HT1420 how to deauthorize a computer that is not working

I have a few computers on my acct that are no longer working. I can't turn them on to deauthorize them. Is there a way that I can do this from my current computer?

Yes.
For computers: You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. Otherwise you can "deauthorize all" from your iTunes account.
Open iTunes on a computer
From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
Under "Computer Authorizations" select "Deauthorize All".
Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "deauthorize all" your authorized computers, authorize each one as required.
It is also possible to have mistakenly authorized a computer more than once. To fix that:
Open iTunes.
From the Store menu, choose "Deauthorize This Computer…"
Enter your account name and password.
Click OK. A message appears reading "This computer has been successfully deauthorized."
Click OK.
Repeat steps 2 through 5 above. If you see the same message reading: "This computer has been successfully deauthorized," then your computer was using multiple authorizations.
Repeat steps 2 through 5 above until you see a message reading "This computer was not authorized. To authorize this computer, play a song or video you have purchased using this account."

    how to deauthorize a computer that is not with me anymore?

    If you log into your account via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes then on your account's screen (under the 'Apple ID Summary' heading) there should be a 'Computer Authorisations' line with a 'Deauthorise All' button to the right of it - you can only 'deauthorise all' once every 12 months.

    I have Dreamweaver cs5.5 on a computer that is not working and in the shop. Can I download a trial dreamweavercs6 on my new laptop with the intention of upgrading when I get my desktop back?

    You are welcome to utilize the trial for up to 30 days.   There is not a requirement that you need to purchase the software.
    You may also want to post in the Dreamweaver forum to see if there will be any compatibility issues if you do decide to return to Dreamweaver CS5.5.  You can find the Dreamweaver forum at http://forums.adobe.com/community/dreamweaver.

    You cannot deauthorize a computer that you do not have access to.
    You would have to deauthorize all, then authorize the active computers.

  • How do I deauthorize a computer that does not have access to the internet

    How does one deauthorize a computer that cannot connect to the internet?

    You can deauthorize all computers linked to your Apple ID from another computer with Internet access.
    To deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID
    If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
    Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
    If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
    Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
    In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
    Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).

  • Deactivating from a computer that is not working.

    So I just purchased an new computer to replace an old one that is not working. (I was due for an upgrade so I didnt bother trying to repair it) I need to install my CS6 to my new laptop, but I first need to deactivate the programs from the old computer. Th only issue is that computer won't even bring me to start screen. It just turns on and stays black, but lit. SO, I would like to know if there is anyway to deactivate my software from my old computer to let me install it on my new, without sending my old laptop to get repaired.
    Thank you for your time.

    Call Adobe Customer Support in your country and get them to deactivate it.

  • How do I deauthorize a computer that no longer works?

    I am trying to convert all of my music from my iPhone to my new Macbook, however it keeps telling me that my Apple ID is authorized to 5 computers already. But my Apple ID is technically only connected to one other computer that works, as the other four are past computers that we have sold or traded in or just plain don't work anymore. How do I deauthorize those so I can have my music on my new computer?

    Taylor,
    Go into your account and use the Deauthorize All button as shown.  Then re-authorize just the computer(s) that you still want to use.

  • How to authorise a computer that's not connected to the internet?

    i use my the computer in my studio to watch dvd's all the time - who needs a tv when you've got a cinema display? the thing is, i recently purchased some tv episodes from itunes to watch on my studio computer - however, when i try to play them, i get that "this computer is not authorised to play blah blah bah" message. i also get this when i plug my ipod into itunes and try to play my itunes purchased tracks via this computer. when i try to sign in so as to authorise it, it tells me no network is detected.
    well, thats because this particular isn't connected to the internet. it's old, it doesn't have wifi, and it's my work computer, so i dont want internet on it anyway - i'd never get anythong done!
    so, with most programs requiring you to register/autorize your computer, there's always an option for "if this computer isn't connected to the internet" . however, i didn't see how to use this option for itunes.
    which is odd, since every other company in creation has this option right there on the authorization screen.
    for the record, i DO NOT WANT TO PUT THIS COMPUTER ON THE INTERNET. it's kind of old, and therefore delecate. so disentangling it from the various studio equipment it's attached to and moving it, along with the big cinema display, to the upstairs room where the ethernet cable is, will not only be a giant pain in the *$$, but also will quite possibly break something - like i said, it's old, it's bones are brittle and it has arthritis and it's happiest left right were it is - to move it is, i believe, to invite disaster.
    but i'm confidant apple has provided a solution for this, seeing as all the other software companies i purchase from have managed to so, anyone know how to do this?

