Two of my 5 authorized machines are broken, how do I deauthorize?

I have two computers that were authorized to play my iTunes songs, but due to system failures or hard drive crashes, I am not able to open the iTunes application on these machines and deauthorize them. I have purchased two new computers to replace the two broken ones and would like to enjoy the music I purchased from iTunes...please advise!!!
Windows XP

To deauthorize all computers associated with your account:
Click iTunes Store in the Source pane.
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 ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
Then reauthorize the working computers.
This can only be done once a year.

My authorized computer crashed. How can I deauthorize it?

One of my authorized computers crashed and can't be repaired. How do I deauthorize it?

You should be able to get on iTunes from the computer that works and it will show how many computers are authorized. Since it doesn't show which one is which to individually pick one you will have to Deauthoize both (all) of them, then authorize the one(s) that works again. It should then show only one authoized. (or how ever many computers left that are working). If later you get another computer you just get on it (on Itunes after installing it) and authorize it.
My son's hard drive on his lap top had died and had to be replaced...so when he authorized it, mine showed three computers authorized. I had to Deauthorize all three and start over, authorizing mine first then his. Now it just shows two authorized.

I don't have any of my authorized computers anymore! How can I deauthorize them?

I no longer have any of my authorized computers! How do I deauthorize 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.

After a crash, lots of audiobooks have somehow moved to Music folder, and links are broken - how can I fix this?

Wow, I'm surprised the forums accepted that long a title.
Anyway, the computer crashed. I started again, and when opening iTunes after the crash ... something happened. There was a prompt that I idiotically didn't write down (Moving Library? Updating Library?), that kept going for hours, and eventually I just gave up and shut it down. That was probably stupid. Also evidence of significant things happening: the next Time Machine backup was 60GB+, so something big had changed.
As best I can tell, lots of my Audiobooks (and I've got MANY) now have broken links - when I look in the "iTunes Media" folder, many of the files that were once in the "Audiobooks" folder are now in the "Music" folder instead. All are still in the same subfolder as before: so audiobook files that were in "Audiobooks / BBC Melvyn Bragg" are now in "Music / BBC Melvyn Bragg", for example. So far I've only found Audiobooks that have been messed up in this way. Music and iTunes U and Podcasts seem to be unchanged, but maybe I just haven't noticed those problems yet.
And obviously I want to fix this.
Note that my iTunes library is set to "Keep iTunes Music Folder organized". All of the organization is what iTunes has done.
Option 1: can I just restore from a Time Machine backup? If so, what should I restore? There have been a few changes in the metadata in the 3-4 days since the crash, but I'm not overly concerned with that.
Option 2: can I just use Finder and move the files back? This would seem the "easiest" option to me. Although lots (hundreds? thousands?) of audiobook files have been moved, they're within only a couple of dozen different folders. Dragging them back into the correct folder would be easy - but what kind of havoc would that wreak on the database system?
Option 3: go through each track and find the file. I can do this. It'll take hours and hours and hours. I don't want to do this.
Slightly different question: how can I make a smart playlist of all the files with broken links? (I'm still trying to get a handle on just how big this problem is.) I've found suggestions about (1) making a smart playlist of everything, (2) dragging all of those into a normal playlist, and (3) making a new smart playlist of whatever's in #1 but not in #2, but that doesn't seem to be working for this situation. Is that advice now outdated, or is there something unique to my situation?
Thanks in advance!

Following up: I went with Option 2 above, and it seems to have worked quite well. I didn't even need to quit iTunes. After the files were moved, the exclamation marks remained at first, until I played the file, or restarted iTunes - now all seems well, until the next crash anyway.

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.

E-mail typed lines appear full when sent but upon reply they are broken into one or two words per line.

Why do my e-mail messages to people appear to have full lines when I send them but when they reply, the "full lines" are broken up with one word on a
single line?

Dear Friends,
E-mail messages sent, are received not in the paragraph-form as sent, but are broken-up into small segments, one line finely printed, the next line may appear with two or three words printed on it, then the next line will show a few words at the end of it, while the next line appears as the start of another paragraph, and so on and on and on. So that the original message, although sent in the one paragraph-form, winds up being received as several paragraphs, each broken up into several segments. My contacting Apple has produced no solution thus far. I am new at this computer
business and would greatly appreciate any help you can give me on this score. Thanking you in advance for your interest and kind help.
Yours Truly,
Broduff.

HT1420 Is it possible to determine which machines are Itunes authorized?

Is it possible to determine which machines are Itunes authorized so I can only deauthorize one or is it not possible to see a list of your authorized machines?

Sorry but no. All you can see is a total account, not a list of individual systems that are authorized. If you want to deauthorize only a single computer, you need to do that from that computer.
Regards.

