My PC crashed. Before crash I had it an office Mac, an iPhone, an iPod and an iPad. That's 2 computers and 3 deivces.  Or is it 5 authorized devices?  Anyway, since the PC crash I bought an iMac and my office Mac was replaced by a MacBook pro.  I moved my iTunes files from my office Mac to my MacBook.  I moved my PC iTunes files to my iMac from my unaffected external hard drive.
I am now totally confused regarding what is authorized and what is not!  Only three devices appear in my iTunes account.  I "removed" the PC.  Still I am told that I can't download MY apps to my new iMac because I have 5 authorized computers.  Really?  Actually I have NO authorized computers.  Only one that has my apps still (my office Mac).
If I deauthorize all I know I can start fresh.  That makes sense.  What has be balking at the idea is the "one time per year" deauthorization!  What is the point?  Give me an accurate list allow me to deauthorization and authorize the devices I wish.  It is MY account with MY purchases,
Advice please?

Authorization ONLY applies to computers.  NOT ipads/iphones.ipod/Apple tvs.  ONLY computers.
Deauthorize all, then authorize the active computers.

  • I don't have very much space left on my iCloud backup. I had a previous iPhone, my current iPhone and my iPad that are all connected to one cloud. Can I delete the backup from my previous iPhone? Will it delete in the cloud AND on the phone?

    I had a previous iPhone, my current iPhone and my iPad that are all connected to one cloud. Can I delete the backup from my previous iPhone? Will it delete in the cloud AND on the phone? or does it just delete from iCloud? or does it just delete from the phone? Someone please help!

    You can delete the backup without any problem. Only the backup will be deleted from iCloud and nothing else will be deleted, so you can do it without worrying about losing data on iCloud or your devices

  • Firefox crashes before it starts

    since 01/01/2012, i can´t use firefox anymore because it crashes before i can open it. everything i see is a pop-up window which says that I can report it to you.
    i already tried everything which is written on your support page (trying to open it in safe mode e.g.), but it still crashes then.
    my antivirus programme told me, there was a file with kind of a virus the day, when firefox crashed for the first time

  • HELP.. System crashed before i can deactivate my Adobe Acrobat 8

    My system crash before i could deactivate my acrobat..
    IBM has since replaced a new HDD with Vista on it and i have since tired to reinstall Adobe Acrobat 8.0 with my serial No.
    I keep getting a message stating that my serial no has already been used (or something within that line)... how do i get it to work..
    Please help
    Justin

    Each commercial copy of Acrobat 8 was usable by the same person on two computers via the activation process, Adobe manages. When you try to activate a third time a dialog box comes up with a telephone number for you to call. You need to call the number, explain the circumstance, and then Adobe will grant you another activation. There is nothing anyone here can do to help you.

  • Ever since updating to 6.0, my internet crashes, my app store crashes, EVERYTHING crashes.  It's very annoying to say the least.  How can I get the old version back????

    I'm getting really annoyed that my iPod keeps crashing thanks to 6.0.  When is this going to get fixed or how can I get the previous version back??

    I had a iPod 4G and it suffered crashes after upgrading to iOS6, especially in the App Store and iTunes store. Safari often crashed as well, but it occurred same as before I upgraded.
    My iPod barely had any apps on it, having only 3GB used of 6.5GB available space (I had 8GB version).
    I got the new iPod Touch 5th generation a few days ago and it works perfectly. Never had a single crash running any app, game, or store.
    This has led me to believe that iOS6 was primiarily for the new line of devices and not really optimized for the previous generation. Thus, I think that iOS6 may be the last highest supported OS for the iPod-4 and the iPhone-4 and 4S and future operating systems will not be compatible with the previous generation. 

