HT1420 if I deauthorize all of my computers can I then add back on the ones I want to without losing any of my music

If I deauthorize all of my computers can I re-authorize all of the computers I want without losing music, etc, I've downloaded

Yes.
Deauthorizing all computers will simply require all computers to log into the iTunes store with this account before making a purchase.
It will not delete anything on any computer nor will it prevent anything from playing on any computer.

    there are a number of scenarios to do it.
    The general idea was covered here:

    Make sure you have a full backup of your iPhone before recyncing with the iMac as during this process all data will be wiped out from your iPhone.
    Going forward you may want to check icloud which makes life easier.

  • ITunes - 2 Computers - Can't seem to get it back on the one I want...

    I apologize if this has been posted, but couldn't find this exact scenario...
    I just purchased an 8GB 3GS. I initially synced it with my laptop (Win 7) at home just to get some basics on it and get it up and running. However, when I took it to work (XP Pro), I synced it up there and did all the work to pick and choose music/videos/photos/apps (since it's only 8GB, had to be more selective and it took awhile). I can't seem to figure out a way to resync it with my home laptop without it first wanting to erase everything I've done at work. I would like my home laptop to be my iTunes "home base", so to speak, but don't want to go through the trouble of re-selecting everything again... spent probably 2 hours doing it and making it all fit. If I have to, that's fine, but wanted to check here for another solution first.
    For what it's worth, I use Sugarsync to keep all of our photos, videos, music, and documents synced up across our computers. So I have the exact same files on my work computer as my home laptop.
    TIA,
    Nate

    It is - came over from a Droid (was a former 3G user)... forgot how smooth and seamless the iPhone experience was. The Droid was nice, and Android is interesting, but the iPhone is so much simpler and easy. I hacked the heck out of the Droid, and it's so nice to be back on a smooth, "just works" phone.
    Anyway, thanks again.

  • Had to buy a new PC as the hard disk of the old one broke and lost all purchases, but still have them on the iPhone. How can I sync them back to the new PC in iTunes?

    Had to buy a new PC as the hard disk of the old one broke and lost all purchases, but still have them on the iPhone. How can I sync them back to the new PC in iTunes without losing them?

    You should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • HT1420 If I deauthorize all computers, can I reauthorize some of them again?

    I have 5 authorized computers--itunes won't let me see what computers are authorized--I know at least one of them I no longer have--the only option is to deauthorize all--wondering if I can re-authorize ones that I deauthorize.

    Yes, you can re-authorize computers you've de-authorized.
    Authorization and Deauthorization
    See iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization for Macs.
    See How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld for Windows.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it.

    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.

  • HT1420 If I deauthorize all five computers at once can I reauthorize some of them if they are not in my possession at this time.

    If I deauthorize all 5 computers can I reuthorize the ones I want if they are not currently in my possession?

    Only if you're able to log into them through Virtual Network Computing.

  • HT1420 How to deauthorize all computers if you no longer have access to the authorized computers

    I have a new computer and have moved to a new state.  I tried to authorize this computer but unable b/c I've used my 5 authorizations.  Besides contacting people to deauthorize my old computers, what can I do from here?

    Use the iTunes command Store > Deauthorize All, and then re-authorize just the ones you are going to use.
    That command only appears if you are at the limit of 5, and you can only use it once per 12 months.

  • How can I deauthorize a computer I returned AND iTunes won't let me deauthorize all of my computers for another 10 months?

        The title says it all.  I returned a macbook that was authorized and got a macbook air instead.  iTunes will not let me deauthorize all of my computers for another 10 months.  So what am I supposed to do?

    Only Support can help you, though I have no idea whether they will.
    Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the bottom of the page. In the next page select 'iTunes', and then 'iTunes Store', then 'Account', then 'iTunes authorisation or de-authorisation'.

  • I need to deauthorize all of my computers before adding my new one.  will my library remain intact and will i need to simply plug my ipod touch back in to the pc?  thx

    i need to deauthorize all of my computers before adding my new one.  will my library remain intact and will i need to simply plug my ipod touch back in to the pc?  thx

    1. The library will remain as is. Back it up anyway.
    2. Authorize that computer individually before connecting the iPod touch to it.

  • I have a new iPod Touch and one apple ID. I want to use My laptop aswell as my desktop computer for the one ipod, using the same apple ID. I have music on both computers and want to merge the two without losing any music or apps. How do I do this?

    I have a new iPod Touch and one apple ID. I want to use My laptop aswell as my desktop computer for the one ipod, using the same apple ID. I have music on both computers and want to merge the two without losing any music or apps. How do I do this?
    My iPod has music and apps from my apple ID that I downloaded to my iPod via iCloud and some apps that I got free from the store, straight onto my iPod, but my laptop has some music on it aswell, separate from my other library. I want to put the music from my laptop into my iTunes library which I want to use on both computers. Is it possible to do this?
    Thanks.

    - You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
    Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
    - If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
    go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
    If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.
