OK, because of all the problems I was having with blackra1n, I had to restore my device s0o0o many times. After the last straw of not getting blackra1n to run, I went back and reinstalled all my apps and music.

During the process it said some apps were not authorized to be installed for whatever strange reason, so, I went and authorized the same PC I've been using the entire time since I've had my phone, and it said I have now authorized two of my available 5 computers. What's that about? Any way I can get the number back to one?

You can deauthorize the computers by going to the "Store" tab and selecting Deauthorize computer. I believe once you go into that tab it gives you the option to deauthorize all computers and then you can reauthorize the one you wish.

Not until you've authorized a total of 5 computers do you get the option to deauthorize all.

Thats not true. I did it about a month ago with only 3 computers authorized.

iTunes will only allow you to deauthorize all computers once a year. If you need more than that I think you will have to call Apple. If you go back and check your iTunes, there is no longer a deauthorize all.

Hmm...

I just did what youngbinks suggested and it seemed to do the trick. Since I had authorized two PCs, I just deauthorized my computer twice, then went back in and reauthorized again. Upon doing that it said I authorized one of my available 5.

As I said, you won't be able to deauthorize all again for one year.

I don't need to deauthorize all as I only use one PC. I even authorized a few more PCs and then deauthorized all, and it still said I authorized only one of 5 lol

Didn't work for me. I had a similar problem to evo and now have 4/5 authorized and only want two of them authorized. I'm probably authorize my sisters computer tonight, so I get to 5 and then just unauthorize all.

I always thought you could only ever de authorise computers when you had 5 out of 5 authorised too. That defiantly used to be the case.

Must be a tweak, and a good one at that.
