Why does Apple only let you authorize 5 products on 1 account?

Is there any way arround this. Reason is that I just ordered the New iPad to replace the original iPad also I just ordered the new iPhone 5 to replace the 4. So what do you do to get it all set up? I have 3 other devices so I'm at the limit!

  • Why does apple only support mp4 videos?

    It's not really a problem, i usually use my friends computers to convert my videos since mine is so slow.
    But why does apple only support MP4 and MOV formats? Why not MPEG or DivX?
    I know they cannot use WMV because it is a Microsoft format.
    It's just sometimes when i convert videos, the audio becomes out of sync or iTunes complains it's not playable on my iPod.
    I would just like to know why?
    Thanks for your time.

    If Apple chooses to go with H.264 or MP4 or whatever else they want to support, maybe it would be real nice if iTunes could automatically convert to those formats. So if I dropped my universally standard (and supported by most DVD players) DivX video clip in the library, iTunes would convert and format the video to an iPod friendly format.
    So, let me see if I understand this correctly. You want Apple to pirate proprietary codecs from DivX and build them into iTunes QT access. Tell me, does this mean that Apple is working as your agent and you will be the one spending time behind bars or paying the fines. Or, are you saying that Apple should act as an agent for DivX and charge you for a version of iTunes with legal codecs installed. How about Windows Media? Want to double the cost? What about Real? Or maybe Apple should have different versions of iTunes -- one for you and one for the guy who lives next door who uses old Indeo files?
    I have tried several 3rd party converters and they all suck.
    Perhaps you should be more selective in choosing a converter or invest in a commercial product which is supported by the people selling it.

  • Does apple tv let you stream from any website, such as Flixanity or Putlocker, or are there limitations?

    I am thinking of buying apple tv after ios8 stopped my HDMI cable from working, I use alternative sites to keep unto date with the US premiers of TV Shows, so i don't want to buy it if it only allows you to use Netflix etc?

    There is no browser on Apple TV and there are specific native apps offered. However, you can use airplay mirroring to stream the contents from your computer.
    The built-in option requires a Mac from 2011 or later, running OSX 10.8 or later. However, there are 3rd party options like Airparrot.

  • Does apple still let you update to 6.0

    because 5.1.1 will not work.. i get 3194 error.
    thank you.

    Apple only supports updat/restoring the latest iOS for your model device.
    For an iPhone 3G and later that is iOS 6.1.3. You can't go to 6.0.
    If you are getting that error when trying to go to 6.1.3
    3194

  • Why does apple only make 32 and 64 gb ipod 5's? The price went up, so i cant afford a new one

    Why?

    Apple, like a lot of companies, does market analysis to determine what the buyers want.  Products are then manufactured to satisfy the largest majority of customers...they have to make economic decisions about the numbers of products based on predicted sales.  So, the larger storage devices are what their market decisions said should be provided.

  • HT204074 "Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it." Then why does iTunes not let me authorize any more than 5 devices?

    Why can't I authorize more than 5 devices if the help information says I can have 10?

    Probably because of the GUIDs. When you upgrade or change hardware this tends to happen, especially on PCs.

  • HT5784 Why does Apple only "update" to already outdated versions

    Hi, why can't Apple update to current stable versions of OpenSSL (1.0.1e), Ruby (2.0), Rails (3.2.13), etc. Why can't Apple ship current stable versions of all the command line tools like emacs, vi, zsh, ruby, python, etc. And Rails 2 must be a joke, that's extremely outdated. Why is this?
    I don't understand it. Sure I can upgrade my userland myself with Homebrew, etc. but it would be nice if Apple won't forget the pro users and therefore will ship a modern userland.
    It looks like there was a time when current versions were shipped, but now it's not interesting anymore and only security fixes are released.
    Any thoughts on that?

    The bash version used in Mavericks is 6 years old.
    That is a completely different issue. Bash, and a few other key pieces of open source software, switched to the GPLv3 license sometime in 2007. That license was designed specifically to keep Apple from using the software.
    The version of bash on Mavericks is all that you will ever, ever get unless you build your own. I suggest trying out zsh which is under no such licensing contraints. The lastest version of zsh is included in Mavericks.
    Do you think it helps to create a feature request to update OpenSSL, etc. at radar.apple.com ? (I am thinking about Mac OS X 10.10)
    That would be a good idea. While I understand Apple's approach, it isn't great from a marketing perspective. Apple really does need to switch to the latest OpenSSL, even if only for appearance's sake.

  • Does apple TV let you stream videos from safari using your iPad 2x?

    I'm considering on buying an apple tv but if it only has those 10 apps it can stream from my Xbox is capable of doing so as well. If apple tv doesn't stream using safari how can I have that option available so I can watch online videos on the iPad 2x using safari Internet browser?

    http://www.apple.com/appletv/what-is/  Provides a lot information about apple tv, review it.
    Also if you're using airplay mirroring and choose the full screen option from a video player in safari it'll play full screen on your apple tv.

  • Why does apple not let me reauthorise all pcs i recently purchased a macbook pro and i cannot transfer my iPhone purchases onto my mac

    it says i have authorised 5 computers i have not authorised 5 computers and its not letting my deauthorise all computers it says october 2012... cant wait that long could you people plz tell me how to sort this matter out

    If you "deauthorized all" last October then you cannot do it again for another 12 months.
    Since you just purchased a MBP you may be eligible for free support from AppleCare. If anyone can authorize another "deathorize all" it would be AppleCare so call them.

  • Why does Premiere only let me put audio in the sequence?

