ITunes For Mac :: How To Deauthorize All Computers Without Having Access To Any Of 5
Dec 5, 2014
I have authorized the max amount of computers allowed. I no longer have access to any of the five computers. How can I deauthorize all computer without access to them or capability of authorizing my new computer.
Okay so here's my setup: IPhone MacBook Pro (10.6.2) Mac mini (10.6.2) Airport Extreme with a USB Hard Drive
I would like to set up one ITunes Library so both of my computers can access it. Furthermore I would like to be able connect my IPhone to any of the computers in the house and sync my music, podcasts and applications as normal. Here's what I've tried so far (which worked with my music, but didn't work with podcasts and IPhone application, etc).
1. Copied all the music to my Mac mini. 2. Opened iTunes Preferences and pointed my library to the 'Music' my NAS drive. 3. Went to File > Library > Organise > Consolidate Library. Now my NAS iTunes library has all my music, but has no library file or XML file in it. Plus if I add ratings to any of my music, the information is not transferred over to my other computer.
I have all my music on my home computer. I now have a new MacBook Air, and I want to be able to share my music library, just like I do with my calendars, contacts, email, etc. I'm using iCloud for all those things, but can't figiure out the iTunes part.

I need to de-authorize a computer that was recycled I while back. I need to de-authorize just that computer. I don't want to de authorize all, how do I de authorize that computer without that computer? There is only an option for de authorizing all but not for de authorizing all
How Do I Deauthorize My iTunes Account on an Dead Computer,when I mean Dead it won't turn on anymore..Now how can I do it remotely from my MacBook Pro?
I have recently gotten a new macbook pro, but I cannot sync my music that I bought on my phone because I have authorized five computers to my Apple ID already. However, I cannot access those other computers anymore. Is there a way that I can still deauthorize those computers, but keep the ability to play music on my new laptop?
When I was using my mobile.me account I was able to access my office computer from home but now nothing. I only see what's on my local network. I've tried signing in with my mobile.me account on all computers but nothing happens still not seeing the office computer. What changed?

I'm running Mavericks on my late 2013 MacBook Pro. When I try to access a shared computer on my network, the Finder window closes as soon as I click on the computer I want to access. File sharing is turned on on the target computers, both iMacs, one is running Mavericks and the other is running Mountain Lion. The iMacs can access the MacBook Pro and each other without a problem. Firewall is not on on the iMac. Is there a setting I am missing

I've reached my 5 computer limit of authorization. Problem is, I've only used two computers as I have been reinstalled Windows a few times this past year. Is there any way to get around this, or will it mean I won't be able to sync my phone correctly anymore?
I am trying to enable home sharing and I get an error message you already have 5 computers you need to de-authorize 1. How cna I tell what 5 are authorize. I suspect that some computers I know longer have are on the authorize list.
I recently had 2 computers that were destroyed by a flood and now I cannot de-authorize them (I have used the de-authorize all computers in Sept. of last year)
Is there a way to remotely deauthorize computers from itunes? My songs were all authorized to play on my computer all of a sudden some are deauthorized and are asking me to authorize it again. Then it says 5 computers are already authorized. I only have 2 in my house right now. The screwy thing is they used to be authorized on this computer anyway.
Is there any way I can deauthorize all my computers from itunes without waiting for the exact date that apple just assigned to me? I find this very annoying and unuseful specially for people who are purchasing Mac computers every year I cannot deauthorize old computers because I need to wait for a certain period of time before I can deauthorize for what?
I have more than 5 computers authorised to use my account and want my new laptop to have access. I don't have access to the other computers anymore - how do i stop them from having access and allow my new laptop access?
I used the "Deauthorize All" from my iTunes account to remove computers I not long have access to. I only authorized two computers and I still get an error at times (only sometimes) telling me that I already have 5 computers authorized. I have a household of Apple devices using iTunes but only two computer.
I have lost my harddrive which contains a vast amount of music I've been collecting for many years. I just purchased a new Mac, but I've reached my activation limit. And I only have access to 2 of the 5 activated computers. My old music can still be played on my iPod, but I need to set up another account on my new Mac. What will happen to my music if I were to deactivate all of activated computers?
I want to use the same Itunes library on two computers. I currently have the "Itunes Music" folder on the external hard drive. This works for one machine, but the library files are still on the internal drive. So, if I go into preferences on a different machine, I can point it to the same folder, but it doesn't have the library files.
I found a cheat method I've used before, I use tweakUI to move the My Music folder to the external drive, for both machines, and Itunes puts everything there.
I have searched, googled, etc., and not found a satisfactory answer. Briefly, I have used my ITunes on our MBP and on an old Dell PC. At various times I have downloaded music, TV shows, movies etc to either system. Our AppleTV syncs with the Dell and purchased stuff is on there. I just bought a new 27" IMac and a qnap NAS. I want all the media to be on the NAS. How do I go about "merging" the ITunes data from the two computers into a single file on the NAS drive? Is there a way to do so - without losing stuff or without having to individually go through every single song, show, movie, etc.?
