ITunes says I have a new computer authorized... but I only upgraded!

Hello, folks! My name is Lauren and I have a problem.
I just upgraded to iTunes 7.0.1 on my computer, running Windows XP.
I need to download some Halloween songs, and figured now was as good a time to update iTunes as any. So I did.
I restart, get into iTunes, buy the songs from the store and... what's this?
"You have now authorized 2 out of 5 computers." Ummm... but this is the same one that had been authorized before.
I last bought music a few days ago. Nothing's changed. Not my computer, setting, no weird internet stuff... Nothing. I'm on my usual computer.
I hope this isn't a bug in this new version? If so, a lot of people might get screwed over on their music. ;_; I love my music so.
Also, what can I do to get this fixed? I couldn't find an email link for this type of problem anywhere, so these forums were my next best bet.
Thanks in advance,
Lauren

Nothing to worry about.
Just deauthorize it a few times, then reauthorize.

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.
If for some reason you have failed to backup, not good, then you can redownload some purchases in some countries.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

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?

I have a sync key, and have a new computer terminal, but when I enter the account details I created, it syncs nothing with my new computer. How do I fix this? There is nothing showing up when I sync with the sync key from my old terminal.

I recently had to do a wipe on my laptop. I saved the sync key but there was no mention of a sync account prior to doing the wipe. I saved the key and when I did the wipe it asked me to make an account, which I had not done, but now I am seeing no where to put in a sync key code. did they make them unusable now or something?

You are probably trying to use old Sync with Firefox newer than version 29,
and they did make old Sync unusable on fresh installations of newer Firefox.
You can uninstall that newer Firefox, then install Firefox 29 from here:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/29.0.1/
Apply your sync key code, then update that installation to current Firefox,
then migrate to new Sync:

If i don't have the computer i set up itunes on and i need to back up my iphone and itunes says i have five computers already authorized (which i can't believe we had five before) how can i deactivate an old one so we can access it now

we have an iphone 4s. It needs to reset as the vibration has stopped. We have a new computer that does not have itunes. It will not allow us to set it up as it says we have five other computers we have set it up with ( i dont think we have owned that many ) but we dont have them anymore. How can we delete or gain access now from the new computer. Is it counting the five as we have ipods that have access. Any help would be welcomed. The phone is only a few months old.
thanks in advance

If you no longer have, or access to, the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
Log in to iTunes, go to "view your account info" on the itunes store, deauthorise all five, (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months) and then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time.

Icloud says I have multiple versions of outlook but can only find 1

icloud says I have multiple versions of outlook but I can only find 2013.

Did you have a previous version of Outlook on your machine?

ITunes says I have more than 5 authorized computers - help!

We have already tried to "deauthorize all" as suggested on the support page. And since you may only do that once per year, it is not an option. The iTunes Store says only one computer is authorized, yet my iTunes account says I have more than 5. This prevents me from accessing some of my iTunes purchased material, though not all.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for the quick response! I'll do that. I have discovered in the meantime that the only items affected are the free downloads. Other purchased items -- including two I just downloaded -- are just fine.
Odd. But workable.

Apple ProRes QuickTime Decoder - Both types say I have "a newer version installed", but I can't view Pro-Res files on either type of machine.

I'm trying to view a Pro-Res file from Final Cut Pro on machines that have Quicktime Pro, but having no luck. I've tried installing the "
Apple ProRes QuickTime Decoder " for both Windows and Mac (on the correct machines), but I keep getting "You already have a newer version of this installed" on each machine, and can't finish. Needless to say, the Pro-Res file will not play on either machine, and there seems to be no way to remove a "newer version" and install this one. Thanks for any suggestions.

Rob,
There is no quicktime folder there. And no quicktime program is installed when I try to install iTunes. The only reason I tried installing quicktime in standalone was because the itunes install was not actively going to the quicktime part of its installation.
I've tried removing everything and only installing iTunes. But even after deleting the physical files, using the WIndows Install cleanup tool, and cleaning up my registry, the quicktime portion of the iTunes install doesn't complete, and I keep getting "unknown" errors from the crash prevention program, and from what I can see it's because there's no physical Quicktime program installed.
As for other accounts, no I cannot start it up with other accounts, I keep getting the "Unknown" error and there is no physical files for quicktime anywhere.
And selective startup doesn't seem to work as there is NO qttask option when I run selective startup.
So, I seem to be out of options, and thing else I could try?

The App Store says I have Pages 5.0 installed, but I only have 4.3.

The Apple App Store says that I already have Pages 5.0 installed, and my Pages app is up to date. But when I look in my "about Pages" it says I only have 4.3. This is a problem because I can't open any of my documents that I put in the icloud, because I have to have Pages 5.0. But I was able to put them there using 4.3. Please tell me wha the heck is going on.

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

Ok so my computer broke so I can no longer use my iTunes. I have a new computer now. Is there a way where I wont lose all my music

My computer broke and I can't use iTunes anymore. I recently got another computer and I don't want to lose all my music. Is there a way I can keep it on the new itunes

So if I have no computer backup that's means I've lost everything?
No. Copied from my previous post.
There are some 3rd party utilities that provide for transfering music that was not purchased from the iTunes Store from an iPhone along with photos on the iPhone that were transferred from your computer. Keep in mind that photos on the iPhone that were transferred from your computer were optimized for viewing on the iPhone - the original resolution of the photos was reduced. The original resolution of these photos will be lost in the process

Itunes says i have the iphone...but i have an ipod touch.

When I select my ipod in itunes to look at its review (where it shows the capacity info and whether or not it needs an update, etc that kind of stuff) it says "iPhone" at the top and tells me "your iphone software is up to date..." blah blah blah. i have a 3rd gen ipod touch...? i don't know if it has always said that and i'm just now noticing or what.
EDIT: I just finished a sync and it even said "iphone sync complete" at the top. whaaaat?! i'm pretty sure that it has always said "ipod."

AND, it's also taking forever to sync and back up. it was giving me the error message that it could not load data from sync services or something like that but that went away after i unplugged it and plugged it back in. it's still taking forever to sycn though. gahh what is going on? :/

Well I know that I didn't get any responses but I thought I'd just let people know that after not having it plugged in all night and plugging it in in the morning, everything is back to normal. It says "iPod" again and tells me that my "iPod" has finished syncing. What happened last night maybe was some sort of temporary bug? I don't know.

HT1222 im trying to updatemy iphone but it keeps saying i have to restore the phone,but it only comes up with restore and update togeather.i cannot use my phone at all as it has the itunes plug in symbol on the phone and will not turn off??

Try all of this:
- Other USB port.
- Other USB cable
- Other computer.
If this not worked. Put iPhone in to DFU mode. And restore.

Mail app says I have 8554 new mail messages but my mailbox is empty om my iPhone 4S

my iphone 4s mail app shows that i have 8554 emails but my mailbox is all empty. it started doing this after i did the software update to the newest version on 2-20-2014. I was deleting old messages and then it started. How do I fix this? I deleted my email account and then put it back on and it still shows 8554 emails.

Okay I figured it out. I downloaded CleanApp. I dragged Mail.app to it as if I were going to uninstall it, and unchecked the app itself. I then deleted all the other files, and restarted Mail.app.
Everything's back to defaults.

Any ideas?

You're gonna have to force the phone into recovery mode:
Turn your phone off. If you cannot turn off your phone using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When your phone turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons. Then, leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

My "storage" says I have 48 gigs of audio, but I only have 33 gigs of music stored?

Topic

Because I took exactly 33 gigs off of my external hard drive and put into Itunes. Itunes also reads 33 gigs. But the "storage" section on "about my mac" is reading 48.
