Purchase used apple computers

Authorize or deauthorize your computer for iTunes Store purchases

Learn how to authorize your computer before you use it to sync or play content that you download from the iTunes Store.

When you authorize your Mac or PC, you give it permission to access your music, movies, and other content.

• You can authorize up to 5 computers, which means that you can play your content on 5 different computers.
• You can’t authorize a computer from another computer or from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Before you sell or give away your computer or send it in for service, deauthorize your computer to remove its access to protected purchases. For other devices, learn how to see where you’re signed in or remove devices.

Store availability and features might vary by country or region.

How to authorize a Mac or PC

1. On a Mac, open the Music app, Apple TV app, or Apple Books app. On a PC, open iTunes for Windows.
2. Sign in with your Apple ID.
3. In the menu bar on your Mac or PC, choose Account > Authorizations > Authorize This Computer.
   If you’re asked to authorize your computer again, it won’t use a new authorization. Apple ID uses the same authorization for the same computer.

See your authorized computers

To automatically sign in to your Account Information page from your computer, click here. Or follow these steps:

1. On a Mac, open the Music app, Apple TV app, or Apple Books app. On a PC, open iTunes for Windows.
2. Sign in with your Apple ID.
3. In the menu bar on your Mac or PC, choose Account > View My Account.
   
4. Sign in with your Apple ID.
5. On the Account Information page, scroll to the Apple ID Summary section. You’ll see the number of computers that you’ve authorized with your Apple ID. You can’t see the names of those computers. If you haven’t authorized 2 or more computers, you won’t see this section.
   

If the number of authorized computers listed is more than what you expect, you might not have deauthorized the computers that you no longer use, gave away, or sold. You need to deauthorize all of your computers and then authorize each one that you still use.

Deauthorize a computer

1. On a Mac, open the Music app, Apple TV app, or Apple Books app. On a PC, open iTunes for Windows.
2. From the menu bar at the top of your computer screen, choose Account > Authorizations > Deauthorize This Computer.
3. Sign in with your Apple ID.
4. Choose Deauthorize.

If you run out of authorizations, deauthorize all

If one of your 5 authorizations is on a computer that you don’t use anymore, deauthorize it. If you sold or gave away a computer that’s used one of your 5 authorizations, you need to choose Deauthorize All on the Account Information page. Then authorize each computer that you still use.

About authorizing other Apple devices

You don’t need to authorize your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or other Apple device. These devices don’t use your available authorizations. Learn how to check your Apple ID device list to see where you’re signed in and how to remove a device.

• Learn what to do if your computer keeps asking you to authorize when you try to play your content.
• You can deauthorize all computers once per year.
• If you don’t see Account in the menu bar at the top of your computer screen or the top of the Music app or iTunes window, check your Restrictions. You might have access to the iTunes Store turned off.

Question: Q: Applecare Coverage for Used Computers

Macbook Pro 2.4Ghz 160GB 4GB, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Posted on Aug 17, 2007 4:45 AM

If you buy a computer that is within it’s original warranty period — from anywhere, and then buy AppleCare — from anywhere — you can register it to the computer as long as you’re still within the original warranty period. Not a problem at all. Being an authorised reseller doesn’t come into it.

Here on the Apple Discussion Forum you are talking to other users like yourself. To really get an answer to your question you are going to have to take your question directly to Apple.

Personally my guess is they will not allow you to get Applecare on that computer.

but triple check the exterior condition of your laptop. if there’s any cosmetic damages like dents or cracked case, the applecare coverage will most likely be useless!

I just sold my 17″ macbook pro to make way for a 15″.

There’s still 2 years left on the Applecare warranty. is it possible to transfer that to the new owner?

Sep 27, 2007 12:24 PM

Yes, and its a good idea that you do transfer it properly.

Mine wasnt transfered properly and when Apple couldnt fix the second hand PowerBook and gave me a MBP the AppleCare wasnt transferable and I discovered that my credit went to original credit card. A friend of a friend purchased the PB but that credit card was stolen and six months later we are still looking for the credit. It is a real mess.

I dont have the exact steps needed but vaguely remember needing the receipt or receipt number, original purchasers name and address and new owners name and address. You fax it all to Apple and it is transfered. Hopefully someone can find you a link or you can call AppleCare.

enjoy your new 15 inchers,
frank