    I have a few videos taken with iPhones that I have used Media Encoder to make 100% certain they are compatable with Premiere. I have even edited these videos using different projects and exporting them also to make sure they are compatible. When I make a new project to edit these videos together, something messes up. I am able to import the first video and put it in the sequence and everything works fine. I then import the second video and everything looks fine till I try to add it to the sequence, it only shows up as audio when adding to the sequence. Both videos have audio and video when watching them in QuickTime and when watching the preview in Premiere. Any ideas as to what is causing this and how to fix it?

    If you're on PPro CC, then check whether Source Patching is enabled for a video track. If not, that would explain why only audio is being inserted in the sequence.

  • Why does adobe not let you manage the computers your accounts are set up with from the online service?

    ?? They expect you to deauthorize from that computer, but if you sell that computer you don't have access to it anymore. HELLO?? Anyone at Adobe try thinking that far ahead or is it done on purpose to screw the customers? I have to active creative cloud memberships but only one computer using it with 4 computers signed up with only 1 actively using it because I don't have access to the other ones to deactivate the computers creative cloud is active on. Adobe recommends reinstalling creative cloud and deactivating, but here's a newsflash, if you don't own those computers anymore YOU CANT DO IT. It is not that hard to activate and deactivate computers "FROM THE CLOUD" especially on a service called "CREATIVE CLOUD" because Microsoft and apple do it with Office 365 and any Mac product. I take it my only solution is to cancel my credit card??

    Before complaining that something can't be done, a simple question of HOW to do something would be better... there IS a way to deactivate a computer you don't have access to physically

  • In Address Book, why does Apple let you create custom fields in the Template cards but not have them available for importing?

    I open Address Book, go into Preferences, select Template and under the Names field (friend, assistant, father, etc) I add a custom field called "Principal".
    I also add two more custom fields in the Email area.
    Quit Address Book then relaunch. Add a new contact and the new custom fields, Principal, etc. are there. All good so far.
    I have a Now Contact file with about 200 contacts in it. I export all fields as a Text file, Tab delimited. No problems there. With Address Book launched, select Import, pick the text file, leave Text Encoding on Automatic and click Open.
    The window that shows the fields for Address Book and fields for the text file side by side opens. This is where you match up the correct fields for importing. If I go to one of the fields from the text file that I created a custom field for, click under the Address Book heading on the Do not import, scroll thru the Apple choices of fields, none of the custom fields show up. Only the original Apple ones are there. Why does Apple let you create them in the Template area but not have them available for importing? Does anyone have suggestions on getting around this?

    While most likely not of interest to you, Spotlight can also tell you where the files it finds are located
    Hover the mouse pointer over the name, and press Command-Option and the path to the file will be displayed.
    As for opening a terminal session in the directory where a file is located, there is Applescripts that do just that as well as specific features in Lion/Mountain Lion terminal:

  • Why does Apple misslead us selling what appears to be Game of Thrones Season 2 when in fact all it is - is a few trailers and the actual program is only available 18th Feb - this gives me a real bad feeling toward Apple and its branding!!!! deceitful

    Why does Apple misslead us by selling what appears to be Season 2 Game Of Thrones when in fact it is only some timewasting trailers and the actual program is only available on 18th February 2013!
    Deceitful comes to mind....
    I am sure they will say it is in the small print and you should have read it and what you got was these 'Really Cool Trailers'......but come on Apple - don't screw up your BRAND now if you carry on you will have a core problem! My trust is waning.
    Its is not like Aple will be stocked-out on the 18th February is it - in reality I guess they just want the money upfront well in advance of delivering the product....just not on Steve will be turning in his grave.....

    etresoft, I think you are being unnecessarily harsh to gloriastitz. She is frustrated and doesn't understand computers at the level you do. What she is experiencing is frustrating, so she is frustrated. I have been a help-desk professional for over 15 years now, and emotions are part of the business.
    I know it has been over 6 months since gloriastitz posted her reply. I hope she got a useful answer, but I fear we have satisfactorily scared her away from seeking help.
    So, the first best response to tell someone is that the problem they are experience is almost certainly fixable, but may require more information to solve. You tell them you understand their frustration (even if you personally don't experience frustration or don't understand why people my express frustration publicly about a problem that frustrates them). It's just good protocol.
    Then you work with the person to break down the problem into steps. If you don't have a ready answer and don't think you might even know the answer with sufficient data, then back out and leave it to others to tackle.
    I've been having a similar problem with my Mail program. The cause is still unclear to me after vieweing the logs and changing settings where I know them to be. There appears to be a setting that is not clearly placed in any of the typical UI locations for initiating the desired action for either a feed: or mailto: call.

    I think you are. This is not a place to rant and complain. It will just encourage people to give you unhelpful responses. If you want to complain, go elsewhere. If you want help, ask for it.
    For example, can you explain what those dialog boxes actually say? Regardless of who is starting Mail, it will not prevent your machine from sleeping.

  • Why do most HD movies only let you rent not buy???

    Why do most HD movies only let you rent and not buy in HD, ***??

    I see a lot of the opposite: older movies that you can only buy, but not rent. Example: Talking about Adam Sandler, I remembered a great movie of his, Punch Drunk Love. Checked it on AppleTV and you can buy it for $9.99 but can't rent it... even though it's been out for 7 years. I can drive 3 blocks and rent it from Blockbuster or just get it on my NetFlix for no incremental cost this Thursday.
    Sheesh. Apple missed a $4 or $5 spontaneous rental.
