I have reached the limit on iTunes authorisations because I have had 3 new logic boards under Applecare

I have a had 3 new logic boards for my 2009 Mac Book under Apple care but immediately following each repair, when I run iTunes I have to re-authorise my computer for Itunes.  I am now at my limit - can this number be reset to zero?
thanks
Dave

Yes, if you select "Deauthorize all", all your computers and former logic boards will be deauthorized. You can only "deauthorize all" once a year.
Once deauthorized, authorize each computer again.

  • Error: You have reached the limit of active temporary sites for this account.

    When publishing a new site from Muse I got the following message:
    Error:
    Could not create Adobe Business Catalyst temporary site. You have reached the limit of active temporary sites for this account.
    I have only 17 active sites, 5 of them are launched live. All the other 83 of 100 websites limit I have already deleted in Business Catalyst and their status is shown as inactive, there is no way for me to get back to managing these 83 thus it kind of suggests that they are deleted. I need to create new sites under new names quite often to demonstrate work in progress or various options of design for the same website and I don't have any intention to use any of the 83 sites anymore. With the current error I can't work and I can't find a way to completely remove all 83 inactive sites inside Business Catalyst or Creative Cloud (I tried and searched and still nothing). So it's a huge problem for me.
    Now, how can I solve this issue?

    Hello,
    Can you open up a support ticket so that a support engineer can look at this problem? Based on this short description you should not have any problems creating new temporary sites (not live sites).
    Thank you,

  • I am trying to back up my Iphone 4s, I have reached my limit???

    I am trying to back up my Iphone 4s, and this is my 5th laptop that I have owned since the first generation of Ipnone came out. it looks like that I have reached the max registrations, what should I do?

    If you need to autorize a computer and you have reached the limit if 5, then deauthorize all.  You can then authorize the active computers.

  • Help! I have had my iMac G5 fitted with new Logic Board but it doesn't work

    Help! I have had my iMac G5 fitted with new Logic Board but it doesn't work
    I have just had my iMac G5 First Gen 1.8Ghz fitted with a new Logic Board under the Apple Repair Extension Programme for iMacs.
    I got the iMac home from the repairers and switched it on and everything was working fine for about 2 hours and then all of a sudden the Error Page came up on the Screen (with a big On/Off Switch Logo) and it said I had to shut down.
    So I shut it down waited a few minutes and then tried to re-boot it but nothing happened. All that happended was the Power Light in the Right hand corner came on..but nothing else....
    Help! Any ideas what to do please?

    If you have an external firewire drive (it has to be firewire, USB won't boot on a Rev A), plug it in to the firewire port and turn it on, then boot your iMac and see if it shows on the screen.
    Have you tried to hit the eject (up arrow, the last button on the top row of the keyboard) button when you boot, perhaps the repairers left a disc in the drive? Then try and put your install disc in.

  • My main pc died. How do I get my complete library on the replacement pc.  Apple says I have authorized the limit of five. I only recall doing so on the dead pc and an IPAD.  My IPAD suggests that I am on the cloud but I don't recall setting that up.

    My old PC with my Itunes library died.  I have attempted to authorize it's replacement but the store tells me I have reached my limit of five.  I don't recall doing this so my guess is that and old dead Ipod as well as old dead PC's could be deauthorized ONLY and I would be good.  As I read the Itunes store options it appears I can only deauthorize all five.  I am afraid I will loose all my library; I'm not shure I have an up to date backup with Itunes I am reluctant to take that step.
    I can take the hard drive out of the dead computer and fix so that I can restore from an up to date library.  I have never done this before and am scared I might erase my best option.  I also have a major portion of my library on a NANO which replaced the dead IPOD which maybe can be used to restore the replacement PC.
    I don't recall setting up Icloud and vaguely recall backing up to itunes but can't confirm that my library is completely backed up.  Itunes tells me that my Ipad and a PC are authorized for Icloud but I don't recall setting that up.  I can assume that the PC that is Icloud authorized is the one that died.  If I have to deauthorize all, will I errase my library?  If not will I have to restore my nano and Ipad and the replacement PC? How can I confirm that my library is backed up/in the cloud?
    My Ipad shows cloud icons along whith what appears to be my library.
    Given this info, what is my best option to restore my complete former Itunes library to my PC. 
    Thank

    Many thanks lllaass,
    The Touch Copy third party software for PC's is the way to go it seems and although the demo is free, if you have over 100 songs then it costs £15 to buy the software which seems not a lot to pay for peace of mind. and restoring your iTunes library back to how it was.

