HT1420 I forgot what computers I have authorized. How do I find out what computers I have authorized in order to deauthorize the computers I don't want
This is a question more for my mother. She has already authorized 5 computers, but she is pretty positive she hasn't. How do we find out how to find out what computers she has authorized, so we can deauthorize computers she doesn't want. Does it matter if it was an old computer that we don't have anymore, or is it based on accounts that are authorized?
Sign in to the account in question, go to Account Information and under Account ID Summary, you need to Deauthorise All. Then Authorise just the computer(s) you do want.

HT1420 how do i find out what computers are authorized?
I have the problem that as I switch to a new iphone, all of a sudden i get the message from itunes that "you have already authorized 5 computers". I have had a couple of laptops that I no longer have access to. How do I find out what machines i have linked and remove machines from that list?
However, it seems that you can check...

In order to see which devices are authorized on your account:
Open iTunes
Click Store
Click Account
Click View Account
Enter your password
Look in the second section iTunes in the Cloud
To the far right you'll see Manage Devices
Once it's clicked you will see all of the devices currently authorized in iTunes/on your account
I was going to say, "Hope this helps," but based on the above, I'm pretty sure it did!
Thanks guys..."

Re: can i check/edit authorized computers?? Jul 5, 2012 9:27 AM (in response to Tina16)
For anyone who may come across this thread, Tina is incorrect. That doesn't show all the systems that are authorized to a given account, only those which are set up for automatic downloads or redownloading, which isn't the same as those that are authorized to an account to play protected content. There is no way to see a list of those systems which are authorized to the account.

how do i find out what computers have been authorized for my account? I have had one stolen and one died but my account shows 5 pcs authorizied? how do i unauthorize a computer not in my hands?
Iphones do not count. Computers only.
There is no way to find out what computers.
Deauthorize all, then authorize the active computers. -

How do i find out what computers are authorized on my account
And why isn't there a list of authprized devices available? Apple knows I have x number of authorized devices, and they know what they are. Why can't I have access to this information about my own account?

HT1420 how do I find out what computers are authorized on my itunes account?
How do I find out what computers are authorized on my itunes account? I want to add my MBP to my itunes account but I can't because I already have 5 computers authorized BUT I can't remember what computers I had authorized. I'm assuming iPhones count as computers in this instance.
ThanksI'm not aware that you can see a list anywhere - and no, iPhones (nor iPads or iPods) count, only computers do (but a computer could count more than once e.g. if you've updated or reinstalled the OS without first deauthorising it).
If you've reached the 5 computer limit then you can log into your account and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then authorise/reauthorise the computers that you still have and need : authorising and deauthorising. -
How do I find out what computers are authorized to use my Store Account.
How do I find out what computers are authorized to use my Store Account? Do my iPhones count towards the 5?
"How do I find out what computers are authorized to use my Store Account? "
The ones that you authorized. There is no list.
"Do my iPhones count towards the 5?"
No.
ONLY computers count. -
how do i find out what computers are registered. I do not believe I have 5 computers registered
If you mean which computers that your account is authorised on then you can't, you can only see the count.
Have you had other computers in the past and/or updated or reinstalled the OS on your current computers without deauthorising them ?
As you have 5 computers authorised then you can log into your account on a computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then authorise/reauthorise the computers that you still have and need : authorising and deauthorising. -
How do I find out what these charges are for ??
Hello,
There's no way to find that. You can simply deauthorize all computer then authorize the ones you use.
Everything is explained on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
First read To deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID
then To authorize a computer using your Apple ID.
Hope this will help. -
How do I find out what accounts are authorized to sync with my iPod?
I'm trying to download a video onto my iPod classic, but I keep getting a message saying it won't download because the iPod can only contain information from five different accounts. But when I checked how may accounts were authorized, iTunes said there were only two accounts out of the available five that were authorized. I really want this movie on my iPod but I'm not sure where to go from here?
"How do I find out what computers are authorized to use my Store Account? "
The ones that you authorized. There is no list.
"Do my iPhones count towards the 5?"
No.

How do I find out what the price thresholds are before royalties are paid to the author?
How do I find out what the price thresholds are before royalties are paid to the author?
If you sign in to iTunesConnect and look through the Contact Us questions, one of them says:
"Payments are made within 45 days of calendar month end if both of the following conditions are met:
All documentation is complete, including any required banking and tax information.
The payment threshold of USD $150 has been exceeded.
If you have not received a payment for a given month within 45 days after the end of the month, please confirm that all documentation has been completed and provided. Also, please confirm that the cumulative amount owed exceeds USD $150 by converting reported amounts using current exchange rates."
I should say though I seem to get paid without reaching this threshold. -

I have two iPhones on my iTunes account. How can I find out what apps go to which phone?
I don't believe that there is a way to do that. I would sugest using automatic downloads to keep your apps synced across both phones. You might also want to note that just about any app you have ever download will be available for free download via icloud.
Wish I could be more help. -
I have a new 16g nano. I have only added about 600 songs so far. It is telling me that I 4.47G of songs and 9.92G of other and only 3.297MB of space left. I have no tvshows, no movies, no pictures on the Ipod. How do I find out what the "other" is and get rid of it?
You most likely have some corrupted files in other. Restore it and resync.

How can I find out what my security answers are? I am trying to purchase an app on a new device and it won't let me without answering and I have totally forgotten
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security.
I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose. -
I have an iPhone 4S that is a replacement of a defective 4s. When I activated the newer phone, I believe I transferred over everything except pictures (had multiple failures trying to backup and restore). Now the phone shows over 3Gb of data backed up in the cloud from my old 4s. How can I find out what is in this backup? It is preventing me from backing up my new 4s to the cloud due to the amt of data. It may be duplicated info that I don't need or I may want to archive the backup or parts of it like pictures.
You can not access the backup directly.
Did you restore your replacement from this backup?
If so then you already have everything in the backup on your device.
If not, you can wipe the device and restore from this backup:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
What is it you are worried about losing that isn't already on your current device?
