 Quick question: do you have five other things "authorised" under this
Apple account? I think that's the limit. I think that  there *is* a
limit. :)  

 If you do, even if some are old and dead and were lost in the
Devonian Era, you need to de-authorise at least one before Apple will
add another one. 

 Apologies if you've already thought of this.
