HT1296 I deauthorized all old computers but when I authorize my new PC it shows it is the 4th device and I can't sync

I have 3 computers, 1 dead, 1 on a slow pc I gave my wife and 1 new PC. I went to the Apple store and Deauthorized all computers. still no success, shows 4 out of five after the deauthorize process.
what's up with that?

What happens when you try to sync? Error message?
You can only Deauthorize All when all five authorizations have been used.

  • I deauthorized all my computers, but now it will not allow me to authorize my new computer. My account states that I have 0 authorized machines.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't (only) de-authorise computers you no longer have access to.
    Your only option is to de-authorise all your computers and then re-authorise those you wish to be authorised. You can do this by logging into your account settings in iTunes on your computer (Store > View My ID) and selecting the option to de-authorise all.
    Please note however, you are only permitted to do this once in each 12 month period, therefore you would be better de-authorising your computers before you lose access to them. you can do this from the 'Store' menu in iTunes.

    Try with a different cable, just to be sure, but a dead battery seems to be the case.

  • One day it just stopped focusing and the pictures are blurry.  If I switch it to the front camera it works well and looks like it should but when I turn it back it goes back to being out of focus and I can't figure out how to fix it?

    i installed ios 7.after  that my primary cam, one day it just stopped focusing and the pictures are blurry.  If I switch it to the front camera it works well and looks like it should but when I turn it back it goes back to being out of focus and I can't figure out how to fix it?

    This advice will sound like a joke or prank, but believe me it worked on my iPhone 5 and my daughter's.  The lens mechanism got stock on each of our iPhones.  We found a post on these message boards that said to hold the iPhone about 6 inches above a table or counter top and drop it so that it lands flat on it's back.  Now try the camera ...Fixed!  It has been more than six months now and neither of our iPhones have ever experienced the problem again. 

  • HT204053 I use my sisters iTunes to sync only music onto my phone. I have my own apple ID and have it set up in my settings but when there's an update to be done, my sisters apple ID appears and I can't change it. Any ideas?

    You may have inadvertently synced an app to your phone that was purchased with her ID.  That would trigger a prompt for her ID password when updating.  If that's the case, you would need to delete it from your phone.

  • HT1296 I have the original iPhone and I can't sync the address book from my Mac to the iPhone. What should be the problem and can I sync?

    I have the original iPhone and I can't sync the address book from my Mac to the iPhone. What should be the problem and can I sync?

    Thanks a lot for the answer. I'm so upset, have no even one contact on my phone. I has to do with the moving to iCloud from MobileMe.
    I did exactly what you wrote, and when trying to click the vcf file on the iPhone the screen freezing, and then after few long seconds it goes alon to home.
    So I tried less contacts in a Vcard, and i'm dividing my address book, doing little by little and it work.
    Thank you so much.
    I still dont get why the sync with my computer address book is not working.
    And why when I moved to icloud all the photos I had next to the contacts are disappered.
    I had my iPad, which it still, I did not move from MobileMe to iCloud and all the photos are there!
    Anything I can do to use the iCloud on the iPad as well and update the iCloud with the photos?

  • I used to share one apple ID/account with my ex but made a new one for myself recently and logged out of the old one but when I try to update my iBooks it asks for the old account's password(which my ex changed by now)

    I used to share one apple ID/account with my ex but made a new one for myself recently and logged out of the old one but when I try to update my iBooks (only happens with this app)it asks for the other account's password(which my ex changed by now). I don't understand why this happens when I'm logged into my account and it only happens with that app. Please help, I need to update. :/

    Content (apps, music, ibooks, films etc) is tied to the account that originally downloaded it, so if the iBooks app was downloaded using the account that you used to share with your ex then only that account can download updates to it. As it's a free app you could delete it and re-download it under your own account - and then re-download your ibooks into it (or copy the books to your computer's iTunes first via File > Transfer Purchases and then sync them back to the app).

