HT204074 "Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it." Then why does iTunes not let me authorize any more than 5 devices?

Why can't I authorize more than 5 devices if the help information says I can have 10?

Probably because of the GUIDs. When you upgrade or change hardware this tends to happen, especially on PCs.

  • TS4268 My iMessage doesn't work on my iPad. My software is up to date, wifi is working, apple ID is working but the verification stops and goes back to sign on. Why does this happen?

    My iMessage doesn't work on my iPad. My software is up to date, wifi is working, apple ID is working but the verification stops and goes back to sign on. Why does this happen?

    Look at no. 5 in this text which was copied from Apple's support site for troubleshooting Messages and FaceTime activation.
    Troubleshooting Apple ID activation
    After each step, toggle iMessage and FaceTime off and then on again in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Ensure that you have an active Internet connection. You can complete activation using Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection. Check your Wi-Fi network using standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting.
    If you receive an error when signing in to your Apple ID, visit myinfo.apple.com, sign in to your account, and ensure that the primary email address has been verified.
    Ensure that FaceTime has not been restricted: Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
    In Settings > General > Date & Time, ensure that Set Automatically is on. If Set Automatically is on, but the incorrect time zone is displayed, turn Set Automatically off and then choose the correct time zone, date, and time. Then turn Set Automatically on again.
    Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to another Wi-Fi network in a different location.

  • MY IPAD WILL NOT LET ME DOWNLOAD ANY MORE APPS UNLESS I DELETE SOME APPS I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I CAN BE OUT OF ROOM I ONLY HAVE ABOUT 10 SONGS NAD VERY FEW APPS ACTIVE AND IT WON'T LET ME BACKUP MY IPAD IT SAYS IM OUT OF STORAGE I ONLY HAVE 5 MG

    I can't do the update it says I don't have enough storage it wont even let me download apps, I have very little on my Ipad i only have 1 song 24 apps 623 photos 96 videos and this has 13 GB

    The 96 videos are probably the space hog.
    How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.

    How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
    http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • How do I get my new Apple ID associated with an older MacBookPro so that I don't get charged more than once for a purchased app when I download it to the older computer recently upgraded to Snow Leopard?

    I recently upgraded my 2 year old MacBookPro to Snow Leopard so I could download Face Time and Final Cut ProX to it.
    I've already purchased the apps and installed on my iMAC and Macbook Air.
    After downloading Face Time I received the following mail;
    "Your Apple ID, *************, was just used to purchase FaceTime from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.
    If you made this purchase, you can disregard this email. This email was sent as a safeguard designed to protect you against unauthorised purchases.
    If you did not make this purchase, we recommend that you go to iforgot.apple.com to change your password, then see Apple ID: Tips for protecting the security of your account for further assistance.
    Regards,
    Apple"
    I don't want to be charged twice for these apps, especially Final Cut ProX, so how can I get the MacBookPro associated with the Apple ID I'm using now?
    Cheers

    This is probably a new precaution that Apple has taken to alert folks that something has occurred with their account that has not occurred before*, namely a Mac has downloaded something from their account that has not done so before. And as the notice says, if it was you doing so, then you may safely ignore the notice. Also, do not be alarmed, Apple refers to all downloads as purchases, even when they are free.
    But if you are truly concerned about the notice then you can authorize the Mac with your iTunes account, which should be the same as your MAS account. Open iTunes on the older Mac and sign into your account. Then in the Store menu choose Authorize This Computer. Now this Mac is definitely associated with your account and can now play media that you purchase from the iTunes Store as well.
    *My banks do the same thing when I pop up making a purchase with my bank cards somewhere in the world I have never made a purchase before. They call me and email me and want to know if it is indeed me using the card.

    Download them to iTunes abd then sync the apps. Make an appointment with Apple and see what the problem is.

  • Why does adobe not let you manage the computers your accounts are set up with from the online service?

    ?? They expect you to deauthorize from that computer, but if you sell that computer you don't have access to it anymore. HELLO?? Anyone at Adobe try thinking that far ahead or is it done on purpose to screw the customers? I have to active creative cloud memberships but only one computer using it with 4 computers signed up with only 1 actively using it because I don't have access to the other ones to deactivate the computers creative cloud is active on. Adobe recommends reinstalling creative cloud and deactivating, but here's a newsflash, if you don't own those computers anymore YOU CANT DO IT. It is not that hard to activate and deactivate computers "FROM THE CLOUD" especially on a service called "CREATIVE CLOUD" because Microsoft and apple do it with Office 365 and any Mac product. I take it my only solution is to cancel my credit card??

    Before complaining that something can't be done, a simple question of HOW to do something would be better... there IS a way to deactivate a computer you don't have access to physically

  • Why does iTunes not display hdcp content on my second monitor?  The adapter monitor and cable have HDCP Support.  This also occurs with a rocketfish mini display port to hdmi adapter.

    It works for a time and then fails.
    ITunes 11.04.
    iMac Purchased Early 2013.

    Seems to work when I swapped dapaters from theb 3.0 adapter to the mini display port adapter.  THis is the same thing that got it worling the first time byt in reverse.
    Had already tried clearing the PRAM.  If it occurs again, I will have to try redetecting displays next time.  Judging by what I saw reading through these forums it will happen again,

  • HT1688 Can anyone tell me why i might not be receiving texts any more on my i-phone.  I can send texts, but cannot receive?

    Can anyone tell me why i am not able to receive texts anymore on my i-phone?  I can send texts, and can receive texts on my i-pad, but they don't come through on my phone?

    Are you referring to a regular SMS text, or an iMessage. The solution is different based on what it actually is that you are not receiving. Are these from non-iOS devices (SMS) or iOS devices (iMessage)?

  • My touch screen isn't working and stopped working after I went running with it. I have restarted it multiple times and restored it on my MacBook. It will still not let me slide it to even look at the phone. Please help ASAP.

    I took my iPhone running today and when I returned I was not able to slide it open or type in my pass code. All buttons are still responding. I have tried restarting it multiple times and even restored it, but the touch screen will not respond to anything. I also cleaned the screen off with a damp cloth. Please help! I WAS able to slide it open in the middle of restoring it but not able to click on any apps. Help! My life is on my iPhone and I am a nurse on call!

    Try restore as new using computer iTunes.

  • How do you take airplay off? it's not letting me play any sort of music, and I can't hear my ringer or anything., how do you take airplay off? it's not letting me play any sort of music, and I can't hear my ringer or anything.

    My airplay popped out of no where , and it's not letting me play any music or watch any videos.
    Also, when I get a text message or when someone calls me my phone just vibrates no sound or anything at all.

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • HT204406 I have subscribed to match on iTunes and organized my music on my Mac Book.  Why does it not appear the same way on my iPad

    I would like my music to appear organized in the same way on my iPad as I have done it on my Mac Book.  (and on my iPhone as well)  Since it is in the cloud, why does it not appear the same way in all devices?

    The purpose of iTunes match is to make your music library available to all of your devices anywhere. It will sync Playlists, but no other type of organization you may have made.
    If you're having trouble, be sure you are logged into the same Apple ID on all devices but be sure to read this article and pay special attention to associating your devices with an Apple ID. There are important restrictions you should know about.
