I tried to authorize a new computer with Windows 8 for my iTunes acct. Per iTunes Help, there is an "authorize computer" prompt in the menu selection on iTunes store website. I can find no such listing. I have two computers linked to my account so I know that adding another one would be ok. Any suggestions?

Press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer.

HT1386 It says to click the device button in the upper right corner....there isn't one. Itunes doesn't even recognize my devices since I did the most current update. I have two iPhones, thru different carriers, and neither one works now!

I did the latest iTunes update...I have 2 iPhones--each thru a different provider. Now, I can't sync to download any music from iTunes. iTunes doesn't recognize either device now. I went thru diagnostics, didn't work. I tried the suggestions from Apple...it says to click the device button in upper right corner....there isn't one. When I connected each for the first time after update, it "installed device drivers". I have checked for further updates on iTunes--nothing. I made sure there were no updates listed for iPhones...all up to date. I get an error code and from what I have looked through in forums etc, it seems like a lot of people are getting it...0ex000084 I believe it was. Windows opens to download photos but that's it. Devices are not listed at all. I have tried all 3 USB ports in computer too. I have never had any problems before this update!! HELP! I just bought $15 worth of music I can't download to phones now!

On the left hand side of iTunes do you have the sidebar up left hand side?
If this is not up then try this, with iTunes open press "Control" and "s" together and it should bring it up. From the sidebar it should show an option devices with the iPhones underneath it.

Hello,
the way is written there Activation & deactivation help >>> (see there only to understand the procedure) Common activation problems >>> "Activation limit reached for [product]. This serial number has already been activated on 2 computers." "Maximum activations exceeded."
>>> How to deactivate or sign out >>> A single license for Adobe software lets you install the applications on two computers—for example, at home and at the office. However, you can use the software on only one computer at any given time.
If you want to install the software on a third computer, deactivate the software on the computer on which you will no longer use the software. Then, activate the software on the new computer.

Deauthorize all then authorize the active computers.

HT204053 I originally had an Apple ID when I got my iPad. This is the one associated with the app store; however, I now have two. The second one comes up when I try to log into the app store and it will not log me in. How do I get the original one to s

I'm beginning to feel totally frustrated and functionally illiterate. I've been trying to log into the app store. The apple Id that shows is not the original one I set up when I got my iPad. When I enter the password for the Id that shows, I get the message that I cannot log in. Is there a way for me to change which id shows up?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap the Apple ID and sign out. Tap again and sign in with the Apple ID of your choosing.

Computer with Windows Vista SP 2 and Desktop 5.0.0.11 does not recognize the BB via USB

Hi all,
I have had an 8100 for some time. Recently the desktop will communicate to the 8100 via bluetooth but Windows does not recognize the 8100 when I plug it in via USB. I have tried downloading and reinstall the desktop with no luck.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Here is the list of troubleshooting KB's...hopefully something will be useful:

Also, check that you are using only root USB ports...no hubs (sometimes the front-side ports are hubs...use a rear USB port). And make sure to try disabling USB power management in your system configuration (Device Manager).
Apologies in advance if this is redundant -- there's no way to be sure if you've already seen and tried these.
Hopefully something there is helpful!

HT1420 I have a newer version of iTunes and the Store Menu doesn't have anything about authorizing, etiher at the top of the bottom of the screen. Help!

My version of iTunes on my new Mac Mini does not have any menu at the Store button other than some items refering to iPhones or Ipads, and then what you want to search for, such as books, etc. Where do you find the "authorize" info on this newer version of iTunes? Nothing copied and pasted in the previous helps looks anything like my iTunes store. I have an iPod full of music from my iTunes on my previous computer that I'd like to have on this one.

You are looking at the Store menu at the top of iTunes e.g.
On iTunes 11 you can also enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S so that it looks more like previous versions.

HT1420 Only have 2 computers authorized and it will not let me authorize a 3rd account

can not added 3rd account it tells me i have 5 computers and i do not

If you log in to your iTunes account, then view your account details you can click a link that says "Deauthorize all". Then go to each computer, log in to iTunes and authorize that machine.

I am brand new to pages and got it when I got Mavericks. The manual says there should be an "auto correction" tab in the preferences. I don't have one. is that right?

