Ok so i have a new computer and i want all of my songs on it. problem is, i have 2,000 songs on my old computer and i really dont wanna waste a bunch of time downloading them back so i was gonna use homesharing on itunes. another problem is i already have 5 computers authorized for my account. i really cant think of the 5 computers i used to authorize my account besides my old computer, my friend's, and my old laptop. My old laptop is BROKEN so i can't go on itunes to deauthorize it!!! what do i do?! i really can't remember the other 2 computers i used to authorize my account! help me please thanks

Hi songmii,
go into view your account(Store->View Account)
in that screen after you type in your password go to where it says authorizations and to the right you should see, deauthorize all, click that.
after that you just need to authorize the computers you are currently using(Store->Authorize this computer)
that should do it
When I'm saying Store, I mean at the top menu where it says File-Edit-View-Control-Store
hope that helps,
Dane

  • I have a really old iMac and it won't let me download the new firefox but I still have the old one which works so does that mean that they removed the old iMac from the new firefox?????

    My old firefox is version 2.0.0.11 which supports my system.
    The new firefox dosn't

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

  • HT1420 itunes won't let me authorize my computer. There is no option for this in the store menu.

    I recently got a new computer and reached my limit of devices, so I deauthorized all. Now itunes won't let me authorize any of my computers. I've been through the help and there is simply no option for this. Please help.

  • TS1277 My iTunes won't let me authorize my computer. I have Windows 8 and have only 3 devices authorized through my account. What should I do?

    My iTunes account won't let me authorize my computer. I have Windows 8 and have only 3 devices authorized through my account. What should I do?

    Howdy scrafts,
    I would suggest this article named iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1277
    Open Computer from the Start menu.
    From the Organize menu, choose Folder and Search Options.
    Click the View tab.
    In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders," make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
    Click OK.
    Navigate to the following location by either typing it into the address bar, copying and pasting it into the address bar, or clicking through the folder hierarchy listed:C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes
    Right-click the SC Info folder shown and on the shortcut menu, choose Delete.
    Restart the computer.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • My iTunes won't let me authorize my laptop.

    I plug my iPod nano in and iTune won't let me drag songs onto my iPod nano because it says my laptop is not authorized and when I authorize it, it says it already is.

  • How do i sign in to itunes on a new computer if i already have an itunes

    how do i snyc my ipod to a new computer i downloaded itunes and now it wont let me sync with out erasing everything i already have ?? helpp

    - Transfer iTunes purchases:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    newer copy
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.

  • Is there any way for me to get my music off of my iPod?  I had to get a new computer and no longer have my files...but most are cds

    Is there any way for me to get my music off of my iPod? I had to get a new computer and no longer have my files, most of it is cds...

    Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time.  If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
    Before doing anything else,  authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account.  In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
    Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
    iOS: How to back up
    Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc.  For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases.  For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier.  Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
    If you do happen to lose any purchased content, you can always redownload it from the iTunes Store again at no cost via iCloud.  See this article for information.

  • ITunes won't let me authorize my computers

    I'm unable to add my Mac even though I have 4 devices listed . It says I already have 5 computers authorized on the account but it won't show me what they are so I'm unable to de-authorize them.

    Use the Deauthorize All command documented in this article.

  • Adobe won't recognize that I uninstalled CS on old computer, won't let me activate on new computer

    Adobe won't recognize that I uninstalled CS on my old computer, won't let me activate it on new computer.

    Yes, uninstalling is not the same as deactivating. Call support to reset activations.

  • ITunes won't let me download to my computer saying it is associated with a different Apple ID but it is not. Any ideas?

    I have recently purchased a tv series off iTunes and for some reason my iMac won't let me download it to my computer. It aways comes up with the error message
    'You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 17 days'
    The only problem is I haven't changed my Apple ID on the computer and I purchased the items with my Apple ID that is associated with this computer. I had changed my password recently so I was wondering if this could cause the problem? Has anyone else experienced this and do you have any ideas on how to fix it?
    Thanks

    Anyone else use this computer?

  • ITunes won't download to iPod from new computer

    I installed my iPod and iTunes software on my laptop pending the arrival of my new computer. I had no problem downloading music from the laptop and still don't. But after installing the software on my new Dell XPS400 and downloading music to iTunes, iTunes won't hotsync to my iPod. I can't get any of the music off my new computer except by copying it to disc and moving it to my laptop. This is not very efficient. Please help, someone.

