  • 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.

  • HT1420 I have tried on many occasions to authorize my computer, it just won't let me!!!! So I can't get my apps that I have purchased onto my iPhone :-(

    I have tried on many occasions to authorize my computer, it just won't let me!!!! So I can't get my apps that I have purchased onto my iPhone :-(

    No error message, when I go to authorize and I click on it, nothing happens. Tried dozens of times. Grrrrr. Also when I try to get an app from the iPhone. It tells me I have put the wrong I'd or password. This is wrong. I have successfully installed a few apps in iTunes. But can't get the phone to sync the apps, it syncs everything else. So I presume it's this authorization that is stopping me, can't think what else it could be. Unless I have a dodgy iPhone. It's only 3 wks old :-(

  • I am trying to active my iPhone but it won't let me because i don't have a sims card

    I am trying to active my iPhone but it won't let me because i don't have a sims card. I just want to use my old iPhone 4 as an iPod.

    You could ask a friend that has a SIM-Card or stop by an Apple Store. They may be able to help you. The card is only required for a few seconds, until the device is activated. Then you can take it out and give it back.

    Is the second iPod also a shuffle, or is it a "big" iPod?  If they are both shuffles, what are the two shuffle types?  This document shows the four types of shuffles.

  • 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)

  • 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!
