Question

This computer is no longer authorized....???

Mar 12, 2012 4:47AM PDT

Hi everyone!

I am going slightly nuts at the moment.

Every two days or so when I sync my phone with my iTunes library, my macbook says "this computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the iphone."

It then asks me if I want to authorize my computer. I then have 2 out of the 5 authorized. But of course it is the same phone and macbook from the start.

When I reach 5 out of 5, I have to email Apple again to deauthorize my computer because you can only do that once a year yourself.

I tried everything! Resetting phone, restoring phone, reinstall phone, setting up as a new one etc. I also completely wiped my macbook and reinstalled everything.

Anybody here with the magic answer?

Thank you!