  • How to activate new computer when we already have 6

    Hello,
    we activate 6 computers of 6 personn who need to read ebook with drm.
    In order to ease the reading we decide to move to pc-tablet (on windows 8)
    we decided to deactivate three computer by using ctrl+shift+D, but when we want to use it on the tablet it still says that we reach the maximum authorization.
    how can we activate this new computer ?
    best regards
    Thierry

    Malheureusement, le système d'enregistrement ne semble pas toujours remarquer désactivations ,
    et Adobe ne fournit pas une interface Web approprié pour vous de les administrer .
    Adobe Live Chat : http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html ,
    ou comme un léger raccourci essayer http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?product=digital-editions&topic=usi ng - mon -produit ou service
    Choisir un thème '' La signature sur mon compte » , puis cliquez sur« je encore besoin d'aide »;
    alors vous devriez voir « converser avec un agent » au bas de la page .
    Selon la résolution de l'écran , vous devrez peut-être faire défiler vers le bas pour voir le chat avec un agent « peu , un peu moins « Demandez à nos experts .
    «Demandez à nos experts» sera en effet juste vous ramener à ce forum .
    Parfois, vous obtiendrez ' Désolé ! Tous les agents sont occupés , s'il vous plaît vérifier bientôt de retour ».
    Ne pas actualiser la page, juste accrocher et il devrait finalement aller à 'Chat maintenant , et l'agent est disponible .
    Ils peuvent réinitialiser vos autorisations , puis vous devez autoriser à nouveau les périphériques que vous encore besoin .
    ( Malheureusement , Adobe n'a pas obtenu ronde pour un site Web d'administration pour la visualisation et l'édition des autorisations . )
    Certains des représentants n'ont pas été correctement formés et ne savent pas quoi faire ( et réclamer n'y a rien qu'ils peuvent faire ) ;
    dans ce cas, le seul moyen semble être de renoncer à cette discussion et essayer une autre session l'espoir d'un représentant dûment qualifié.
    Si votre problème est avec un autre appareil à l'aide Overdrive , Bluefire , Aldiko ou une application tierce partie semblable , il est recommandé de ne pas mentionner que l'application quand sur le chat , mentionnez simplement que vous avez exécuté des autorisations ( E_ACT_TOO_MANY_ACTIVATIONS ) . Merci à AJP_Bear pour cette astuce .
    Unfortunately the registration system does not always seem to notice deactivations,
    and Adobe does not provide a proper web interface for you to administer them.
    Adobe Live Chat: http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html,
    or as a slight short cut try http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?product=digital-editions&topic=using-my-product-or-ser vice
    Choose topic ‘'Signing into my Account' , and then click on 'I still need help';
    then you should see 'Chat with an Agent' at the bottom of the page.
    Depending on screen resolution, you may need to scroll down a bit to see the Chat with an Agent' bit, just under 'Ask our Experts'.
    'Ask our experts' will indeed just lead you back to this forum.
    Sometimes you will get ‘Sorry! All agents are busy— please check back soon.’
    Don’t refresh the page, just hang on and it should eventually go to ‘Chat Now, and agent is available’.
    They can reset your authorizations, and then you must reauthorize any devices you still need.
    (Unfortunately, Adobe haven’t got round to an admin website for viewing and editing authorizations.)
    Some of the representatives haven't been properly trained and don't know what to do (and claim there is nothing they can do);
    in that case the only way seems to be to give up that chat and try another session hoping for a properly trained representative.
    If your problem is with another device using Overdrive, Bluefire, Aldiko or similar third party app, it is recommended not to mention that app when on the chat, just mention that you have run out of authorizations  (E_ACT_TOO_MANY_ACTIVATIONS) .  Thanks to AJP_Bear for that tip.

  • How do I download my lightroom software onto my new computer when I already have my software on my old computer?

    I purchased a new computer and tried to download my lightroom 4 program onto it. It is still installed on my other lap top. Can some give me some direction on how I can download my software onto my new lap top? Thanks in advance.

    You have to use the same download link or same installer(DVD) to download & use the same serial number(it can be activated two times) to get it activated.
