Itunes says I have 4 computers authorised I only have two

I have had to re-enter my itunes info on two computers (desktop and a netbok).
However the first desktop got a virus and had to be wiped, thus i had to re-do i itunes. Then we got a new computer recently and I had to put a new itunes on it. Thus itunes thinks there are 4 computers with my info on it, whn actually there are only two. How do I get my account to reflect 2 computers instead of 4 please?
And do I have to re-subscribe to my podcasts for them top start refreshing again?
And my apps are now in the "open with itunes"folder. Is this correct and ok?
Thanks for you help.
Oh, system is Windows7. The itunes is 10-something (not the latest one, the one before that i think).

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.

  • Why does iTunes say I have two different total numbers of movies?

    On the sidebar, it lists 371 Movies. When I'm in Movies with everything listed, the number at the bottom next to total number of hours is 372 Movies. 372 Movies is the correct number of movies. I have all of those movies also loaded into iTunes on my laptop running 10.7. These are all movies which are hosted locally on a hard drive; none of them are iCloud downloads or matches. So why does it think I have 1 less movie on the side bar? Is there a way to find out if one particular film hasn't loaded properly or can't be read for some reason? Thanks

    The sidebar lists # of unplayed (not completed) items.
    They should have a blue dot (not played) or half blue dot (started but not completed) next to the name.

  • 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,
    Matt M.

  • 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.

  • 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,
    Andrea

    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 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?

    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.

    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.

    You seem to have tried everything, and you say it's syncing fine on your Dad's iMac, so I assume, you have also  done a Disk Diagnostic from an earlier post by tt2 and conclude that your iPod Hardisk is good.
    You don't have to use it as a heavy paperweight, the problem is only using your Windows 7 machine for syncing.
    In your troubleshooting steps, did you try to use another High-Speed USB 2.0 port, USB controller resource are very scarce, so if you use other USB devices, while syncing your iPod, it may just freeze.
    Windows have a bad reputation for device conflict, so better don't connect other  USB devices, while syncing, better sync it while disconnected from Internet, stop antivirus just before you go to bed.
    Have a nice day!

    No, sorry... did not happen becasue no such model exists.
    If the device is in recovery mode, any data on it is already lost. 
    The only options are:
    Restore the device to get it functional.
    Enjoy the paper weight.
    For what reason did you attempt to update the device without first ensuring that your data was safe, meaning backing up the device and copying important pictures/videos taken with the device to a computer?

    What country are you in ? If you are in the US then you quite possibly have to add your state's sales tax onto the listed price.

  • Not enough free space when there is - iTunes says I have over 9GB free but when I sync it says I can't as i don't have enough storage and need another 1.3GB!  it's driving me mad!!  help!!

    Check carefully. Perhaps you are trying to copy 9 GB plus 1.3 GB for a total of 10.3 GB. That would give you the message you see.

  • ITunes says I have certain apps on my iPad, but I can't access them on my actual iPad...

    iTunes says I have certain apps on my iPad, but I can't access them on my actual iPad. This happened after plugging it in to my iMac. Can this be fixed, or do I have to re-download those apps not appearing on my iPad?

    I assume that you've checked all your homescreens by swiping the screen to the left, and that you havn't filled up the maximum number of screens, which I think is 12 (in which case you will only be able to find them via the search screen - and have you tried typing in their names on the search screen ?).
    Also how did you install them : by syncing from your computer or downloading them straight onto the device ? If you synced them then if Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps is set 'off', then change it to 'on'.
    You could also try a reset to see if they appear after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • 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.

  • Why does itunes say i have the latest version 4.2.1 (8c148) for my 3rd gen iPod touch when it should be iOS 5?

    why does itunes say i have the latest version 4.2.1 (8c148) for my 3rd gen iPod touch when it should be iOS 5?

    Be sure it is really a 3rd gen. Some people with 2nd gens were told they were 3rd gens.  Identifying iPod models or Look up specs by Serial Number. If it is a 2nd gen, then you can't upgrade.
    IF IT REALLY IS A THIRD GEN iPod Touch, then you first need to upgrade to iTunes 10.5 in order to download iOS 5 because older versions of iTunes don't support and can't sync with iOS 5.