What I am really looking to do is to turn the auto capitilization on, like it is on my iPad and iPhone. I tried the system prferences too and couldnt find anything.

I find the New Pages to be less useful, less powerful than the Pages 09 version. Auto Correction was a Big Deal in that older program. It's only flaw was that it didn't function when writing in other word-processors from Apple. For instance, if you had a boatload of entries in Pages, then went into iBooks Author, none of your carefully prepared list of auto-correct entries were available.
Apple could have done an update in a way that allowed you to blend lists, use one or the other, or start anew, according to your preference, but no, they simply blew all your hard work away and forced you to start over.
Now you can also no longer start sentences with an automatic capital letter.
This earns the Pages undevelopment team a well-deserved "*&^%$#@!!"

I have two computers, if I delete songs from one computer will it also delete on the Cloud and on the other computer?

I have a macbook air for travel. My itunes library is getting too big for this computer. If I delete music on this computer, how can I be sure it won't also delete the same files on the Cloud and on my computer at home?

Use Windows Migration Assistant to copy all your user date to the MacBook.
See this -> About Windows Migration Assistant.
Using Home Sharing will transdfer the media files, but not the entire library (ratings, date added, artwork, playlists, etc.)
And as diesel vdub metioned, backup BEFORE you do anything.

HT1420 it says i have 5 computers authorized cant i just delete one

it only lets me melete all 5

If you've got 5 computers authorised for the account in question, and you need to free up authorizations, I'd do a "Deauthorize All" from one of the computers you have access to, and then reauthorize the computers you have access to.
For instructions, see the following document:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization

I have downloaded the most recent itunes on my new computer with windows 8 but a message pops up saying "the itunes library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this file. How do I fix?

I have downloaded the most recent itunes on my new computer with windows 8 but when I attempt to get in I get this message "The itunes library.itl file is locked, ona locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file." How do i fix this?

Repair iTunes Security Permissions
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Securitytab and click Advanced. Use the Change Permissions... button grant to your account (or the Users group) and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to Replace permissions entries... which will repair permissions throughout the library. When complete switch to the General tab, click in the Read-only check box to clear it, then click Apply.
If you don't have the option to change the permissions then use the Owner tab and Edit... button to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges. Tick the option to Replace owner on subcontainers and objects.
Repeat with the media folder if it isn't stored inside the main iTunes folder.
If you've brought over the library from another computer you may also want to remove any "mystery" identities (S<string of dashes & digts>) that have come over from the old computer...
The images above are from Windows 7. Hopefully the system isn't too different in Windows 8.

Itunes says that I have five computers authorized, but I have only done this for one computer. I want to authorize a new computer but it won't let me. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

I have one computer authorized to connect with my ipad and ipod. I would like to authorize my husband's computer to enable home sharing, but keep getting the error that I have five computers authorized. Not sure how this is possible. I'm tempted to try to deauthorize all computers and start over, but fear that this may create new problems. Any ideas on where the issue is?
thanks -
Deb

Hi Deb,
Deauthorizing all is definitely the way to go. You will just need to authorize your computer again after, as well as your husband's.
Here's some additional information on deauthorizing all:

I hope this helps!

Hey, I'm trying to authorize my new laptop with my iTunes account. How would I go about doing this?

Hey, I'm trying to authorize my new laptop with my iTunes account. How would I go about doing this?

Hi Michael1296,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are the steps to authorize a computer in iTunes:
How do I authorize a computer?
Open iTunes on the computer you want to authorize.
Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
You might need to show the menu barto see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
If your Apple ID uses an expired MobileMe account, you can still use it to authorize your computer.
If iTunes asks you to authorize your computer again, it won't use a new authorization. iTunes uses the same authorization for the same computer.
You can find these steps and more information at this link:
Authorize your computer using iTunes
All the best,
Jeremy

I have two laptops authorized with the same itunes account. One computer is not working, so I want to know how I can access my playlists, etc. that are one that computer on the working one?

I have two laptops authorized with the same itunes account. However, there are different playlists on each laptop. One laptop is messed up and I cannot get on the internet with it, so I was able to deauthorize it from the itunes account. I thought that would bring the playlists over to the other computer, but it did not. Is there a way to do it?