    "No it is not reasonable. As stated by Jobs in his 'We hate DRM' letter, they are forced to keep the DRM as uncrackable as possible. So this stuff has to remain in an online state."
    itunes seems to be bending over backwards on this. amazon.com doesn't seem to have this problem for one.
    "you would find that nearly any sofwtare with some kind of offline registration scheme is easily cracked."
    i dont spend that much time digging around for cracked software (i prefer to pay for it) but to the best of my knowledge the software i'm thinking of isn't easily available in cracked form. their registration/authorization process is vigorous, but still includes an offline option.
    "Nope. Wrong. Notice how it only their music that has these online restrictions and that none of Apple's other software does this. The difference as explained above is clear. Apple has their hands tied on the matter for now."
    i probably wouldn't be half so pi... annoyed if my macbook didn't just break down a week after the warrantee ran out. apple's free pass on their weaker points has expired as far as i'm concerned. i suppose there will continue to be disciples, but i'm about ready to sell all 5 of my apples and switch to the darkside.
    anyone want a black ibook with a broken dvd drive and no warrantee? going cheap, yours for 30 pieces of silver.

  • How to deauthorize a computer , that doesn't exist anymore?

    I unisnstalled windows , and for some reason when i inserted my ipod to the freshly installed windows+itunes , and logged on my account , iTunes said , that its a new computer and asked me to authorize it , and so i did.
    My question is: how can i deauthorize my old version of windows , that doesn't exist anymore?
    I also have another question in this topic : When i want to buy items from itunes from a new device , it asks for my bank card number , and takes 1-2 dollars from it. Is this ok?

    Take a look at this Apple support article; it may help:
    One computer using multiple iTunes Store authorizations
    When i want to buy items from itunes from a new device , it asks for my bank card number , and takes 1-2 dollars from it. Is this ok?
    I'm not sure what you mean by this. What "items"? If you are referring to music, videos or movies, you get only one download per purchase, so if you buy the items again, whether from another device or the same one, yes, you will be charged again. Only apps allow redownloading without additional charge.
    Regards.

  • HT1420 how to deauthorize broken computer on my account

    i have no luck with computers i have gone through 5 laptops and didnt deauthorize them.  Now i have a new computer but itunes wont let me authorize it. As  it has already got 5 authorized
    help please

    Individual computers can only be deauthorised directly on them, but if you have 2 or more computers authorised then you can log into your account on your computer's iTunes (Store > View My Account) and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then authorise/reauthorise the computers that you still have and need : authorising and deauthorising.

  • HT1420 Need to deauthorize old computers that no longer work

    I have three old computers on my account. They are inoperable so I can't deauthorize them. What do I do? Thank you, Barbara

    If you've got 5 computers authorised for the account in question, and you need to free up authorizations, I'd do a "Deauthorize All" from one of the computers you have access to, and then reauthorize the computers you have access to.
    For instructions, see the following document:

  • How to identify a role that is not working

    In what table or through witch function module can I see that there's a problem with a user's role via ABAP?
    I have a role that seems to be fine when I search it with  function module PRGN_READ_USERS_FOR_ONE_AGR. But when I search it with SU01, it appears with a red threshold and the user can not acctually access the functionalities of that role.
    What I need is to know, though my ABAP code,  which users returned by PRGN_READ_USERS_FOR_ONE_AGR do not really have the role working properly.
    Any ideas of how can I get this information?
    Thanks in advance,
    Carol.

    I am an ABAP developer, not a role administrator. I am writing a code that assigns roles to users based on other roles that they have. What I am trying to do is to make my program more robust by not assigning a role if this other role have any sort of problem. The standard function I am using, PRGN_READ_USERS_FOR_ONE_AGR, does not identify that there is a problem and neather can it be identified through the table AGR_USERS.
    Got it?
    Carol
