ITunes computer authorisation

how can a reset my itunes match account to avoid waiting 90 days before re-autherising my computer?

The 90 day period applies if you try to use a different Apple Id on the same device. It is intentional and there is no route to avoid, other than not to accept the option when prompted at the outset.

ITunes requesting authorisation on specific tracks

Hey guys -
I've had a search around the web for this, but I'm not getting anywhere. My late 2013 MBP won't play specific iTunes tracks, and pops up a "you need to authorise this machine message" when I try to. I enter the username and password, and quickly get a "machine already authorised" message.
The scenario is this:
* All my music is generally stored in iTunes Match - normally I don't have a local copy accessible
* When I realised a track wouldn't play yesterday (Green Day's American Idiot) I decided to download all of my music to my MBP
* I spent a few hours downloading every track I should have, and by the end I was a couple of thousand tracks short - ie my downloads are missing a couple of thousand that are in the cloud... This may be a different issue though...
* The specific test track, American Idiot, actually did download, but won't play in iTunes (not authorised message) or VLC (nothing happens when I click play).
Here's what I've tried:
* Does it work from another device? Yes - I can play this track from Match on my iPhone and iPad
* I've tried to deauthorise and reauthorise all machines on my account, but can't since I did it last September when I got the MBP
* Following some advice from the support site, I deleted my ....../SC Info folder and rebooted
So, it seems the Mac is the only one stuck. That's a problem right now since I'm taking the wife on honeymoon in a couple of weeks, and we won't have access to Match (or the internet mostly, argh!), so I want to throw our library onto my MBP.
Anyone else come across this?
Thanks,
-dave.
PS I saw a question in another post about this - for clarity, this is the only Apple account I have, and I've had for more than 10 years now, so I don't think this is a DRM issue. Actually, on the specific test track, pretty sure that was a CD I imported years ago. Like I said, it's also playing fine from Match on my phone

What you are seeing isn't unusual for a corrupt download. Delete the file completely from your computer and redownload.

Iphone is no longer detected on itunes/computer it is synched with.

One of my Iphones is no longer detected by the itunes/computer that it is synched with. The computer/itunes does detect other devices. The iphone in question is able to be detected on another computer/itunes.
I updated software oof iphone on another computer. I updated itunes on the computer that does not detect the phone. I rebooted both. I tried software conflict.
Does anyone have an idea how to resolve? I have all of my contacts, apps, photos, music etc on that computer.
When I updated phone software on another computer to see if that was the problem it wiped out all music,apps, photos etc on the phone. I have thee devices with one apple id and they are synched to different computers.

You should try another USB cable, charging and sending data through the cable is not completely the same, sending data is using other contacts inside the plug or docking connector.

On my registered iTunes computer, the following message appears every time one plugs in a device and refuses to load said device to be synced: "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". They are all registered. Help

On my registered iTunes computer, the following message appears every time one plugs in a device and refuses to load said device to be synced: "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". Each device has been registered onto this account and this computer, and all have worked finely in the past. I am so confused as to why now seemingly without reason, none of our apple devices (one iPod, two iPhones) are allowed to have music and other material downloaded onto them. Also, as a side note, they still are charged by plugging them into the computer, however they do not even show up on the left-hand sidebar in iTunes.
It should also be noted that for my iPhone it does not allow for the new update software to be uploaded; it just says that an error has occurred, nothing more.

How can iTune-synched photos be deleted from iOS devices if the iTunes computer is no longer available?

How can iTunes-synched photos be deleted from iOS devices if the iTunes computer is no longer available?
This can happen because the iOS device is on travels distant from the iTunes computer, because the iTunes computer is on travels distant from the iOS device, because the iTunes computer has failed permanently, because the iTunes computer has been stolen, etc.

KRDHarris-
The only possibility I can think of, is to consult with an Apple Store Genius. See if there is some kind of Apple proprietary software or diagnostic tool that can do it.
I do not think you want to, but you could go to Settings-General-Reset-Erase All Content and Settings. If you decided to do that, you might be able to restore from a previous backup when you get home.

Purchased movie on ATV and it will not transfer to iTunes computer

A few days ago I purchased "The Blind Side" on my ATV. Watched it no problems. Recently I did however notice that my itunes was downloading the extras content. When I went to look for the movie in the library the only thing there was the extras. I looked on the ATV and the movie is still there. It is only listed on the ATV and not my iTunes computer.
After looking closer I discovered that several shows that I have subscriptions too were also ONLY on my ATV and were not transferring over to my iTunes library. Currently there are now 5 episodes of 2 TV shows on my ATV that are not in my iTunes library. I have tried to sync the ATV on several occasions. I have cycled the power on and off on all machines. Reconnected it to the router and more.
I am concerned about trying other options as I do not want the content to be erased from my ATV. Are there any recommendations?

The same thing has happened to me. I am making purchases only via itunes until this issue is resolved. I had to contact Apple Support to have them "reset" the downloads so I could download them directly into itunes. Please submit a feedback report to Apple so their engineers will become aware of this issue and fix it.

I sold my ipod (which has always been backed up to Itunes/computer)and am waiting for my new ipad. Do I have to manually download all my apps on the ipad, or will itunes sync my old ipod apps/music to the ipad?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can sync your music and apps from iTunes. However since you are moving from an iPod to an iPad, many of the apps will have iPad versions which you will need to redownload.

Computer authorisation

Hi there - I am trying to use Adobe Digital Editions to download books onto my daughter's kobo. I have managed to set up an Adobe ID/password which works on the main Adobe site. The next step seems to be an Adobe dialogue box asking me to "authorise my computer". I have entered my Adobe I.D/password and am told "connection error. Digital Editions could not connect to the activation centre. Please make sure you are connected to the internet" I am connected. I see on these forums lots of people seem to have problems at this point. I have tried one of the solutions suggested - uninstalling Digital Editions 2.0, and using D.E 1.7.2 instead - unfortunately the link given seems to be to an expired page, so I've had to reinstall D.E 2.0 again. Computer authorisation still not working. Any other suggestions? Thanks - Jenny

One problem is that ADE does not accept passwords with special characters,
even though the web site allows you to set them and ADE won't tell you that is the problem.
Another is confused registration:
~~~~~
Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.
In extreme cases on the mac, the following extra step has helped some people. Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash.

Charging Ipod battery on non-Itunes computer

Can I listen to my Ipod while charging it on a non-Itunes computer? Haven't been able to do it yet.

Well you should be able to charge your iPod on any computer with a USB port. Are you able to do that? I don't know the answer about being able to listen to it at the same time. I have never had a need to do that. Perhaps someone else knows the answer. It might be a matter of configuring the iPod so when plugged in, allows you still to access the thing, like having it so it is in manual update instead of automatic update or something along those lines where the auto-update feature might be locking you out while it searches for the iTunes it is supposed to sync up with.

You can also charge the ipod on any powered usb hub when no computer is on. I leave it on overnight and get it in the a.m. when I leave for work.
