HT1420 Why can't iTunes show me which computers that are authorized?  Why do I need to find those computers?

With my kids all over the place, why do I need to find every computer that is authorized?  In order to deauthorize a specific computer, i need to find that computer and deauthorize it.  i should be able to access my account and see the computers that are authorized, and select one or two for deauthorization. As an alternative, I should be able to purchase an additional pack of authorizations for my account. The authorization process is poorly designed and hard to use.

If you have 2 or more computers authorised then you can log into your account on your computer's iTunes and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then authorise/reauthorise the computers that you still have and need.
In terms of seeing a list of authorised computers and/or purchasing extra authorisations, you can try leaving feedback for Apple here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • HT1420 I do not have the computers that were Authorized.  How do I authorize my current computers to run iTunes?

    I do not have the computers that were Authorized.  How do I authorize my current computers to run iTunes?

    Go back to the article you asked this question from, use the Deauthorize All function or the link to contact the iTunes Store staff, and then authorize computers as needed.

    Thanks

    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.
    For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.

  • Why can't I open/see PDF files that are embedded in an email or sent through the internet?

    I can read/see PDF files that are attached to an email, but I can't see/read them if they are embedded in an email or sent through the internet.

    I have a similar problem. I can open, read, and save PDF files, but I can't view my online bank statement on my Mac. The statement opens automatically if I use a PC, but on my Mac the page says I need Adobe Reader to view my statement. I already have the latest version of Adobe Reader. The problem seems to be that that the plugin only goes to the Libray. It doesn't get installed into Safari or into FireFox either.

  • Itunes shows songs on ipod that are missing

    After adding a song to my ipod touch 5th gen (iOS 8.2), all of my other songs disappeared. however when plugged into my laptop and open itunes (12.1.1.4), it says that all of my songs are on my ipod. confused. any help with this is greatly appreciated.

    I've figured it out. I deleted the songs that didn't play from my library.... Then I took the original music files and converted them to MP3 then readded them to my library and now I'm good to go.... Hope this helps anybody else who may have had a similiar problem.... Thanx for looking.

  • Why can't I receive email calendar appointments that are sent to my email address, that i can confirm/deny etc?

    A friend has to send me a monthly notification to attend a meeting, and her email is always blank, with no details of the time or date of the meeting and no tabs to reply/ confirm my attendance.
    All the other committee members get the appointment details and a request to hit a tab on the screen to reply, but I don't have this. Do I need to set this up. I don't work so its just a home pc with nothing set up?
    She now has to send me a separate email to tell me the date/time etc of each meeting, but I feel sure this could be very easily rectified! -
    Thanks a lot

    Try signing out in System Preferences>iCloud and signing back in again. Your data will disappear when you sign out but will return when you sign back in.

  • HT1420 where do i find the list of computers that are authorized in my account?

    where do i find the list of computers that are authorized in my account?

    Thanks for that.
    I downloaded the tool and something funny happens, i am trying to start the tool but I get an error saying: "The airport management utility requires airport 3.4 or later".
    I have airport 5.7 on osx 10.5 so of course nothing updates with system software update.
    Any one?

  • Why can't there be a simple utility that shows me which device connected to my Airport is using how much of the bandwidth in a simple graphical or stats format without requiring me to be a level 10 Black Belt or Chuck Norris' paternal tooth fairy?

    Why can't there be a simple utility that shows me which device connected to my Airport is using how much of the bandwidth in a simple graphical or stats format without requiring me to be a level 10 Black Belt or Chuck Norris' paternal tooth fairy?
    I need to see who is consuming the most bandwidth and limit that user/device. A very simple and dare I say it, legal, moral, and normal wish.

    They are not overloading the Airport. They are overwhelming the capacity of your Internet connection.
    No. It's not "shared equally". That's not how packet switched networks function.
    Most consumer grade routers do not have the ability to restrict bandwidth use on a per machine basis. You need relatively expensive (but readily available) equipment to do that.
    How many people are on the network? It can't be that hard to hunt them down.

  • Why can't iTunes find all the album artwork?

    Why can't iTunes find all the album artwork?

    That would fall under Browsing History. Firefox > History -> Show All History
    Firefox doesn't use Temporary Internet Files for anything except Windows Media files.
    Type '''about:cache''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
    Disk cache device = List Cache entries

  • Why can't iTunes resume playback of the last track I played before closing it?

    If Safari can recall the last page I had open when I closed it, and Preview can open the last documents I had open, why can't iTunes resume playback of the last track I played?
    Come on guys, a search on the internet will bring up discussions from the early 2000s with the question of resuming playback. Just add the feature already.

    HI THanks for this helpful post. I will try this. I have 2 iPods. One is 3rd Gen. I love the little small square, so I bought it on ebay. Then I got a little iPod nano ( again a tiny square shape)
    So I tried to sync them today and update them.
    This is the response I got.
      I get a message that the original file cannot be found and asks if I want to try and locate file.  I locate the file and it's empty?!
    This freaked me out because I have all this music I love. The only thumb drive is my back up drive which is not a thumb. Will the back up drive have my music files too?
    Thanks-Peace Out

  • Why can't iTune Apps download to my Mac Mini and MacBookPro?

    Why can't iTune Apps download to my Mac Mini and MacBookPro?

    Because those App's are for iDevices like iPad's and iPhone's.
    For Mac App's, you need to go to the > Mac App Store.

  • Why can't iTunes list composers

    I just bought 150 songs. Probably 80% of them have no composer listed. I thought I could look them up, but that is proving very difficult.
    If I buy the hard-copy CD, ALL of the composers for EVERY song are listed. Why can't iTunes provide the songwriter of each song they sell???

    This could turn into quite a p*ssing contest
    I don't see why it should turn into anything. If you are not interested in it, don't look at it.
    Some people are very interested in this info as some are interested in the cover art, lyrics, production notes,etc.
    The publisher has this info with readily available. And the publisher/label is VERY interested in who wrote the song.
    iTunes Producer is very easy to add this info.
    To add this to a song take almost zero effort.
    Also, the whole idea of ID3 tags is to have the information available for a song.
    Before formats with these tags were avalable, everything had to be named some cryptic combintaion of letters and/or stored on folders/subfolders withthe artist name or some way to know what the song is.
    Since the tags are there, why not use them?

  • Why can't itunes have DVD extras avaliable to download??

    How come on every site out there that that makes movie available to download, there are not any extras or special features that are avaliable? I don't think i am a minority out there when i say that the only reson i buy DVDs is specifically for the extras or the commentaries, other wise i would just Nextflix them. So why can't itunes make them avaliable? Like if you buy the movie then they can have the commenary build in like as dvds have them build into the audio tracks. Or maybe the other extras can be a free extra dowload avaliave to people that purchase the movie. Otherwise i'm not paying $14.00 to download a movie that does not contain the special features that the DVD would have contained.
      Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    iTunes movie downloads only have what the studios allow.
    I am sure that the studios make more money with DVD sales also , that could be why no extras in iTunes.
    I won't download movies because of the low quality. A 2.5" screen for 2 hours, hahaha.
