HT204053 How can I reset my authorised laptops?

I've had the same apple ID for the past 8 or so years, and I've used itunes for a few laptops. I know the situation with 5 authorisations.
The first laptop I had, was the 1st device authorised, the HDD was repaired, so when I re-installed itunes. it used up a second authorisation, it didnt bother me too much. So I got a new laptop in 2009 and it used a third authorisation, and I updated from vista to win7, so I think it was the 4th authorisation used. I've just bought a new laptop and I thought i had managed to get it authorised, but when I connect my iphone to sync, it says I've used my 5 authorisations and I can't transfer apps etc, and I really don't want to reinstall them one by one. I have an ipod touch also, which I haven't used on this laptop yet, but my question is - I don't have either of those first 2 laptops any more, is there any way I can de-authorise those laptops from my account, so I can get the authorisation back and update my phone etc? I believe it's due a software update, and don't want to lose everything just cos of a case of authorisation

You can find that option by logging into your iTunes account. The instructions are on this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420

  • HT204053 How can I reset my apple ID

    How can reset my apple ID

    If you mean that it's been disabled then you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your phone then try logging out of your account on the phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it
    If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • HT204053 how can I reset my iphone that has a apple id that is not mine

    Please show me how to access my iphone that i was given and I cannot find the original apple id

    If you mean that it has locked to an somebody else's account in Settings > iCloud then it has activation lock on it : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515
    You will need to contact the owner of that account and ask them to remove the phone from their account - only the owner of the account can remove a device from it.

  • After a year of no use and a fully discharged battery, my MacBook Pro refuses to accept the administrator name and the password. How can I reset these?

    After a year of no use and a resulting fully discharged battery, the MacBook Pro refuses to recognize the administrator name and password (both). It has system OS X 10.6 which can not be upgraded without the information. How can I reset or reistall the administrator name and password?

    Thanks to all who responded. You are all absolutely correct. However, this Ipad was a gift to my wife who was dying of cancer in the hospital and wanted some entertainment. So I started it out with her Apple ID. After she passed away I moved from Sacramento to Austin and eventually proceeded to get the Apple ID changed from my wife's to mine. Meanwhile when she was in the hospital I opened an Itunes account in my name to buy movies for her. That was the first mistake.
    Then during the move to Austin I lost track of the IPAD and later found it and tried to use support but could not remember the proper ID. Later the folks at the Apple store helped me create a new and novel Apple ID that was unfortunately unlike any other.
    The botom line is that I am stuck with three Apple IDs and three passwords. I am told by Apple there is nothing they can do about this as IDs cannot be changed or destroyed. I can quit using them or start a new account but when I try to do that the system keeps remembering too many things from the past and resists.
    Even if I sold this Ipad and bought a new one, the system memory is still there.
    I think the real problem is that destop and laptop computers are totally owned by an individual and that individual can control logins and passwords to his liking. IPADs and similar Apple products are different in that the corporation has built in their own intrusion detection schemes because of the relation to Itunes.
    One thing I thought about is to open a new Itunes account pretendding to be a new customer with my regular Apple ID. Perhaps I could do the same with Apple Support.
    Thanks for your comments.

  • How can I reset the screen colors/resolution on an old white macbook?

    My screen shows neon colors and a zigzag shapes.  How can I reset the color resolution?  This laptop was supposedly fixed but when returned all my data had been "lost".  The certified mac tech said he reinstalled the OS but lost all my desktop files and HD and couldn't recover.  ODDLY, when I started the machine and started fresh, my old hard drive was still there!  Although he'd wiped out my current desktop files- gone.  But, the  screen colors went wonky all of the sudden and I don't know how to resert or correct the resolution.  Can any one share a suggestion?

    With that kind of issue after returning from a repair where a tech was inside the computer, it should be returned to the same place for an evaluation of the problem, a diagnosis, and perhaps they need to check their work to see if something came loose while they had it apart.
    The System Preferences> Displays has a panel to select settings.
    You may have to try & see about a reset of System Management Controller http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 Or, if reset of NVRAM  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 may help. Not sure if these would do anything if there is hardware damage.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How can i unlock my dell laptop if i forgot the administrator password?

    Dear Sir,
    I forgot my dell laptop administrator password and locked out of the laptop, now i have to use my laptop to finish the home work, how can i unlock my dell laptop if i forgot
    the administrator password?
    Thanks in advance!

    Forgot dell laptop administrator password? It would be very frustrated if you are urgent to use the laptop but locked out of it.
    Here are the methods
    how to unlock dell laptop forgot password. I hope it will be helpful for you.
    Method 1: Reset password on your dell laptop with password reset disk
    This method only works when you have
    created a password reset disk before you forgot password.
    <1>. On your dell laptop logon screen, press
    Enter directory, and then a password incorrect hint pups up, click on
    OK to close it.
    <2>. Click
    Reset password… bellow the password text box.
    <3>. When the password reset wizard appears, click
    Next.
    <4>. Insert the password reset disk, click
    Next.
    <5>. Type in
    new password, and the new password hint, click
    Next, click Finish.
    <6>. Then you can login with the new password.
    Method 2: Unlock your laptop password with Offline NT Password and Registry Editor
    If you have not created a password reset disk before, you can create a live cd or bootable usb with Offline NT Password Registry Editor which is a freeware program. It is base on the text console, so it
    may be a difficult to carry out.
    Here are the main steps to use Offline NT password registry editor:
    <1>.
    Get Offline NT Password Registry Editor and use it to create a live cd or bootable usb.
    <2>.
    Set your dell laptop to boot with the cd or usb.
    <3>. Follow the instruction to finish the operation when the password reset program starts.

    Hi
    Do you use preinstalled Windows 8 system?
    In case its Win 8, I recommend checking this Toshiba Win 8 recovery & repair doc
    [Windows 8 Recovery & Repair|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2A03ES0000R01.htm]
    In order to set the system back to factory settings, you should choose the option Reset your PC.
    +This option, "Reset your PC" is useful when a PC is changing hands, or when you want to get a completely fresh start on a PC, with no previous files or configuration retained. It removes everything and reinstall Windows option permanently removes your personal files and apps from the PC and returns Windows 8 to its original state. That original state is either a clean install of Windows 8, or the OEM factory default configuration, depending on the media used for the operation.+
