I NEED HELP WITH DEAUTHORIZING COMPUTERS IN ITUNES...PLEASE

I have 5 authorized computers on my itunes acct and i am only using two of those. i have no idea where the other 3 computers are now. if i deauthorize all my computers will i lose all my music and info or will it return when i re authorize the good 2 pcs i want to use? and will this make any changes to my iphone or itouch?

Authorization and Deauthorization
See iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization for Macs.
See How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld for Windows.
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.
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.

Need help with videos!!! Please

i need help! i have a 30G ipod video and my videos are being weird. They used to play on my ipod but now there is no picture or sound. it plays on itunes too so i dont understand. Also, my purchased music plays on itunes but skips past them on my ipod-they used to play on my ipod. PLEASE help me!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
For Videos:
So what are they doing? Are the videos showing up under "Videos" on the iPod? What happens when you try to play them? Have you tried these?
Resetting iPod
Restore the iPod
For Purchased Music Skipping:
Have you played the songs in iTunes for a few seconds? This will authorize them. Now sync your iPod. Do they play?
If not, make sure everything is up to date on your computer and iPod..
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
If that doesn't work, in iTunes, go to advanced-->deauthorize computer. Now play the songs in iTunes. It will ask for your account information (from the iTunes Music Store). Enter that. Now play a few purchased songs for a few seconds. Sync your iPod. Do the songs work now?
If they don't, try this...
Deauthorize the computer. (Go to advanced-->deauthorize computer in iTunes)
Create a new user in the system. (Start-->control panel-->user accounts-->create a new account)
Download the free song of the week in the new user account. (First, log out of the current user and log in to the new user account. Then open iTunes and download the free song)
Play the song in that username to authorize it.
Restore the iPod in the New User account, sync just the Free song of the Week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it plays fine on the iPod when syncing with this user name (after you followed the above instructions), it would indicate a bad iTunes Library File. Post back for instructions on how to fix that.
Now, if it still won't work (you followed the above instructions with the new user account) and the iPod still won't play the songs, then post back.

Help with deauthorizing computers.

I have 5 authorized computers on my account however, I only know of 1 that I am presently using. If I deauthorize ALL my computers and reauthorize the one that I am using do I have to reload everything back onto the account? Please help....thank you

No content is lost when you deauthorize. You just may not be able to play some of it (video content, old pre-iTunes-Plus music, etc) until you reauthorize the computer that it is on.

Need help with moving files into Itunes and syncing

Please help.
I have an external hard drive with my music on it. I created a new playlist in Itunes and did a drag and drop from my external hard drive into my newly created playlist.
Now that I go back and play the items I brought over, I get an error that says "original files not found" and it won't play and therefore does not seem to be syncing to the Ipod to be able to play.
Can you please give me guidance as to what I can do without recreating all the work I had already done?
Thanks,
Michelle

Is the external drive connected?
Has the drive letter possibly changed due to being disconnected and reconnected?

Need help with restore problem for itunes v 7.6.2

I just installed itunes version 7.6.2 and I plugged my ipod into my computer and hit the restore button so i can erase and redo my ipod. Then when I plugged my ipod into my computer my ipod is stuck on the restore mode and i can't see the information bar or the music bar under my ipod name. I can only upload music and eject my ipod. PLEASE HELP!!! this is so fustrating.
this is what the screen looks like when i click on my ipod or plug it in.

Minimize your iTunes, right click on your Desktop, click Properties, click the Settings tab. Increase your screen resolution to 1024 x 768. If it looks OK, click OK. You should be able to continue with your iPod.

Need help with adding video to itunes

i have an ipad 1 that i put 2 videos on to teach CPR. got a new ipad. not only will i tunes not transfer the video it will not let me add it to the library to put it onto the new ipad. and help would be appreciated

Is iTunes crashing when you try to add video or is it just not adding them? If it's crashing I found that selecting the video in a folder and then right clicking (PC) then selecting Open With, iTunes, then iTunes will start to play the video but also adds it to the Movies section. I've been having problems with iTunes crashing and found this to be the easiest way around it, obviously not the best choice if you have lots of videos.

so any help....
i will add here my idea as to how what think i must do......

and if it does what will i have to make sure i do on the new install of my itunes, to get my playlists back as they are now....
i want to avoid thehorror stories i have read were after such reinstalls soon as there ipod plugged in again the blank new itunes updates ipod to blank....(how do i avoid this), and how do i get my new clean itunes to be like it was/is now....

