Sep 18, 2014 11:33 AMby VdkaShaker,Interesting question... if you don't have access to the other computers does that mean they are no longer on the same network? If they're not on the same network, they can't share your libraries, so is there really an issue?
Or are you really talking about authorizing a computer for your account, which means those computers can play content they previously downloaded from your account?

Sep 18, 2014 12:01 PMby VdkaShaker,Really sounds like you're referring to "iTunes in the Cloud" which is different than Home Sharing. Check out this article to see if it is in line with what you are trying to accomplish: iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID

Sep 18, 2014 12:24 PMby antoniolis,No it's not that. At first the problem was that i wanted to activate home sharing. In order to active it i had to authorize the computer and since i had already authorized 5 computers i could do it on my new laptop. So my question is: how can i unauthorize all the other computers at once, without having to access them.

You do it from iTunes on your computer by accessing your account.

In general, if you bought an app and its deleted from your phone, just re-download it again. Go to the App Store on your device, click the Purchases (on an iPhone you find Purchases under the Updates tab).

Sep 19, 2014 9:34 AMby VdkaShaker,I see your point. I usually back up all my apps to my computer so if something does get removed from the App Store I still have my copy. However, in this case Apple has replaced the iPhoto app with the Photos app in iOS 8. iPhoto does not work (even if you could get it) on iOS 8. Check out the WWDC 2014 Keynote starting at 1:13:20 for more info: http://www.apple.com/apple-events/june-2014/

This is not just an Apple thing. Yea, sometimes it *****. Sorry if this is the first time you've ever noticed it, but it't quite normal.
I may not recall all of the features of iPhoto on iOS, but it seems to me, many if not most of those have been migrated to the Photos app. If so, you really haven't lost anything; again, I don't know all of the features. However, Apple sometimes removes features and whole apps over time (e.g. on Mac OS: iMovie lost features, iDVD hasn't been updated in years, iWeb is gone, future development of Aperture has stopped, various apps of the iWork suite lost features as they were being upgraded the past year, etc.). Apple also said in the Keynote I referenced that iPhoto on Mac will go away and be replaced with a whole new Photos app to mirror the iOS features (some time next year if I recall). This is the march of technology. The license fee you paid for the iOS 7 version of iPhoto was spent and is gone. You used it. It doesn't work any more on iOS 8. Use Photos instead. Photos along with iOS 8 are free. In fact some time after you paid for iPhoto, Apple made it a free app with purchase of a new device. I never paid for iPhoto on iOS. It came free with my device. Maybe they don't do that outside the US yet? Not sure.
Who can you talk to? Call Apple and complain. I'm sure they'll listen and point you to the new app with additional features, which you got for free with your free iOS 8 upgrade.
