Ok, thanks Nicholas; your instructions seem pretty straight forward and understandable given how databases work.
Thanks I'll keep this for when I hit the brick wall.

All too frequently :( The solution is a bit harsh, but easily applied and fixed... Authorise one of the machines... filling your five slots. Then log in to your iTunes account (top right of iTunes screen) Under Computer Authorizations you should now see an De-authorize all machines (This will ONLY appear IF you have FIVE machines authorized AND you have not done this in the last six months). Click on this button It will ask you some confirmation Now you have to re-authorise ALL the machines you now wanted to be authorized Hope this helps -- Nicholas Pyers (nicho...@appleusers.org) Founder & Publisher, AppleUsers.org http://www.appleusers.org/ -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Unsubscribe - <mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au> No virus found in this incoming message.
