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.

    In iTunes, do Store->View my AppleID
    Click "Deuthorize ALL"
    Then, on any computers you still have, do Store->Authorize this computer.  If there are less than 5, you will have no problem.
    You can only do "deauthorize all" once a year, so in the future, if you ever throw a computer away, remember do to "Store->Deauthorize this computer" first.

  • 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.

    Look in the File menu.

  • ITunes will not let me authorize to play music. Claims I already authorized 5 computers. I have not (to my knowledge). Bug? My computer crached last year and a new HD was installed. Computer is Mac from 06 with Mac OS X10.5.8

    Have a Mac Power Book  bought 2005 when living in the US. Installed iTunes and set up an account. Have since dowloaded music, videos etc worth $1000s to my computer.... Last year 2012 my HD crashed and I had a new installed with operating system OS X 10.5.8. Can't upgrade to later systems. Before the crash I had long  since moved out of the US and forgotten my old user ID and password for iTunes as I hardly ever purchased any music or used the program. Luckily I had my library saved on external HD and on my iPod. I just bought an iPod Nano this Xmas and when I was going to download music to it I realized I had problems. iTunes claims being the latest version (10.6.5) but the Ipod Nano want 10.7 to be able to work with iTunes. I then started to try to access my music and  iTunes that I had not been using since the crash. It was an upgraded version and had new unfamiliar functions. I tried, to the best of my ability, to set up the account but to my frustration I can no longer access the $1000s worth of purchased music and music videos. ITunes just give me " I have already authorized this computer Including this one, you have authorized one computer out of your available 5". I only have this computer with iTunes! Is it a bug and how can I access my music?? I undestand I most likely will have to purchase a brand new computer to be able to use my iPod Nano I allways loved Mac and it's programs for its simplicity as I am no computer vizard but I am now desperate and at my wits end HELP!!

    In iTunes, do Store->View my AppleID
    Click "Deuthorize ALL"
    Then, on any computers you still have, do Store->Authorize this computer.  If there are less than 5, you will have no problem.

  • I have the iPhone 4. I recently switched from PC to IMac. I am trying to sync my iPhone, but iTunes will not let me add or remove anything. Do I need to change a setting since I changed computers? Help!

    I have the iPhone 4. I recently switched from PC to IMac. I am trying to sync my iPhone, but iTunes will not let me add or remove anything. Do I need to change a setting since I changed computers? I try to add songs from my music into my phone section and it will not go... Plus the playlists on my phone are not updated on my iTunes phone on my computer. Its like it never updated. What am I doing wrong??

    Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.
    When you sync to another it will delete the current content.
    Make sure you have copied everything from your old computer to your new one first.

  • ITunes will not let me backup and sync to new phone encrypted password??

    iTunes will not let me backup and sync to new phone encrypted password?? I've never set a password for my old iPhone 3gs but tried my old Apple ID sign-in passwords to no avail. I've simply sat here so frustrated....my husband sync'd his new iPhone 4 no problem, somehow the checkbox shows Encrypted password and I'm at a loss on how to change this/find the password and transfer my old backup onto my new phone so I can use it. Can anyone help? Tnx

    John,
    buy an iTunes Music Card and redeem it to your account - the "none" option should be available then.

    I am getting a 42404 error message when opening itunes and itunes will not let me connect my iphone to it trying to get me to restore. I need help? I am not that technically inclined and really simple terms  are appreciated.

    Try downloading the songs from a different device. If you are doing it from your iOS device, try form your computer.

  • ITunes will not let me sync my iPad 2...

    iTunes will not let me sync my 8 month old, previously synced iPad 2.  It is no longer recognized over Wi-Fi and when i plug it in via USB I am given the 'Set Up Your iPad' screen.  I have tried restoring from a backup, and that successfully restores my iPad but iTunes still will not recognize this.  My only options remain 'setup as a new iPad' or 'Restore from the backup...'
    Any ideas what I should do?  I have tried both soft and hard reboots, closed/reopened itunes, rebooted my MacBook...nothing has worked.  Should I suck it up and try resetting to the factory settings?  Or does this sound more like an issue with the iPad?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated - Thanks

    ISSURE RESOLVED - there was an interupted/corrupt backup of this device that had to be deleted.  After deleting this backup file, iPad was recognized without issue...only wish is hadnt tried 'restoring from backup' first since my settings were reverted to that previous date once issue was resolved.

  • I have forgot my Iphone passcode. Itunes will not let me restore it, i do not have icloude,or find my iphone,and the closest itunes store is 4 hours away how can i unlock, or reset my phone?

    I have forgot my Iphone passcode. Itunes will not let me restore it, i do not have icloude,or find my iphone,and the closest itunes store is 4 hours away how can i unlock, or reset my phone?

    Try this:
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

    my itunes will NOT let me buy any explicit music and i dont know why can anyone help me?

    Either:
    iTunes is trying to protect you from the ugly side of the adult world
    Your parents are trying to protect you from the ugly side of the adult world
    You've turned on the Parental/Content Restrictions by mistake
    Look in iTunes at Edit/Preferences/Parental>Content Restrictions>Restrict explicit content and make sure the tick is not in the checkbox.

  • ITunes will not let me access old accounts

    I tried to connect either of my old accounts for my iPhone 4, but iTunes will not let me in.  When I ask for password recovery no email is sent to either account, but when I try to use either email address I get an error saying that both are still registered.  THEY CANT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS!  I need to use either of these email for my current account.  How do I delete these accounts??  There is no help for iTunes online, just product support they want you to pay for!
    Its stupidly hard to clear these old accounts out!  Please help.

    Hi vsarge,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of what you are describing. If you are talking about not receiving the reset emails for the Apple ID or IDs associated with iTunes, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:
    If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support