  • I've deleted some contacts, but when I create a new text it will still suggest the deleted contact. I want that to stop.

    I've deleted some contacts but when I create a new message it still suggests the deleted contact. How do I permanently delete that information?

    Restoring should not be the only solution !
    Apple should work on fixing this issue.
    The option is available when u email,
    A blue arrow appears and when u click it,
    It asks if u want to remove it permanently
    So i think the phone # after u send a sms/text
    Should be able to be deleted at will.
    Apple team get to work ! Lol
    Thnks

  • I deauthorized all my computers but now how do i choose to authorize each one? no options are popping up. help

    My old computer crashed. I got new one. Downloaded itunes. I was having problem with itunes and it saying wont authorize this new notebook. After reading suggestions, I deauthorized all computers thinking it would be easy to then individually authorize. BUT i see no authorize options in my account info. HELP~ Thank you

    If you're running Mac OS X, move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store, and choose Authorize this Computer.
    If you're running Windows, 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.

  • I bought songs on my old computer, but when I got a new laptop they won't play on iTunes

    The songs that I bought on my phone have transfered into my library, but the songs purchased on my old computer won't play. They still come up, but the letters are grey instead of black and I can't even select them. What do I do? They were purchased under my account, so they should be showing up.

  • I tried to erase my ipod from settings but when i try to reboot it, it always freezes with the apple logo. How can i fix this and it doesn't even appear in my itunes?

    I wanted to erase my ipod so i went on settings, then general and then i erased my ipod
    but when the apple logo comes up, it just freezes right there and i try to reboot it but it keeps freezing
    so how can i fix this? please help

    Try a Safe Boot by Restarting and holding down the Shift key between the startup tone and the Apple logo w/pinwheel.  It will take longer to boot up in Safe mode.  If successful, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk > select your OSx disk and restart.

  • How do I download firefox when it keeps prompting me to reboot but when I do it still won't? have rebooted 6 times now and still can't download.

    I had firefox months ago but due to computer problems had to remove it but now I can't redownload it because it keeps prompting me to reboot to complete a previous uninstall but when I allow it to it reboots the computer than nothing happens so I try to download again and it still says reboot have rebooted 6 times and it still won't let me download.

    yes I am. windows isn't giving me any prompts other than the original one authorizing firefox to run the installation program before the download starts then part way into the download firefox asks me to reboot so the download it starting then it tells me I can't finish the download because I have to reboot because of a previous uninstall that needs to complete so when I reboot it should finish the installation but it doesn't and then when I try the download again I get the same thing again like it's stuck in a loop

  • When syncing apps, window says authorize this computer.  When I authorize it says computer already authoized.  Then the window reappears and sync does not continue.

    When syncing app, a window pops up saying to authorize this computer,  When I authorize the computer, I am told it already is authorized.  Then the same window pops up again.  Is there a cache that can be emptied or what can I do to sync my ipad.  Thanks

    Deauthorizing won't delete anything, and all your purchased content is safe.  You will just have to reauthorize any of the other computers that get deauthorized along with your computers old machine id.
    To get your purchased content back on that computer, just use iTunes to redownload it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US).  Of course, music you ripped from CD or got from another source you'll need to copy those files back over.

  • When using home sharing, will my messages show up on the other devices?

    I added another device to my I Tunes account, but I want to know with Home Sharing, will my messages show up as a new message on the other device? And will my alerts for my games show up there too? How can I stop my phone from ringing when someone is facetiming the new device?

    We want to share the iTunes account, but when his son calls him on FaceTime, I want that to be just on his device. I want him to have all his own stuff and not be bothered by my candy crush notices or other game notices... Or when I get a message? I have my own IPad, and iPhone. He just has an IPad. Is that possible? I created an Apple ID for him and his own email address so far.

  • I am unable to delete an old apple i.d. from my Ipad. It still comes up in the apps store and I can"t change it.
