Lightroom5 unable to authorize Flickr account?
When attempting to authorize my Flickr account in Lightroom 5, I get the following error message "Could not contact the Flickr web service. Please check your Internet connection." I'm using Safari. Lightroom 5 is the only version of Lightroom I have ever had.
I am looking for a solution to fix this problem. Surely there's a solution that would allow me to continue using Safari and not have to download a separate plug-in.
Thanks,
Hah, so this thread ends the same as so many others...someone behind the scenes realizes the oopsie et voila, problem mysteriously disappears into the Internet ether from whence it came.
In all seriousness, though, this issue has been going on since at least a few days. For shared services like this I usually look for other posts to see if anyone else is experiencing the issue within the same timeframe. This was the first thread I found that coincided, and that was already at least day 2 into the issue as far as I could see.
Either way, the timing was unfortunate such it was this weekend that I finally decided to try Flickr out for the first time, and I was really looking forward to using it in conjunction with LR. The steps to get them to work together were very straightforward...but with all the simplicity it still wouldn't work and only made it that much more frustrating. Talk about getting a sour first impression of both the LR software integration and the Flickr service! Being a techie, I still felt compelled to investigate further, looking at my system logs (but not so far as doing packet sniffing) in search of any clues as to what was going on in the communication behind the scenes since the LR error messages were not very descriptive. The jf Flickr plugin at least referred to an HTTP error.
Since I made no changes to my system or to the software, it's reasonable to assume the problem was on the server side.
Ah well, one can't complain too much using a free service...even though I was willing to pay them money for a subscription.
Enjoy!

My computer(A toshiba) crashed and when I bought a new computer(a Mac), my previous apple ID does not word and I was only able to get songs that I bought in 2004. I am unable to authorize my account to get to songs that I purchased recently. Please help.

If you have exceeded your allowance of 5 machines then Apple will not allow you to authorise additional Computers. If you still have access to your old toshiba fire it up de-authorise it and then try again with the new computer.
While this won't help if you are having password problems, I did want to point out that you do not need to access old machines to de-authorize them. Once you are signed in at the iTunes store, access "my account" by clicking on your username in the top navigation bar. Then "manage devices". You can remove any old machines that way. -
Unable to add Flickr account with facebook login
Hi,
rMBP upgraded yesterday to Mountain Lion...trying to add Flickr connection, using Facebook dropdown and I get a blank screen...is this working for anyone?
thanks!Still no resolution on this but I stopped by an Apple Store and confirmed that the same happens on all their Retina MBP's with Mountain Lion installed but does work correctly on the regular MBP's.
I filed feedback with Apple and even called tech support but the call wasn't exactly fruitful. I assume we will have to wait until 10.8.1 for this to be fixed (hopefully not longer).
In the meantime I figured out how to disconnect my Facebook account from Flickr (although I'm not positive that I really had to) and log in with my Yahoo ID instead. I successfully setup Flickr in Mountain Lion using just my Yahoo ID.
The trickiest part for me was figuring out what my Yahoo ID and password were. Turns out it was just my Facebook login email and password. -
podcast app says unable to authorize your account, please contact customer service, is that apple or podcast provider?
In my case, it is a response from ITUNES. I don't have any problems downloading from the site, or accessing the site from any of my devices. But once I get episodes into ITUNES and try to synch, either by USB or WIFI, the Apple devices refuse to play them. My IPOD Touch shows "no unplayed episodes", and my IPAD is the one that shows the warning "Unable to authorize". From both devices, I can manually access the website and download the podcasts as MP3's and play them one at a time, but they never show up in my Podcast library on ITUNES.

