HT5622 How can I authorize a new computer (with windows 8) without deauthorizing my other computers (windows 7) . Under manage your account the only choice given is to deauthorize all computers already authorized

I just bought a new computer with windows 8. I have 2 other computers (windows 7) authorized for itunes. When I go to manage your account the only choice I am give is to deauthorize all computers. There is no place from which to authorize this new computer or to deauthorize the 1 computer that is dead rather than both. Suggestions appreciated

To authorize the Windows 8 computer, 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.
It isn't possible to individually deauthorize a computer which is dead or which you don't have either physical or network access to.

  • How can I authorize my new computer (win7 prof 64bit) on ADE 3.0 (previous Win XP; ADE 2.0)?

    how can I authorize my new computer (win7 prof 64bit) on ADE 3.0 (previous Win XP; ADE 2.0)?

    Two things worth trying ..
    ~~~~~~~~~~~

    Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
    Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
    Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
    A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
    This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
    Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.
    In extreme cases on the mac, the following extra step has helped some people.  Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash. If you are using 10.7, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1265248?tstart=0

    There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0.  Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
    (You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

  • HT1420 my other computer was broken and stolen...its more than 5 .. how can i authorize my new computer for the 6x?  again i can not de authorize because the computers are not with me now.

    how can i authorize my computer.. my previous 5 computers are stolen and broken. I can not authorize anymore because they re asking me to de authorize the 5 computers but its not with me now.

    Go back to the article you asked this question from and use the Deauthorize All function. If that's not an option, use the 'contact iTunes Store Support' link.

  • How do I authorize my new computer with Windows 8?

    I recently recieved a new computer (A notebook PC) with windows 8 and I decided that I would like for it to have all of my purchases from Itunes on it.  I promptly downloaded the app, signed in, and attempted to download my music from my account.  Then a message appeared stating that only authorized computers could download previous purchases from my account.  I went to the website in search of a way to authorize this new computer, but to no avail.  I was wondering if anyone could help me authorize my computer so that I can finally listen to my music.  Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks!

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

  • How can I authorize a new computer when my iMac account has changed?

    For several years, my iTunes account was listed under my former email address. I now have a different computer and I am using my iMac address for my account, When I attempt to play tunes that I purchased and downloaded under the former account, I get a message that says I must authorize this computer.If I try to authorize the new computer using the old account, I get a message that account no longer exists (which is true). If I try to authorize using the new account, I get a message telling me this computer is already authorized (also true). But it still won't let me play songs authorized under the old account! Any suggestions????

    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.

  • How can i sinc my new computer with my contacts that are in cloud

    my current contacts are in the cloud and on my PC. I just got a new PCand would like to retrieve those contacts to sinc on my new PC

    Hello there, lisa1601.
    Since your contacts are already in the cloud, then you just need to turn on the feature in the iCloud Control Panel:
    iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
    Particular for your issue:
    On a Windows computer, open the iCloud Control Panel, then select or deselect each feature. To make your changes take effect, click Apply.
    Turning on Mail, Contacts, Calendars, & Tasks adds your iCloud account to Microsoft Outlook 2007 or later if your Windows computer has it installed. Note that iCloud reminders are called tasks in Outlook.
    If Outlook isn’t installed on your Windows computer, you can use iCloud Mail, Contacts, Calendars, & Reminders in your web browser at iCloud.com.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

    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.

  • How can I use a new computer without deleting everything on iPod?

    Hey Guys
    I need a bit of help.
    My old computer died, it was running Windows XP. I've got myself a new computer running Windows 7.
    I have a copy of my iTunes folders from my old computer (taken 2 days before it died)
    How can I use a new computer without deleting everything on iPod touch?
    I've imported all the folders (music, apps etc) into the new computer's iTunes, but when I sync my iPod
    I receive a window asking if i want to sync i need to erase and replace with the iTunes library on the computer.
    I particularly don't want to do this.
    My wife also uses my iTunes for her iPhone.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

    Make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Backup. Then restore the iPod from that backup and sync as necessary.