HT3819 how do I find out what 5 machines are authorized in my account

Episodes do not auto-download even though I receive email confirmation they are ready. 'Check For Avail. Downloads' says all available are already downloaded. Signed in properly on an authorized machine.

episodes do not auto-download even though I receive email confirmation they are ready. 'Check For Available Downloads' says all available are already downloaded. Signed in properly on an authorized machine. Can anyone explain this? Give directions to fix?

Thank you for the reply. These are not, however, past purchases; these are fresh episodes of purchased seasons. For instance, I receive an email that a new episode of Elementary is ready for me to download. When I check for available downloads, though, I am told there are none. So these are not previous purchases that I am trying to re-view or download again. These are fresh items for which I have paid but which I appear unable to access unless, perhaps, I were to re-purchase them. Grrrrrr.

How do I manage one ipod touch on two authorized machines?

Both of my machines are authorized for my ipod touch (my desktop being my "main" library, and my laptop having a few songs I purchased while on the road). I wasn't aware that upgrading to software v2.0 would restore my ipod back to it's factory settings. Once the update was complete, I began to transfer music back onto my ipod, from my pc, manually. Once I was finished transferring the music I wanted from my pc, I went to my laptop to pull the songs from there as well. My ipod was recognized by the laptop, but itunes wouldn't allow me to transfer any of the music to the ipod. Any ideas?

The walkthrough I'm going to try is:
http://bestipodstuff.com/2007/12/28/how-to-set-up-multiple-computers-for-one-ipo d/
I was going to give this a shot when I got home. Unfortunately, it looks like I'll have to wipe my ipod yet again. The transfer issue might have something to do with automatic syncing. I thought I had auto sync disabled, but I'll give it another go.
Sandis, this might help you as well. You could try this method to get the music onto your ipod from your work pc, but then attach the ipod to your laptop and try File >> Transfer purchases from ipod.
I'm not sure how to recover lost albums though, sorry. =(
(replies still welcome) =)

The documentation links are broken......

This page contains installation, migration, and upgrade documentation as well as product and component release notes. For information on using Oracle Application Server, refer to the Oracle Application Server documentation library. The library is available on another disk in the Oracle Application Server CD-Pack or on the Oracle Technology Network.
This is the exactly text in the installations guides after read and install OAS 9.0.4 (the installation release notes would be integrates in the installation docuement...) in a cold failover cluster (I have installed a lot of things and I don't know what heaven they are for... I haven't seen any guide either in the CD or in documentation pages and all the links to administrator or user guides are broken... also would be great any guides about tunning OAS.
These are so strange things...??? All searchs like 'OracleAS administrator guide' return marketing results and white paper they are absolutly unuseful...
Well... What i need?? just few things....
1.- How to start, stop and monitoring OracleAS. scripts and things like these....
2.- How could I deploy and standar J2EE application in this cluster...
3.- Everything I have installed following oracleAS 10g application guide what it is for... and what i need to start stop (and how) it works whith minimun requierements...
4.- I have installed OAS in the same machine where I have Oracle 9i database (It is so strange thing???) how could I start both at the same times whith my two oracle homes after I have renamed the original oracle to oracle.orig following installation guide.... (two listeneres, two oracle homes, how....)
5.- And where are agents examples for Cold fail over cluster in a sun solaris???
I have spend 5 days and I still doesn't have anything just the database (which documentation is wonderful) Where could I find documentations so wonderful like you have for databases?? or oracleAS are beta releases???

All OracleAS 10g 9.0.4 user guides and documentation are available here:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10464_04/index.htm
...and the links are working just fine for me. Perhaps you experienced a transient network problem....

Translation from CS5 to Cloud doesn't work correct, navi and linked images are broken.

Translation from CS5 to Cloud doesn't work correct, <navi> and linked images are broken.
The data of CS5 was created at another PC. I installed Cloud version into two different PC. One has had the site data since dreamweaver CS5 and it works correct in Cloud version. Another PC got the site data from remote server and it doesn't work correct. <navi> and linked image are broken.

This implies your site is not properly defined in DW. Go to Site > Manage Sites.
Or simply go to your other installation of DW and export the site definition file from Manage Sites.
Save it to a flash stick or other removable drive. Then import the STE file into your 2nd installation of DW.

MOBILE ACCOUNTS ARE BROKEN!!! At least for Active directory.

Thanks ben6073 for posting your link to the solution. It worked for me as well.
I did a clean install of SL, joined the machine to the AD domain using Directory Utility. Restarted and when the other user option finally came up in the login screen it would just shake after entering my credentials. As if I was using the wrong password. I then logged in with the local admin account and using the Directory Utility disabled the mobile account option. I then restarted and was able to log in using my credentials.

I had this problem this morning. It went away after I rebooted and ran applejack in "auto pilot" mode. The machine is a macbook pro running Snow Leopard. The account is a mobile account tied to a windows active directory server. Applejack is available from http://applejack.sourceforge.net/. The auto pilot mode cleans out the system caches is /Library and /System/Library - perhaps this is what provides the fix? Just a guess.