toz,
We love seeing pro-active thinking here at the Discussions! You're off to a great start!
And you've pretty well got the right idea of what has to be done. A few points to make things go a bit smoother, though.
..i was going to track down all my mp3's on my hard drive, (about 3 gigs worth), and then just copy them over to my .."my music.itunes", folder, and then when i have reinstalled my pc, just copy that back to the "my music" folder....will this work.
It probably would work but fortunately there's an easier method. Use the iTunes Advanced menu > Consolidate Library... command and iTunes will automatically find all the songs in your music library that are not currently in the iTunes Music folder, make copies of them and then put them into that folder (along with any songs that are already there).
With that out of the way, there are two main ways to make the back-up copies of your library. The one this article in the Apple Knowledge Base describes in detail is burning CD's/DVD's. That will take care of the music itself but if, as you say, you want to keep your playlists (and the information they depend on) intact, you will also have to make back-up copies of the iTunes Library files . That link tells you where to find them.
The other approach to creating your back-up is to use any spare hard drive you happen to have available and simply copy the iTunes folder (which happens to contain the iTunes Music folder and the iTunes Library files). Some of our Discussions regulars are quite fond of this method .
Once you've made your decision and successfully backed up your Library, restoring the music in iTunes onto your newly-formatted hard drive will be fairly straightforward but it will depend on which method you select. So post back and let us know how you're going to proceed as well as any other questions you may have.

Need help with syncing ipod; managing iTunes from new laptop

Need help with Cloud/External HD iTunes Setup

Hello everyone! For a while now I've had an ideal iTunes setup in mind, but haven't put together all the pieces to make it work......
Here's my situation: I'm an avid Classical music listener and have a large colection of music on an External HD (about 100GB or so). Some of these files were ripped from CDs, or were originally bought on iTunes on a previous computer, some time ago.
With my new Macbook Pro, I want to save as much internal HD space as possible. I would like these files on my iTunes, just not copied to a folder on my computer. I also want to access this large collection and listen to them on my iPhone (only 16GB). I've heard of iTunes Match, but still don't know if the music is indeed streamed (like Google Play Music) or has to be downloaded to be played. I simply do not want any files to be stored on my Mac or Iphone - a complete Cloud-based system.
How should I do this?
Thanks,
Devin B

I hadnt tried looking there! Found a serial number on the device and the original box. It is 10 characters, but the input field is 20. Tried it with trailing and leading zeros - no luck. Will have to wait to see if Freecom responds - or maybe forget it and try if I can use the disk in any case.
Thanks for response.

Need help with video uploading to itunes & ipod

hi,
i'm new to ipod video. i have 1 music video which i just converted from wmv format > mpeg-4 format. when i dragged the mpeg-4 format to itunes, nothing happened. am i doing this incorrectly? how is the uploading work exactly? i read some of the previous posts but i'm still clueless.
plz give me step by step instruction. thx in advance.

dude. some time itunes just doesnt support drag and drop techniques . just try the simple copy and paste(ctrl(c+v)). if that file is gonna be played on the ipod u get a small tab box in the itunes that the file which u r copying is being processed .
even if this technique doesnt work , then thats a faulty format . u can try another video converter . say videora or Aplus video converter . u will find them in www.download.com

I need help with my ipods error 21 please help

my ipod doesn't like to restore on my computer its a windows 7 and i have the latest itunes can somebody please help me the i

Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Need help with date and time calculations please

Hello there.. Im stuck, and im hoping someone can help..
Working on a list to manage and track PTO. User completes PTO request form,
Fields
Name
Start Date (with time)
End Date (with time)
Total Number of Days/hours requested: (calculation)
Full Day: (Yes/No)
ok business need
user has the ability to request a certain number of hours as opposed to a full day.
After searching around on google. I found this calculation to help me figure out how many BUSINESS days being requested.
=IF(ISERROR(DATEDIF([Start Date],[End Date],"d")),"",(DATEDIF([Start Date],[End Date],"d"))+1-INT(DATEDIF([Start Date],[End Date],"d")/7)*2-IF((WEEKDAY([End Date])-WEEKDAY([Start Date]))<0,2,0)-IF(OR(AND(WEEKDAY([End
Date])=7,WEEKDAY([Start Date])=7),AND(WEEKDAY([End Date])=1,WEEKDAY([Start Date])=1)),1,0)-IF(AND(WEEKDAY([Start Date])=1,(WEEKDAY([End Date])-WEEKDAY([Start Date]))>0),1,0)-IF(AND(NOT(WEEKDAY([Start Date])=7),WEEKDAY([End Date])=7),1,0))
This works great as long as its a [Full Day]="YES", displays results in column labeled Number of days
now if [Full Day]="No", displays results in column labeled Number of Hours
BUT this is my issue (well part of it) it calcuate the correct number of hours.. but puts a "1" in "Number of Days" why.. dates have not changed.. I think Its something with the above calculation but I could be way off.
the end result is I need number of days to concat with number of hours
i.e 1 full day 4 hours 1.4
0 full day 5 hours 0.5
1 full day 0 hours 1.0
so that the total can be deducted via workflow.. from the remaining balance in a tracker. (seperate list)
Any angels out there??

Posnera-
Try changing time zones and see if the travel itinerary times change.
