I have 5 devices authorized to my itunes account. 2 of them crashed but I am unable to authorize my new pc. From what I can see it looks like I may have to "deauthorize all" and then re authorize my current devices? Please help!

I have 5 devices authorized to my itunes account. 2 of them crashed long ago. Now that I have a new pc, I am unable to authorize it. I think from what I've read that I should "deauthorize all" and then go back and authorize my current 3 devices. Is this correct? I have tons of music and need to make sure I won't lose anything. I would sure appreciate the help! Thanks!!!

No that is not correct.
Devices do not count toward the 5. Authorization is only for computers, not iphone/ipod/ipad/Apple tv.
You do not authorize or deauthorize devices at all.
If you have reached the limit of 5 authorized COMPUTERS, then deauthorize all and the authorize the active COMPUTERS.

HT202213 how do i add another computer to my itunes account, system says i have five athourized devices and have to deauthourize one of them or all. if i deauthorize all, and then reauthorize the current devices, will i have to change my apple id and pass

how do i unauthorize all computers and reauthorize without fear of losing all data, personal, and account settings. Apple says I have five already as i count four and want to add another

No problem, just "deauthorize all" and then authorize the four individually. You will lose nothing - except the ability to "deauthorize all" for another year.
Don't change your Apple ID.

HT1420 I forgot to deauthorize two old computers, putting me over the limit of 5. Do I deauthorize all and then reauthorize the 4 I have left? Can I just deauthorize the old two somehow?

My 6th Generation Nano Shuts down my Thinkpad, I've tried uninstalling iTunes, turning off auto sync'ing and restoring my ipod, but every time I plug in my iPod, my whole pc goes blue and then reboots in safe mode. Please Help. Thanks.

Hello kidmango,
I am going to have to agree with planb77. Look into other drivers in your computer causing the issue, not just the nano's drivers.
It is possible that security software is the culprit. Use this:
iTunes: Troubleshooting security software issues
You may have to restore your computer to a previous point. From before the issue started. Contact computer manufacture or Windows for steps, or do a search with a search engine.
I would test the ipod on a known good computer to see if its the ipod is the issue. My gut says no. You can set a reservation at an Apple Retail Store. Apple.com/retail .You can also test a known good ipod on your computer.
Hope this helps.

If you have a backup of your information on your computer, I would suggest putting your phone into recovery mode, by holding down the home key and keeping it held down while you connect it by usb into your computer with itunes running. Keep the home button held down until it indicates recovery mode, and proceed with the restore.

I'm looking for a digital picture frame that is compatible with the iPhone 5 and 4S. I was looking at the Panasonic MW-20 but from what I can see I don't think it is. Any information would be great! Looking to buy a replacement frame for Christmas.

Hi - the new lightning connector on the iPhone 5 has an authentication chip so very few 3rd party manufacturers have come out with compatible devices - so I doubt that you will find a frame that works for both phones - however Apple has come out with 2 apapters - one is a cable and one is a direct 30 pin to lightning device - you would have to check out each frame to see if one of these might work - I looked at the Panasonic and it looks promising but I would check the return policy of anything that you buy in a case it doesn't work.

HT1420 How do I deauthorize ONE computer? All I see in account information is an option to deauthorize ALL computers. I see where it says to deauthorize them all and then re-authorize the ones still in use but I do not want to do that.

How do I deauthorize ONE computer? All I see in account information is the option to deauthorize ALL computers. I do not want to do this. I authorized an iPad at my previous employer (school for Autism) and want to leave that one authorized so the students will still have access to the apps and music. How can I just deauthorize the desktop (windows) that I no longer use?

I am in a similar situation. Hoping there has been an update to fix this problem by now.... I do NOT want to deauthorize all 5 computers, AT ALL. I only want to deauthorize 1 computer I do not have anymore! Because there is no way I'd ever want to deal with re authorizing the other 4, when I only need to deauthorize ONE.
Have they patched this problem yet?

