ITunes installs with an authorized audible account

My problem is, I'd like to use Home Sharing but keep getting the 5506 error when logging into my AppleID, which as per other threads requires you de-authorize itunes and login with your account. I haven't authorized iTunes to use any audible accounts, its a clean install on a freshly installed Windows machine running Windows 7, but under the Advanced tab it says de-authorize audible account. How do I de-authorize if it was never authorized in the first place?

many thanks.
That should be possible.
From his library connect to your library via Home Sharing.
Select the name of the shared library in the source pane of your itunes, and click on the wee disclosure triangle to the left of the name of the library. Does "Films" appear beneath the name of the library?
Here's a screenshot of what I mean.
Select "Films". In the right-hand pane you should see the item you want to transfer. Just select that item, and click "Import".
Use the same basic technique to get one or a few songs from your library transferred to his library. (The only difference is that you would have "Music" selected instead of "Films".
If you don't want him to have access to other items in your library, you could just switch Home Sharing off on his library after you've done the transfers.

  • Single iTunes Installation with Multiple iPods?

    I have 2 daughters with iPods and one computer. Is it possible to sync 2 different iPods with a single iTunes installation?

    Actually now that I think about it, I believe it is viable. Check out this article i found on google. http://ipod.about.com/od/introductiontotheipod/ht/mult_ipods.htm
    If that doesn't completely help, just type in a google search "can two ipods work with one computer". There's plenty of helpful articles. So, scratch my last post. Sorry!

  • De-authorizing audible account

    I have just bought a new Macbook and I'm trying to de-authorize the audible account for my iPod on my old computer on iTunes but I am told that my account id or username is incorrect. I know it is correct since iTunes still lets me authorize and purchase music on the same account.
    Is there any other way to de-authorize an iPod from a computer besides going through the advanced tab in iTunes?

    Choose Deauthorize Computer from the Store menu. Unless you've purchased an audiobook, you don't have an Audible account to deauthorize.

  • How to handle iTunes Match with multiple libraries (one account, 5 family members)?

    How would this work, in the situation below ...
    Everyone has their own iCloud account (for their own syncing purposes).
    But we (family) ALL share the same iTunes account (for purchasing).
    How will this work, since we all have our own iTunes libraries?

    One person sets up Match on their computer using the iTunes account.  Uploads everything to match.
    I would recommend waiting until that person is done, and do computers one at a time.  No particular reason, just seems sensible.
    Next person sets up match using same iTunes account details.  Uploads their stuff.  They will then see everything the previous user put into the system, unless you select "Hide music not on this computer" in the view menu.  Previous user will now see their stuff too.
    Rinse and repeat.
    This is how it worked with my multiple machines anyway...  As long as every computer uses the same iTunes account for the store, you all get access to the same Match account.

  • European iTunes Card with a U.S. account

    I'm from the U.S. but I travel a lot & have friends overseas. I just got as a gift an iTunes card worth 25€ (euros) but my account is tied to my U.S. credit card and, of course, I therefore pay for all my stuff in U.S. dollars. Will the 25€ be somehow converted to its value in USD or will it somehow mean I pay European prices for purchases? What are the caveats here?
    If needed, I can sell this gift card here & use the money to buy a U.S. card.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Sorry, but an iTunes card cannot be used outside of its country of sale, so a European iTunes card cannot be used with a US iTunes Store account. You'll need to sell the card and buy a US iTunes Card.

    Great, thanks. I was too scared to punch in the code to redeem the card on my account, for fear it might somehow convert my account to European or something.

  • Using iTunes Library with a read-only account...

    Hi! I use my HD connected to my AEBS and to create some accounts in which people can use information on the shared folder that is created when the account preference is chosen. I later copied my iTunes library in the same folder so that everybody had access to it. Most of the users I created have restricted access (meaning read-only access). The ones that have full acces had no problem but the ones that have read-only access, when they try to choose the iTunes library, recieve a message saying "The folder "iTunes" is in a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder.". I clearly understand what the problem is and why it is not letting those users acces it but does anybody has an idea on how I can make the iTunes library accessible to the "read-only users"? Thanks!

    iTunes was NOT built for multi-user "write" access. Allowing write access to more than one user of iTunes "concurrently" is a recipe for disaster: sooner or later your iTunes database will get corrupted. You have been warned.

