HT1420 I have gotten rid of all my computers and devices and dont know what to do to deauthorize so I can use and make purchases. What should I do?
Trying to get my recorded memos to install on my I tunes, these have my meetings etc on them. I have used all 5 installations and my understanding is that I have to wait a year to use this account. Is this true? What should I do? I have the new IPhone 5 and would like to start fresh with my account and think this is a crazy rule, especially if you pay for the music etc. Apple should be able to see that I'm only using one computer. I don't understand what to do. Thanks for any advice I may receive........ The stuff I read said to deauthorize your computers, however I did not know this when I donated them to the goodwill and traded them in at Best Buy.
The "crazy rule" was demanded by record companies back when Apple approached them for the digital distribution model. They did not want to sell a track for 99¢ and have it playable on an unlimited number of computers, so they settled on a limit of five. They were not concerned about iPods because they never thought Apple would sell any of those stupid things, so there is no limit for them.
Anyway, what do you want to do? If you are unable to authorize an additional computer to play iTunes Music, and you no longer have any of the five that were previously authorized, then yes you must "Deauthorize All" your computers:
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 "Deauthorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "deauthorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize the computers that you need to play your music, as you need to.

I have been debited 35chf for purhase of itunes match, i dont know what it is and never passed this order
Hi homayra,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know that it can be concerning when you see a purchase from iTunes that you do not recognize. Please use the information in the attached article for how to proceed.
How iTunes Store charges might look on credit and debit card statements - Apple Support
Get more help
If you compared your purchase history (and family members' purchase histories) to your statement and still don't recognize the charge or want to request a refund, contact Apple Support.
If you don't have an iTunes Store account (Apple ID) and see charges on your statement, contact Apple Support. You can also request a refund if the charge is shown in your purchase history.
Best regards,

TS1702 i have an app that keeps trying to load. I dont know what it is.
How do I get rid of it?
What do you mean "it keeps trying to load"? Apps only load when you tap their icon. Is the app frozen?
If so, see: http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2012/04/how-to-force-quit-an-unresponsive-ios-app/ -

I have recently purchased some apps from the app store and after downloading them, the icon that appears in the dock changes to a different icon. It is now the same icon appearing on all newly downloaded apps. Does anyone know what is happening here? Even updating an older game app resulted in the original game icon changing to the new identical icon that all new apps are appearing with. This new icon is like a page with a ruler, pencil and paintbrush. Any tips on how to stop this or how to revert to the icon as it appears on the app store would be appreciated.

i have read up on all about crashes and i cant even open it in safe mode :( i have tried deleting it and reinstalling it but the problem still persists. What would you suggest i do and is there any way i canget hold of firefox 6 for mac?
Does the regular Firefox 8 release version work or does the version crash as well?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Now that I have upgraded to Yosemite I have a problem when I scan documents. Formerly, a window showed today's activity. Now, I have to search through all the documents in my history to find what I just scanned. Sometimes I can't even find the doc.
Most scan apps have a setting whereas, your scan(s) can go directly to your desktop. No need to "hunt" for scanned docs.

Firefox stores your personal data in the Firefox profile folder and that data is not affected by an uninstall and reinstall.

Hello,
Please help to find my stolen mac book pro - 15 inch,
I have only the serial number of it but Unfortunately I did not have iCloud on it, all my data and researches are there,
The Operating System is mac but I don't remember which version (I think it is the latest because it is updated), also windows & VMWare are installed
WHo can help, please contact me...
HudaAs Chris indicated, there is no way to track your MacBook without having set up the Find My Mac feature beforehand (and even if you did, it's quite easily defeated) or having some third-party tracking software installed. All you can do is file a report with the police and hope they get lucky. I can only hope that you made backups of your data and "researches", since I agree with Chris that your chances of ever getting the MacBook back are not good.
You posted in the iTunes for Windows forum, by the way; just so you're aware for future questions.
Regards.
