I have just purchased a new HP Pavillon with OS windows 10 and find that I cannot get this computer authorised in iTunes. I am using the most recent version of iTunes12.3.2 for Windows (64 bit). I have only one other older computer that has been authorised in iTunes. Does anyone know how to get Windows 10 OS authorised?
HP Pavillon-OTHER, Windows 10
What is the exact text of the error message, and what are you doing to trigger it? Perhaps you are confusing computer authorization with device association.
Up to 5 computers can be simultaneously authorized for each account. iPods & iOS devices are limited to DRM protected content from up to 5 different accounts. There is no limit to the number of devices that you can load up content with using iTunes. You may deauthorize computers individually using iTunes on that computer, or deauthorize all and then reauthorize those you wish to use thereafter. Upgrading or reinstalling Windows without deauthorizing first will lose one of your authorizations. You may not use deauthorize all again for a period of 1 year. Apple TVs are not counted towards this limit.
