Re: [MacGroup] iTunes and Authorized devices

[John Robinson]

Beth,

Not sure I know the right answer.  The iPods don't count in the 5, you sync 
those with your main computer where you want to store all your data.  You can 
sync a dozen iPods or iPhones & you will still have the 5 computers.  

How this will work when the older computers have a version of iTunes so 
outdated I can't answer.   I have always started with de-authorizing everything 
& starting over, but you say there are none listed so it sounds like you might 
have more than one iTunes account.   

I started buying from iTunes long before Apple came out with iCloud.   This has 
made for a continual mess as part of my purchases are under "aye.net", then 
there are many under iCloud.   I've ask Apple many times to combine the files 
but they don't allow, I'm guessing it's  because this would reduce the number 
of accounts they can advertise listed with them. 

 They have tried to solve the problem with Family sharing but it's not perfect, 
especially with iBooks.  

Hopefully others will know about the likelihood of all the older versions of 
iTunes playing well with each other.  

John

[Chris Denny]

It's not a big deal to unauthorize all of your Macs. The only thing you will 
have to do is sign back in to each MAC when you are prompted.

[MacGroup] iTunes and Authorized devices

[Beth Phillips]

For years I have been the like the shoemaker’s kid who never had shoes. I’ve 
used Macs at my job since the mid-1980’s, but never had a new one for home. I 
typically inherited old Macs when we no longer needed them at work, so I am 
always behind the 8-ball with my personal Mac use and working with older 
technology. I just got my first shiny new laptop of my very own and am trying 
to get things moved over to this computer. I want to get my iTunes library, 
etc. set up but I received a message saying that too many devices are 
authorized so I can’t add this Mac.

I have an iPhone and iPad, but have never downloaded my music to either. I have 
an older 2nd or 3rd generation iPod and it is authorized. When I tried to check 
for managed devices in iTunes it only listed the iPhone and nothing else. It 
does show that there are 5 computers authorized to use my library. I’m assuming 
those are all the older Macs laying around here, but at least one of them 
doesn’t even work any more. I see there is a a Deauthorize All button. Will 
this deauthorize a computer I can’t even boot and is there a place to see a 
list of which computers these are? I may want some to stay authorized at this 
point. Most of these devices will be OS X Lion or older. (Told you I used some 
old equipment.) If I need to reauthorize one at some point, to work on an older 
project for example, would I be able to do that given that it will be on such 
an old OS? Will Deauthorizing all deauthorize my older iPod? This is what 
happens when you are a tightwad and don’t keep up with the latest technology. 
Thanks for any help!

Re: [MacGroup] Safari

[William Rising]

For whatever it is worth, I haven't had any trouble with Safari. I do, however, 
block ads, so perhaps the cause for Safari hanging is the advertising.

Anne I have a MacBookAir with 10.12.3 and FireFox 49.0.2. With Safari 10.0.3 I 
keep getting the tho old beach ball all the time and hangups. USING FireFox 
everything has been working with out any of that.
Hope that helps.
