You can do a once-a-year deauthorization (and re-authorization) of all the computers on your iTunes account.

Deauthorizing iTunes on a computer? My laptop won't let me connect my iPhone because it says I'm authorized on too many computers, but when I try to de-authorize another computer I use it won't let me. What's up?

What do you mean it won't let you? What exactly does it say? (Sorry to sound so exasperated but this is like the 6th post in a row where people have made vague statements which do little to help us find solutions without a game of 20 questions.) I'm going to guess and say you can only deauthorize a computer to which you have physical access or VPN login. The alternative is to deauthorize all which you can only do once a year.

HT1386 i have gone through several pc units over time and when i try to sync up my iphone and ipad to my new computer is says it can not sync because i have the devices registered on too many computers. How do i fix that?

I have had several computers in recent years and when i try to sync my iphone and ipad to my new computer, it says it cant because the devices are registered on too many computers. I only need them synced up to two computers - how do i fix this?

In iTunes, under the "Store" menu, you can select "Deauthorize this computer". That will remove that computer from your iTunes account and free up a spot for the new computer.
If you have already sold or wiped your previous computers, you can log into your iTunes account from the Store menu in iTunes by selecting "View My Account xxxx@xxxx". Once you are logged in, about 1/4 the way down the page it will tell you that you have "xx computers are authorized......". Beside that you have the option to deauthorize all of the connected devices. That is the only option, you will have to deauthorize all and then set up the ones you want to use.
I think 10 is the maximum number of devices that can sync to one iTunes account.

What is the exact complete word-for-word error message?
Is this the Creative cloud version of Lightroom or the standalone (also called "perpetual license") version of Lightroom?

Too many computers using the product?

I have Adobe Photoshop elements on two computers. I just had a msg come up that said I have the software installed on too many computers. It has only been on the two. No recent installations either. I need help here or I am going to loose it in 30 days. Why is adobe so hard to get a hold of?

I am guessing here that multiple computers refers to more than the number of computers that you have the license for. See this document for more info: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/100/1008779.html

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode or Just Need to Restore Your Device
1. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. iOS- Understanding passcodes
     If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
     below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
     simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
     same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
         option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
         necessary to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
          backup to restore, then restore as New.
If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.

Diavonex was not treating this as a joke. He was giving you the answer to your question in a perfectly polite and respectful way. Without the Apple ID credentials to which the iPad is locked or proof that you are the original purchaser, there's nothing you can do. The device is useless to you.

HT1420 I'm trying to authorize a new computer with an itune account, but my the computer statea that I have too many devices authorized. I only have 2 computers in my possession now. How can I deauthorize computer I don't have anymore without deauthorizin

I have recently purchased a new lap top. Both my wife and I share our Itune music. When I purchesed the computer I was able to authorize my itunes account on it and move my purchaced music over from my iphone. However, I was not able to move my wifes music over because she has too many devices authorized under her account. Most of those computers are no longer in our possession and have been thrown out. How can she deauthorzise computer we don't have in our possession anymore without deauthorizing them all?

Authorizing deauthorizing has NO effect at all on your itunes library. You lose nothing.
You should also alwasy have a backup copy.
You MUST deauthorize all.
You have the only answer there is.

Too many computers registered?

I have no way of getting to the computers that are registered on my ipod, since i am in the military and those computers are partially in other countries. Am i just completely screwed in adding/removing songs on my ipod? Is there a way to re-set without losing everything thats on it already?

What do you mean by "registered"? Registration is between the computer and the iTunes Store account. For previously purchased songs that were +Protected AAC+ format, you can only play them on up to five computers at any given time. However, there is no registration between an iPod and computer.
The only restriction is with syncing. An iPod can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time. If you use the +Manually manage music+, you can use an iPod with as many computers as you want. However, to ensure you do not accidentally sync your iPod to an unknown library and erase what is current on the iPod, you should open iTunes preferences, go to the Devices tab, and check +Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods+
So is this question related to the iTunes Store account and the five computer limit? Or is it related to syncing between an iPod and computer.

HELP! I have just changed my email address ad now i cant sync my ipod with the new songs I have bought

when I changed my e-mail address and got a new computer so I have downloaded iTunes and it recognizes my iPod but when I have bought 3 new songs it wouldn't let me sync the songs onto my iPod. Have tried clicking 'transfer songs' but it wont work. I don't know what else to do these are really good songs AND I've paid for them and I need them for my work. Please help, thanks for anyone who does, lauren

So basically you are trying to sync your Nano on a new computer/iTunes library? iPods are designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.
To add new content to the iPod, you'll need to restore the iPod to factory settings in iTunes. However, if you have content on your iPod that needs to be copied to iTunes first, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to do this.

How can I get a list of songs I have bought?

I had to replace my hard drive so I lost everything in my iTunes. Most of the songs I have on CDs, but not any that I bought through iTunes. How can I recover these. I am pretty sure that if I download the same ones they will be free.

If you are in the U.S., then open itunes, go to the itunes store, look under Quick Links and click Purchased
You can get you purchases from there.

HT201272 I cannot download any of the song I have bought

I have bought 400+ songs of itunes but when i go to my purchased list there is nothing there can anybody help me?

What country are you in (what can be re-downloaded where), and are you still in the same country, and using the same iTunes account as you used to buy them ?
Re-downloading music isn't currently possible in all countries. If you aren't in a country where re-downloading is possible, then do you not have a backup of all of your downloads ? If not, and the songs are still in the store (content providers occasionally remove their items), then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download : then you can contact iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
