HT1420 Itunes authorization

how do i authorize an ipad mini in itunes?

I hope someone answers this question.
I too have the same problem.
I follow the steps as iTunes told me to do and it says my computer is already authorized but I still cannot install Find My iPhone on my iPad
After these two alerts I still cannot sync apps from my Mac to my iPad. Only reason why I'm complaining about it is I get the alert that my computer is not authroized for this iPad.

HT1420 itune authorization problem

I have deauthorized all my computers,o then authorized one. When I try transfer purchases, it tells me this computer is not authorized, yet when I go to Store/authorize, it says it is.

HT1420 Possibility to use 1 Computer - configured with 2 user accounts - each account uses a different Apple-ID for iTunes authorization ?

I wonder if it is possible to use 1 Computer (Macbook Pro)
- configured with 2 (ore even more) user accounts (i.e. me + my kid)
- and each user account has a different Apple-ID (account) for iTunes purchases & iTunes authorization ?
I woud think that is fine in terms of the underlying license agreement refereing to re-download purchased movies, shows, apps, etc.
However, it seams that there is that miraculous 90 days restriction, which I don't understand, and which allows me only to "authorise" the Computer under one or the other account. The switch is unfortunatelly only possible every 90 days ?!?
Thanks anybody for help
Oliver

The 90 day association doesn't stop you authorising an account, it only stops you from using another account for iTunes Match or automatic downloads or redownloading its past purchases : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
There are a few methods listed on this page for how you could do it e.g. multiple user acounts, same iTunes but you having separate playlists, separate iTunes libraries : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495

ITunes Authorization on Bootcamp

For some reason, even though this is technically the same computer, iTunes needs to be authorized on Windows 7 Bootcamp, even though it is already authorized on Mac OS X. I don't use Windows 7 often, only for a few games that they don't make for OS X. However, it is highly annoying to have to use up all your authorizations on just one computer. Especially considering I'm at school and I've got computers back at home that are authorized, so it's not like I can just unauthorize them, they have to be authorized.

I think that my Mac Pro is uniquely identifiable** to iTunes
As I said previously, to the iTunes server, it's two _instances of the *+iTunes app*+_: one on OSX and another on Windows. It is no different than if the app were running on two separate computers. If you want Apple to modify the way the iTunes authorization system works, let them know your thoughts on the feedback page I linked to previously.
...but if disk failure takes out 2 Windows and 1 Mac OS
Since you are relying on _+one hard drive+_ for the multiple "computers", this makes backups that much more important.
Forgetting, or not even knowing that disable account must be done before a reinstall is necessary
is not excuseable. I am at 5 of 5 now and expect to lose iTunes access (through no fault of my own) in the near future, to the music that I paid for.
You can deauthorize all computers when you reach the limit of 5, even if your don't have access to the original computers. (i.e.: hard drive failure.)
[About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420]
So if you have a proper backup of your iTunes library (or libraries), then even a full disk failure is not the end of the world. Just deauthorize all, if necessary. Not the most elegant method, but far from the doom-and-gloom that you're making it into. The important thing is *+_HAVE A PROPER BACKUP OF YOUR ITUNES LIBRARY!!+_* For example:

Hello Zach,
I understand that you have been unable to authorize the purchases on
your iTunes account "[email protected]" due to three previous
account names not authorizing for you. I am sorry to hear about this
Zach. I can certainly appreciate how eager you must be to have this
resolved. My name is Liz, and I will be more than happy to help you
with this today!
If your computer is not currently authorized to play your previous
account name's purchases, when you double-click an item you
purchased before you renamed the account, the authorization dialog
may show the old account name. If this happens, you will need to
remove the old account name from the account name field, type the
new account name, and click Authorize. This authorizes your computer
to play the account's purchases.
If you are unsure about which account was used to purchase a
particular item, follow these steps:
1) Control-click (or right-click) the item in your iTunes Library.
2) Choose Get Info from the menu that appears.
3) Click the Summary tab. The account name will be listed on the
right.
If you need further assistance in locating the current account name,
please reply with the account name listed in your items' Summary
tab. In addition, please include the order number for those items if
possible.
You can locate order numbers by following these instructions on
reviewing your purchase history:

ITunes Authorization on Returned Machines?

