HT1420 how to deauthorize computers you don't have

I have two computers. My desktop has had problems every year, so I have deleted the hard drive every year after experiencing these problems. It's the same computer, so each time I deleted the hard drive, I never deauthorized the desktop. My labtop is working fine, so I haven't had to deal with that. I'm hopin you can help

About De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
  1. Open iTunes on a computer
  2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
  3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
  4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
  5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
Also, see iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.

  • HT1349 I have replaced the hard-drive and updated the operating system of my laptop computer.  How do I deauthorize computers I don't have anymore?

    I received an error message from iTunes store regarding my recent app purchase.  I already have 5 authorized computers so I can't sync the purchased app from my current computer.
    My problem is, within four months I replaced the operating systems to my desktop and laptop.  As for the other 3 authorized computers are long gone (when I didn't understand I had to deauthorize computers).
    Can someone help me with this problem?  I can't get internet at my home so I have to go to the local library or coffee house and get wifi, so I need to access my itunes from my laptop.  How can I reset these accounts so I can keep the two I need?
    Thanks, Dave

    I am trying to authorize itunes in a recent MacBook Pro I received from my company, but my account says I already have five computers authorized. How can I unauthorize three of the old ones?
    Thanks!!

    When you reach your limit of five, you have the option once a year to deauthorize all. Then you can start authorizing again. There is no other way to deauthorize a computer you do not have access to. Deauthorize all then start over.

  • How to restore when you don't have a library

    I use my work computer as my main/only computer. I do not have a library for my songs because I cannot leave the music on my computer because I may get in trouble at work. My iPod is the only place I have the music stored (I have a 30GB ipod w/video that's about 1/2 full). Recently, when I plug the ipod in I get an error message comes up that says, "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod. Use the updater to restore iPod to factory settings"
    I have done the 5 R's except for restore because I house all my music just in my ipod because of the whole work computer situation and I do not want to lose all my music.
    When I go through "My Computer" to see my music (in "music") and to try to pull it off temporarily so i can restore the ipod, when I looked at the file it said I had O kb of music in there.
    My iPod works fine on its own and all my music is there, it's just that music won't play on the computer and iTunes is not recognizing the iPod or the songs. So there's no way i know to fix it through iTunes.
    Is there a way to temporarily take the music off the ipod and put it somehere without going through iTunes, restore it, and then put the music back when it's done?

    Thanks Mikey,
    I was looking for a program like yamipod to help me out, but when i tried yamipod it didn't let me open my ipod up and said that it had "bugs." I'll keep looking for a similar program

  • How to deauthorise when you don't have the device

    Hi, I seem to have five devices authorised on my account but at least 1 of these is an old laptop that I forgot to deauthorise. Is there anyway to address this as I cannot authorise my present laptop.

    Use the Deauthorize All command documented in this article.

  • Help! -- How to deauthorize computers on iTunes

    I re-installed my operating system, backup files, and iTunes. It says I have already authorized 5 computers with my account, and will delete my many apps unless I get authorised. I just use one laptop with iTunes.
    How do I deauthorize the other computers? How do I do it without deleting my apps?

    Hmm, well I know how to deauthorize computers. you go to Store-> Then De Authorize Computer. I know that if you delete apps you've bought in the past and you remember them you can re download them with no extra charge. Sorry if this doesn't help :S. but from what you've asked, I've given all i know.
    Hope you get things worked out!

  • How can I delete 3 computers I don't have anymore of my apple account?

    I have just purchased a Mac book pro moving from PC I have transferred my movies to this new computer and it's telling me that  I have 5 computers which I have only  2. H ow can I go ahead and watch a movie on my new MacBook Pro without it saying that I have 5 computers when I only have 2 .Is there something that has to be done to get rid of this message I no longer have this other computers.

    Since you need to be logged in with the machine you want to deauthorize and you no longer have them, you can deauthorize all of them (I believe you can only do this once a year). Do that, and then authorize the two you do have.

    Part 2
    Thanks for the feedback Skhorchid.  Glad it worked for you too.
    A bit later I discovered that Photo Stream was not working on my Windows 7 PC either.  If I opened the iCloud control panel and put a check in the box to turn on Photo Stream, and then closed and reopened the control panel, the check mark was gone again.  Also, nothing happened when I clicked on the options button beside the Photo Stream check box.  I already had version 2 of the iCloud control panel so I could not upgrade further. 
    I ended up uninstalling the iCloud control panel, rebooting, downloading a fresh copy from Apple, and reinstalling it.  This worked and I now have photo stream working on my Windows 7 system as well.

  • When I try to load a newer version of firefox I get the error message "you don't have sufficient permissions to load firefox" from firefox. How do I get them?

    have firefox 3.0.10 on my Mac with OS X .5.6 I can download the latest version of firefox, 7.0.1 dmg. I can open that and get a drive on the desktop. I am the only user and system administrator. How can I not have sufficient privileges? but when I drag the firefox program to the applications folder I always get this message from the firefox program. "you don't have sufficient privileges to open firefox" What is going wrong to prevent me from updating my firefox?

    See:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
    The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

  • How do you get your tunes and voice recordings from your iPod Touch into iTunes on a new computer if you don't have Mobile Me?

    How do you get your tunes and voice recordings from your iPod Touch into iTunes on a new computer if you don't have Mobile Me?
    iTunes on tmy new computer shows none of my data and I fear if I sync my iPod with the computer all will be deleted on the iPod.
    I still have everything in iTunes on the old computer.

