time machine share points just created as options for being a time machine target.
    Anyway, if you go that route: be careful, don't blame me if you muck things up...

  • You Cannot Authorize More than 5 Computers...

    Hello,
    I have a new Dell laptop running Vista. I waited until a new version of iTunes came out and downloaded 7.1 this morning. I backed up all my songs which has been successful and it looks like the album cover art is there too.
    I continue to get this message which says:
    You cannot authorize more than 5 computers...
    You have already authorized 5 computers with this account. to authorize this computer you must first deauthorize one of the other computers.
    I read the KB article and quite frankly am totally confused. My old laptop has been reformatted and given to a friend. iTunes was not installed on it.
    How do I get rid of this annoying message? Should I attempt to synch up my Nano or wait first until I get help with this message. Sorry the KB about deauthorizing and authorizing is very confusing to me.
    All I'm doing is trying to get my iTunes installed on a new laptop restored with all my old songs.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    See this article.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93014
    Specifically this part:
    " If you find you have reached 5 authorizations due to system upgrades, you can reset your authorization count by clicking Deauthorize All in the Account Information screen. Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than 5 authorized computers or if you have used this option within the last 12 months."
    This is what you may need to do.
