Itunes saying I have my music authorized on more computers than I do
I recently sent my computer in to be repaired, and before I did I unauthorized all computers to my music, even though I only keep music on my personal computer. When I got it back I re-authorized my music onto just my computer, and it tells me I have used 5/5 authorizations. Is there anyway I can fix this, as I am sure I only have it on the one computer i use daily.
thanks much,
Kevin
Your best bet is to contact the music store about this by email at http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/musicstore/authorization/
If you do have 5 authorized, you can goto your account and deauthorize ALL computers by using the "Deauthorize all" button. This button will appear when you have 5 authorized PC and can only be used once a year. so once you do use it. You will not have the option to use it again til next year

iTunes says I have authorized five computers so I can no longer play music I have purchased. I have not replaced my computer once. Why does iTunes say this?
Hey Christownsend,
Thanks for the question. To troubleshoot this issue, you may want to try deauthorizing all computers:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
To deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID
If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
1. Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
2. If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
3. Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
4. In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).
Thanks,

iTunes says I have 2.5 gigs of music on my iPhone 5s but my iPhone says I have no content. Any idea where my music went to? I deleted all my music and started fresh with no music. I uploaded several artists worth of music to my iPhone from iTunes and synced the phone. It seems to load from iTunes to the phone but when I disconnect from my comp it's all gone.
Hi Tim
iTunes will not import non-iTunes purchases from iOS devices. If you still have your old computer you can transfer your iTunes library to your new one.

If not you will need third party software such as this:

I have a 6th generation ipod nano, When i plug it into the itunes it shows the music i have on there, but when i disconnect it says i have no music. What do i do?
You may want to do a Restore on the iPod in iTunes. The Restore button is on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes. This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings. If the problem is caused by data corruption in the iPod's storage, a Restore should fix it.

Hello, I have a little problem with my ipod (3rd generation): I restored my iPod because of problems of wi-fi, then synced my music on itunes and then on my ipod. The problem is that I still do not have wi-fi and my ipod says I have no music. Help me!
No. In fact, my ipod detects the livebox and the network but I can not connect to the internet.

ITunes says I have 2 computers authorized but I really have 3
iTunes says I have 2 computers authorized (iPod Touch and MacBook Pro). However, until recently, I had 3 computers authorized but my iMac mysteriously disappeared from the list a few days ago. When I try to authorize my iMac, iTune says it's already authorized. Why did my iMac computer disappear from the list and how do I get it back on the list so I can continue to update Apps, etc, on my iMac?
Even though my iMac wasn't appearing in the authorized computer list, I tried to de-authorize it and this evening it worked. It actually de-authorized the computer. Yesterday I tried this same step and iTunes didn't allow me to de-authorize. After I de-authorized, I authorized the iMac. However, the iMac still wasn't appearing in the authorized computer list. I logged out of iTunes.
As a last resort, I decided to play a t.v. movie I had purchased on this computer using my one an only iTunes account. After I played a couple of minutes of the movie, I stopped it and logged into my iTunes account.
Hurray, finally my iMac is appearing in the authorized computer list and I'm able to update my purchased apps on my iMac. -
ITunes says I have App updates- but will not update.
I have restarted iTunes, the computer, downloaded the new update (8.1.1 is it?), and tried a million times. But no matter what, iTunes says I have 6 App updates. So I click on the "6 Updates Available" button, but all I get it that all of my app have been updated.
I also thought that it might have to do with the fact that I had Apps that were my sister's put on my account using that whole "Authorize Computer" thing. Both of the computers are authorized. So I had her update hers, but it's still not working.
So if anyone has anything that can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

How I fixed the problem was to "select all" of my apps in itunes and right click and delete, but keeping my files. The 1 update went away. So I synced my ipad, and transfered my apps from the ipad back to the computer.
By keeping the files when deleting them in iTunes then syncing them back from the iPad, you should now have two of all your apps in Music> iTunes> iTunes Media > Mobile Applications. -
iTunes says my computer isn't authorized to play one of the songs I just downloaded, but all the rest of them work. That song works on my iPad so why won't it work on my computer or my iPod? It says my computer isn't authorized to play that song so I type in my password and it pops up with a menu saying my computer is already authorized and it skips to the next song. No matter what I do it won't play that song on my laptop or my iPod.
Could be a Corrupt download of that song...
If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music...
Delete the Song(s) and re-download...

How does one fix the problem of iTunes saying my computer is not authorized to play songs I've recently purchased, even though I continue to sign in for authorization? This is bullcrap.
Okay, that sounds like the dodgy tracks have been getting damaged during the download.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items. -
When I try to sync my apps from my computer on to my iphone 4 Itunes says the computer is not authorized. I then authorize it and it tells me it is already authorized. I again try to sync the apps and it will once again tell me it is not authorized. I can sync music just not the apps
You are my hero thank you it worked!!!!!! I was afraid to deauthorize in case I lost everything but I figured I would follow your advice....Thank you so much

Hey! I downloaded a movie from itunes yesterday. I watched the beginning of it and now i wanna go on, but itunes says that it´s not authorized for this computer. But i watched it on this computer. So, what can i do? thanks!
Log out of the iTunes Store on your device:
Settings>iTunes & App Store...tap your Apple ID, then select "Sign Out"
Reset your device:
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
After the device has restarted, sign back in to the App Store as above. -
ITunes says i have 15.4GB of photos on my iPhone even though my Photo Library is empty
Exactly what the title says. iTunes says i have 15.4GB of photos on my iPhone even though my Photo Library only has a couple of photos in it that obviously don't take up that much space. I tried unselecting "Sync Photos from..." in iTunes and syncing my iPhone that way, but nothing happened. The two photos remained in the Photo Library, and iTunes continues to say i have 15.4GB of photos. What gives?
You cannot.
There a re not duplicates on your iphone. Just as a song is in your music library and that exact same song can be accessed from a playlist, all photos synced to iphone are in the photo library and those exact same pics ( not duplicates) can be viewed from the folders/albums.
This is how Apple handles photos. -
Can I use more than 1 device ie iPod and iPhone on the same iTunes account and have different music on them
Yes. Use the option to sync with selected playlists on the music tab when your devices are connected.

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.
