TA22652 Hi, I have authorized 4/5 computers, now what once I'll be done with all 5/5 computers? Can I authorize more than 5 computers?

Hi, I have authorized 4/5 computers, now what once I'll be done with all 5/5 computers? Can I authorize more than 5 computers? Also I do not have any of the back up of other 3 computers I've authorized. Please help me!! Thanks

No more than five computers can be authorized at any given time. Computers can be individually deauthorized by using the Deauthorize Computer function; once a year, you can deauthorize all the computers without needing access to them.

    Use the Deauthorize All command documented in this article, or if it isn't an option, the 'contact iTunes Store support' link at the bottom of it.

  • I have more than 5 computers in my home network, how can I authorize more than 5?

    I bought a new PC and I want to authorize it for homesharing too.

    You can't authorize more than five computers under a single Apple ID at any given time.

  • You can not authorize more than 5 computers

    I have music on my MacBook Pro, in iTunes, that I want to use, but it comes from an old account, that I don't use anymore, and some computers/iPods that are really not working. When I want to ear those musics/songs, I receive this message, when trying to enter the account, old, not the actual one: "you can not authorize more than 5 computers"
    What can I do?

    I quote:
    You can deauthorize all computers connected to your Apple ID if you've reached the maximum five authorizations:
    Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
    If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
    Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
    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/).
    (end quote): once done you can then re-authorise computers as needed.

  • Can I authorize more than five computers on one iTunes account?

    Can I authorize more than five computers on one iTunes account?  I have several PC's being used as HTPC's and I'd like to use iTunes on all of them.  My three iPhones and three PC's have taken up all of my authorizations.  If I need to create a second iTunes account, can it be linked to my existing account?

    Todd, some suggested reading, none of which looks to me as requiring authorization as an iTunes device for Apple TV:

    How can I authorize more than 5 computers on my account?
    We have 4 iPhones, 1 iPad, 1 desktop Mac, and 3 MacBook laptops.

    You can't but don't need to. The iPhones and iPad don't count as computers.

  • HT202213 How can I authorize more than 5 computers with the same Apple ID?

    Somebody knows how to authorize more than 5 computers with the same Apple ID? I have One Apple IMac, Apple TV, I-PAD, 2 HP PC's, One I-Phone and one I-Pod Touch. I would like to have the possibility to use as I wish the same Apple ID on one of those without deauthorizing another one.

    "Somebody knows how to authorize more than 5 computers with the same Apple ID? "
    You cannot.
    Authorization applies ONLY to computers.  Ipods/ipads/iphones/Apple TVS are NOT authorized at all.

  • How can I authorize more than 5 computers?

    With the purchase of new laptop, I have reached the limit of 5 authorized computers. However, only 2 are in use; the other 3 have been passed on to fellow employees. Their hard drives were completely erased, so there is no risk of anyone else using the authorized itunes accounts. How can I get additional authorizations?

    You can't get more than five at any one time. But if you've reached five authorizations for that account, there will be a button in your iTunes Store account information that will allow you to deauthorize all systems associated with that account. Log into your iTunes Store account and you should see it. You can then reauthorize the computers you're using now.
    Next time don't forget to deauthorize the systems before you let them out of your hands. You can only do the mass-deauthorization once per year.
    Regards.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't authorise more than 5 computers, but you only have 2, your iPads etc don't count. You may well have single computers authorised multiple times.
    Try deauthorising each computer and repeating the deauthorisation until it won't let you anymore, then re-authorise each one just once.
    Alternatively could you have some older computers that you didn't de-authorise before getting rid of them. In which case you'll need to de-authorise all your computers at once from your iTunes account settings.
    Please note you can only perform the last option once every 12 months.

  • We are a family of 6 - 2 parents and 4 children.. We have an iMac, 3 macbooks, a Macbook Pro and an iPad. We all want to be able to share the itunes library, but it keeps telling us that it can't authorize more than 5 computers.  What can we do???

    How can we home share with more than 5 computers?? We are a family of 6 and each has his/her own computer.

    You can't. But iDevices don't count. So you should be able to share the 5 computers.

  • Does any one out there have problems with all in ones. Mine never last more than 6 months

    I have had numerous printers/fax/scanners and they only last 4 to 6 months. I would think for the money you have to pay for them they would last longer. Something that cost 500 dollars should last more than 4 months

    What is it that does not last?  Do your printers go wrong in the same way?
    From a printing standpoint, the number of total printed pages is a good way to measure the life of a printer instead of in days, weeks or months.

    Follow the instructions in the above link to deauthorize all and then authorize only the computers that you physically have access to and need authorized.