Cannot Authorize My Flickr Account in LR4.1 RC2
I am unable to authorize my flickr account in Lightroom. I had long used the LR publishing service to upload my photos to flickr. When I upgraded to LR 4.1 I experienced the same problems as everyone else. I have now upgraded to LR 4.1RC2 and I understand that LR4.1 RC2 corrected the link with Flickr. I no longer get the error message that I had been getting with RC1. However, LR wants me to authorize my account. When I try to do that I get a message that It will take me to a web page in my browser to log in to Flickr. I then tell it to authorize but nothing happens. It does not open a window in my browser. Is there some other way to login to my flicker account through LR so I can get it to authorize? What should I do differently to get LR to publish to my flickr account?
It happend to me also, this is how I fixed it:
1. Go into your flickr services page: www.flickr.com/services/
2. Click on the link "Apps You're Using"
3. You will see a list of apps you are using and should see Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.
4. Click "Remove permission?" next to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and revoke this apps permissions.
5. In Lightroom configure the Flickr publish service: click on the "Authorize" button and your browser will popup again as usual. Authorize and return to lightroom. All fixed
Hope it works for you guys! -
I have 5 devices authorized to my itunes account. 2 of them crashed long ago. Now that I have a new pc, I am unable to authorize it. I think from what I've read that I should "deauthorize all" and then go back and authorize my current 3 devices. Is this correct? I have tons of music and need to make sure I won't lose anything. I would sure appreciate the help! Thanks!!!
No that is not correct.
Devices do not count toward the 5. Authorization is only for computers, not iphone/ipod/ipad/Apple tv.
You do not authorize or deauthorize devices at all.
If you have reached the limit of 5 authorized COMPUTERS, then deauthorize all and the authorize the active COMPUTERS. -
I'm unable to authorize my iTunes account on my computer. Trying to do so results in a message containing "The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable, please try again later" popping up.
Weird thing is that I have no problems if I authorize a different account. Authorizing my account on a different computer also works just fine. I've tried removing iTunes completely (with quicktime and all) and authorizing while my firewall is turned off. None of this helped and I still can't authorize my account on this computer.
I got this error when trying to download items as well but was able to fix this. It was related to Bonjour not starting up correctly.

Tried Hard but unable to authorize as it ask again and again for account details...any solution
Tried Hard but unable to authorize as it ask again and again for account details...any solution
not sure if you found a solution, but i am currently having a problem with playing "street fighting man" on beggars banquet. i'm continuously being asked to authorize my computer, and when i do, the song doesn't play and i'm still asked to authorize my computer.
i have followed the steps described in the apple support page "itunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play itunes store purchases" and none of them worked. i have a PC- windows 7 and the current itunes 10.6.
on my itunes email receipt there is a link "report a problem" and i went through the series of forms and dialog boxes to report a problem. under account, purchase history, one can report a problem of a purchase. -
As mentioned above, I purchased a book and downloaded it on my pc, but I am unable to authorize and transfer this purchase to my other devices. I downloaded bluefire reader per online instructions and added the pdf book file to this app on itunes. When I attempt to authorize the purchase by entering my adobe id, it doesn't work, the authorization window clears the fields I just entered, I enter the information again and the same result.
I tried reviewing my account information but it just came out on itunes home page without showing any thing....

When i go to sign into apple id it says "We apologize but we are unable to verify your account information online". When i go to "Not sure if you have an Apple ID?" It says "We apologize but we are unable to verify your account information online" When i try to sign in with my email it says "you already have an account????
Might I suggest a password reset?
Maybe you can click on the Reset Password link instead of trying to log in at appleid.apple.com.
I'm not sure if that would work, but its worth a try.

Hello All,
I have a strange problem with few Windows server 2008 x64 SP2 machines, where in we are unable to open 'user accounts' from control panel. On opening 'user accounts', a windows explorer window pops up and disappear in a fraction of second.
Tried opening with below command lines and behavior is same as above.
nusrmgr.cpl
control nusrmgr.cpl
RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL nusrmgr.cpl
Could you please assist me in fixing this issue.
Note - Local users and groups MMC opend fine.Hi,
Before going further, would you please let me confirm some questions? If start computer in
Safe Mode, can you launch User Account in the safe mode? Meanwhile, please make sure if there are some Group Policy settings that block the user account.
After confirmation, please logon as administrator (if you didn’t use the admin account) and then check if this issue still exists. Meanwhile, please
run
sfc /scannow
command to scan missing or corrupted system files and repair them.
In addition, please compare the "System" registry key in the problematic machine with another machine working properly.
The path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System.
If there are some missing, please export keys from a machine that work properly and import it into the malfunctioning machine.
Please note: before operations, please backup those registry to avoid unexpected issues.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu
