Can't deauthorize computers that are no longer with us

I am in a bind. I am an instructor at a university (that's only part of my bind). Last year, I put iTunes on 4 classroom computers as well as my office computer. Over the summer, the IT folks upgraded to new machines in the classrooms and I got a new one in my office. I didn't remember to deauthorize any of them before they dissapeared.
Now, I can't listen to music that I paid for. Is there a work-around for this?

If you have run out oc authorisation becuse you have used up all five, you can deauthorise all your computers from your store account.

Look under: How do I deauthorize all of my computers?
You can only do this once a year, so you need to remember to deauthorize PC that are not in use or going to be upgraded.

  • How do you deauthorize computers that are no longer functional?

    How do you deauthorize computers that are no longer functional?

    i followed the directions to deauthorize one "fried" computer and one old Windows laptop i no longer use from my new MacBook Pro.  When i go into iTunes on my new MacBook Pro, however, iTunes says i still have 5 authorized computers and i can't set up my music on my laptop using iTunes Match.  I did not deauthorize all my computers because i still have an iphone and two ipads.  Now that i've invoked deauthorize, what am i supposed to do for the next 12 months until i can deauthorize again?

  • How can I deauthorize computers that I no longer own or have access to?

    I need to deauthorize computers that I no longer own or have access to. How can I do this?
    Thanks

    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
    For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.

  • HT202213 I need to delete computers that are no longer active from my home sharing account, how do I do this?

    I need to delete computers that are no longer active from my itunes Home sharing account so that I can sign up the new computers.  I am using a Mac laptop. The computers that were previously linked to the Homesharing are no longer available, they have been wiped and are not in the house anymore.   Does anyone know how to do this?

    The apps aren't stored in your personal iCloud account and don't use any of your storage.  They are only stored in the App store.  The iCloud symbols are only links to your previous purchases in the App store so you can download them again.  If you don't want to see certain apps, you can hide them in iTunes on your computer as explained here: iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases.  Once hidden in iTunes, you should no longer see them on your phone.

  • TS2972 How do I deauthorize computers that I no longer have?

    How do I deauthorize computers that I no longer have access to?  It's been a long time since I first started using iTunes and didn't think to deauthorize a computer when we took it out of service, or it crashed and then we couldn't take it out of service if we wanted to. So, now that I have a new MacBook, I want to authorize it with my iTunes account and the only option to deuthorize a computer is "deauthorize all" - or deauthoize from the actual computer (which I no longer have due to it crashing, etc..)
    So, part two of my question -- if I have to choose "deauthorize all" will it affect anything in my current libraries?  I'm hoping I can just "deauthorize all" and then go to the specific computers I have now and reauthorize without losing any music, etc.  Is that a correct assumption?
    Thanks!

    If you no longer have, or access to, the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
    Log in to iTunes,  go to "view your account info" on the itunes store, deauthorise all five, (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months)  and then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time.

  • Deauthorize computers that are gone or reformatted

    I need to know how to de-authorize a computer that will not start up and on 2 others that I had to reformat the hard drives and reinstall the OS. I ran out of authorizations when I set up newly reformatted drives. Please help. I know I had other computers that I scrapped that had authorizations too.

    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
    *To deauthorize all computers associated with your accoun0t*
    If you find you have reached 5 authorizations, you can reset your authorization count by clicking Deauthorize All in the Account Information screen.
    1. Click iTunes Store in the menu on the left side of iTunes.
    2 .If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
    2. Click the Account button again (your ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
    4. In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
    N.b. Once you've done this you will not be allowed to "deauthorie all" again for a year, so, if possible, it is better to deauthorize computers before reformatting etc.

  • TS1389 i am trying to buy movies. they say i must deauthorize other computers that are no longer alive.

    i no longer use at least two of the other computers i once authorized but i cannot get them to work to establish the task of deauthorizing.. i have been purchasing songs recently and they have been downloaded onto the one and only computer that i have exclusively been missing for over a year. now i want to purchase movies and i am prompted that i cannot purchase them unless i deauthorize this computer which is the only one i use. i have no interest in authorizng any other computer in the future except the one i am on right now.  PLEASE HELP

    There will be a button in your iTunes Store account information that will allow you to deauthorize all systems associated with that account. Log into your Store account and you should see it. You can then reauthorize the computer you're using now.
    Regards.

  • How can i remove devices that are no longer synced with my laptop?

    Previously, I gave my daughter my old iPhone, as I had purchased a new one, but I am unable to delete the device off my computer. I would also like to remove the backups that I have on my computer to free up some space, but I can't manage to find it. Help?? Thanks.

    Your backups can be deleted here: iTunes>Preferences(under the edit menu in Windows)>Devices...highlight & delete here.

  • How to handle check-out files of users that are no longer with the company?

    We have cases that files were checked out and modified, but the engineers left before they check-in the files. What's the right way to handle such cases? Does the project admin have right to check-in for the engineers? How can we make another person to
    check the files in?

    Hi Peter, 
    Thanks for your post.
    Do you want check-in that files within the changes which that left engineer created to TFS Server? If yes, you need logon that engineer’s client using his account, then get modified files on this client and perform check-in.
    If you don’t need that changes which modified by that left engineer, just the check-out files on this client caused other users cannot work on that files, you can ask the team project admin user to perform
    tf undo command on that files to resolve this checked-out issue. 
    For example, the files be checked-out under workspace1, so execute this command “tf undo $/xx/xx(file path) 
    /collection:collectionURL /workspace:workspace1 /recursive” to undo it
