IPhone 4 Syncing Error- Too Many Computers

I get an error message that says my iPhone has been cynced to 5 computers and it won't sync to my new MacBook Pro. Is there any way to Unsync it from computers I no longer have access to? We're talking about computers from three years ago, before I even had the iPhone 4 (I'm guessing; the error message doesn't give me any more info than that)!

You need to do a factory reset (erase all content and settings), set up as new phone, then input your icloud info to restore some data lost (contact ect..)
1. Set icloud to sync your important information
2. Remove any / all data from the device (backup will not work)
***PERFORMING A BACKUP VIA ICLOUD OR ITUNES WILL NOT RESOLVE THIS ISSUE - IF YOU RESTORE FROM BACKUP THIS FIX WILL NOT WORK! MUST SET UP AS NEW PHONE!
3.Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings
4.Setup the iPhone (You Must Set Up As New iPhone)
5.Go to app store - no error
6.Sign into icloud and itunes account (Do Not Restore From iCloud Backup)
7.Go to app store - still no error
Hope this helps.

  • HT1386 i have gone through several pc units over time and when i try to sync up my iphone and ipad to my new computer is says it can not sync because i have the devices registered on too many computers. How do i fix that?

    I have had several computers in recent years and when i try to sync my iphone and ipad to my new computer, it says it cant because the devices are registered on too many computers. I only need them synced up to two computers - how do i fix this?

    In iTunes, under the "Store" menu, you can select "Deauthorize this computer". That will remove that computer from your iTunes account and free up a spot for the new computer.
    If you have already sold or wiped your previous computers, you can log into your iTunes account from the Store menu in iTunes by selecting "View My Account xxxx@xxxx". Once you are logged in, about 1/4 the way down the page it will tell you that you have "xx computers are authorized......". Beside that you have the option to deauthorize all of the connected devices. That is the only option, you will have to deauthorize all and then set up the ones you want to use.
    I think 10 is the maximum number of devices that can sync to one iTunes account.

  • Deauthorizing iTunes on a computer?  My laptop won't let me connect my iPhone because it says I'm authorized on too many computers, but when I try to de-authorize another computer I use it won't let me.  What's up?

    What do you mean it won't let you?  What exactly does it say? (Sorry to sound so exasperated but this is like the 6th post in a row where people have made vague statements which do little to help us find solutions without a game of 20 questions.)  I'm going to guess and say you can only deauthorize a computer to which you have physical access or VPN login.  The alternative is to deauthorize all which you can only do once a year.

    Hi ..
    Can you please suggest on the following error, which i am facing the issue while opening data form in Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.4 .
    Unable to load the following resource: Error: too many columns- form won't
    Regards,

    It is something around 256 if I am not mistaken, I dread to think what a form with 700 columns is like to work with.

  • Too many computers using the product?

    I have Adobe Photoshop elements on two computers. I just had a msg come up that said I have the software installed on too many computers. It has only been on the two. No recent installations either. I need help here or I am going to loose it in 30 days. Why is adobe so hard to get a hold of?

    I am guessing here that multiple computers refers to more than the number of computers that you have the license for. See this document for more info: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/100/1008779.html

    I have Solved the problem my friend suggestion.
    The excel file i was trying to access is from WEBI report which was saved as .xls format and then then made some modifications to the spreadsheet.
    What i did was i deleted the unused columns, i.e my spread sheet has data upto AQ column so i deleted remaining cells.
    and while  defining the  excel file format i selected the option workbook and selected the proper sheet and in the other options i have chosen column range and also check the box ( extended range) now i could over come the error OLE or COM processing error

    I have the same issue, as do others; see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=177595. But I haven't found any answers anywhere, nor any real cause for concern.

  • HT1420 I am trying to sync my iPhone to my computer with a new Apple ID that Ive just created because the original account has been applied on too many computers. iTunes is not allowing me to transfer my purchases with my new account. Help!!

    I am trying to synch my iPhone with my computer, and new Apple ID. My iPhone is synced with another computer, but i have changed the Apple ID on my phone and authorized it on my computer. However, i can not transfer my purchases on to my new account. I have updated my phone, authorized the account on both my phone and my computer. And i do not wish to wipe my phone clean, because there is but one song on this new account. How do i transfer the music on my new account?

    All content bought/downloaded from iTunes is tied to the account that downloaded it and it can't be transferred to a different account - so you will need to authorise your old account on that computer if you want to transfer its purchases over.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Too many computers registered?

    I have no way of getting to the computers that are registered on my ipod, since i am in the military and those computers are partially in other countries. Am i just completely screwed in adding/removing songs on my ipod? Is there a way to re-set without losing everything thats on it already?

    What do you mean by "registered"? Registration is between the computer and the iTunes Store account. For previously purchased songs that were +Protected AAC+ format, you can only play them on up to five computers at any given time. However, there is no registration between an iPod and computer.
    The only restriction is with syncing. An iPod can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time. If you use the +Manually manage music+, you can use an iPod with as many computers as you want. However, to ensure you do not accidentally sync your iPod to an unknown library and erase what is current on the iPod, you should open iTunes preferences, go to the Devices tab, and check +Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods+
    So is this question related to the iTunes Store account and the five computer limit? Or is it related to syncing between an iPod and computer.

  • IPhones w ActiveSync creating too many connections on mail server

    Over the past two days, I have started getting 503 errors, indicating too many connections. When I went to look at active connections, I noticed that the vast majority were from the iPhones that connect using ActiveSync. Just in the 45 minutes since I cleared all active connections, my iPhone has created 14 active connections. When you multiply that by the eight iPhones we have at this company the number jumps to 112. It is easy to see why the 503 error is getting generated by the end of the business day. It is as though the iPhone is unable to let go of an active connection, and just starts a new one. This only seems to be happening since the iPhone 3.0 update. Is anyone else experiencing similar issues?

