Dear sifu,

Unfortunately, I had authorized all 5 computers in order to sync my iPhone with different pc.
Just wish to know if there any way to reset these authorization in itunes?



Thanks!

itunes>advanced>deauthorize computer

Sorry I didn't give a clear picture......

In order to deauthorize, I have to access back to the exact computer to do so. (itunes>advanced>deauthorize computer)
However, I couldn't access to it anymore (friend's computer), but I wish to reset the authorization thru itunes online.

Any idea?

Quick Links> Account> Reset Authorized something like that laa

Alright, will give it a try later!

if i do this i must be on that particular computer physically ?

physically

You can de-authorized using the Apple Account Information, thats the info when you click on your account ID on top right next to the iTunes credit (if you have). Doing this will de-authorize all 5 computers and you need to authorize back the one you use. You also can check how many computer are already authorize.

in addition to that, this can only be done once every 12 months. anything more, it has to be directed to the apple customer support team.

nokia2003,

sure only be done once in every 12 months?

yes, ive try before
in the end, i ask itunes cust. service to reset my account

Unless U happen to be sharing ur files a lot with friends, changing 5 computers in a year is considered quite a lot!

not really, coz in case u forgot to deauthorize ur pc & its already been format, the account consider as "burn" so it left u only 4 activation available

Sifu,

Sorry, I still don't have clear picture where to reset these authorized computer ?????

Mind to share in step by step.....
Anyhow, here what I have look for.....but I couldn't find any button at all !
I enter "View Account".
There is only "reset warning" , "edit account info"( no reset authorize in here too ), etc....

i forgot the reset will ONLY appear when u have use all of the 5 activation

So, it's mean the reset button can be view in "View Account" once all 5 activation used up?
Correct me if i'm wrong.....

yes sir, correct

@gengstapo,
Er... well gotta be really hardcore to have to format a pc 5x in a year!

i didnt mean that, me also didnt know this
so, i just easily authorize all my pc until then, i dont have any of em'
after that, i wrote to itunes cust. service, they threat me nicely bout this

it happened to me once as i have 2 vista and 1 leopard. i sekaligus format 2 and the rest is pretty much self explanatory.

Thks to all sifu for sharing....
Again, I learnt more abt iPhone from this forum, really very helpful over here!!!!
