We have three operational computers, one does not have iTunes on it. Since Apple is saying I have more than 5 authorized computers, and I can't imagine what they are, I am afraid to deauthorize all my computers. See what I mean? I just wanted to ask the question about how I can find out WHICH computers Apple thinks I have authorized, so I can decide if it's safe to deauthorize them all or not.
You could have more 5 computers authorized if you ever, for example, reformatted a hard drive or replaced a hard drive without deauthorizing the computer first. Apple's system would see that as a different computer, even though you don't. There's nothing to be afraid of in deauthorizing everything and the reauthorizing what you actually have. You won't lose any data. Mistimp is correct, they can't tell you which computers are authorized.

How do you access your itunes library from the icloud on your ipad?

You have asked two different questions?
Your account is just a user name and password. You can access that to buy content from any computer with itunes, just sign it.
Your library wil only be where your put it. Yo can copy it from one computer to another, or from your backup copy of your computer ot another computer. In some countries you can download some past itunes purchases.

How can I access my backup Data on my Time Capsule HD?!

I have 1.77 TB of Data but cannot access!?
After having problems with several programs crashing, I had do do a complete reset, on my macbookpro.
I erased everything on my macbookpro's HD and did a complete reset begininng with reloading OSX-Maverick.
I have also manually reinstalled all my apps, hoping to avoid reinstalling to problems causing the crashes.
Everything seems to be working fine now... with the exception that I can't seem to access the backup data on my Time Machine.
I have tried using the disk utility also, but after a 1 min of trying to access the disk, it stops reponding and I have to force quite Disk Utility.
I need help! The back up data is my life!;-0

Did you use TM since you upgraded to Mavericks??
That could cause damage to the TM backups.
I am really unsure how to advise you on this one.. but if you need the backups you have to take heroic measures..
I would not use Mavericks.. if the backups were done under Mountain Lion.. get an external drive for the computer and load ML on it.. then get another disk and do a full restore of the backups to a different location.
See the restore info in Pondini for help.
Q14-17 here.
Or boot with the original DVD and use TM to restore .. as per instructions here.
http://pondini.org/TM/Home.html
Use Setup Assistant .. or if all else fails use migration assistant.
It may even be worth archiving the TC before you begin so you know all the data is preserved and Mavericks is not just going to wipe it out as soon as TM starts.

How do you access a backup of a time capsule that was made to an external drive?, How does one access a backup of a time capsule that was made to an external drive?

Back in Oct my TC was poppping an error that it was full. Research in here told me the solution was to backup the TC to an external HD and wipe it. I now need something off that old backup and don't know how to mount it to retrieve the documents.
I tried to mount it by selecting the EX HD in the TM software however it says the drive is not in a readable format.
At a loss on what to do.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I get a ton of greyed out bars (no dates) but only a couple (one date) at the bottom is clickable. It appears to me at least there are a lot of backup windows I just can't access. The recent ones that I can access work fine and they are TODAY and Sept 6 which was likely the day I did the achive.
If you see actual dates there, that you can't access, it means that whatever's in the Finder window wasn't included in that backup. See the pink box in #15A of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
But if they're just items on a "placeholder" scale, there aren't any other recognizable backups.
As you detail I can mount the ext hd in finder and in the sidebar I get an image "Time Machine Backups" which gives me a folder "backups.backupdb" which has a folder for my mac mini and then only three folders. One is the Sept 6 date, on is 'in-progress' and the third is 'latest'. Going into the Sept 6 gives me access to the same data as going in via TM.
That sounds like you only have the 1 completed backup, of September 6. The "Latest" item is simply an alias to the most recent completed backup.
Before going any farther, try to Repair the backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting. Use the procedure for an external disk connected to a Time Capsule.
If that doesn't help, it sounds like Time Machine had deleted all previous backups trying to make room for a (very large) new one. See the pink box in #C4 ofTime Machine - Troubleshooting for details.
The .inProgress package is the remains of one or more failed or cancelled backups. You can't use Time Machine to get at it, and there's no telling what's inside it, but it's not a complete backup.
You may be able to find some things in it and copy them, but you may have difficulty with permissions, locked files, etc.
It looks like a file, but is actually a special kind of folder that's treated like a single object for most purposes.
Select it, then right-click it and select the Show Package Contents option. There may be one or more folders with gibberish names, containing partial backups. Navigate through the folder structure to see what you can find. That will be "hit and miss," and the results will be unpredictable.

HT4859 How to restore from iCloud a specific set of data?

Hi,
i need to recover only a subset of the iCoud back up; infact I removed Whatsapp and then reinstalled; I have lost all my message history. It is still in the iCoud back up, since the storage detail shows me 26MB usage from whatsapp.
I don't wanto torestore the whole device, but just those data I need!!!
Any suggestion?

Apple are unlikely to read your comments, if you have any suggestions that you think might enhance iCloud you can send Apple your feedback here.

ICloud storage space used up by old data from 1st gen iPad I traded in nearly 2 yrs ago for an iPad Mini. Can't backup any info for mini or new 6 plus. How can I access this old data to clear it out?

My iCoud storage space is being used up by old data from a 1st generation iPad I traded in nearly 2 yrs ago for an iPad Mini. The people at the sprint store where I made my trade were supposed to transfer everything over from my old iPad to the new Mini once they backed up the old device to iCloud. Well, long story short, none of the data ever got transferred to the new iPad, but it all got backed to iCloud, eating up all my storage space. Here I am almost 2 years later, and I've never been able to back-up my iPad mini. What's worse, My iPhone 4 wasn't backed up that whole time, and now I can't back-up my data from my new iPhone 6 Plus to iCloud either. Trying to find creative ways to store and save my information and data between all my devices is getting to be ridiculous. I don't want to upgrade my storage space though...just want to clear out a great deal of what is already being stored. How can I access this old data to clear it out?

The only way to access data from an iCloud backup is to restore it to your device. You could, for example, back up your iPad mini to your computer using iTunes (by connecting it, opening iTunes, then going to File>Devices>Back Up and choosing to back up apps and transfer purchases when prompted), then erase it and restore the old iPad backup (as explained here: iCloud: Restore or set up your iOS device from iCloud), save any recovered data you want to keep, then restore your iTunes backup back to your iPad mini (by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, then going to File>Devices>Restore from Backup).
Once you're done with the old backup, delete it from your account to free up the space.

How do you access updates to apps from the App store after changing to a new ID because the password on the old ID was changed and you don't know what it is now?

How do you access updates to apps from the App store after changing to a new ID because the password on the old ID was changed by the former husband and you don't know what it is now? And you set up your own new ID and account but can NOT access the updates, from the App store for the many apps that you already have, because they require that you sign in with that former now inaccessible ID and account and password? Call it a problem of modern times and changing relationships, if you want to be charitable.

So I guess it will only be new apps that I download that are allowed to give me their updates while 13 updates wait for me on an ID I can no longer access.
Yes... sorry.
In the future, if need be, you can re download your purchases for free > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Good rule of thumb is to back up your purchases regardless > Mac App Store: Backing up your app purchases

To add to sig's reply, "calibrating" does not calibrate Lithiu-Ion batteries, it calibrates the charge reporting circuitry. If you look at the effect of deep discharging Lithium-Ion batteries in the data from the independent test group, Battery University, you will see that doing so shortens the life of the battery significantly. It looks like an optimum balance between use and life is at a discharge level of 50%.