  • New itunes installation with old itouch - cant sync without deleting - HELP

    hey guys...
    after a recent virus went through my pc, a friend had to delete heaps of programs and itunes was one of them. unfortunately he didnt back up my music, and now i have just re-downloaded the new version of itunes and my 2000 songs have gone!
    they are all still on my itouch - but i cant even play them now through my pc - is there anything i can do??
    thanks!

    If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7.3 or later installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
    If at any point you get a message that your iPod is linked to another library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    Once you are safely connected, if you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to the iPod and iPhone. However there are a few third party utilities that are advertised as iPhone and iPod Touch compatible which can be used to retrieve the music files and playlists etc. Have a look at the web sites and help pages for these ones and see what you think or check the web for reviews:
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

  • Itunes installs with many folders of the same name,why?

    I have uninstalled and installed 3 times.  Each time it loads with many folders on left column with the same name.  What is resolution?

    Do you mean playlist folders or playlists? Reinstalling iTunes does not rebuild the library so it won't tidy up the structure of your library. Recent builds of iTunes have imported any m3u playlists found when scanning the media folders which can cause problems if you've previously generated playlists for all your albums with other software, though in this case the playlists would have different names.
    Have you subscribed to iTunes Match? There is a bug that can sometimes create hundreds of duplicate empty playlists. I've two scripts which might help you clean up: KillEmptyPlaylists and KillTopLevelPlaylists. This post describes a technique for resetting iTunes Match to stop it happening again.

  • Itunes library with more than one account?

    Hi- new mac user here.
    We have all our itunes on the admin user of our imac, but would like to access the files on all user accounts. Is this possible? If so, how?

    revpcox
    If you want the others to be able to play the music then enable Sharing in the Admin iTunes (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iTunes running and use Fast User Switching to open another account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. The Admin Library will appear in the Source pane. Repeat as necessary
    Remember Tunes must be running in the Admin account for this to work.

  • ITunes and Audible Accounts

    I'm a bit confused with these two. I lost one authorization due to a hard drive crash and now I want to reformat my drive to reinstall everything fresh so I want to deauthorized my computer before erasing so can authorize again without loosing another authorization. Went to the Advance menu and clicked on deauthorize my computer and get a message of name and password wrong, meanwhile I'm logged in to view my account on iTunes, are they separate? why should I have two different names and passwords to deauthorize? Makes no sense. Also read that Audible accounts are created for audio books, I don't have nor ever bought audio books, what is this? I never had an Audible password set in the past, only an Apple iTunes account. Can someone explain how are the two linked? and why do I need to deauthorize my computer with a separate company?
    Sure I'm missing something, don't know where .

    Probably better raised with Audible / Amazon - iTunes simply applies their rules for enforcing DRM on usage of Audible (.aa) files.  I don't believe, though, that authorization is applied to an iPod - you just need to be authorize your computer with a specific Audible account to be able to play audiobooks and to sync them.  If you have details of your Audible accounts then I assume you could use Store > Deauthorize Audible Account... several times and each time you get this prompt:
    enter the username and password for each account until they've all been cleared.  Then reauthorize the Audible accounts corresponding to the content in your library.
    I don't think that the details of your Audible accounts are available from within iTunes or in its accessible files.  You can, however, open up an Audible (.aa) file in a suitable editor (I just used TextPad to do this) and you can see your Audible username embedded near the start of the file.

  • ITunes installation probs with anti-virus software?

    After installing iTunes 5.0.1, my iTunes either will not run or it crashes. Also, my iPod now no longer works. It shows nothing but a folder and exclamation point, and iPod Updater does not recognize the iPod and therefore will not allow me to restore it to factory settings.
    Are these problems related to the incompatibility of the iTunes installer with anti-virus software? If so, can anyone suggest a fix for someone using Norton 2005 Internet Security? I tried to use the following 3-step program for addressing this problem at
    Lisa Bissell, "ITunes won't work" #4, 09:12pm Sep 28, 2005 CDT
    1.     Open Norton 2005 Internet Security, click on Personal Firewall, click Configure button, click Programs tab.
    2. Uncheck the Turn on Automatic Program Control box. In the Program window find itunes and change the Automatic setting to Permit All.
    3. Close Norton and restart Windows. itunes should work correctly after that.
    However, my iTunes is not found on Norton’s Program window. When I click on Add and then click on iTunes, the Norton program crashes. Suggestions?
    By the way, I am on week 2 of trying to untangle all of the problems created by the iTunes 5.0.1 installation. I have already implemented the suggestions on the following four sites without success.

