Is there a way to authorize more than 5 computers.  We have three macs and 5 pc's in the house.

Hello,  I have a MBP (mid 12 model), a brand new MBA (mid 13), and Mac Mini, four laptop PCs and 2 more Desktop PCs (I have teenage daughters and my wife)...
I intend for one of the PC's to be a "server" I have a large library that certainly does not fit on the MBA, or the MBP.  To share the library the client has to be authorized. 
I am currently using all of my authorizations...  is there a way to get more?  (I can't move content to another account I am assuming...)
Thanks in Advance,
Chris

iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420 - and another helpful post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17828050
"You can authorize up to five computers with your Apple ID."  I have not heard of a way to get more.  They probably set up a limit so people don't go around and authorize all their friends' and relatives' computers to one account, and somehow arrived at the number 5 to limit (probably because most families won't have more than one computer per person and 2 parents + 2.5 children rounds up to 5).

  • Is there a way to authorize more than 5 computers for iTunes or reauthorize all of my computers before 1 year?

    is there a way to authorize more than 5 computers for iTunes or reauthorize all of my computers before 1 year?  i have more than 5 cmputers and i cannot get all of my songs/books to play on all of my computers.
    alternatively, if i want to deauthorize my computers before 1 year has passed since the last time i did it, how can that be accomplished?

    "is there a way to authorize more than 5 computers for iTunes"
    No.

    Try contacting itunes support.  Click "Support" at the top of this page, then click the link under "Contact Us"

  • HT1420 First world problems...  Is there any way to authorize more than 5?

      I have three apple Tv's in my home.  I have 3 macs, 3 iPads, and three iPhones.  Is there really no way to authorize all of MY apple devices at once?

    Only the three computers count for iTunes Store authorization. This isn't the same as iTunes Match or automatic downloads, for which 10 devices can be associated.

  • Is there a way to enable & configure Volume Discounts via the Product Import Spreadsheet? Is there a way to enable more than 2 Quantity Thresholds?

    Is there a way to enable & configure Volume Discounts via the Product Import Spreadsheet? Is there a way to enable more than 2 Quantity Thresholds?

    Hi Michael,
    You can set the thresholds via an import file. The easiest way to do this (and this goes for all importable data, webapps included, 301 redirects and so on) is this:
    1. go into the Admin and create a single item, in you case create a test product and set the thresholds
    2. export that data - in your case export the product list
    3. take a look at how the data looks like in the export file so you can get an idea of how the format should be like in the import file
    Unfortunately you cannot set more than 2 thresholds, that is not possible at the moment.
    Thanks,
    Mihai

  • I now have 5 devices that access the "cloud" via Match. I also have 3 computers that need to be authorized. Is there a way to authorize all these computers/devices in such a way to allow everything to access and sync to the cloud?

    I now have 5 devices that access the "cloud" via Match. I also have 3 computers that need to be authorized. Is there a way to authorize all these computers/devices in such a way to allow everything to access and sync to the cloud?

    I had a problem with a 5.0.3 project that would cause 5.0.4 to crash. Apple asked for a copy of the project and later told me it was because there were some empty text layers. Apple is aware of the issue and is working on a fix.
    In my case I still had 5.0.3 on another Mac and could clean up the project. If empty text layers might be the problem, do you know someone with an earlier version who could open it and remove the empty layers? I'd be willing to give it a try if you'd want to send me the project.

  • Upgraded to iOS 6 and now I can't open anything in the kindle app? I have to say that I have had my ipad3 for 6 months and intensely dislike the problems with using it. Also is there any way of opening more than one screen as it is hopeless otherwise?

