Help! -- How to deauthorize computers on iTunes

I re-installed my operating system, backup files, and iTunes. It says I have already authorized 5 computers with my account, and will delete my many apps unless I get authorised. I just use one laptop with iTunes.
How do I deauthorize the other computers? How do I do it without deleting my apps?

Hmm, well I know how to deauthorize computers. you go to Store-> Then De Authorize Computer. I know that if you delete apps you've bought in the past and you remember them you can re download them with no extra charge. Sorry if this doesn't help :S. but from what you've asked, I've given all i know.
Hope you get things worked out!

  • How to deauthorize computer for iTunes that I no longer own

    I have a new computer, trying to authorize iTunes. Won't let me. My prior computers I no longer own. How do I set this straight again?

    About deauthorizing specific computers - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3809988 - Only, if you have physical access to the computer, otherwise you have to deauthorize all computers. De-authorize all computers button does not appear until you actually have 5 authorized and you can only do this once a year.

  • How to Deauthorize Computers

    In the past two years, I've had two computers using my iTunes library, both pcs. One was stolen, and the other's motherboard crashed (twice) before I gave up and purchased a Mac. The other two computers are not accessible, and I'd like to deauthorize them from my account. However, I can't use them to get online to deauthorize them. How can I do this?

  • HT1420 how to deauthorize computers you don't have

    I have two computers. My desktop has had problems every year, so I have deleted the hard drive every year after experiencing these problems. It's the same computer, so each time I deleted the hard drive, I never deauthorized the desktop. My labtop is working fine, so I haven't had to deal with that. I'm hopin you can help

    About 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.

  • Help: How do I mass point iTunes to all my original mp3 files on e: drive?

    This seems pretty straight forward but I can't seem to figure this out. When I try to play a song on my iTunes library I get a "The song XXX could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" The source is on my external hard drive on E:. But I have over 3,000 songs and most of which now require I locate the source individually. Is there a way that I can point iTunes to look for all songs on my e:drive? The songs are categorized and separated in folders by artist and album name. This makes it harder to point in mass. Looking for some answers here?

    I just did this myself with my 6000-odd MP3 files.
    First, make a new Library - hold down "Shift" as you launch iTunes and you'll get a dialog box that says "Choose Library / make New Library". Make a new library and call it "All MP3s from E:" or something you'll remember. iTunes will launch with a BLANK playlist.
    Then, go to "File -> Add Folder To Library" and select the master folder that all your MP3s are in. When you say "OK" iTunes should scan all your files and add them to this new, blank library. So long as you do not tell iTunes to "Consolidate Library" all your files should remain in their current location (Consolidating seems to copy all your files into the iTunes Music folder which will take up extra hard drive space). KEEP IN MIND that if the E: drive is a remote hard drive that it must be switched on and connected to the PC or the link to the song in the Library will break (perhaps this is what's happening to your current library list)?
    When you re-launch iTunes it should automaticallly re-load your newly made Library file - see "Using Multiple Libraries" in the iTunes Help area for info on how to restore the default Library if you ever need to.
    Let me know if this works - it did for me anyway.

  • Need help, how to transfer songs from iTune library to ipod??

    Hi everyone, I just got my iPod this weekend for my birthday. My friend told me to go to "Lime Wire" to get free songs, so I did and the songs went to my iTunes page.
    However, for some reason when I tried to download all the songs to my iPod, only one song popped on my iPod. (Weird)
    Anyway, how do you get the songs from the iTunes library
    to download to the iPod. What am I doing wrong?!
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the discussions,
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there to do what you want, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

    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 Computers one at a time.

    How do I deauthorize all my computers in Itunes?  I have gotten a new computer every two or three years and then given them away when I got the next one.  I just got a new Dell Precision Work Station and am trying to get ITunes up and going.  However, I keep getting a message that I have already authorized the limit of 5 computers and that I need to deauthorize all of them and start over with my new one.  I am struggling with the interface of the new ITunes and cannot figure out how to deauthorize the computers.  Please help.

  • How to "deauthorize all computers" in iTunes?

    A computer has died I am attempting to deauthorize all computers in iTunes in order to remove it from the authorized computer list.  However, none of the other "authorized" computers display the "Deauthorize All Computers" option on the "Store" menu in iTunes.  I am running ITunes 12.0.1.26.  Why is the "Deauthorize All Computers" not being displayed and how do I deauthorize the dead computer without it?

    launch iTunes and sign in then go to your accounts settings.