    Just move your iTunes library to you new computer.  You can transfer iTunes purchases to you new computer from your iPod by:

    After you move you stuff to the new computer, restore the iPod from backup.

  • How do you get your options in your workflow incamera raw 6.0 to  stay so you don't have to change them everytime?

    How do you get your options in your workflow in camera raw 6.0 to  stay so you don't have to change them everytime?

    No one, absolutely no one should be using Adobe Camera Raw 6.0.  You should be on Camera Raw 6.7.
    Don't rely on the Adobe auto updater to tell you there are no available updates and assume "everything is up to date". That auto updater was totally unreliable until CS6.
    The workflow options are absolutely sticky.  You should not have to change them at all unless you want to.
    If they're not after you update ACR to 6.7, you'd need to troubleshoot your system.

  • How to resolve "You don't have permission to use the application" errors?

    We've been struggling with managed preferences, specifically applications, for a few users. They have mobile home folders which live on a Mac OS X 10.6.x Snow Leopard Server AFP server, preferences which are managed (by group) on a Mac OS X 10.6.5 Snow Leopard Server Open Directory Master, and the clients are running Mac OS X 10.6.4 Snow Leopard (bound to the Open Directory Master). There are also two Mac OS X 10.6.4 Snow Leopard Server Open Directory Replicas. We always manage applications and DO NOT sign the apps when adding them in Workgroup Manager.
    Essentially, key applications are unable to run due to the "You don't have permission to use the application" errors, even though they're explicitly whitelisted. (See some prior investigation over on Serverfault.) After seeing that the Mac OS X 10.6.5 Server update included the following fixes, we upgraded our Open Directory Master to 10.6.5:
    * Addresses an issue that could prevent managed preferences from being applied when a user logs in on a workstation that has been idle.
    * Fixes an issue that could prevent administrators from bypassing client management settings on a workstation.
    This seemed to improve the situation slightly, our most important application now seems to be allowed. Occasionally, it'll give the same error, but a simple log out & back in allows it again. We have not upgraded the client workstations with the Mac OS X 10.6.5 update as it doesn't note any related fixes and we haven't fully qualified it for mass deployment.
    We now have two applications that live in ~/Applications which are explicitly whitelisted (again, NOT signed), which fail with the same error, but logging out & back in does not resolve it. `sudo mcxrefresh -n 'user'` doesn't resolve the issue. In fact, `sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/ManagedClient.app/Contents/MacOS/ManagedClient -f -u `id -u 'username'`` fails with the following error:
    ManagedClient- bad parameter to -u option: use format '-u 501'
    Today I was able to catch the following in /var/log/system.log while attempting to run one said applications:
    Dec 22 17:36:24 hostname parentalcontrolsd[43221]: -[ActivityTracker checkApp:csFlags:] [954:user] -- * Incoming app appears to be masquerading as white listed app and failed signature validation: /Users/user/Applications/FileMaker Pro 5.5/FileMaker Pro.app/Contents/MacOS/FileMaker Pro. Note: This may be a valid app of a different version than what was whitelisted (on a different volume?)
    Dec 22 17:36:24 hostname [0x0-0xa42a42].com.filemaker.filemakerpro[43304]: launch of /Users/user/Applications/FileMaker Pro 5.5/FileMaker Pro.app/Contents/MacOS/FileMaker Pro was blocked
    Dec 22 17:36:24 hostname com.apple.launchd.peruser.1340[6375] ([0x0-0xa42a42].com.filemaker.filemakerpro[43304]): Exited with exit code: 255
    Dec 22 17:36:24 hostname parentalcontrolsd[43221]: -[ActivityTracker(Private) _removeAppFromWhiteList:] [1362:user] -- * Couldn't find local user record
    So, even though the apps are listed in Workgroup Manager and are unsigned, and also appear in '/Library/Managed Preferences/user/com.apple.applicationaccess.new.plist', it appears that the client somehow thinks they don't match what's in the whitelist even thought WE DON'T SIGN THEM WHEN WE ADD THEM!
    What might be causing this? Any further troubleshooting tips would be GREATLY appreciated!

    According to the [Code Signing Guide|http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Security/Conceptual /CodeSigningGuide/Procedures/Procedures.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40005929-CH4- SW2], it appears that there is no way to remove signing (emphasis mine):
    "You can take a partial-update approach to revising your code on the user’s system. To do so, sign the new version as usual, then calculate the differences between the new and the old signed versions, and transmit the differences. Because the differences include the new signature data, the result of installing the changes on the end-user's system will be the newly signed version. You cannot patch a signed application in the field. If you do so, the system will notice that the application has changed and will invalidate the signature, +and there is no way to re-validate or resign the application in the field.+"
    Upon further investigation, the version of FileMaker 5.5 in question appears to be signed even after a fresh install from original install media. I wouldn't have thought Code Signing was around back then (2001). And the code signing appears to match between the fresh install (to a new location) and the original install. I'll attempt to sign it in WGM and install the same, signed copy everywhere.
    Also, I looked at one of our other working primary applications (4D.app) and it is unsigned, but appears in the Firewall as "Allow incoming connections", so I don't believe that the Application Firewall is necessarily signing apps automatically (but I certainly won't be ruling it out).
    I haven't checked yet, but the other application that's failing is "Parallels Desktop 6", which I'd bet is signed. I wonder if the "Automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections", which is checked, would come into play at all?
    Thanks for pointing out how to use `codesign` to check whether an application is signed or not, this seems to be the first real break on this case.
