Itunes account used in more then 5 computers

i got my iphone 4 last night and i came home to synch it with my computer.
i was going over apps and stuff and it said i needed to authorize that computer for my account.
i clicked yes but it said i have over 5 computers authorized.
i only have a desktop and a leptop but ive never authorized any computers to use my itunes account.
only my old iphone and the one im at right now.
says i need to deauthorize one of the computers.
how do i do that and I have no idea what other computers itunes is talking about.

If you have re-installed itunes or upgraded OS, etc without first de-authorizing, it could cause multiple authorizations on the same computer.

  • Itunes account authorisation of more than 5 computers

    ive used all of my  5 authorisations but they are from my old computers so i cant deauthorisae them is there any way around this???? please help

    Hello,
    Note that you can reset your authorization for an account by clicking "Deauthorize All" on the Edit Account Information screen for your account.
    However you should know that you can only use this feature once a year. The button will not appear if you have less than 5 authorized computers or if you have used this option within the last 12 months.
    For information on how to authorize and deauthorize computers for your account you can view this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
    If you do not have option to deauthorize all of the computers at your end you can write to iTunes Store support team and they will do it for you.

    I hope this helps you.

  • ITunes account used on work and home computer

    I use the same iTunes account on my home and work computers.  I have home sharing on.  I have always been able to purchase music on either computer and access it on both.  Recently I made quite a few purchases on my work computer but I can not access them at home.  Nothing has changed.  Help!!

    Hi,
    The best way to manage work environment security would be to enable password login to access your session.  In system preference in the user section, enable the settings to ask for password.

  • Hey apples, how do I get my iPhone 4 sync'ed with my itunes account using my laptop?

    Hey apples, how do I get my iPhone 4 sync'ed with my itunes account using my laptop = how do I add my existing itunes from my account from my laptop to my iPhone 4.  Thanks.

    Overview of syncing iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with your computer:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
    Keep in mind that with the iPhone, you can sync all iTunes content with only one computer.  Trying to sync iTunes content with a second computer will result in iTunes erasing the content from the first computer.  However, non-itunes content such as contacts, calendars, mail settings, notes, etc. (anything in the Info pane) can be synced from another computer.
    If you have songs on a different computer, copy them to the computer you use to sync:

  • I am a US resident but spend several months each year at my house in England. Is it possible for me to download UK iPad apps from the iTunes Store? Right now they seem to be restricted. Can I set up an alternate iTunes account using a UK credit card?

    When you go to Starbucks, you'll need to first go to Settings on your iPad and choose Network. You'll see ATTWIFI as one of the available networks. When you click on that to select it, you should be immediately sent to AT&T's sign in page. You just need to check the box that says you agree to their terms and conditions and then hit the Connect button and you'll be online. One warning, however. If your Starbucks is anything like those in Manhattan, be prepared for really slow wifi. It can be a real pain waiting for pages to load sometimes.

  • I need to create a iTunes account using my work email but...

    I need to create a iTunes account using my work email address but when I try it says that there is already an iTunes account linked to my work email - I have never done this so I know that I have not created this and therefore can't answer the security questions in order to check it out.  It also means I can't set up this iTunes account - any ideas?

    When Apple increased security on the accounts we were asked to create security questions and answers and to offer a rescue email address, could you have used the work address then?

  • By mistake, I created iTunes account using email that was used in my main acc.

    Hi! By mistake, I created iTunes account using email that was used in my main acc. After that, everything i have bought/downloaded and etc disappeared.What should i do?

    The primary email addresses on iTunes accounts have to be unique, you shouldn't be able to create a new iTunes account with the same primary email address unless the existing account had been deleted (only iTunes Support can potentially delete an iTunes account).
    Had you asked iTunes Support to delete your existing account ? If you did then that would also have deleted its purchase history. Or had you changed the primary email address on the old account ?

  • HT2542 Can we have two separate itunes accounts using the same mac?

    I am wanting to download music to my Thunderbolt smart phone (i know, no iphone yet, next upgrade) and I want to use itunes to do it. My partner has an itunes account and I thought I opened my own itunes account, but apparently I didn't. I don't like the same music and only want to download music I like to my phone. Can we just have one account and be able to download checked music from the itunes to multiple devices?

    I'm confused
    Can we have two separate itunes accounts using the same mac?
    Can we just have one account and be able to download checked music from the itunes to multiple devices?
    Do you want one or two?
    By the way, and iTunes account is really the thing you use online to purchase music, not what you have on a computer.  You have user accounts on a computer, and you have iTunes libraries or collections of media.  You can have multiple user accounts on a computer.  You can have a single or multiple user accounts use a single or multiple libraries.  We need to know exactly what it is you have/want.