  • The number of display columns in the report reached the limit. Help!!!

    Hi,
    i have set up a small test case on apex.oracle.com and I receive the same error if I use download format.
    I have a table
    test_blob (id number, name varchar2(10), blobcont blob)
    If I create IR like
      select
        id,
        name,
        blobcont
      from test_bloband then I define download format I hit the error.
    If you want this to work you have to change your query to
      select
        id,
        name,
        dbms_lob.getlength(blobcont) blobcont
      from test_blobAnd then again define download format for blob on blobcont column.

  • The number of display columns in the report reached the limit" Interactive Report

    I get the error message of "The number of display columns in the report reached the limit" when trying to display less than 100 (100 is limit) columns when an aggregate has been created.   This does not happen when an aggregate has not been added to the IR report.  It seems to happen because I have a control break on as well.  When I turn off the control break it works but is not the result that we want.  Interesting enough, if I filter the results down to 500 rows it works just fine.  Does oracle treat aggregates as columns!?  This is a really odd issue that I really need to clear up.

  • HT1420 How do I deauthorize the use of itunes on computers which have crashed and are no longer accessible??

    How do I deauthorize the use of itunes on computers which have crashed and are not accessible??

    Individual computers can only be deauthorised directly on them, but if you have 2 or more computers authorised then you can log into your account on your computer's iTunes (Store > View My Account) and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then authorise/reauthorise the computers that you still have and need : authorising and deauthorising.
    Deauthorising a computer doesn't remove any content from it, it just means that you can't use iTunes content on it until you reauthorise it.

    One of my computers had to re install and now I need to authorize my new computer but keep telling me I reached the limit for 5 computers. What do I do?

    I have the same problem. What load of BS.
    I feel so sorry for people that switched over from PC to mac because they were misled to believe that 'macs just work'.
    Imagine someone without a degree in patience and computer engineering ever being able to work this problem out.
    All I want to do it sync my iPad with some movies that I bought. NOPE I have apparently authorized more than 5 computers which is ridiculous because I own.... 1 computer. LOL.
    Really bored with Apple's paranoia, ego and illogical control.

    Music purchased on ipad wont play on computer. I get a message which says that the computer is not authorised to play the track but when I enter the password I get the message saying that the computer is already authorised. I have the opposite problem transfering some but not all music from computer to ipad.  Can anyone help?

    Interesting. Maybe it is more of a DRM issue than an Apple ID ownership issue. There is actually an iTunes Support section here on the discussion boards. If you wish to continue troubleshooting, you might post your question over there and refer to this discussion thread. You can also contact someone in Apple iTunes Support.

  • Trying to change computers, says I have reached activation limit

    I'm tying to reinstall Creative Suite CS5 on new computer, but it says I have too many installs. I have deactivated one install, it is definitely deactivated, but the activation window on the new laptop still says I have reached the activation limit.  How do I get Adobe to fix this? DN

    Getting the link to the chat screen is a pain.  You have to ask the right question in the "we need a few details" process.  Choose the option mentioning serial numbers, if you get to that point, and the chat link appears.  My sequence was Creative Suite; Downloading, installing and setting up; Serial numbers and redemption codes (you can edit whatever you entered) then click the "Still need help" link.  That sequence gives me both the forum link and the chatline link. It seems other sequences only give the forum link, which is frustrating.  (I can understand why Adobe does it this way, to avoid very simple questions that the forum is the most efficient way to find the answer.)
