ITunes says I have the max (5 computers) authorized, but I only have one..

Upgrading my operating system and re-installing iTunes on my PC and it says I cannot authorize this version of iTunes because I already have the maximum number of computers (5) authorized.  As far as I know, I only have one.  How can I somehow "reset" my iTunes account so that other older computers I may have had in the past are no longer authorized?

You need to Deauthorize all then authorize what you want.

  • 3 computers authorized, but i only have 1

    i just went through the iPod **** of the 2.3 update, restored, etc, and had to "play" a purchased song to get them all on my iPod. fine -- but why am i getting a msg that i've authorized 3 computers when this is my first and only that i've used iTunes on? i read the threads about being able to deauthorize when you've auth... 5 -- but why does apple think i have 3? thanks.

    that was helpful -- thanks. here's what happened:
    under my account, itunes had my name, phone, and credit card -- but some other random address in ft lauderdale. i deauthed my computer until it said i couldn't do it anymore, but my account still showed additional auths.
    scary, so i emailed itunes support as well as called apple.
    calling was useless. the guy there told me that it couldn't be possible that you had to use all 5 auths before deauthing all. that it was silly. he went to "check on that" and came back telling me that authing is important to protect the artists. i told him i didn't want a piracy schpeel. useless.
    i just got an email from itunes, they have, in fact, unauthorized all of the computers associated with my account.

  • 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. 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.

    Hello Mshlanta,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    iOS 7 requires iTunes version 11.1. If your software updates are not seeing the update for whatever reason, you can download and install it directly from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Keep in mind the requirements to download iTunes 11.1:
    Macintosh System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
    OS X version 10.6.8 or later
    400MB of available disk space
    Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
    And
    Windows System Requirements
    PC with a 1GHz Intel or AMD processor and 512MB of RAM
    Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
    400MB of available disk space
    Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • HT3819 iTunes is saying it cannot import media because the computer is not authorized, but it has been authorized. Help!

    I am trying to share my iTunes library and have Home Sharing turned on both computers with the same Apple ID and have the second computer authorized, but when I try to import media, iTunes is telling me the computer is not authorized. Help!

    The computer needs to be authorised to play with whatever Apple ID purchased the music. You may need each computer to be authorised with all Apple IDs.
    Have a look at the get info summary page of the media and see what Apple ID purchased it. Then authorise the computer with that Apple ID
    Store > Authorise this computer
    This is separate from the Home Sharing element

    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.