    Yes - I'm having a very similar problem on our server. But in this case the user has a very large mailbox - and imap processes are spawned but never die unless I go in and manually kill them.

  • Function error:  Too many records

    I have writing a function that needs to return the total count of a sql statement. It will divide two calculated columns to get an average. I have two versions. Version 1 compiled successfully and I am trying to either run it in Reports or in the database and call it. I get an error stating that the function returns too many records. I understand that is a rule for stored functions but how can I modify the code to get it return one value for each time it is called?
    Here is the main calculation. SUM(date1-date2) / (date1-date2) = Avg of Days
    version1:
    create or replace FUNCTION CALC_OVER_AGE
    RETURN NUMBER IS
    days_between NUMBER;
    days_over NUMBER;
    begin
    select (determination_dt - Filed_dt), SUM(determination_dt - Filed_dt) into days_between, days_over
    from w_all_cases_mv
    where (determination_dt - Filed_dt) > 60
    and ;
    return (days_between/days_over);
    END CALC_OVER_AGE;
    version2:
    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION CALC_OVER_AGE (pCaseType VARCHAR2)
    RETURN PLS_INTEGER IS
    v_days_between W_ALL_CASES_MV.DAYS_BETWEEN%TYPE;
    v_total NUMBER;
    days_over NUMBER;
    i PLS_INTEGER;
    BEGIN
    SELECT COUNT(*)
    INTO i
    FROM tab
    WHERE case_type_cd = pCaseType
    AND determination_dt - Filed_dt > 60;
    IF i <> 0 THEN
    select SUM(determination_dt-Filed_dt), days_between
    into v_total, v_days_between
    from tab
    where determination_dt - Filed_dt > 60;
    RETURN v_total/v_days_between;
    ELSE
    RETURN 0;
    END IF;
    EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
    RETURN 0;
    END CALC_OVER_AGE;

    Table Structure:
    WB_CASE_NR NUMBER(10)
    RESPONDENT_TYPE_CD VARCHAR2(10)
    INV_LOCAL_CASE_NR VARCHAR2(14)
    CASE_TYPE_CD VARCHAR2(10)
    FILED_DT DATE
    FINAL_DTRMNTN_DT DATE
    REPORTING_NR VARCHAR2(7)
    INVESTIGATOR_NAME VARCHAR2(22)
    OSHA_CD VARCHAR2(5)
    FEDERAL_STATE VARCHAR2(1)
    RESPONDENT_NM VARCHAR2(100)
    DAYS_BETWEEN NUMBER
    LAST_NM VARCHAR2(20)
    FIRST_NM VARCHAR2(20)
    DETERMINATION_DT DATE
    DETERMINATION_TYPE_CD VARCHAR2(2)
    FINAL_IND_CD VARCHAR2(1)
    DESCRIPTION VARCHAR2(400)
    DETERMINATION_ID NUMBER(10)
    ALLEGATION_CD VARCHAR2(1)
    ALGDESCRIPTION VARCHAR2(50)
    Output is for Reports, I am trying to get the last calculation, which is the Average Days. The reports is grouped on Case Types and has several bucket counts for each like this.
    Case Type Count All Completed Pending Over Age Avg Days
    A 5 3 4 2 15
    Z 10 7 6 3 30
    4 8 3 5 4 22
    To get the Avg Days, the Over Age calculation is used as well as the Days Between (Determination_Dt - Filed_Dt). That is the (date1-date2) example that I gave in my first post. So the calcuation would be the SUM(Days_Between) / Days_Between.

  • Flex Time error: Too many disk I/) tasks (Elastic Audio)...

    I've been using flex time to take a sample in straight time and make it swing, but I've been having playback issues. I get two different error windows 1) Extreme compress factor detected during playback (Elastic Audio) (-10025) and 2) Too many disk I/O tasks (Elastic Audio). Also, I occasionally get a loud static sound when playing the sample. I don't have this issue when in Flex mode if I only loop the sample twice, but if I try to loop it more than twice, I'll get the errors and/or the static sound. At no point do the stretches make the audio color red, so I don't think I'm over-stretching or over-compressing the audio Is there any way to solve this? Does flex time have limitations to the number of markers used?

    Yeah, the I/O error is because you're basically pushing it too hard, it can't read what you're doing fast enough to process it. I got this the other day when I was trying to use flex within a take folder over multiple comped takes.
    If you want to swing the audio, why don't you cut it into regions, send it to the EXS 24 and then quantise the samples with swing in the piano roll. That way you're not putting so much pressure on the processor.

  • Iphone 3g sync error

    I have been trying to sync my iphone 3 for months. The only way I get it to sync is to restore it to the original settings. Everything goes fine till I get to step 4 of 4 and I get the message "Itunes could not back up the iphone "iphone" because an error has occurred". I have tried everything and nothing seems to work. Itunes has the most current version and my phone is up to date. Can anyone please help me?
    Amanda

    I found the culprit. I was logged in to my account, with my wife's account active in the background. Her account had iTunes open. When I logged out of my own account (having closed iTunes) and went back to hers, her iteration of iTunes popped up a bunch of notices about trying to sync my iPhone.
    Thus, I quit iTunes under her account (and made sure no other accounts were active), logged back in to mine, opened iTunes, and am now successfully syncing. Problem solved.