HT1414 My iPhone5 got a problem of getting automatically switched off and then automatically switched on. First i can see my screen getting faded to pinkinsh sort of color and then showing vertical grid lines. any suggestions?

My iphone5 got a problem of getting switched off and on automatically. I can see my screen getting faded and then i can see the pink vertical lines before it switches off. After about 10 seconds it switches on again.

Hi sumit1310,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I'd start with these troubleshooting steps:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Regards,
Jeremy

My phone switches off after showing horizontal lines on the screen during the restore process and then shows the error 9 problem. please help i am so stressed.

Hello
My iphone 4S switches off after showing horizontal lines on the screen cutting through the apple logo during the restore process and then right after my iTunes shows the error 9 message, this happened 2 days ago when my phone just switched off unexpectedily and has been in this recovery mode since then. i have watched videos on Youtube and i have disabled Firewall before starting the process, i think i have done almost everything. please help anyone what do i do from here?
Just for interest sake i watched this video on youtube where this guy had the same problem but the difference is that he had it on an iPad. he opened the ipad up and did something on the ipad, it took less than a minute then his ipad worked.
I would appreciate it if someone would respond to this as fast as they can i am so stressed.
Regards
Lwando

Error 9 is usually a security software issue.

Since downloading latest software update for "numbers", Mac is now extremely slow at loading anything and has trouble playing videos (buffering). Also when put Mac to sleep, it wakes up by itself and then back to sleep, etc. Please help!

OK, thanks. First, open Disk Utility and the Repair Disk Permissions on your internal HD. You can find DU in Applications - Utilitie. After doing so please restart in Safe Mode, this is easily done by holding down the Shift Key on your keyboard when you hear the start up tone, you will see a progress bar appear letting yuo know it's starting in Safe Mode. Then reset the SMC and PRAM, instructions can be found by clicking iMac SMC and PRAM reset. Then retest.

Yikes, it looks like I may have a Trojan

In the middle of reading a story on my local newspaper's website last night, all of a sudden I get what appears to be a virus scan running under the name of Immunizator. I couldn't get it stopped. The only thing I could do was an "emergency" shutdown, restart & shut down were blocked by the darn thing. It was so late I really didn't want to deal with it, so I thought I would try this afternoon.
After doing a "google" for "immunizator", it does look like it's some type of Mac OsX Trojan. I have gone through, sending the app to the trash, & all of the .dmg junk. When I tried to empty the "trash", this stuff has the "empty" option blocked, so I did a "force empty" with Leopard Cache Cleaner which appeared to work. "Appeared" is the key word. When I use "finder" to look up the key word, "immunizator", the **** thing still opens up on my system. I'm now totally confused, lost, whatever as to what I need to do to get rid of this, ONCE & FOR ALL! Help is greatly appreciated.

Sorry, in a lot of ways I'm still a computer rookie, especially when it comes to Macs, so not sure what you mean by code tags. If it was an iTunes/iPod problem, I could probably do everything you need. Anway, for what's it worth, here it is. Thanks for taking a look.

How can I determine what computers are authorized on my iTunes account?

How can I determine what computers have been authorized on my iTunes account? I've reached my limit and now I'd like to deauthorize one computer.
Thanks,
Jerry

There is no list.
You can only deauthorize a single computer from that computer.
If you do not have access to the computers, then you would have to deauthorize all.

One of the computers that had our Itunes account on it crashed. We want to be able to add the account to our new computers and future computers but it shows that we have used 4 of 5 computers. Once we hit 5 are we out of luck or do they revolve?

This is not how it works.
You can only have a maximum of 5 computers Authorised at any one time.
If you no longer have, or access to, the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
Log in to iTunes, go to "view your account info" on the itunes store, deauthorise all five,
(Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months)
Then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time.

I have 5 devices authorized to my itunes account. 2 of them crashed but I am unable to authorize my new pc. From what I can see it looks like I may have to "deauthorize all" and then re authorize my current devices? Please help!
