Upgrade to iTunes 8.0.1 using one of 5 authorized computers

I just upgraded to iTunes 8.0.1 and it would not allow it until I used one of my 5 allowed authorized computers. This happened before to iTunes 7. Now I have 3 authorized computers left befor Apple deletes my downloaded songs. Why is this happening? Is there a phone number to call to talk to a human about how messed up this is?

Firstly Apple will not delete your purchased songs if you use up all your authorisation.
If you find you have used all 5 authorisations, but some of them are not in use, you can deauthorise all your computers in one go and then reauthorise only the ones you want. An option to do this should appear in your account at the iTunes store when you have used all 5, but you are only allowed to do it once a year.

I moved everybodies itunes media folder to the public music folder but when I open itunes I only see that accounts music. We need different itunes accounts. We share 1 computer but we have different user accounts on the computer.

    Adding media directly to the media folder does not make it appear in the library.  iTunes doesn't really 'look' at that folder except to go to specific files when you call upon them from a library. You have to drag new content to each user's library, that is assuming each user has their own library.

    That's called "stealing", plain & simple, same as if you stole something from a store. Sorry, but what you want to do is not permitted under the SLA & you won't get any help here...Apple owns/runs this forum.

  • How to use ONE IPod on TWO Computers

    I have an Desktop-PC using ITunes 5.0 and an IPod 20 GB. When I connect my IPod with my Laptop, the complete IPod is deleting by the ITunes on the Laptop. How can I use ONE IPod on TWO Computers without deleting the music hole time?!

    I think you need to manually update on at least the computer that has the smaller music selection.
    it may be best to turn off automatic updates on both machines and manually add and delete songs.
    or you could network both computers to share one music library

  • Hi all - is it really possible to use one license for two computers or is it just a rumor?

    I heard that it would be possible that you can use one license for two computers. Is that the truth? And if so - how does it work?
    Thanks
    K

    Adobe CC or any perpetual previous version allows you to install & activate it two times (on the same computer or other different one).
    As per End user license agreement, only one computer can be used at one given time.
    Please refer to:
    Licenses and terms of use | Adobe

    Hope it helps you.

  • We have two IMac computers.  Do I need to purchase two upgrades to Lion or can I use one upgrade on bo†h on my computers?

    I have two IMac computers.  Both running the latest version on Snow Leopard.  To upgrade to Lion, do I need to purchase two upgrades or can I use one purchase for bo†h computers?
    Thanks,
    Alice

    As I understand the as yet unconfirmed rumor by me, is that once you pay for a single copy of Lion, every computer you have that's authorized under your Apple ID can download it, no limit on number.

  • Using one account on two computers

    Howdy! I have itunes on my PC Tower. I just bought a MacBook Pro and wanted to buy a song, but "it said no" .... I have to create an account first. My ID/Password did not work. Can I just have one ID for both computers?
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   2.0 gig ram

    You may need to 'authorize' your new computer under the Store menu from w/in iTunes. Keep in mind that your iPod (if you use one) will only sync with one computer--not both. Also, the songs you buy on one computer will not automatically show up on the other--you will need to transfer them yourself (burn a CD, copy files, etc.)

  • Upgraded to Itunes 10.6 and eventhough my computer is authorized itunes won't play any of my purchased content

    I just upgraded my Itunes to 10.6. I am running  a macbook with OS 10.5.8. After upgrading I went to play some of my previously purchaed tv shows and a window came up asking my to authorize the computer to play the content which I thought was weird because the computer is already authorized. I entered my password anyway and then two windows popped up, one telling me that my computer was already authorized, and another saying my computer was NOT authorized. The controlling window seems to be the one telling me the content is not authorized, and in the window it has  a button that says open Itunes to authorize, which is again weird because Itunes is already open. After clicking th open itunes windows, waiting 5 minutes a screen comes up that says itunes could not be contacted and to make sure I have itunes 4 or greater. Again I already have itunes 10.6, then I get the grey screen where the TV show won't play.
    I only have three computers authorized with my account. Actually non of my purchased shows show up on my other computers, I deleted the SC folder multiple times, etc.
    Anyone know anything about this?

    B Noir-
    Thanks for the reply. What exactly does that command exactly do? Very strange what is going on. Like I said earlier my computer is authorized yet I am still getting the screen below when I try to open a TV show I've purchased. Itunes is already open so not sure why I am being asked to open it again. When I do click on open Itunes, I get another screen that says waiting for Itunes to authorize.... I wait like 5 minutes and then it says not able to contact Itunes and to make sure I have Itunes 4 or greater.
    HELP!

  • What happens if one of my authorized computers died and I can't log on to deauthorize?

    i need to authorize a replacement computer to one that died completely, and i can't get on the one that died to deauthorize it. please help.

