I can no longer deauthorize my pc
Hello , I'm trying to no avail to deauthorize my pc so i can play my music. iTunes says i can no longer deauthorize this computer for i've exceeded my allotment until may 29thof this year.
I believe you can de-authorize any machine you are sitting in front of with "Deauthorize this computer" any time, but you can only deauthorize all authorized computers once per year. This may be why you have to wait until May 29th. This limitation is in place to prevent abuse of the DRM policy (so you can't simply authorize and deauthorize your personal media collection in a way that could be called public sharing).
Basically, you will have to wait or contact Apple to negotiate an exception (if you think this is an error and you have not been deauthorizing machines frequently or at all).

How can I deauthorize Itunes on a computer that can no longer connect to the internet or is no longer working ?
You can't, which shouldn't be a problem unless you have 4 other computers authorized with the iTunes account and you need to authorize another.
Once you have authorized 5 computers, you can de-authorize all computere from a computer that is currently authorized followed re-authorizing the current active computers that need to be authorized. -
How do I deauthorize a computer I can no longer access?
I have five machines authorized on my account, but I only have two of the computers still. I will be getting a new one in the next couple of weeks, and will want to authorize that one. HOw can I deauthorize the ones I don't have any more? They are with family members but no longer at my house. Thanks in advanced.
Since you have 5 authorized systems, I would suggest you do a "deauthorize all", then simply reauthorize only the systems you are currently using. You are allowed to do this under your account settings for the iTunes store & you can do a "deauthorize all" once per year.

iTunes says I have authorized five computers so I can no longer play music I have purchased. I have not replaced my computer once. Why does iTunes say this?
Hey Christownsend,
Thanks for the question. To troubleshoot this issue, you may want to try deauthorizing all computers:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
To deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID
If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
1. Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
2. If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
3. Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
4. In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).
Thanks,

ITunes + Vista = my computer can no longer see my DVDrw drive...
I just downloaded iTunes 7.6.2.9 onto my Dell Inspiron E1705 - and when I restart my computer, the computer can no longer see my Optical drive (DVDrw). I contacted Dell support, and they changed something in the regedit limits or something(I'm not a techy lol), and my optical drive was back.
But the next day when I opened iTunes I got a message that says:
"Warning! The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
So I reinstalled iTunes.
I restarted my computer, and it could no longer see my optical drive AGAIN. My DVDrw drive gets an error that says "This device cannot start (Code 10)." When I check for solutions it says "Could not load driver software."
I go back to Dell support and tell them my optical drive isn't working. They do the exact same thing to fix it (deleting some limit with regedit) and it works. I open iTunes, and I get the iTunes Warning (Setup Assistant Error).
I asked the Dell tech what the deal was, and he said iTunes isn't compatible at all with Vista.
But according to Mac's website it is...
Anyone know what's going on?!?!I am having the exact same behavior as xhollysue!
It goes like this:
1. Install ITunes, lose optical disk drives hardware (they don't even show up in Windows Explorer).
2. Use RegEdit to disable Upper Filters at HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE1 0318}, optical drive hardware re-appears.
3. iTunes requires a re-install to permit CD burning, and your back to square one.
I got the above fix NOT from a Dell technician, but, instead, from a Microsoft technician, which cost me $70.
I would strongly urge Apple to research this issue and come up with a more reasonable workaround since (1) the iPhone is being adopted by many traditional MS users and the use of iTunes is an integral part of the iPhone technology architecture; (2) iPhone 3G is just now shipping and will bring even more into the Apple camp; and (3) iTunes is clearly a better media player.
Come on Apple. Let's get some enthusiam and take advantage of this opportunity! -
Since upgrading my phone to the iOS7, I can no longer download music or apps on neither my iphone or through itunes on my computer. On my phone, it won't let me accept the terms & conditions. On my computer, an error message keeps flashing up: 'Error (-50)'. Please help?...
Sounds like the device is in recovery mode. You will need to restore the phone. See this support document for instructions. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

How to Use Multiple iDevices with One Computer -
After upgrade to 10.7.1 users can no longer connect to shares
Ok , im not an admin to start off, but after upgrading the OSX lion server to 10.7.1 i can no longer connect to the sharepoints on my mac mini server.
Through SMB or AFP .. i tried using the connect to server on one of my clients and when i attempt to log in , it shakes the login window as if my password were not accepted.
Heres where it gets a little confusing to me, i have 2 mac mini servers both running OSX LION SERVER 10.7.1 .... The one that I CAN NOT LOG INTO is my OD Master... the second one is just used for file sharing...
WHEN i attempt to login into the file share server (which is connected to the OD Master which is rejecting my user logins) i can connect JUST FINE and access the sharepoiints on that server...
A couple more weird things... on the OD MASTER (again the server which is rejecting all user logins) I CAN login with my admin credentials and access the sharepoints... ??
-- when i am locally logged into the OD MASTER server, if i add a new sharepoint from scratch and edit the ACL , NONE OF MY USERS SHOW UP nor any of my user groups... it only allows me to add the Administrator access to that share..
Have i done something very wrong somehwere? this server that is having a problem is only used as a OD master and File share nothing else..
I did not change any settings besides add a new mac mini server to the OD and performa the 10.7.1 upgrade.
ANY HELP WOULD BE HUGE as i have spent a 12 hours trying to figure this out before i resort to a re install.I've only one hint to you, cause I've mot on Mac-Server.
With 10.7 Apple have switched from Samba (maybe due to licence problems with GPL based stuff) to a own protocol called "XSMB"
This had caused problems with some NAS systems too.
Eventually someone have a glue to solve that, as several users have problems with SMB shares since that.

