My iTunes account won't let me authorize my computer. I have Windows 8 and have only 3 devices authorized through my account. What should I do?
iPhone 4S, Windows 8, Authorizing my computer
Howdy scrafts,
I would suggest this article named iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1277
- Open Computer from the Start menu.
- From the Organize menu, choose Folder and Search Options.
- Click the View tab.
- In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders," make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
- Click OK.
- Navigate to the following location by either typing it into the address bar, copying and pasting it into the address bar, or clicking through the folder hierarchy listed:C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes
- Right-click the SC Info folder shown and on the shortcut menu, choose Delete.
- Restart the computer.
Take care,
Sterling

Hey Sterling,
Tried this option yesterday with a customer over the phone. It didn't work; any suggestions?
