I'm trying to authorize my computer but it won't work, I'm signed in and I have only three computers logged in, any help?

How do i authorize my computer when its already signed in?!

Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
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.

    Yes. It will reset your Home screen layouts.
    If the App store is hidden by Restrictions, it will not be enabled by Reset Home screen layout.
    You need to re-enable Installing Apps in General > Restrictions.

    I forgot my password and am trying to reset my ipod, but it won't work.It says that my ipod is in recovery mode and that I must restore it. I click ok, and then click on restore and update. Then it says connecting ipod software update server and a screen pops up with ipod software update on the top and iOS 5.1. It lists a bunch of stuff this update contains and on the bottom it says next, which I click and nothing happens, it just goes back to the ipod restore page. Help, what am I doing wrong?

    This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
    Update to the latest version of iTunes. Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) users may need to download iTunes 10.6.3.
    Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
    Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
    Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

  • Hi, I tried to create a slideshow that contain more than 500 photos. Now, trying to open / execute / select the slideshow, iPhoto hangs with the spinning coloured wheel and I have only to force the deletion from System Preference. Any suggestion?

    Hi, I tried to create a slideshow that contain more than 500 photos. Now, trying to open / execute / select the slideshow, iPhoto hangs with the spinning coloured wheel and I have only to force the deletion from System Preference. I already tried to rebuild the iPhoto Library (all the possible options) and tried to update teh version from 9.4.3 to 9.5 but the problem still persists: is there a way to delete this slideshow without selecting it ? How can I solve the problem, please?
    Kind Regards

    Can you restore your iPhoto Library from a backup version, that was created before you added the slideshow?
    If not, have you tried to rebuild the slideshow with iPhoto Library Manager?
    As described by Terence Devlin here:  Re: iphoto library was created with an unrelased version of iphoto please quit and ugrade library by opening it in iphoto 2 or iphoto 4

    I am trying to charge my iPad but it won't charge & keeps turning itself on and off

    You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • HT1420 I'm trying to authorize my computer but don't see the link that I can click after putting in my user name and password.

    Where is the link to authorize my computer for itunes?  I used to use my home computer but am away from home and want to use my laptop.

    It's on the Store drop-down menu at the top of iTunes - if you are using a PC with iTunes 11 on then control-B should get the menus to show (by default they are hidden on iTunes 11 onPCs)
    e.g. (image is from a Mac, but it should be similar on a PC)

  • Theres something wrong with my mac! Help! It said that it had a virus and then the browser wouldn't open! I tried to restart my computer but it wouldn't work, so I held down the power buttron. The startup screen is there but nothing else happens'!

    So yesterday I went to do some work on my laptop.
    My laptop is from about 2005-2006 so it's pretty knackered. Everything was going just fine but then my Avast! Security software notified me saying "VIRUS DETECTED" so I tried to go on the avast application but it wouldn't open. I tried to open my browser but the icon just bounced and stopped and them nothing happened after! So i clicked on the apple sign and clicked shut down.  Then the system wouldn't shut down. So i held down the power button causing it to shut itself off. The next day I opened the laptop and turned it on. It made the healthy turning on noise and I can hear the fan working perfectly fine. The startup screen is showing. This is an all grey screen with the Apple logo in the middle and a spinning circle in the middle, the circle has been spinning for over 10 minutes now and I do not know what to do. I use this laptop for literally everything and I cannot possibly afford to replace this . I am hearbroken as I know that there is a possibility that I will no longer be able to use this laptop.
    I would be extremely grateful if someone helped me as I am truly devastated. :(

  • Trying to create a calculation but it won't work...

    Hi!
    I'm using Adobe Acrobat 8.1 for Mac.
    I've created a form and I need to enter what I assume to be a custom calculation script.
    The field named Text49 needs to be the result of the field named Text46 (manually entered value) multiplied by .062
    This is what I've entered in the custom calculation box in Text49:
    var v1 = 1 * this.getField("Text46").value;
    event.value = v1 * .062;
    But it's not working correctly. It'll work the first time when I manually enter a value in Text46 however when I change the manually entered value in Text46, the result in Text49 doesn't change.
    Also, Text49 doesn't show up in the box for setting calculation order.
    I'm sure it's something with my formula but I can't figure it out and don't know where to look.
    Can someone please help?
    Thank you so much!
    Diane

    I must have messed something up because now it's not working at all. :(
    In response to your question, no there's no script on Text50 but there is custom validation on both Text49 and Text50.
    The validation script for Text49 is:
    var f = this.getField("Text49");
    f.hidden = (event.value < .0000001);
    The validation script for Text50 is:
    var f = this.getField("Text50");
    f.hidden = (event.value < .0000001);
    I've tried it with and without the validation script and it's not working either way.
    I've tried it with Text49 and Text50 as "hidden" and "visible" and it's not working either way.
    The one constant I'm finding is that even when I do get the calculations to work, when I save and close the form and re-open it the calculations have quit working.
    I'm at a loss... :(
    Any ideas?
    Thank you!

  • I rented a movie on my apple computer but it won't play on my apple tv.  i have never had a problem until a month ago.  Home sharing is on, and internet is fine.

    I rented a movie on my apple computer but it wont play on my apple tv.  never had problems till 1 month ago.  internet fine, home sharing on.

    The movie must fully download to iTunes.
    If you have an AppleTV1, have you downloaded a 1080p movie rental as it can't handle that, in which case alter your Preferences for downloads to 720p, contact iTunes Store support and see if they can re-enable the download or refund so you can rent again at 720p.
    If you have black model ATV2 or ATV3, then I assume you are looking under the Computers icon where a new Rentals row appears in order to play rentals downloaded to iTunes.

  • I tryed to download Paid app but it won't work.

    I tried to download Toca Town made by Toca Boca (paid app). Every time I try to buy it, it says cannot download and to contact apple at the website. What should I do?

    You can try:
    http://appleid.apple.com
    and select manage account, verify that your payment details are appropriate.
    But that may not correct what the problem actually is and since the only option they present to you is to contact them, that is quite possibly the only option that will work.
