1) How do I deauthorize the old computer from iTunes? I authorized this one, and it's all "now you've authorized two of your five!" and the only "deauthorize" option seems to be deauthorizing *this* computer, which I don't want.
From someone on a macrumors forum:
You can go to your account preferences in the Music Store.
To get to this, when you are signed in click on your account name in the top right of iTunes.
it will ask for your PW type it in.
Then you should have to option to de-authorize computers on your account.
Then you can re-authorise the ones you need as you see fit.
I think you might only be able to do this either once a year, or only on a computer that is authorised though.
I also found this [link] to Apples's authorization page.
I think you might only be able to do this either once a year, or only on a computer that is authorised though.
I looked into this a while back. I think the way to go (or the way Apple wants you to go) is to just wait until you reach the five-computer limit, and then deauthorize all the computers you're no longer using at once.
You might be able to ask them in the email form at the bottom of the Apple link, maybe they can do it one-on-one.
Worth a try.
Has anyone ever had their Tivo get stuck on the "Almost there..." screen. We had a power outage several hours ago and the Tivo seems to have come back wrong.
I've had that happen before, Stephanie. I left it unplugged overnight, and then it worked OK in the morning.
Stephanie, try pulling the plug and letting it cool down for a few minutes. Try the FAQ at www.tivocommunity.com for your next steps....
Anyone use Skype? Thoughts?
Hmm. Guess I'll just wait and deauthorize if it becomes a problem.
I'll try out Senuti--have you used it, Daniel?
Oh, weird. Hooked up my iPod prior to trying senuti, and iTunes actually said "you have purchased music on your ipod that's not on itunes, do you want to move it to itunes?" and DID IT! Yay. I may have had other stuff that wasn't backed up, but those were the things I really wanted or knew about...