  • I have obsolete computers attached to my appleid when I try to add the new computers to my itunes store and purchases to keep all data updated and together....and not have to repurchase.  I had a fire...thus, old computers are gone and I cannot unauthoriz

    I have obsolete computers and devices attached to my appleid.  I cannot deauthorize them as they are gone!!!  (Had a fire and had to replace all tech systems)  Because I spent alot of monies on my purchases, it would be nice to be able to combine all these items and not have to repurchase them.  How can I update the current number of computers and correct ipods, ipads and iphones together; and get rid of all old computers and ipods, iphones that are authorized under the appleid I have always used.  I have asked this question before, but received no support or answers.  I do have icloud and mobileme, but cant sychonize them either. 
       I am also seriously considering purchasing a mac, and no longer using the windows pc\s as too many tech difficulties arise when I tackle complicated projects regarding DVD and moving making.  However, I still require pc software for my work.  Will my current backup network system convert easily?  Can it be converted?  Will I require a tech and if so, how much will this cost?  I have recently invested a large sum into creating a network and backup system that has yet to be working as it should.  Unfortuneately it has left me with very little left to try to convert to the mac systems entirely.  Please answer my questions in a language that I can understand.....as this problem is affecting my household, organization and office techniques.  Would like to take care of this problem once and for all.  Mac seems to work with my creative desires much better.  Will await your response.....Thank you.

    If you no longer have 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.

  • I just had my FireFox updated after a major crash with at least over 80 tabs in 2 windows total, which it worked fine before crashing, but now my bowser crashes at random clicks on avrious websites & small group reloads. What is wrong and can it be fix?

    The tabs I had were at YouTube, DeviantART, and other websites that are picture sites, or just image heavy. I usually leave my browser open while my laptop is in hibernation mode, as to try to avoid closing them as I tend to build up tabs and it would be a pain to wait and load everything. This has cause some crashes in the past, but those were less frequent than what I am experiencing now after the latest update. My browser seems to act more frail after that big crash I had. I did tried to reload my windows in tab, while cutting off the wireless so it wouldn't be too big of rush of loadtime, but it still crashed and does it constantly now. I can barely watch a 10-minute video or any multi task without the browser just crashing at random loads or clicks. Also, I notice whenever I write comments on Youtube, the browser lags and sometimes freezes.
    It works better after I restart my computer, but that' s only a temporary fix.

  • HT204406 Since updating to ios6 on my iPhone 4S iTunes Match has not worked. The app stays open for about five seconds before crashing. With ios5 it was great and worth paying for. Now it is utterly useless. Apple, please listen and fix this problem.

    Ever since I updated to ios 6 on my iPhone 4S, iTunes Match has not worked.
    I have been through the process of deleting my iTunes control files, and that worked temporarily, but now I cannot listen to music through the service.
    It shows my artists and albums, then takes forever to access the songs (often more than 10 minutes - and yes, that's using WiFi), more often than not crashing before it gets to that point, then repeatedly crashing when I try to open the Music App, so I can't even access things I've downloaded.
    Has anyone else found a solution?
    Apple, please listen up - I am paying you for the iTunes Match service that is utterly useless. Fix it please.

    After some troubleshooting, I decided to order a new battery.  I replaced the battery and was then able to get it to restore, however--after I restore it and it comes time to restart the phone, it gets stuck and doesn't turn on.
    Sorry, your repair ruined the iPhone.
    She does not have apple care and even though she loved this device, she isn't going to buy another iPhone because of all the problems shes had with this one (it's just over a year old).
    After you ruined the iPhone with DIY, Apple won't touch it anymore. You should have asked before all these had happened.
    I'm an android user myself and I love rooting/flashing new ROMS, so if jailbreaking her phone or doing some kind of super-restore with 3rd party programs might help, I'm all for it-
    Yeah, all Android user can think of is Jailbreaking, read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743

  • When I go to click on FF icon Firefox crashes before it starts...

    FF was working just fine... I was on Facebook... left my computer (Mac OS X 10.5.8) for about an hour (everything was left on)... when I got back FF had crashed, I did the usual, sent report and restarted... the icon would bounce, looked like it would start and poof crash report... I tried a few times same thing, before FF would even start it crashed... left it for a while... came back, same thing... I deleted it and reinstalled it, same thing... it's been 2 days almost 3 now, and it is still the same thing... I tried to find the previous version 3.6.3 (which worked just fine) and can't seem to install it... please help... I prefer Firefox than any other browser... I would really appreciate it if you would look into this problem.. I understand a lot of users are having all sorts of problems with the new version 3.6.4... Please help... Thank you...