    I Have had my iPad for 6 months as I cannot access my work emails using windows. I have to say that it is the most unhelpful device I have ever used and although it looks like there isn't an answer for some of the questions I have asked below, I thought I would try!
    1) I have upgraded to ios6 and the kindle app will open but crashes and disappears when I try to access a book?
    2) is there any way I can open more than one page at a time, as opening one at a time is hopeless?
    3) Is there any way you can replicate the right click function on word? As pasting and copying on the iPad is irritating to say the least!
    4) why can't my Samsung 11 phone connect to my iPad via Bluetooth? A they can't seem to 'see' each other? I may have turned a setting off when I was recently abroad and didn't want huge roaming charges.
    5) Why do the submit buttons on some websites not work and how can I get them to? I never have a problem with windows, but it is often a problem with the iPad.
    6) I have several websites which I have built and usually upgrade on the windows desktop, usually through Internet explorer, but I can't access the sites properly on the iPad (I can see them but can't alter them) and when sending emails through the websites they won't show the page and I can't navigate the page (the size of the email page is bigger than the iPad screen, but I can't either shrink the page to size or move the page around as you normally would on the pad, any ideas?
    7) finally, when roaming abroad recently, I had no problems using the wifi, but when trying to use the cellular data (using the roaming function) I could not get it to work? The ipad seemed to be connected to the network with no problems, but wouldn't actually update the emails? I tried turning it on and off, but that didn't make a difference. My kindle and mobile phone (both also on 3G ) worked great, it was just (as usual) the ipad playing up.
    8) when wanting to alter part of a sentence, I can't always get the cursor in the right place? Sometimes it is simple the wrong line, but often it will only go at the end or start of a word and not where I want it. Is there any way of making it more exact? Again I never have a problem with moving the cursor on windows, either by mouse or on the touch screen function on windows 7. Any ideas? As after pressing the screen multiple times I just want to throw it out of the window!
    IT might just be that I don't have the correct settings (I am a technophobe) but I absolutely hate the iPad and only have it for work emails, it is so annoying that I can get my mobile phone and kindle3g to work fine, but always have problems with the iPad. I am sure it could be good (and for reading emails on the go in the uk it is great, as I like the key board) but it just seems to make everything else difficult.
    i Hope you can help and sorry for asking questions others have, but I am just hoping that something new might have been developed!
    thanks,
    K

    1) I have upgraded to ios6 and the kindle app will open but crashes and disappears when I try to access a book?
    Try rebooting your iPad, that should fix he issue. I that doesn't work, delete the app and re-download it.  The Kindle books should all be in he Kindle cloud services and you can get them again. I have an iPad2 w/ Kindle app and it works just fine - no issues.
    2) is there any way I can open more than one page at a time, as opening one at a time is hopeless?
    Page as in a kindle book way? turn iPad to landscape position from portrait position. If, however, you mean open more than one application at a time, then no. And not hopeless, as it takes a bit of time to get used to, going from a desktop/laptop format to tablet format.
    3) Is there any way you can replicate the right click function on word? As pasting and copying on the iPad is irritating to say the least!
    It's actually fairly easy. Press down on the word, then you can expand by drawing your finger to cover word/sentence/paragraph/page, hit select or select all then it gives you the option to cut, copy, paste, define. If you want to use a word processing app on the iPad, Pages is a good application.
    4) why can't my Samsung 11 phone connect to my iPad via Bluetooth? A they can't seem to 'see' each other? I may have turned a setting off when I was recently abroad and didn't want huge roaming charges.
    It's the connection on your phone. Samsung Galaxy SII? Android software?  What you have to do is go to the phone's settings and connect via wireless, not Bluetooth. Go to System Settings (on phone) and under Wireless and Networks click 'more' and go to the Tethering and Portable Hotspot option. Set up your mobile wifi hotspot,  name it though it will probably come up with 'AndroidAP', choose a WPA2 security level and put in a password. Go back to previous screen and turn on 'Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot' box. Then on your iPad in the Settings - Wi-Fi section, it should then recognize your phone for tethering. If it's a Windows Phone 7,  I don't know the layout of that software, but presumeably similar.
    5) Why do the submit buttons on some websites not work and how can I get them to? I never have a problem with windows, but it is often a problem with the iPad.
    Sometimes the issue is with the website design, not all websites are optimized for mobile devices - not just iPad but also Android devices. It happens. They're getting there, but occasionally the page might need a refresh.
    6) I have several websites which I have built and usually upgrade on the windows desktop, usually through Internet explorer, but I can't access the sites properly on the iPad (I can see them but can't alter them) and when sending emails through the websites they won't show the page and I can't navigate the page (the size of the email page is bigger than the iPad screen, but I can't either shrink the page to size or move the page around as you normally would on the pad, any ideas?
    It depends on what you use to build the websites on the computer. Recommend a free program on the computer called CoffeeCup Free HTML Editor. I don't recommend using IE period; Firefox or Chrome are my choices on Windows machines. I have two websites that I manage, both using this program. I'm assuming that when you mean you can't access the sites on the iPad you mean to update them? Ostensible there are apps to let you do this. What format are the sites? Without seeing what exactly you mean and what you want to do, it's hard to explain.
    As for seeing full page while emailing within a site, turn iPad to portrait mode, and try to finger-pinch touch the screen to see if that will bring the fuller page  into view. Other option is opening a second tab with same website and just go between tabs to reference material.
    7) finally, when roaming abroad recently, I had no problems using the wifi, but when trying to use the cellular data (using the roaming function) I could not get it to work? The ipad seemed to be connected to the network with no problems, but wouldn't actually update the emails? I tried turning it on and off, but that didn't make a difference. My kindle and mobile phone (both also on 3G ) worked great, it was just (as usual) the ipad playing up.
    If you were outside the US or Canada, my guess is the problem lies within the SIM card in your iPad. If you were outside North America, there are different band levels - I'm guessing you have a SIM thats locked to a particular provider. Band level frequencies differ per country/continent, so a SIM card that will work in Canada/US will not likely work in UK/Europe/Asia/Australia, etc. you will be able to get your emails again when back on a wifi network. Mobile phone may have a different type SIM card (GSM/HSPA) from your iPad SIM. Also, check your email settings.
    8) when wanting to alter part of a sentence, I can't always get the cursor in the right place? Sometimes it is simple the wrong line, but often it will only go at the end or start of a word and not where I want it. Is there any way of making it more exact? Again I never have a problem with moving the cursor on windows, either by mouse or on the touch screen function on windows 7. Any ideas? As after pressing the screen multiple times I just want to throw it out of the window!
    Moving the cursor on a sentence is a matter of putting your finger on the screen where you want it. It's exceptionally easy to do. I'm using the Notes app to write this whole segment and I just need to put my finger where I want to change things and presto it's ready for me to change where I want it.
    Here's a solution: sell your iPad (after you wipe your data off it) to someone who will appreciate it, and put your money towards the Windows Surface Tablet out later this year/early next year, where you can (reportedly) connect a mouse to it. It will have some of the Windows 7/8 functionality that you're more familiar with, or get a netbook.

  • [Web] Is there a way to generate more than 1 CSS file?

    Obviously using model.appearance. with AddCustomCSS lets us generate a CSS file.
    I could create an AddPage file that uses maps nonCSS values into a pregenerated CSS file. The problem is that live_update doesn't handle these well.
    (if someone wants to write a more indepth look at doing stuff in Live Update, that would be fine with me, not to mention Matthew Campagna and John Beardsworth)
    Is there an alternative way, or are we restricted to one CSS file per model section? why do I need more than 1? iFrames. I don't want the same body values etc inside the iFrame HTML.

    Let me put it another way:
    What would I need to add to live_update.js to have nonCSS values force a refresh?

  • Is there any way to get more than 50 podcast in feed?

    I want to have more than 50 episodes in feed(not in archive). But inspector limits me to 50. Is there any way break through 50?

    As far as iTunes is concerned you can have 300 episodes, but iWeb does limit you to 50 and the only way round that is to abandon it and use something else to make your podcast, which isn't a particularly convenient option as you would have to recreate everything from scratch.

  • HT2513 is there a way to get more than just the 3 colors (green, orange, purple)

    Is there a way to add different colors besides the green, orange, and purple if you have more than 3 things going on in a particular day??
    Thanks

    The color of an event is dictated by the color of the calendar that it's asigned to.
    Click the Calendar button, right click on one of your calendars and choose Get Info.
    There you'll find a color drop down menu.  If you don't like any of the default color click, click Other and you'll get access to an infinte number of choices.

  • Is there any way to see more than the latest three back ups when restoring from iCloud?

    I have had my phone set as icloud back up only for a couple months now and it had been backing up fine. But my wifi shut down on the phone and I couldn't back it up via iCloud. (I thought) I backed it up through my computer before taking the phone to the Genius Bar but it didn't work for some reason. And now I lost all my photos that were taken between the time that I had the wifi and when I got the phone replaced. However, I backed up the new phone via iCloud afterwards, with the phone restored to the time before i switched to iCloud backup. And I'm not a 100% sure but I'm sure it's backed up more than 3 times since I got the phone replaced. Is there any way to pick from the past iCloud backups, further back than the latest three?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I don't believe you can see more than three, unfortunately.
