Unable to authorize my itunes

hi i have recently re installed windows on my laptop as lately i have been having major issues, i have had to reformat and reinstall 5 times now and i have used up my 5 authorisations. i have just bought a new apple device and cant even use it to its full potential. how can i get rid of these other authorisations without being able to do it on the actual computer. thanks for any advice.

Open iTunes and go to iTunes Store. Log in with your Apple ID, press your e-mail and delete the authorizations

  • I am unable to authorize my itunes account on my new MacBook.

    It keeps showing 'unknown error -42408'.  I have two Apple IDs and it shows the same error message for both.
    It could well be related to the fact I removed itunes 11 from the new laptop and reinstalled itunes 10 because it is significantly better (but it wont be if I can't play any of the music I purchased on itunes!!).

    See this document:

    If you simply removed iTunes '11 and reinstalled iTunes 10, then some ressources will be missing, since iTunes comes as part of the system. The best you can do, is upgrading to iTunes '11 again, unless you want to do the full Monty and donwgrade MacOS X as well - reinstall an older MacOS X version and upgrade all but iTunes.

  • Unable to authorize account

    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.
    OS is Windows 7 x64

    Try resetting your Apple ID password.

  • I have 5 devices authorized to my itunes account. 2 of them crashed but I am unable to authorize my new pc. From what I can see it looks like I may have to "deauthorize all" and then re authorize my current devices? Please help!

    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.

    Note: After i erase when i connected my phone to itunes i choose the option set up a new phone because i did not want to restore and get old setings in my phone!!! Kindly help!!!

    Do you have the latest version of iTunes?
    Was your computer ever used to hack or jailbreak any Apple product? If so the software you used corrupted your computer's network database. You will have to correct the problem in your Hosts file.

  • I purchased a book and downloaded the book on my pc, but I am unable to authorize and transfer this to my other devices

    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....

  • 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.

  • New podcast app says unable to authorize, please contact customer service, is that apple or the podcast provider?

    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.

  • 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.

  • TS1389 I'm unable to authorize my computer and don't see any of the prompts they say will show up in my Store Menu

    I'm unable to authorize my computer and don't see any of the prompts (i.e.Authorize this computer, etc.) that they say should appear under Store Menu.  Also songs aren't transerring to my ipod, which is why I deauthorized the computer, hoping to restore it, in the first place.