Hey guys!
I was wondering, I recently exchanged my Macbook (without any idea what iTunes authorization is). So, guess what, I didn't de-authorize. Will the Apple Store de-authorize is eventually? Or do I have to manually do it somehow...
Cheers,
Qiming

Will the Apple Store de-authorize is eventually?
No.
Or do I have to manually do it somehow...
If you haven't run out of authorizations, leave it as is. Otherwise, click here and follow the instructions.

IDVD-Error-itunes authorization

I have an odd problem that I never had before. I made a slideshow of old slides on my parents' iMac. I made a quicktime file and started burning it onto dvds with iDVD.
I decided to put the file onto my laptop as well so I can burn twice as many DVD's (they are for gifts for family).
However, when I use put create an iDVD project on my laptop, I get this message from itunes saying I am not authorized to use this video. When I go into iTunes to authorize, the message is still there in iDVD.
It still lets me preview the DVD and it plays fine so I tried to burn it but it gives me an error. Why the heck does itunes think it claim my video that I made?
Any suggestions?

I suspect the disc image proposal won't solve the iTunes re athorization issue. But if it does work, please let us know.
The way I work around iTunes authorization, is to first make a CD of that audio I wish to use and then import as an aiff into iMovie or iDvd (otherwise you may have the very same issue arise each time you attempt to play it on a different laptop (other than the one it was originally authored on).
Good luck on this!

HT1420 itunes notified me that there were 5 computers authorized and i could not add another without unauthorizing an existing one. i did so and it shows the four remaining but when i go to authorize my new computer it keeps saying i still have 5. how do

I recently purchased an imac. the itunes store notified me there were already 5 computers authorized. i de authorized 1 computer in the mange my account window. it shows 4 computers now authorized but when i try to authorize new computer it says i have 5 computers authorized. will it update? what is wrong?

That should work but it might take awhile for the data to sync. If you're okay with this, what I would do is to go to the iTunes Store and de-authorise all. Then re-authorise the ones you want to. This method has less errors since the command it to erase all registration. If you want to do that, sign in to your account in the iTunes Store. There is a line item that de-authorise all after you signed in.

HT1420 Itunes says I need to authorize and wen I go to store, it says I am authorized? I can figure out how to fix this problem.

HT1420 itunes won't let me authorize my computer. There is no option for this in the store menu.

I recently got a new computer and reached my limit of devices, so I deauthorized all. Now itunes won't let me authorize any of my computers. I've been through the help and there is simply no option for this. Please help.

HT1420 ITunes will NOT let me authorize my computer.

I only have 3 computers authorized and I'm trying to authorize a 4th computer. Every time I try to authorize the 4th computer it tells me I already have 5 computers authorized. I'm running Windows 8.1 and ITunes version 11.3. I originally had 5 computers authorized but I deauthorized 2 of them to try to get my new computer authorized. When I go to my account in ITunes it only shows that 3 computers are authorized but it keeps telling me I have 5 computer authorize when I try to authorize my new computer. HELP!

Thanks...That worked. However, what's the sense of being able to deauthorize a computer if you can't reauthorize one in its place?
Don't know. I have no problem with it myself.

HT1420 Itunes wont let me authorize this computer as I already have others. However, I no longer have those computers. What do I do to get this one authorized?

Please help me out guys.
Itunes has updated and now it wont play my purchased items because this computer isnt authorised.
I no longer own the other computers that I have authorised, so I'm not too sure how I get to start again.
Very frustrating, listening to one song and then it stops, because its not authorised to play the next song.
Thank you
Bec.

i do not see the option to "authorize my computer" in the itunes store home page. I think it could be my constant guard software hiding something, but I'm not sure. Any ideas?

HT1420 itunes account will not authorize with only 2 devices authorized

After having to Reset the SMC due to computer locking up, The itunes account will not authorize. In Apple ID account I show 2 active authorized devices. But my Macbook Pro that was previously authorized will not allow me to authorize it. Error message on the itunes app states that there are already 5 devices active.
I reset the ACL user account, did a permissions repair, reset computer user password.
I continue to have the same error message.

iDevices are not authorized, only computers are.
What happens when trying to download the media on the computer? The above is confusing and difficult to read.
Stick to the facts please.
