You Cannot Authorize More than 5 Computers...

Hello,
I have a new Dell laptop running Vista. I waited until a new version of iTunes came out and downloaded 7.1 this morning. I backed up all my songs which has been successful and it looks like the album cover art is there too.
I continue to get this message which says:
You cannot authorize more than 5 computers...
You have already authorized 5 computers with this account. to authorize this computer you must first deauthorize one of the other computers.
I read the KB article and quite frankly am totally confused. My old laptop has been reformatted and given to a friend. iTunes was not installed on it.
How do I get rid of this annoying message? Should I attempt to synch up my Nano or wait first until I get help with this message. Sorry the KB about deauthorizing and authorizing is very confusing to me.
All I'm doing is trying to get my iTunes installed on a new laptop restored with all my old songs.
Thanks in advance for any help.

See this article.

Specifically this part:
" If you find you have reached 5 authorizations due to system upgrades, you can reset your authorization count by clicking Deauthorize All in the Account Information screen. Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than 5 authorized computers or if you have used this option within the last 12 months."
This is what you may need to do.

"You cannot authorize more than five computers"

I am unable to play any of my music that I have bought from iTunes music store because when I try to play my music on my new computer it says "You cannot authorize more than five computers". In fact, I only have four computers using my iTunes music account. Any suggestions?

hmmmm. perhaps check to see if you've ended up with multiple authorisations on one of those computers:

TS1474 my PC data corrupted, new data loaded, when I try to sync my I phone, massage comes, you cannot authorize more than five computers

After reforamatting my PC, & reloading all data. I tried to sync my I Phone to I tunes. Massage comes U can't authorize more than five computers.

In iTunes, select iTunes Store under STORE (left panel), select your Apple ID (top right).
Sign in and in Account Infomation, click the De-authorise All button.
After that sign in your new computer.
(Note: you can only do this ONCE a year)

"You Cannot Authorize More than 5 Computers" I havn't though!

Hello,
I just accidentally put all my music files in the recycling bin. After I restored them, Itunes told me to Authorize the songs again... then it told me I had already authorized more than 5 computers. It's quite odd because I only own 3 computers.
Any help please?

Anyone else have the issue where, after the 8,3 upgrade, you cannot access more than 1 exchange account on your iPhone? This is annoying to me as I need to access 4 daily and cannot due to this error.

Anyone else have the issue where, after the 8,3 upgrade, you cannot access more than 1 exchange account on your iPhone? This is annoying to me as I need to access 4 daily and cannot due to this error.
The first one, my private home email, works fine. With the other 3, I get the message "Cannot get mail: The connection to the server failed"
All were working fine before the 8.3 upgrade. I did try the old trick of making one minor change on the account and resaving, but that did not change anything. I even deleted my work account and re-entered it from scratch, but again, sadly, no luck. For the time being, I am successfully getting the email via IMAP, but this ***** compared to exchange. Anyone have any idea what is happening or if a fix is in the works?

Well, the one set up on exchange 2k3 is now working fine, although no changes were made on either the iPhone or the exchange side, so that's fun, but it still is throwing errors when connecting to the other 2 exchange accounts. The common elements are that both non-functioning exchange accounts are google apps for business accounts. So is one of the ones that's working, by the way. The settings on both accounts are the same as the one that's working, and both worked fine before the 8.3 upgrade. I have no issue accessing both of these accounts on my ipad which is currently on 8.2.x. If it's not the iphone OS at fault, I'm at a loss as to what it could be.

Message: 'You cannot set more than 30 breakpoints' - None set

Hi,
I am trying to debug a standard program.
When trying to set a dynamic breakpoint, I get a small dialog screen asking me for the main program. Once selected, I receive the following message:
'You cannot set more than 30 breakpoints'
Debugging using /h from the main program would take a very long time.
I checked and no breakpoints are set (Utilities > Breakpoints > Display).
What do I do? Please help.
Thanks,
John

You can only have five computers authorized for one iTunes account. You need to deauthorize another computer and then authorize this computer. If yu do not have access to the other computers you can deauthorthize all computer and then authorize the one you want. You can only deauthorize all once a year. See the following for how to deauthorize all.

Cannot authorize more than 5 computers

It seems that I already have five computers authorized to my iTunes account, but my issue is that two of the five computers were stolen. Is any way that I could reset my account to deauthorize all the computers and start from scratch? Thanks in advance.

Use the Deauthorize All command documented in this article.

ITunes will not allow me to authorize more than 5 computers.

I'm getting this message ob my new iMac from iTunes. You cannot authorize more than 5 computers.
You have already authorized this computer you must first deauthorize one of the computers. I did that with my old computer. did a clean install on other with Mac OS X. Anybody can help would be appreciated. Thank you for looking.

If you go to your account under the Store menu in iTunes - you will have the option to deauthorize all machines (if you do have 5 authorized). I think you can only do this once a year. Then you need to authorize the machines you still use.
A clean install does not do anything to the authorization, it's stored on your account at the iTunes store.

You can not authorize more than 5 computers

I have music on my MacBook Pro, in iTunes, that I want to use, but it comes from an old account, that I don't use anymore, and some computers/iPods that are really not working. When I want to ear those musics/songs, I receive this message, when trying to enter the account, old, not the actual one: "you can not authorize more than 5 computers"
What can I do?

I quote:
You can deauthorize all computers connected to your Apple ID if you've reached the maximum five authorizations:
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/).
(end quote): once done you can then re-authorise computers as needed.

HT202213 How can I authorize more than 5 computers with the same Apple ID?

Somebody knows how to authorize more than 5 computers with the same Apple ID? I have One Apple IMac, Apple TV, I-PAD, 2 HP PC's, One I-Phone and one I-Pod Touch. I would like to have the possibility to use as I wish the same Apple ID on one of those without deauthorizing another one.

"Somebody knows how to authorize more than 5 computers with the same Apple ID? "
You cannot.
Authorization applies ONLY to computers. Ipods/ipads/iphones/Apple TVS are NOT authorized at all.

Itunes cannot authorise more than 5 computers

Within iTunes, I cannot get my work PC's iTunes to log into iTunes Match. It says I cannot authorise more than 5 devices. I have deleted devices, so that all that remains is a couple of iPads and a Macbook. It is still saying this message. It is very frustrating.
Please help me.

These steps may help you :
Begin by opening the iTunes program and going to the iTunes Store via the iTunes Store button in the top right.
Once you're at the iTunes Store, click on the Sign In button at the top left corner (if you're not signed in) or on your account name in the same location (if you're already signed in).
This will bring you to your iTunes account. In the top box, you'll see a section labelled Computer Authorizations towards the bottom. Next to it is a button that reads Deauthorize All. Click it.
A window will pop up asking you to confirm that this is what you want to do. Continue.
In just a few seconds, all 5 computers on your account will be deauthorized.
Now, re-authorize just the computers that you still use and you'll be all set.
Other Useful Notes About iTunes Deauthorization
1. It's important to note that the Deauthorize All option is only available when you've used all 5 authorizations for your account and can only be used once every 12 months.
2. If you no longer have access to a computer using one or your authorizations, or that computer no longer works, it can be pretty difficult to remove that authorization. In that case, it may be better to use friends' computers to reach the 5 authorization limit and then follow the Deauthorize All steps above.
