When I try to authorize my computer I receive a message saying you cannot authorize 5 computers at once. I only have one computer

I have made several purchases from the Apple Store, But when I tried to access them I receive a message that says 'Your computer is not authorized to play this track/album'. So I try to authorize and another message says 'You cannot authorize 5 computers at once.' What does this mean? I only have this one computer.

At some point other computers were autorized on your account.
Open iTunes and go to the iTunes store > Accounrs (in Quick Links section on the right) > sign in > From the you can use the Deauthorize All option. Apple limits use of this to once a year. After all are deauthorized you will be able to authorize your computer.

    After updating my MacBook Pro to yeosemite I want my old desktop picture back. I did a full back up before the install. I found the "Settings" folder in Time machine but when I try to open it I get an error message saying "You can not open this folder. It is in TimeMachine".

    Can you browse the Time Machine drive from Finder?
    If you can and you know where the picture was stored ie on your desktop you can browse through the folder structure to the picture copy it and paste it somewhere on your new install before right clicking it and 'set as desktop background'

    I am trying to set up my daughter's iTouch.  I am connected to our Wi-Fi, and have confirmed this in Settings, but when we try and open any webpage we receive the message that page cannot be opened because not connected to the Internet.  I have already re-set the iPod, have shut-down and restarted, and told the iPod to "Forget Network".  please help - i am going bananas!

    Encryption wouldn't matter except for Wifi.
    While 10.2 might help, there's not much you can do on the Internet these days with less than 10.4.11

  • Some of my songs in iTunes show up but they won't play. I get the message that my computer isn't authorized to play them when I only have one computer.

    I recently did the update for iTunes and after I did that I got the error message: MSVCR80.dll file not found.  I followed the suggestions from someone in this community to fix it and now some of my songs aren't playing.  And they are the ones that I purchased from iTunes not CDs that I have and ripped to my iTunes library. I can see the songs listed in my iTunes library as well as on my iPod but yet they won't play.  On my computer I get the message that this computer is unauthorized to play them and to authorize it.  I only have one computer, so I have no idea why I'm getting this message.  And does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get all of the iTunes songs to play again?

    Hello Angel82co,
    It sounds like you have some songs in your library that are not playing, and when you try to play them you are being told the computer is not authorized to play them. I would start by verifying that your computer is still authorized, and take note of the Apple ID that you sign in with:
    To authorize a computer, follow these steps:
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
    You may need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
    Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
    If your Apple ID uses an expired MobileMe account, you can still authorize your computer.
    From: iTunes Store: Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
    If the issue persists, next I would use the following article to double check that these songs were purchased under the same Apple ID you used to authorize the computer:
    Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1920
    Open iTunes
    Highlight one of the items you have purchased (You can find your purchases in your Purchases playlist).
    Choose File > Get Info.
    Click the Summary tab.
    The Account Name area will list the account used to purchase the item. Unless you have changed accounts, this is your iTunes Store account name.
    If it is the same Apple ID then I would next delete the song, and re download it from your purchased history, with this article named:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • My 120GB IPod classic is not recognized by my Windows 7 PC.  When I plug the ipod into my computer I receive a message saying that the USD device is not recognized.

    My 120GB IPod classic is not recognized by my Windows 7 PC.  When I plug the ipod into my computer I receive a message saying that the USD device is not recognized.  The Device Manager lists it as an Unknown Device.  I've tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it, but it had no affect.  The odd thing is that our other iPod (160 GB Classic) is recognized on the same computer using the same USB cable.  When I plug the ipod in question into another PC, the PC seems to recognize the iPod and lists it in Windows Explorer (iTunes is not installed on this machine).  There seems to be something out of wack with this PC/iPod combo.  Any thoughts on what I can do to try to resolve this issue?  I tried all of the steps listed here, but they didn't help me.  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?

  • HT201210 When I try to sync my iphone I get a message saying that it was unable to back up my iPhone as an error occurred. Help?!

    When I try to sync my iphone I get a message saying that it was unable to back up my iPhone as an error occurred. My iPhone needs a software update but it won't let me do that until my phone is backed up! I have authorised my computer and tried disconnecting my phone from the computer, but nothing is working. Help please?!

    I was receiving the same message. I had to uncheck the box that allowed me to sync my phone to my computer (PC) via wi-fi. After that, I have not had any problems. I am speculating that this issue is probably related to the wi-fi problems people are experiencing with iOS 6.

  • When I try to sync my iPhone I get the message: The iPhone cannot be synced. You do not have enough access priveleges for this operation.

    When I try to sync my iPhone, I get the message: The iPhone cannot be synced. You do not have enough access priveleges for this operation.
    The iPhone won't sync anymore.  How can I fix this?

    This works even for my ipod on my computer. I recently time machined myself and when i open intunes it always does all that backgroud magic and  pops up saying "....You do not have enough access priveleges for this operation."
    It turns out i don't need that, because i do not use sync. I do not sync. I don't use the sync. I abstain from getting my sync on...etc.
    The first solution posted above works, i'll repeat it but  credit goes to King_Penguin a true friend from the motherland! Just find this one file and delete it.

    If that doesn't work, try DLing the free single of the week. You might need to agree to the new Apple store license agreement.

    See [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]], the image shown in that article is the Windows equivalent of the error message that you are receiving, but the information relates to the Mac.

    Mavericks is not recognizing the .smi extension - on my Mac it thinks it's a RealPlayer document. You are not going to be able to do anything with this - it requires AppleWorks to be present to be updated, and you can't run AppleWorks on Mavericks (other than by the rather roundabout process of installing Snow Leopard Server in Parallels and installing AppleWorks on that, as described here).
