Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
  1. Open iTunes on a computer
  2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
  3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
  4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
  5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

  • Two Versions of Itunes on same Computer

    Hey guys, my brother has an Ipod and I'm going to get one. I was wondering if Windows can run two Itunes on the same computer. Since Itunes goes with a certain Ipod, I just wanted to know if I install it will it delete his Itunes, or will it not show up at all for me.
    Thanks

  • 2 different iTunes on same computer

    recently my sister bought and iPod. we have only 1 good computer, but i don't want all of her songs to go on my smaller iPod. is there a way to have 2 different iTunes programs on the same computer so she can control what goes into her ipod??
    we have already tried downloading for the web and the cd that came with her iPod, but it only updated my existing iTunes. please help

    There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Have a look at the article linked below. Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Method two is to set your preferences so each iPod is updated with only certain playlists within one library. Method two is a good way to go if you have a smaller iPod, you can create a playlist especially for it and just add and remove songs from it as you like without removing them from the iTunes library. You can even have each iPod set differently, one updating the whole library and the other just a selected play;ist: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer

  • Itunes Library, same computer

    Hi, my macbook pro 2008 crashed, just before it crashed, I backed it up via time machine. I had a Iphone 3g, it was backed up to both icloud and that computer. It didn't crash but the battery life was so short after two years it was useless.
    So I buy a new 2012 macbook pro and an iphone 5
    I start the new macbook pro from timemachine and it's basically the same computer as the 2008 one, except that it is ridiculously buggy and HD space is dissappearing (and it took about 25 minutes to start)
    The iphone 5 I started from the backup of the iphone 3, and it too was insanely buggy, with about 1 hour and 15 minutes of battery life.
    So I reset the iphone 5, now it works, get 24 hours or so of battery life.
    I back up everything important, and reset my Macbook Pro! Yay, takes a minute to start, everything runs faster and no dissappering HD space.
    I get asked my icloud account, I sign in, and I sign in with my mac id. Yay, everything installs.
    I go to itunes, and I can't retrieve anything I've bought. The Iphone is backed up to ICLOUD, but not to the computer.
    I buy a few songs, I get the following
    "The iPhone “my iPhone” is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?
    An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
    Will i lose my icloud backup of the iphone if I do this? I have bought apps for hundreds of dollars.
    I use the same APPLE ID, never done anything sneaky, why is apple punishing me for buying new things?
    Where can I yell at someone?
    Thanks for all your help

  • More then one itunes on same computer?

    My sister and I have our own iPod nanos but we share the same computer. Is there a way to have two itunes on the same computer? Or are there any suggestions on how to manage our music separately, since we have no intentions of sharing music with eachother (we have very different tastes in music)? Thanks!

  • Itunes on same computer in windows and mac

    Is there an easy way to transfer my iTUnes Library on my Macbook Pro to my iTunes Library on my Windows Partition on the same computer without sharing?  i don't want to have my library stored "twice" taking up space, but want to be able t listen to my music when I have to work in Windows.

    NTFS is a Microsoft file system. How would Apple "fix" access to NTFS? If you must share data between OSx and Windows, use a drive formatted exFat.

  • Using 2 versions of itunes on same computer

    I currently have a Mini using Version 5.?, having upgraded and had problems in the past with the various Quicktime versions that accompany it. I want to stick to this version.
    I have bought my daughter a nano - which will need a different version of itunes.
    Can she install it on her desktop of same computer without effecting my installation? Or should she install it on her brothers lap top? You can hear the arguments already!!!

    she shouldn't have to upgrade anything with respect to itunes. the nano only needs version 4.9 to run properly:

    ... but it's probably worth upgrading your ipod software:

  • Create new iTunes on same computer

    I have an iPod and an iPad. I don't want the same songs from the iPod to be on the iPad. How do I create a new iTunes account on the same computer for my iPad?

    You really dont need to create a new iTunes account at all. You simply need to select the muisc for each device that you want to sync. You can change your sync options as often as you like as explained here.
    iOS: Syncing with iTunes
    You can select the Sync Only Checked Songs and Videos in the Summary Tab of iTunes.
    This screen shot shows you how you can select the albums or playlists that you want to sync to your iDevices,

  • How do I set up my second Ipod and itunes library (same computer)?