  • Same variable "used in more then one InfoObject"

    I want to use the same user entered value as part of the definition of two different restricted key figures, restricting on two different characteristics.  Basically the user will enter a date, and one key figure includes only those with a "Calendar date" < the entered date, the other will have "Date1" less then the entered date and "Date2" greater the entered date.  When I try that, I get the error "Variable Select Date used in more then one infoObject".  How can I either use the same variable for more then one characteristic, or create a new variable that takes the value of the "Select Date" variable without prompting the user to enter the same date multiple times.
    thanks

    Hi Val,
    Hereunder an example of a routine extracting year from month, month inserted manually (year = anno in Italian):
    DATA: loc_var_range LIKE rrrangeexit.
    DATA: l_s_range TYPE rsr_s_rangesid. 
    DATA: v_anno(4) TYPE c.
    CASE i_vnam.
      WHEN 'VCE_ANNO'.
        IF i_step = 2.
          CLEAR l_s_range.
          LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range
                  WHERE vnam = '0PCALMON'.
            CLEAR v_anno.
            v_anno = loc_var_range-low(4).
            l_s_range-low      = v_anno.
          L_S_RANGE-HIGH     =
            l_s_range-sign     = 'I'.
            l_s_range-opt      = 'EQ'.
          ENDLOOP.
          APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
        ENDIF.
    endcase.
    Ciao.
    Riccardo.

  • One iTunes account used across multiple computers

    I have a few related questions:
    1) I'm having trouble logging into my own iTunes account on my newest laptop. It says that too many devices are using the same account. Is there a limit on how many computers / devices can use an iTunes account?  If so, how can I resolve this as many of the past computers I used iTunes on, have since crashed/ been discarded, but I didn't unload iTunes from it.
    2) The main problem I am having is in backing up the books I have bought on my iPad on to my newest laptop. It is not letting my purchases sync with iTunes as it does not accept my accont credentials. So I am stuck with a bunch of books on my iPad that I am unable to share or backup.
    3) Once the backup and sign in to iTunes is resolved, how do I share my iBooks with others? Is it possible to save them on a hard-drive as well in case my computer crashes?
    Would appreciate your help on this!

    Authorization only applies to computers. When you update a device any protected content on the device for which the library is not authorised will be removed. Otherwise no attempt is made to remove content that was added by a now deauthorised library.
    There is a separate scheme permitting up to 10 devices (computers, iPhones, iPad or iPod touches) to be registered for automatic downloads of your purchases with a different mechanism for deregistering devices.
    Once you have a file on your computer you can physically copy it to any other computer in the same way that you would copy any other file like a Word document, put it on a disk, email it if not too large, burn it to DVD, stick it on an external hard drive or move it over a network. You can use Get Info. To tell you where it is now and you can drop it into the library at the other end.
    The user tip shows how to backup the whole library and then update that backup efficiently. Such a backup to a portable drive also provides a possible tool for transporting any content to another computer.

  • ITunes can't authorize on more then 5 computers.

    Hello,
    I have built a few machines and can no longer authorize iTunes because I have authorized on more than 5 computers. The error message tells me to unauthorize one of the computers but they no longer exist for me to do this. How do I get my account reset?

    hi jlarrabee!
    once every 12 months you're allowed to do a "deauthorise all" on all computers. for a little more information, see the end of this document:
    iTunes: About Music Store authorization and deauthorization
    but if you don't have access to any of the PCs, it might be worth contacting the Music Store to ask if they might be able to deauthorise them for you.
    (other folks please feel free to step in to confirm or deny that.)

  • Why does "itunes accounts" use data with all settings OFF?

    Does anyone know how to keep "iTunes accounts" under system from using cellular data?
    I have already:
    1. Toggled OFF all settings in the "Use cellular data for" menu.
    2. Turned OFF all automatic downloads and any other options under iTunes/app store settings.
    3. Turned OFF Background App refresh.
    4. Turned OFF all options under iCloud sync menu.
    Right now, the only thing that keeps "iTunes accounts" from pulling cellular data is turning Cellular Data completely OFF, but I don't want to do this because I lose some messaging and voicemail functions and I need to be able to use Find My Phone. I have two identical iPhone 5c's on this account. One is running iOs 8.1.2 and the above settings control it's data usage nicely. The other phone is running iOs 8.1.3 and this one uses 50-100 mb a day even with all the above settings off and the phone almost always on wifi.
    I am aware that the phone will lose it's wifi connection when asleep, but that shouldn't be a problem if all the apps/settings are already set not to use cellular data. What am I missing. I've read a bunch of threads on this issue and they all suggest settings I already have OFF.

    My personal phone is on 8.1.2. My daughter's phone is 8.1.3.
    It is her phone that is currently having this problem, but I reported it under my account; sorry for the confusion.
    My phone has had some data problems in the past, but I have been able to control them by keeping almost all data options OFF and the overall switch ON. My usage is back to less than 50 mb per month which makes sense since my phone is almost always on wifi and I don't use data dense applications.
    Everything about my daughter's phone is the same as mine except for the 8.1.3 upgrade. She does use things like Instagram more than I do, but I have them all set to not use Cellular Data and the option to change these settings is locked. When I look at the usage on her phone, it isn't her apps that are pulling unexpected data; it's "iTunes accounts" under system services. All the options under iTunes/App Store (auto downloads, home sharing, etc.) and all the iCloud options are already OFF.