    Any help getting my iTunes and iPod back in operation would be much appreciated.

    Ok, b, I'm now on week 3 of trying to get my iTunes and iPod back and wonder if I am any closer to resolution.
    I have tried all three of the sets of recommendations in the links you provided without success. Specifically:
    I've once again reinstalled iTunes (I now have version 6) and deleted all of the suggested Temp files etc.
    I've put my iPod into disk mode and tried to restore it. iPod updater still does not recognize my iPod. Nor does iTunes or Windows (My Computer). In contrast, Windows recognizes my son's iPod mini, but iTunes does not.
    I have run the System Config utility and selected iTunes Helper as the only the startup and iPod Service as the only service. When I restarted my computer, I had no better luck with my iTunes or iPod Updater. In fact, things got worse since I could no longer connect with the internet. So I went back to the old startup method and full range of services.
    I tried to go into Disk Management to change the letter of the network drive, but either Disk Mgmt wouldn't open or, when it did, I didn't see my iPod listed.
    I am also still having occasional difficulties launching iTunes, and having some difficulties using a hard reset to get my iPod off of its "Do Not Disconnect" message. (To accomplish the latter, I often am forced to try 3 or 4 times holding the Select and Menu buttons for 10 plus seconds at a time.) My iPod does nothing more than rotate between Do Not Disconnect and the sad icon.
    I would consider replacing my iPod, except that it is apparent that my problems are being generated by iTunes, considering that my son's iPod is also having problems when I attempt to synch it to iTunes, and it otherwise works fine.
    If you could help me get out of this mess, I would be eternally grateful.

  • How do I move my iPhone to a new iTunes installation?

    Hi folks,
    I have a new Windows 7 computer and want to sync my iPhone with it, but iTunes says it's going to delete all of my data. My old computer that I used to sync with is gone; the drive has been reformatted.
    I don't care about the music on the phone; I have all of that on my server. However, I'm worried sick about my apps and the data stored within them!! I have years worth of life data, journals, etc, in apps on this phone. How do I tell iTunes, "This is my new computer now; back up and sync here from now on?"
    Here's what I've done so far:
    1. I authorized the new iTunes installation with my iTunes account.
    2. I right-clicked on the phone within iTunes and selected "Transfer Purchases." It appeared to work, said it was copying all of my apps. But when I go to the Apps tab and click "Sync Apps", it tells me it's going to replace all of the apps on my phone with the apps in iTunes. However, I only see two (out of dozens) of my apps there! Did "Transfer Purchases" not do what I expected it to? How can I fix this?
    Thank you!

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    The iphone will sync pics and itunes content with one and only one computer at a time.  If you sync to another, it will indeed erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
    Also if you sync contacts/calendars to a blank computer, they will be erased as well.  Another reason a backup is critical.
    If you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good)then, transfer purchases will transfer itunes purchases.  Make sure you have authorized the computer for your itunes account(s).
    About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
    Backup your iphone:
    Backing up, updating, and restoring iPad, iPod touch, and iPhone software
    Enter one unique contact and calendar entry on the new computer.  When you first sync you should get the option to merge the data.
    Than make a backup copy of your computer and always maintain it.

  • Audible Account

    I checked off the box for the Audible application. I then noticed that in iTunes under the Advanced tab there is a "Deauthorize Audible Account". I attempted to deauthorize the account using the P/W I have but it did not like. I then attempted to "Delete" the application but that did not work. I send an e-mail to Audible requesting a new P/W but they did not respond. Does anyone know how I can kill this application?

    I still have the "Deauthorized Audible Account" in bold letter though.
    That's normal. You'll see that in iTunes even if you never had anything to do with Audible at all.
    If you just downloaded the Audible app, you didn't authorize iTunes to an Audible account so there's nothing to have to deauthorize. Only if you attempted to play an audiobook purchased from Audible in iTunes and entered in your Audible account information would it have ever been authorized.
    Regards.
