Unable to de-authorize my computer.

Hi
I have bought an iPhone recently (2 days ago) and I downloaded a copy of iTunes (for Windows 7) that same day.
I wanted to create a back-up of my phone, so I authorised my computer.
Today I wanted to back-up again, and i was accosted with a message stating that my computer is not authorised,
so I authorised it again, finding out in the process that I just used my second of five authorisations.
(I have not used another computer. I have only ever used my home pc.)
In an attempt to fix this, so that my one computer uses only one authorisation, I de de-authorized my computer,
and it works the first time, but when I try and de-authorize the second time I am met with an error message that says:
"This computer was not authorized.To authorize...".
I suspect that this is due to my internet connection which comes from a 3G USB reciever, that gives me a dynamic IP address.
Without using my annual "de-authorize all" button, how would I de authorize my computer?
More importantly, how do i ensure that i do not use all of my authorisations?
Thanks in advance.

"More importantly, how do i ensure that i do not use all of my authorisations?"-from my post.
This is my problem. I care that it shows two authorizations because I only have one computer.

  • HT1420 Unable to find "Authorize this Computer"

    I am unable to find Authorize this Computer under the Store menu.  Please help.

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

  • Unable to activate authorization of computer

    I know my sign in and my password...I have allowed cookies and also turned off NUM LOCK.  I had the previous version of Adobe Digital and purchased 2 books and it asked me to update--did it.....   every time I try to authorize my computer I get an error message tell me that the "authention server is busy"  plus something else which I have forgottem. 
    In signing in to get here I tried using all my user names and they said they weren't available----because they are mine ??
    any help would be appreciated

    The problem is solved-I had to call Sony as well because my Reader froze.........he fixed everything and told me "how not" to have this problem again.
    Funny thing is I do have an Adobe ID---but the computer kept telling me that the Activation site was busy.
    soooo I'm now enjoying the books I purchased
    thank you for the follow-up

  • Unable to correctly authorize a computer with new Apple ID

    I had to ditch my old Apple ID as it was shared with a person that I no longer live with. I registered a new Apple ID and using a new computer with my previous phone. I can sync the phone fine, but can't transfer purchased apps to iTunes. I authorize the computer and all seems well. I then attempt to transfer apps from my phone to iTunes and get an error message stating the computer isn't authorized. Any ideas? I've authorized/deauthorized many times and it seems to work until I attempt to transfer apps over.

    If the book was bought with your account then it will be tied to your account so you will need to authorise your account on it via the Store > Authorise This Computer menu option.

    In the Elements Organizer 13
    The key to all this is to click on/select/highlight the Album that you have created in Local Albums.
    Then make sure that the Sort By: (in the row below the highlighted "Media" header is set for Album Order.
    You should see a number at the top left of each of thumbnails.
    Then, click on the thumbnail that you want to move, hold down the click, and drag the thumbnail to the wanted new location
    in the line up of thumbnails.
    Often I had to press down hard on the drag.
    Please let us know if that worked for you.
    Also, in Edit Menu/Preferences/Keyword Tags and Albums/Enable Manual Sorting Options, I set all for manual.

  • When I try to erase my authorization of my computer it keeps saying, "unable to erase authorization. Try again after sometime"

    .When I try to erase my authorization of my computer it keeps saying, ""unable to erase authorization. Try again after sometime"

    Ok. I was able to resolve this issue.  On my mac, it was due to two things. I'm using two macintoshes.  One for home and one for work.  Both are setup for handoff.  1) make sure the library folder is not invisible.  There must be more than one occurrence of the activate.dat file to delete.  2) Once I found it on my work mac and deleted it, it actually removed authorization from both macs!  I can't explain how this happened, but it must be due to the handoff settings.  So, then I re-authorized the original macintosh first and made sure my books could be read with no errors, then I authorized the work mac (before any books were imported to the library).  Both macs were authorized, and the first mac was working fine.  Then I imported the books into my work mac and everything is working properly on both macs.

    I am unable to play certain songs since itunes wants me to authorize the computer with an old email address I had when I first bought the songs. I don't remember that password and when I use my present Apple id and password it doesn't authorize the computer to play those songs. How do I get these songs authorized since there are a lot of them?

  • 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.

  • Unable to De-Authorize Computer due to Hard Drive Crash. Getting now Maximum Activations Exceeded

    I purchased an iMac at BestBuy, installed my Adobe Cloud Subscription (secondary license, the primary is activated on my iMac at work) onto it and used it for a week. The hard drive crashed and I went back to BestBuy and had them replace the iMac with the same model.
    I was obviously unable to de-authorize the returned iMac and on the new one I get the message: Maximum Activations Exceeded ...
    Why isn't there an easier way to de-authorize computers.
    I went to the chat and they gave me the tech support number which happens to be available only from Mo-Fr. I am pretty much unable to do any work from home over the weekend.
    Is there any solution to this problem I am not aware of?

    Nope, you need to call and have all your info ready. They are pretty sticky about confirming it's you. Once they confirm it's you they will change it. Easy Peasy. I have had to do it a couple of times over the years.

  • TS3297 When I purchase a whole album why am I unable to play some of the songs?  I get a prompt telling me to authorize my computer which I have already done.

    Why do I keep getting prompted to authorize some songs when I have purchased  a whole album?  For example I purchased Return to Cookie Mountain and can only play 5 of the 12 songs. When I try to play the other 7 songs I get a prompt to authorize the computer which I have already done.

    When I try to play the other 7 songs I get a prompt to authorize the computer
    If only some of tracks from the album are prompting you to do that, that suggests that the tracks are damaged.
    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