After upgrade can no longer connect to Mac from Windows
I have a wireless network (Linksys) with 2 iMacs, Ubuntu Linux and Windows XP workstations. I have file sharing between the Windows and Mac computers. After upgrading I can no longer see the shared folders on the upgraded iMac from the Windows box. I cannot even ping the iMac by node name, but I can ping it by IP address so it is recognizable on the network. I cannot connect by IP address, however.
I have file and printer sharing enabled on the Leopard iMac. What can I do to restore the former connection?Thank you! That partially solved the problem. I can now see the Leopard Mac and can open my user folder on it. However, the subfolders give an error saying they are not accessible - permission denied. I have gone through the folders and set all of them to Shared, but this did not make them accessible.

Can no longer connect to internet w/ cell signal - advice?
Hi, all -
I can no longer access the internet using a cell signal on my Droid 3. Everything was working fine until about a week ago, but now I get no 3G signal at all and only one or two bars. When I turn on the WiFi, I have no trouble accessing the internet. I can make calls with no problem, but cannot access the internet or my apps.
I have tried the following, but I am still not getting a usable wireless signal:
· - Restarted device several times
· - Turned “airplane” settings on and off
· - Removed battery, replaced it and restarted
· - Dialed *228, then option 1 to activate service
· - Dialed *228, then option 2 to reprogram service
Does anybody have any other ideas? I REALLY do not want to use the "nuclear" factory reset option unless absolutely necessary!
Thanks in advance for any help!dmiller28, being without data is very difficult! Your efforts are greatly appreciated and you are on the right track with the troubleshooting steps. Have you tried checking the network settings in the device? To do this you will go to: menu>settings>wireless and networks>network mode and check if it is set to CDMA. Otherwise the next step is to do the factory reset which will be the last resort option. Keep us posted, thanks!

Can no longer connect to certain shares after upgrading to 10.8.4
After upgrading to the latest version of Mountain Lion, I can no longer access certain shared volumes. I have one machine running 10.4.11 and I can connect to its hard drive. Another machine on my network runs 10.5.8, and I can now only connect to the built-in hard drive. There are also 2 Firewire drives connected to that (10.5.8) machine that I can no longer connect to.
When I use "Connect to Server" and enter the AFP address of the 10.5.8 machine, I get a full list of "available" shares, but if I select one of the FireWire volumes, I just get a spinning "rosette" for several minutes and then a failure message. I also have an OS 9 machine that I can no longer connect to on the same network.
I already read the "Connecting to Legacy Systems" notice and still no joy after following the instructions.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
JonNo NAS other than an Apple one includes native support for AFP. They all use an open source package called Netatalk that is junk. Many years ago Apple deprecated the old security modules that Netatalk uses.
The easiest solution is to hack up Lion so that it will connect with the old security protocol. Do a search for "lion dhx2" or something like that. Another option is to update your NAS to a version of Netatalk that includes support for DHX2. That is easier said than done. Netatlk isn't as "open" as other open source packages. -
Can no longer connect to my network and 'forget network' option has disappeared??
Can no longer connect to my network and "forget network" option has disappeared??? (Ipod touch 5th generation). This happened on both my children's ipods. We have reset network settings but it doesn't help.
JEM24 , your suggestion is included in:
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.

following upgrade to osx 10.8.2 on my mac mini I can no longer connect to icloud, I wouldn't mind so much but I have come to rely on th eicloud services to manage my work and home services, has any1 else experienced this and has any1 any solutions as this is messed up all of my work relations?
Had the same problem this morning after updating to 10.8.2. Mail was finding my dot-mac account as always, but System Preferences popped up and said my iCloud password was incorrect. Did the "forgot password" reset, but still had the same problem. Then I went to icloud.com in Safari, logged in with the new password, it worked no problem. So I went back to the icloud preference pane, signed out of icloud, answered yes to all the warnings about data being deleted from my mac, blah blah blah, then re-signed in to icloud. Everything worked. I did have to set up my icloud account in Mail again, which now lists the account mailbox as "iCloud", and not "mac.com" as it did before. But so far, everything is working (fingers crossed.)

XP can no longer connect to corporate VPN
Since I replaced my Linksys router with the AirPort Extreme, I can no longer negotiate a VPN connection with the corporate network. After password verification, the error I receive is "Unable to establish connection to server to validate security files."
The corporate Help desk tells me that "the most common problem with PPTP is negotiating a connection on TCP port 1723 and being able to send and receive data from the PPTP server using the GRE protocol (IP Protocol 47, 0x2F in Network Monitor)." I've opened port 1723 in AirPort Utility, but there's no change.
Is there some other adjustment I can make to the AirPort Extreme's settings? Do I need to enable GRE somehow? (I don't remember any special adjustments to the Linksys's settings.)
Thanks for any help you network experts can offer.Have you tried making this computer DMZ? Probably already have but just makin sure

Apple TV can no longer connect to network after upgrade.
I had heard that lots of people were affected with this problem with the software upgrade before this one so I deliberately waiting until this one came out before taking a chance. I was wrong.
After updating to 4.4. (3140) I can no longer connect to my network. It says there was a problem and gave the error messaged number: (5) in brackets.
I've had nothing but problems with both Apple TV's that I have owned, version 1 and this new version 2. I've a good signal from my router and I've used three different ones over the time I've had the two apple tvs.
Anyone got any ideas.
I can't connect the apple tv directly because they are too far apart in the house. I can only connect by wifi.
There is nothing wrong with my wifi because I'm connected to it fine though my imac, iphone and ipad and laptop, (not all at the same time)Ok, here's a solution, courtesy of our friends at AppleCare.
Unplug the router for 90 seconds.
I was running ATV2 with a Time Capsule. The TC thought the ATV was still connected using its former IP address so wouldn't let it reconnect with a new one.
Hope this works for anyone else with same problem.
