If I purchase Lion on one of my computers and then reauthorize that same computer later, does that mean Lion is disabled?
If I purchase Lion on one of my computers and then reauthorize that same computer later, does that mean Lion is disabled? The License Agreement seems to indicate that you can actually install it on more than 5 computers under your ownership or control. However, you can only authorize 5 computers at a time. I'm just wondering if you have Lion on a computer, then deauthorize that computer....no more operating system on that computer?
THERE IS NO AUTHORIZATION.
If you used your Apple ID to log into the Mac App Store on 4,332,332 computers it would work. You could technically do that, and none of them would ever be de-authorized.
I would posit that it's likely you would be breaking the license terms in that case, becuase it's unlikely you would OWN that many machines, but technically there is no "authorization" of any sort that would stop you from doing this.
It's OK if you "don't know." I DO KNOW the answer to this question. And I've given it to you.

What happened to the recently purchased icon on the left side of the playlist? I used to could purchase songs from one of my computers and then put them on the second authorized computer by selecting recently purchased. Is there another way?
Well in order to keep all the ratings, playcounts ect ect of songs in iTUnes, place the songs back into there original folders/places on the "Old harddrive" by cutting (Not copying) them from the new Harddrive. Now iTunes should report the songs has being there and have ! marks beside the imported folder from your external Harddrive.
Now you will delet the dead/broken links (Or missing music from the new drive)in iTUnes. Goto Ottos site for a script that will remove dead links and other things here
Just download, unzip, and run the program.
http://ottodestruct.com/iTunes/QuickScripts.zip
Now with everything in place and the dead links removed you will either consolidate the library or set it to copy to another Folder. If you consolidate it moves ALL your music listed in iTunes to the "iTunes Music" folder and can not be reversed. If you set it to copy, it will just copy music from its current folder to the iTunes music folder. You will have to pick the best option for you but consolidating will work best if your trying to free up space. To consolidate goto "Advanced" and select "Consolidate Library". To copy goto Edit>preferenses>Advanced tab>general sub tab and check "Copy FIles to iTunes music Folder when added to library". THis location is also where you will change the location of iTunes Music folder from your old harddrive to the new one by hitting the "Change" button above the reset button -
I went into itunes on one of my computers and when I went to sync up the songs I had purchased on another computer, both of which are authorized on the same account, it would not detect that I had purchased the song, even though I have a receipt saying that I purchased the songs days ago.
Hello Vulspyr
Look in the iTunes Store and there will a link that says Purchased, once there you should be able see all purchased made under the Apple ID that you are signed in with and there should be a cloud icon to download those tracks. The article below will assist you further.

I downloaded a movie on one of my computers, and yet I can't see it in my purchases and I can't download it on any other devices. Any suggestions?
Films will only show in your library if you've downloaded it on that computer or copied it from another computer. You checked the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the store homepage to see if it shows there for redownloading on that computer
If it doesn't show there then you can copy it over from the computer that you downloaded it on e.g. via home sharing : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 (that page refers specifally to music, but it works for other content types as well).
Or you can right-clidck (control-click on a Mac) on the film in the iTunes library that it is on and select 'show in explorer' ('show in finder') and copy it to, for example, a flashdrive, and use that to copy it onto the other computer's iTunes library (File > Add To Library) -
Hi,
I have two itunes accounts. One account has all my store purchases and is associated with my school email address, which I will eventually lose. The OTHER account has NO purchases on it, and is associated with my gmail account.
What I want is for my itunes account with all my purchases, to be associated my permanent gmail email account. However, if I try to change it, Apple of course tells me that the particular email address is already associated with another account. And, as others have said on the forums, you can't merge two accounts.
So, would it be possible to delete the gmail account entirely? And then, after that is done, change the email on my other account to my gmail address? If so, how do I do that?
Thanks!Hi there,

was using my daughters itunes account and now have my own. If I "erase and sync" will I lose my data from my purchased games? I have transferred apps and backed up to my computer.
One computer iTunes can support multiple Apple IDs. One iPod can also support multiple IDs. Don't do an "erase and sync." Simply add your Apple ID to the computer's iTunes and to the iPod. The only nuisance is app updating, especially if you do the updates from the computer, rather than from the iPod.

I have been given permission for unlocking my iphone 3 GS from Orange. I want to set up the phone for my wife to use with a new number and carrier. Do I unlock under my itunes account first ( I now have a new iphone on this account) or set one up for her and then unlock the phone. I am worried about upsetting the new phone.
I would complete unlocking as is and then
restore as new once you know the iPhone is unlocked
Be aware Orange will process the request at their speed
one of the reasons they usually reside at bottom of User Sat surveys
will likely take weeks

How do I share one itunes account between two users on the same computer
How do I share one itunes account between two users on the same computer without taking up twice as much space on my hard drive?
You would need to move the itunes folder to a location that both users have permissions to access such as the Shared folder or any folder on the root level of the macintosh HD.
You can find instructions here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203 This method allows you to share the content without sharing the same library. -
How do I move an object from one photo to another and then change the scene, i.e. winter to sum?
How do I move an object from one photo to another and then change the scene, i.e. winter to summer?
OK.
Open the picture with the new scene. This will be your canvas.
Open the picture with object A, select it with one of the selection tools, go to Edit>copy
Go back to the new scene/canvas, Go to Edit>paste
Repeat for object B
Use the move tool to position A & B, each on its own layer. Use the corner handles of the bounding box to resize, if necessary
You should have 3 layers: Background layer, and the 2 layers with A & B
Note: It's best if the resolution of the 3 picture files is the same value. -
I have been trying to get my iPhone to sync with a new computer. As a result I have ended up with many of my apps on the old computer, but missing from the the new one and the iPhone. How do I get the apps on the old one to the iPhone and then the new computer?
You don't. Backup your itunes library on the old computer and move it to the new computer.

When I connect my iPod touch to my computer, I have a list of Events on my iTunes-iPod-Photos. I want to erase these Events. However, the photos are NOT on my MacBook Air-iPhoto. When I check one of the Events and then hit Apply, the photos appear on my iPod. And one last thing: When I connect the iPod and open iPhoto, iPhoto tries to load New Photos (I think), but nothing happens. Any ideas?
Resolved.

Curios text in one of three computers when displaying the very same mail in outlook.
I run Outlook 2003 under Windows 8.1.1 in all of my 3 computers. 70% of the mail from the same sender are shown OK in the actual computer and 100% of the very same mail are shown OK in the two other computers. If I forwards an OK received
mail from one of the “100%”, it will be received OK in the “70%” as well. For me the wrong displayed mail shows up as some kind of vector-descriptors (non converted html?). All links in blue are displayed ok and most of the text is readable in an unformatted
way. When it comes to logos etc it’s not readable at all. What to do?
