De-authorization of all computers

I am having issues with de-authorization of my 5 computers. Every time when I tried to do that, it gives me an error stating that I have to wait until Dec. 20, 2010 in order to do that. Does anyone know how I can do this today instead of waiting until december?

send an email to the iTS customer service using this form and ask.

I wanna Dis-authorize my all computers from my pc.. because i bought a New pc.. i cant do anything like app backup or authorize from my new pc so please help me

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.

If you no longer have 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.

Authorization problem: All computers deauthorized but can't add new compute

I just bought a new macbook pro and reached my max of 5 computers in my itunes account. I went ahead and deauthorized all computers in my itunes account to start fresh but I'm still unable to sync my iphone. The first message I get when I try is "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the Iphone...Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from itunes store?" When I click "authorize" and then sign into my itunes account, I get a new warning saying, "You cannot authorize more than 5 computers..." Any suggestions?

Is it possible that you have purchases under more than one account? Also...if you haven't, you might try restarting the computer.

I'm a pc tech, I go through computers like water buying and selling. Apple says I can only "deauthorize all computers" once a year. Over time, I've authorized the 5 that Apple allows, now I can't even authorize the one I'm currently using. WTH DO I DO????

I've had constant problems with syncing, I don't understand why Apple can't just make a simple interface where I can sync what's on my iPhone to a new computer, thereby creating a "library" of what I have on my phone already. Obviously, what I have on my phone is what the heck I want on my phone. I'm a pc tech, I go through several computers a year because I buy and sell and repair them. Apple won't let me "deauthorize" computers until NOVEMBER, and it won't let me "Authorize" the desktop I just built for myself. The new iPhone OS is about to debut, and I can't even sync this phone to my new computer or new itunes. THis is ridiculously complicated and frustrating as ****. If I didn't like the iPhone so much, I'd never bother with all this hassle. And Apple wonders why suddenly about 70% of the market now belongs to ANDROID users. What do I have to do, Call customer support to get my account straight???? TOTALLY disgusted with this whole thing.

iPhones are not, nor have they every been storage devices. They are merely mirrors of the content in the users iTunes library. As such, syncing is one way, computer to iDevice.

Learn to deauthorize them before taking them out of service. Sorry, but the scenario describe above is not "normal" and I cannot imagine any user buying a used computer from a so-called tech that he built for himself. If building computers for customers, build them for the customer and keep your data off of them.

Again, had the previous computers been de-authorized this would be a none issue. A call to iTunes Customer Support may provide a way around the one year limit on deauthorizing all computers.

No, it's not.

In that case, READ the User's Guide and educate yourself on how to use the device as designed. Or find a competent tech to explain it in a way that you can understand it.

I cannot authorize my new computer in iTunes because I hit the 5 device limit. However, I cannot deauthorize the old one because it's gone. I also cannot use the deauthorize all computers button because I did last year when I was replacing computers. Is there any other way of deauthorizing computers that no longer exist?

HT5622 How can I authorize a new computer (with windows 8) without deauthorizing my other computers (windows 7) . Under manage your account the only choice given is to deauthorize all computers already authorized

I just bought a new computer with windows 8. I have 2 other computers (windows 7) authorized for itunes. When I go to manage your account the only choice I am give is to deauthorize all computers. There is no place from which to authorize this new computer or to deauthorize the 1 computer that is dead rather than both. Suggestions appreciated

To authorize the Windows 8 computer, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.
It isn't possible to individually deauthorize a computer which is dead or which you don't have either physical or network access to.

I want to authorizes all computers from my account

I want to authorizes all computers from my account

I quote from the document I linked to above:
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/).

HT1420 What will the screen show when I deauthorize all computers? Will it show them and then I select the ones to authorize? I don't want to undo or be unable to re-authorize the ones I still want.

What will the screen show when I deauthorize all computers? Will it show them and then I select the ones to authorize? I don't want to undo or be unable to re-authorize the ones I still want.

"What will the screen show when I deauthorize all computers? "
Nothing. Not sure what you mean.
" Will it show them and then I select the ones to authorize? "
No.
You have to authorize a computer from that computer. You cannot authorize a computer from another computer.

HT1420 if i deauthorize all computers, how quickly can i re-authorize?

due to getting new computers and crashes, I need to deauthorize all computers. after that, can i authorize the correct computers right away?

Yes.

ITunes crashes when "De-authorize all computers" is pressed iTunes 12

Current PC (Windows 7) never had iTunes installed. My other 5 authorized computers are dead.
Installed new iTunes 12, logged in to "De-authorize all computers" but as soon as I press the button the program freezes.
At the time of freezing the confirmation dialog appears behind the "This program has stopped responding..." error and I can't click on the confirming "yes de-authorize all computers" button.
[enter] closes the program.
I don't get why the iTunes interface is the only way to access my account. I should be able to log into a secure online account and make changes to the iTunes account but that isn't possible as far as I can tell.

Since this is a users' forum - not an Apple Helpdesk - lack of response probably means that no-one has encountered the same problem or, if they have, cannot offer advice on how to resolve it.
You should be able to contact Apple Support and request that they de-authorize the computers on your account. Also, there have been two updates to iTunes (12.1 and 12.1.1) since you first posted the issue, so its possible that the problem has been resolved in one of those.
Quite why there isn't an automated/secure web-based way to do this I have no idea - the whole authorization/de-authorization approach seems based on fears that iTunes/iPods would become a widespread method for illegal sharing of copyright material, something that might have been true in the early days of iTunes and the iTunes Store, but today must be a tiny risk compared to P2P networks and file sharing.

I need to authorize an new computer but I am at the limit of five and can't reauthorize from old computers as they are either dead or not in my procession. How do I unauthorized all computers so that I can authorize my new computer?

The page Roger posted is good but was very confusing for me. I'll try to help you out since that article was confusing to me.
In iTunes, Click your name/email that is directly to the left of the search bar.
Click account info.
Sign in.
Click this button where the mouse is:
(the screenshot is from an older iTunes on windows, but it is the same on the new versions)
Done!
You can only use that button once per year, so try to remember to deauthorize computers before you get rid of them.

When I "deathorize all" computers and re-authorize my current pc so that I can use it for iTunes, will I lose any of my music, especially those that were not purchased through iTunes directly? I am afraid to that I will lose non-purchased songs.

Will I lose any of my non-purchased music that I imported from CD's when I "deauthorize all" computers and "re-authorize" my current pc? I am fearful that I will lose several songs from my library when I do this.

No. Deauthorizing only removes the computer from the list of computers that you can use to view or purchase new music under your iTunes sign-on.

De-Authorize all computers

Is there a way to de-authorize previous log-ins from other computers. I currently have 5 computers/laptops enabled in which I do not know where I am logged in. I was hoping there is a way to log me out from all computers so I can start fresh again. Any help would be appreciated.

Works like a charm!
Cheers
