I tunes is telling me I have reached the limit for home sharing authorizations

I tunes is telling me that I have maxed out the number of authorizations I'm allowed for home sharing.
How do I fix this?
I was just given a powerbook g4.
I need to authorize it.
Please assist me
I'm new to OS X
I spend most of my days working with Windows
Thanks,
Dwayne

HT1420 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.

I have create many free acounts for apple I have reached the limit of creating free acounts how can I delete that free acounts which I have made?

iOS devices can only create 3 free iCloud accounts, Get a new iOS device
why would you need more than 3 iCloud accounts for 1 device o.O

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,
Cristinel

About deauthorizing specific computers - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3809988 - Only, if you have physical access to the computer, otherwise you have to deauthorize all computers. De-authorize all computers button does not appear until you actually have 5 authorized and you can only do this once a year.

So, I have created my home sharing from my base computer to my laptop. On my lap top I see the tab for home sharing but it will not let me connect to my computer to share my music over. I have done everything iTunes has told me to but it still won't work.

I got some more info that may help.
I put a cd on my laptop, and was able to share it to my computer... So the problem is only from my computer to my laptop. I tried the firewall thing and it did not help. I read the rest of the trouble shooting page, and nothing else applies. iTunes is an execption and already was. I can not think of anything else being my problem. Do you think I should re-install iTunes or would that be a waste of time? At this point I am about to just call Apple for some help because I am getting to stressed over this.
Thanks

HT3819 Isn't the five computer limit for home sharing restrictive given the many devices one household may have?

Isn't the five computer limit for home sharing restrictive given the many devices one household may have?

It is only restrictive if you have more than 5 computers.
Otherwise it is not restrictive at all.
devices do not count, only computers.
You have more than 5 computers on the same home network.

I have run the gambit of Home Sharing Trouble Shooting and still have no shared folder on my Touch. WTH?

I'm at a loss. I have done everything on Apple's Troubleshooting list to try to access my laptops music files on my Touch, but there is still no Shared folder in the More section of my Touch's music. I've restarted and updated everything, unathorized and reauthorized both devices, toggled home sharing on/off, allowed the relevant ports to pass through my router's Firewall, and have turned off the Firewall on my laptop. Nothing. Nada. It is a 4th gen Touch. ***.
Does anybody have a hail mary of an idea to get this freaking home sharing to work on my Touch? Grrrr.

So. When i turn search for my library from my ipad the little grey boxes appear with the names of the tv shows on them before the artwork is loaded. but on the 5 shows im having an issue with they remain blank.
I then deleted thhe 5 shows from my library and then re added one ofthem only changing the info-name to aaaaaaa and changing it from a home movie to tv programe. This did work for a short while. the name appeared on my ipad with the correct tv show cover. then after about a minute the name went blank and the album cover changed to a cd in my music library.
I had a similar issue with some of my other tv shows. i.e. when i tapped american dad on my i pad, there was 2 little boxes that said no season. so i clicked on the top one and it was just the pilot. so i went in to itunes to investigate and in the metadata the artist had been filled in as (1). so i deleted the number from the artist pane and that sorted that issue out. i checked the rest of the tv programs and there were a few issues but using the same method that sorted them all out.
I then went back to sort out the other 5 shows out. i ticked every box in the metadata to clear everything and put the show name as show 1. and changed from home video to tv program. when i added the show again the same thing happened. Appears with no show name. then after a minute it changes the picture again. Ill keep posting updates until its fixed. cheers

I have used up my limit for home sharing.

I have multiple laptops that are no longer in use, i know some of them have iTunes (Home Sharing) on them but i dont know which ones do. I want to figure out which computers have home sharing so i can disable them. Is there any way to do that?

Hello Rahim.Alrai
The first thing is to make sure that you are using the same Apple ID on your HP laptop as the same one on the iMac and your brother’s computer. If all is good there, then check out the second article to troubleshoot the issue further.

How do I de-authorize a computer I don't have or doesn't work. I only have one computer and it is telling me I have authorized the limit of 5 computers already.

I am trying to authorize my computer and it is telling me I reached my limited of 5 computers. It says I need to de-authorize one of the five computers that is authorized. I don't have any other computers. Please help.

Take a look at this Apple support article; it may help:
One computer using multiple iTunes Store authorizations
If not, then there will be a button in your iTunes Store account information that will allow you to deauthorize all systems associated with that account. Log into your Store account and you should see it. You can then reauthorize the computer(s) you're using now. You can do this only once per year, though, so try my first suggestion before you use the "deuthorize all" option.
Regards.

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.

HT3819 do the computers for home sharing of iTunes have to be in the same building?

Can you use home share at three separate locations (cities) within the same network?

They would need to be on the same wifi network.

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.

My I tunes keep telling me you have a billing problem but I don't even buy stuff common!!!!

please how do I solve this problem my I tunes keep telling me I have a billing problem but I don't buy stuff bought a song one day and I paid for it done now I can't do envy thing ther is a billing problem I need this stuff sorted out now

Are you aware of any problem with a previous purchase ? If not then you should contact iTunes Support and see if they can tell you what it is (until it's sorted you won't be able to download anything from the store) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If you go into the payment details section on your account then does it say anything about your card being declined or not accepter or if the security code needs re-entering ?

I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.