    Hi Animal_Print14,
    This article contains information about ways you can deauthorize, and in your case you might need to use 'deauthorize all':
    iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
    To deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID
    If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
    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/).
    Cheers!

  • How to use one iPad on multiple computers on different networks using one AppleID

    Hi everybody.
    I'm living in two places, 250 km distant, both equiped with PCs, one running Windows 7 and the other Windows XP. They run last version of iTunes ans I use the same Apple Id.
    As one is the backup of the other, both have all the videos I'd like to broadcast on may iPad (not enough place, so no download). Some of them are TV shows I bought from iTunes, other one are personnal videos.
    All was perfect on the first PC (the one running Windows 7) until I activate the same setups on the second one. Now all is fine on that PC, but home sharing on the first one doesn't work anymore. When I open Videos (the application) on iPad, the only thing I see on the menu is "TV show", wich allow me to download the TV shows I bought. I guess they are donwloaded from Internet, not from the computer running iTunes on the local network. And I don't see anymore the "shared" menu I saw before that allow me to broascast personnal videos.
    The Apple support say that what I'd like to do is not supported yet, but I'm not shure they really understand my configuration.
    Does anybody use successfully the same configuration, or did someone encounter the same problem ?
    Thank's

    I do not understand the qestion.  When you get a CC subscription you get it for specific software... or you can get a plan that covers multiple applications.

  • Can i use one ipod on two computers?

    Can anyone help me please?
    My son has ipod shuffle and has a separate itunes account, but before he got an ipad for his birthday, we set up itunes on my home computer, using my itunes account.
    His account has lots of credit whereas mine now doesn't as we have to use my account to purchase his music!
    We need to know if it's possible for him to purchase music from his itunes account either directly from his ipad or from my computer using his itunes a/c and ipod. A friend told him that he can't use his ipod on another account as it would wipe out his songs. Is this correct?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help.

    I think you need to manually update on at least the computer that has the smaller music selection.
    it may be best to turn off automatic updates on both machines and manually add and delete songs.

  • Using one library for multiple computers and accounts (not store accounts)

    Okay, we currently have four macs in the house. One was recently bought: i7 iMac (late 2009), another is dying: (mid 2005 iMac), another is going somewhere else: (late 2006 iMac) and another is a laptop: C2D MBP (late 2008). We might add another computer into the mix some time later.
    Anyway, what I want to do is have one iTunes library which all of the computers can access (even guest's/friend's computers). We have a Time Capsule, and as I have heard one can make the TC the HDD for the iTunes library, I thought it best for it to be there.
    The only thing is, how can each computer (and the possible multiple accounts) each access the same library, without duplicating and messing anything up? Is that possible? If it is too hard for multiple computers to do this, I would still want the (late 2009) iMac to be able to use the same library for the two accounts on it.
    Thanks.

    Make sure everything you want to share is on the centralized drive (music, video, and books, but if any of you have mobile devices, keep the apps on your local drive). Mount the drive on your computer. (Remember, from now on you must do this before starting iTunes.) If iTunes isn't running, start it now.
    At the moment iTunes thinks the library is on the local computer and has all the music on it so that has to be changed. Click on Music in the left window pane, select all, and delete. This deletes all the music from the library and, if you choose, from the computer too. (Until you are sure this set-up is to your liking, don't delete the music from the drive.) Now go to Preferences and select the Advanced tab. Set iTunes to look at the music folder on your shared drive. And finally, select File>Add to Library to repopulate your iTunes library. This could take a while if you have a large music collection.
    Since you changed the music location, anything that is added to one person's library will be saved onto the shared drive so it isn't too much of a hassle to manually add music. You'll have to rebuild playlists which is a minor hassle but it’s a one time deal.

  • Using one ipod on 2 computers - is this possible?!

    Hi guys I would really appreciate it if somebody could help out with this:
    I want to buy my girlfriend an 80gb Ipod Classic for xmas and load it with some music using my existing version of itunes (version 7.3.2.6) and then give it to her so that she can use the ipod with the verison of itunes that it comes with or she downloads. *This music will NOT be music purchased from itunes.*
    Is this possible? When her friend connects her new nano to my girlfriends pc and tries to use my girlfriends slightly older version of itunes all of the songs are greyed out and not useable.
    I do not want to buy the ipod and load it up only to find she can then not use it with her version of itunes.
    If anyone is certain about this i'd be greatly appreciative of an answer.
    David

    To change it back to automatically syncing you remove the check mark from "Manually manage songs and videos" and press Apply. If you don't want to use it as file storage device and want it to automatically eject when it is finished updating you also remove the check mark from "enable disk use" (this is checked by default when you set the iPod to update manually. Remember though that if you go back to updating automatically, any songs on the iPod that aren't in iTunes will be removed. You can't "sync" that is automatically update an iPod from multiple libraries or computers: Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