    I recently filled up my first Ipod, and want to load my second Ipod's software on the same computer without causing interference and problems with my first ipod and library. How do I load my second ipod's software and create a library just for it, without the libraries becoming confused, or not recognizing ipods, or double copying songs?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Confused about multiple iTunes on same computer

    Hiya- I've read as much as I can on multiple iTunes/libraries/accounts and I'm even more confused.
    I have one drive partition with all my music which I use as my iTunes library. My wife and I each have our own Windows logins/accounts and access iTunes from each account (sharing the same music folder). This is what I want to do: when I add newly-acquired music to iTunes on my Windows account (i.e. drag new albums onto iTunes and have it copied to iTunes library), I want my wife's iTunes to automatically update its library to see the new albums I've added.
    I hope that makes sense. I'm either over-complicating this issue and there's an easy/obvious solution or it can't be done (?) Thanks for any help.

    Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    As I see it the scenario is this:
    An iTunes Library at C:\Users\<User1>\Music\iTunes
    An iTunes Library at C:\Users\<User2>\Music\iTunes
    both of which point to media at some shared location which for the sake of argument we shall call <Shared>\iTunes Media.
    (I've assumed <Shared> is not either of the first two folders, neither of which contain a media folder. If the assumption is false post back and I'll give different instructions)
    In this case choose one of the two libraries to be "the one" which both accounts will use from now on. Copy the contents of the iTunes folder from that account into the <Shared> folder. Click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and continue to hold down SHIFT until asked to choose or create a library. Choose the library file in the <Shared> folder. Test that all works well. Close iTunes. Since your <Shared> folder is unlikely to be called iTunes, the main iTunes window will probably have had a weird title just now. Create a new folder called C:\iTunes and move everything iTunes related from <Shared> into it, i.e. the library files called *iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, sentinel* and the *Album Artwork* and *iTunes Media* folders. You can delete any .xml files as one will be recreated automatically. Now use the SHIFT-start-iTunes method to open the library at C:\iTunes. Test that all is still well. Close iTunes, switch profiles, use the SHIFT-start-iTunes method to open the library at C:\iTunes. Hooray, both profiles are now using the same library. Any updates you make using one profile will be visible when you open the library with the other.
    One possible drawback. If you use the fast user switching method to flip between accounts then you have to remember to close iTunes before swicthing otherwise the second user will find the library is locked.
    You might also find the following tip useful:
    *How to use multiple iPods with one computer*
    The Apple support document How to use multiple iPods with one computer suggests a number of ways. I use method two (Sync with selected playlists) with a slight twist. Rather than regular playlists I set the grouping field to indicate which users should receive which tracks and create smart playlists based on the content of this field.
    e.g.
    "Alice's Tracks" is "Grouping contains Alice" + "Kind contains audio"
    "Bob's Videos" is "Grouping contains Bob" + "Kind does not contain audio"
    Tracks that both Alice & Bob want on their iPods have the grouping set to "Alice/Bob"
    etc.
    I currently manage our family's five iPods using this system, each getting a different selection to suit their tastes and the capacity of their iPod. An advantage of using the grouping field is that it is stored in file tags (for non-wav audio files anyway) so that it is relatively easy to recreate the playlists should the iTunes library get trashed. Also useful if you move files about manually as playlist membership is preserved when you delete & re-import the tracks.

  • Moving music to second drive - keeping iTunes on same computer

    I am going to move my iTunes music to another drive on the same Windows XP computer I have now. I will keep the iTunes base location (library file) on my current location and will only move the music itself. I'll change the itunes option to point to the new music location. I don't want to lose my playlists. Will this work?

    #1 Create a new folder on another drive that will hold your music in future
    #2 In iTunes preferences Advanced point the music folder location to this new folder
    #3 From iTunes Menu Advanced choose: "Consolidate Library..."
    Now all your audio tracks will be copied to that new location.
    Check if everything went fine - then you may delete your old "iTunes Music" folder.
    Don't touch or move your "Library" files!

  • Homesharing wont appear on itunes on same computer. HELP??

    Hi,
    I'm having considerable trouble in getting homesharing to work on my computer.

  • Separate iTunes account, same computer??

    My brother just bought an iPhone (jealous of mine). He wants to use my Mac to setup an iTunes account. I already have one on my Mac under my name. My question is: Is there any way he can put his music on his iPhone without interfering with my iTunes music catalogue? (We have WAAAAAAAAY different tastes in music!!)

    Simply create a new computer login on the computer for him.
