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.

  • TS1277 My iTunes won't let me authorize my computer. I have Windows 8 and have only 3 devices authorized through my account. What should I do?

    My iTunes account won't let me authorize my computer. I have Windows 8 and have only 3 devices authorized through my account. What should I do?

    Howdy scrafts,
    I would suggest this article named iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1277
    Open Computer from the Start menu.
    From the Organize menu, choose Folder and Search Options.
    Click the View tab.
    In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders," make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
    Click OK.
    Navigate to the following location by either typing it into the address bar, copying and pasting it into the address bar, or clicking through the folder hierarchy listed:C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes
    Right-click the SC Info folder shown and on the shortcut menu, choose Delete.
    Restart the computer.
    Take care,

  • 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.

  • I want to update my phone, but i purchased many apps and music on the phone. it won't let me authorize my computer so i cannot update. i don't want to deauthorize all my computers. how can i find out which 5 computers i have authorized?

    This is a tedious solution, which is stupid!  And some users report an inability to reauthorize a computer after an "en masse” deauthorization.  I can’t believe Apple doesn’t provide a list or menu to find out which computers you’ve authorized! Obviously, APPLE knows (or else they couldn’t tell us how many computers we have authorized)--so why can’t they give us access to that information about our own computers??!!!
    And for an already-authorized computer with a hard drive that’s since been replaced and upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, would it be recognized as a “new computer” and require authorization? Would its previous incarnation (i.e., with the old hard drive and OS) be considered a separate computer? Some users report they can’t authorize a computer after an OS upgrade because of that. Can’t believe we have to do such a bass-ackwards kludge!

    Authorization and Deauthorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    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. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    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.

  • ITunes won't let me start my computer.

    I can download iTunes fine, and it runs perfectly so I turn off my PC. When I go to turn it back on it won't start. So I run a diagnosis to figure out what program is keeping it from running. After several minutes it tells me that it has erased whatever was keeping it from running. When I restart my computer iTunes is gone and I can't use any of my music. I need iTunes for my Apple products but I can't keep it on my PC because it won't let me run my computer. I don't know what to do.

    it sounds like it is a problem with a particular app or song which has been purchased/transferred.
    painful but can you think of any that may be causing the problem.

  • HT1420 itunes won't let me syn my iphone and transfer

    i reinstall my windows and itunes said I used over 5 PC and won't let me transfer!  I only have it on my laptop and this PC...how can I restart my itunes to transfer my purchase apps?

    De-Authorize all then re-authorize the active ones.  Bear in mind that you can only de-authorize all once every 12 months.

  • HT1420 iTunes won't let me synch my iphone or ipad to my comuter

    iTunes will not let me synch my iPad or iPhone with this computer because it states it cannot be authorized. When I try to authorize it iTunes says that I already have computers authorized. But when I go in to my account it syays that only 4 computers are authorized and that this computer is one that is already authorized. How do I fix this please?

    3194 error is often due to Apple being blocked from signing and verifying your firmware through iTunes. Check on your computer by searching for "Hosts". Open your Hosts file with a Word Processing Program. If your Hosts file contains any lines with gs.apple.com, they have to be removed, the entire line with the numbers too. If you do not have gs.apple.com then this is not the problem. A normal Hosts file will not have gs.apple.com in it.

  • ITunes won't let me authorize my new computer because I already have 5 computers authorized. One of those computers are broken so I can't deauthorize it!

My old laptop is BROKEN so i can't go on itunes to deauthorize it!!! what do i do?! i really can't remember the other 2 computers i used to authorize my account! help me please thanks

    Hi songmii,
    go into view your account(Store->View Account)
    in that screen after you type in your password go to where it says authorizations and to the right you should see, deauthorize all, click that.
    after that you just need to authorize the computers you are currently using(Store->Authorize this computer)
    that should do it
    When I'm saying Store, I mean at the top menu where it says File-Edit-View-Control-Store
    hope that helps,
    Dane

    trying to rent a movie on apple tv for the first time and have to authorize my computer but can't find the itunes menu that allows me to do this.  any thoughts out there? 

    If the computer's running Mac OS X, move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store, and choose Authorize this Computer.
    If the computer's running Windows, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

  • Istore won't let me authorize my computer

    While I was living in Germany I bought a lot of music from the German MusicStore. Now I am back in the USA but I had to reload my OS and now I can't play any of the music I purchased in Germany. When I try and authorize my computer it says its not authorized. When I put in my account and password it takes me to my account in the German Music Store but it won't authorize my music.

  • ITunes won't let me authorize my computers

    I'm unable to add my Mac even though I have 4 devices listed . It says I already have 5 computers authorized on the account but it won't show me what they are so I'm unable to de-authorize them.

    Use the Deauthorize All command documented in this article.

  • My Itunes won't let me buy apps or songs, and I can't even download the free ones

    Hello.  I have an iphone 5.  Iv'e had it scince May of 2013 (this year).  I really haven't had any problems before with Itunes, but I can't buy songs or apps, and I cannot even download the free apps!  I have recently got an Itunes gift card for Christmas, and I put it into my Iphone, and Itunes says I have the money from the gift card.  I started to notice this when I was my grandparent's house a few days ago for Christmas, and it wouldn't let me get an app, even though it was free.  I thought it was because of a diffent type of WiFi or because I was at a different place, but when I got home, it still wasn't working.  Whenever I try to buy or download something, it says, "Verification Info."  I click continue, and it says that I need to buy money with a credt card, even though I have money in my account!  This has also happend to my sister (she has an iphone 4).  Please help!

    Hi there,
    The current file type is a VLC media file (.flac) (.flac), 34MB. I have never had any trouble adding music before, I have always been able to simply drag them into itunes and they have transferred perfectly so I don't have any idea what has changed.
    iTunes does not support FLAC. The formats supported by iTunes are -
    AAC, MP3, Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV
    In addition it is possible to import unprotected WMA files and during the import iTunes will make a new converted version (usually in AAC format).
    If you are using iTunes on a Mac there is a complicated unofficial method that will let you add FLAC files in to iTunes but this is not possible with iTunes for Windows.
    It is possible to use Apple Lossless in iTunes (as listed above this is officially supported) and use the same Apple Lossless files in Windows Media Player, Microsoft MediaCenter, foobar, WinAmp, dbPoweramp, VLC, and many others. Some of these need free plugins to add support for Apple Lossless but to illustrate it is possible, I have all my music in Apple Lossless (in iTunes), and share the same files with WMP and Microsoft MediaCenter.
