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!

    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/).

  • 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 can't get to the place to de-authorize all computers so I can use my new laptop ... No matter what I try. What is the web address to deauthorize all

    Howto de-authorize all computers in my iTunes account?

    De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    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.

    how do I de authorize all computers from I tunes but the one I am currently using?

    If you don't have access to all the computers you will have to de-authorize them all, then re-authorize the ones you wish. If you have access to all of them, then you can de-authorize each one, but must do so from the computer itself.

  • Desperately trying to authorize my computers

    Hello,
    I'm facing the same problem with both my PCs. Despite authorizing them on the iTunes Store I still get the same message telling me "This PC is no more authorized..."
    I've been through all the steps described in iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases but it's not working. What can I do now, could you help me ?
    Thanks in advance

  • De-authorize 4 computers

    I was wondering if there was a way to somehow de-authorize computers through iTunes as 3 computers that I have had have crashed, making it impossible to do so. Now I only have one authorization left.

    Thee is an option to de-authorize all computers. From iTunes Help:
    If you forgot to deauthorize a computer you no longer own, you can deauthorize all your authorized computers at once. You can use this method once a year.
    Choose Store > View My Account, and then click Deauthorize All. If you don't see this option, it's because you don't have five authorized computers.

  • De-authorizing. Can you de-authorize all and now lose all content from CDs?

    I was wondering if you hit the "de-authorize all computers" button on iTunes store, will it erase all your memory on the computers? Or the downloaded CD content? Because I can't afford to lose all my CD content in my iTunes library.

  • 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.

    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 now have 5 devices that access the "cloud" via Match. I also have 3 computers that need to be authorized. Is there a way to authorize all these computers/devices in such a way to allow everything to access and sync to the cloud?

    I now have 5 devices that access the "cloud" via Match. I also have 3 computers that need to be authorized. Is there a way to authorize all these computers/devices in such a way to allow everything to access and sync to the cloud?

    I had a problem with a 5.0.3 project that would cause 5.0.4 to crash. Apple asked for a copy of the project and later told me it was because there were some empty text layers. Apple is aware of the issue and is working on a fix.
    In my case I still had 5.0.3 on another Mac and could clean up the project. If empty text layers might be the problem, do you know someone with an earlier version who could open it and remove the empty layers? I'd be willing to give it a try if you'd want to send me the project.

    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)
    Then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time..

  • 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.

  • 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?