  • My ipad is recognised as a camera when connected to my computer running on Windows XP. When my ipad has photos on it and I connect it to my computer it is initially recognised as a camera before my computer crashes.

    When my ipad has photos on it and I connect it to my computer it is initially recognised as a camera before my computer crashes. Resulting in me having to reboot the system again and going through the disc checks to resolve errors. This has happened on several occasions. On previous occasions when I have not had any photos on my ipad it has connected to my computer without any problem.Is there a way of solving this problem without having to remove all of my photos from my ipad.

    Being recognized as a camera is normal. Your computer sees the DCIM folder and doesn't know the difference between a 'real' camera and an iPad.
    One way to stop it could be to tell windows explorer what to do. When you plug your iPad in do you see a little pop up window listing things to do with the device? If so, there should be an option to 'do nothing', which means you tell your computer 'hey, ignore this device'. Your iTUnes will still work when you connect them, the windows protocols that search for images, etc. should just let it be and hopefully stop the crashing.

  • CS3 Crash before opening & Printer issues

    MacBook Pro Using Tiger, Problems with Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop CS3 and HP Photosmart C4280 Printer/Scanner
    The problem started last week. I went to open the HP Scan Pro application to scan a document. The program started to open but an error came up before it loaded saying, "The application HP Scan Pro quit unexpectedly..." but if I start the program after unplugging the printers USB cord from my computer an error says "Error- Sorry, scanner could not be initialized. (Scanner not found.)" Therefore the error and crash only occur when the printer is connected. When I try to scan from the printer itself the printer screen says, "USB not connected". I also cannot print, the error message that comes up says "Print- Error when printing". If these were the only problems, I would blame it on HP and would be asking the question in their discussion boards, but the problem extends into CS3 as well. With InDesign, I open the program and the start up box comes up and acts like it is loading, but once that is finished nothing happens (the program itself just doesn't open). With Illustrator the same thing happens with the start up box but once it goes to load the program the same error message that happens with ScanPro comes up "The application Adobe Illustrator CS3 quit unexpectedly...". When opening Photoshop, an error box comes up that says "An Unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occured. Photoshop will now exit". Safari also seems to be freezing more often, I have had to "force quit" at least once an hour.
    Last week when I had the problem I uninstalled the HP software and reinstalled and it seemed to fix the problem, until it started again today. Last week the CS3 problem was only happening in Illustrator and InDesign, but Photoshop was working and it seemed to fix itself before I did the reinstall if I remember correctly (but I'm not positive about the order in which issues were resolved last time). I went to do the same thing this time, but in the HP uninstall program it wont let me finish because the "uninstall" button wont work.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    I am having the same issue with my Mac. We have a hp 5550 printer and cs4 on a Mac G5 2.3 ghz processor power pc, 8gb ram and 500gb hard drive space. It started with the Adobe products. You could not open any of the programs. It seemed like some of the programs wanted to start and then all of a sudden the application would quit. We called Adobe support and they told us to uninstall. We can't uninstall all of a sudden even from the disk. We were told to uninstall by throwing the CS4 app folder in the trash and then use the Clean Utility app to delete the remaining files. That didn't work. Now the printer doesn't work and we can't install adobe acrobat from the web. We get this error, "Adobe reader could not install. Adobe reader was not able to install necessary component and must quit." When we tried to uninstall through adobe utilites, run the clean utility, and reinstall CS4, the computer asks us for the password and we enter it and then the install quits. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!

  • Crashing before Firefox even opens

    So I used to use Firefox all the time, but a couple of months ago it kept crashing when I tried to start it up. I tried using a different version to see if that was the problem, along with trying the Firefox Nightly versions, but it always kept crashing. I eventually gave up and just switched to chrome. Recently I wanted to go back to Firefox, but then found the same problem that I had before.
    I will paste all the crash info below, not sure which bits are relevant so ill just paste it all:
