HT1420 Authorizing More than Five Computers

Why can't use authorize more than five computers? It is driving me crazy!

Because that is the limit that Apple have decided on, if you want to know why then you'll need to try asking them (and iPads, iPhones and iPods aren't included in the 5 computer limit).

  • What if i have more than five computers to authorize itunes accoutn?, what if i have more than five computers to authorize itunes account?

    itunes only allows me to authorize five computers.  but what if i've used more than five computers in my lifetime with my itunes account?

    Well, what i was tyring to do was re-download my purchased items. and the message I get is....
    You have already authorized five computers.
    you can still make purchases on this computer, but you will need to transfer them to an authorized machine or device to play them.  if you wish to play purchases on this computer, you will need to first deauthorize a currently authorized computer.
    BUY or CANCEL.
    the thing is...as i mentioned before, i already deauthorized all the other computers. so i don't get why it is making me buy it again.

  • Can I authorize more than five computers on one iTunes account?

    Can I authorize more than five computers on one iTunes account?  I have several PC's being used as HTPC's and I'd like to use iTunes on all of them.  My three iPhones and three PC's have taken up all of my authorizations.  If I need to create a second iTunes account, can it be linked to my existing account?

    Todd, some suggested reading, none of which looks to me as requiring authorization as an iTunes device for Apple TV:

  • "You cannot authorize more than five computers"

    I am unable to play any of my music that I have bought from iTunes music store because when I try to play my music on my new computer it says "You cannot authorize more than five computers". In fact, I only have four computers using my iTunes music account. Any suggestions?

    hmmmm. perhaps check to see if you've ended up with multiple authorisations on one of those computers:

  • 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.

  • Home Sharing between more than five computers

    Our family has 1 IMac, 2 MacbookPros, 2 iPhones, and 2 Ipads. I'm trying to set up Home Sharing between all devices and computers. Everything works except when I tried to set up our new IMac and got the message "Cannot setup more than 5 computers.....". Been looking all over the Apple support area and have as yet found anything. Hopefully I'll get a response here. Whoever helps, know in advance it is very much appreciated - Thank you.

    The limit of 5 computers applies to computer authorisations only. There is a limit to associated devices such as iPods etc but this also includes any authorised computers.
    Could you have perhaps had previous computers that you did not de-authorise before you parted with them. You can see how many computers are authorised by visiting your account settings in iTunes on your computer.

  • HT1420 need more than 5 computers to authorize?

    We are in 2014... homes have a lot more than 5 computers now. Is there a plan or a way to authroize more computers for the iTunes store?

    No there isn't a way, the current limit is 5 computers on which your account can be authorised at any one time. Whether that limit will be increased at some point we won't know until if/when Apple announce something (these are user to user forums). If you want to leave feedback for Apple then you can do so here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • HT1420 authorise more than 5 computers

    am i able to autherize more than 5 computers to my itunes id, i have 4 imacs, a macbook pro and 2 air's in my family......

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    No, 5 is your limit.

  • Authorizing more than 5 computers

    Similar to other users, I was just given the warning that the computer I just authorized was the 5th out "my available 5". I'm on a new computer which may have caused one use of "my available 5" but I can't account for others.
    Where did the other 4 go?
    Also, I don't need any of my music to go through the cloud. I want all of my purchased music resident on my computer which may eliminate this "available" discussion.
    How can I do this?
    Thanks a million in advance,
    Mike

    About deauthorizing specific computers - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3809988 - Only, if you have physical access to the computer or are running VNC, otherwise you have to deauthorize all computers. De-authorize all computers button may not appear until you actually have 5 authorized and you can only do this once a year.

  • TA22652 Hi, I have authorized 4/5 computers, now what once I'll be done with all 5/5 computers? Can I authorize more than 5 computers?

    Hi, I have authorized 4/5 computers, now what once I'll be done with all 5/5 computers? Can I authorize more than 5 computers? Also I do not have any of the back up of other 3 computers I've authorized. Please help me!! Thanks

    No more than five computers can be authorized at any given time. Computers can be individually deauthorized by using the Deauthorize Computer function; once a year, you can deauthorize all the computers without needing access to them.

  • "You Cannot Authorize More than 5 Computers" I havn't though!

    Hello,
    I just accidentally put all my music files in the recycling bin. After I restored them, Itunes told me to Authorize the songs again... then it told me I had already authorized more than 5 computers. It's quite odd because I only own 3 computers.
    Any help please?
