How can I deactivate iTunes from a computer I no longer have?

Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
More On 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 deactivate a computer i no longer have from my homesharing?

    hi, I have just purchased a new computer because my previous laptop died - when I downloaded I tunes, it has told me all my 5 homesharing devices are full - how do I deactivate a computer I no longer physically have anymore - can you reset homesharing computers without losing your data?

    Use the Deauthorize All command documented in this article, or if it isn't an option, the 'contact iTunes Store support' link at the bottom of it.

  • How can I deathorize a computer I no longer own without deauthorizing my others?

    I have five computers with my Itunes home sharing and I want to add another. To do so I need to remove one. However, to remove one you need to be on the one you wish to deauthorize or deathorize all five. There doesn't seem to be any option to deauthorize one you no longer own. What will happen if I deathorize them all and then reauthorize those that I currently have? Will I lose songs on any of my computers, for example?

    Yes, you need to deauthorize them all, then reauthorize the ones you want again.  See this article http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420

  • How Can i deactivate a computer in itunes if i no longer have the computer?

  • Homesharing - deactivate a computer I no longer own.

    Regarding homesharing: I need to deactivate a computer I no longer own.  How do I do this?  I have reached my limit of 5 computers

    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."

    Can I deauthorize the computer I know longer have from a friends computer who has an itunes account on it?

    "Can I deauthorize the computer from my iphone?"
    No.
    "Can I deauthorize the computer I know longer have from a friends computer who has an itunes account on it?"

    You can deauthorize all once you have reashed the limit of 5 authorized computers.  Until then, there is no need to deauthorize it

    how can i designate the location of the purchased music from itune store?, how can i designate the location of the purchased music from itune store?

    Hi,
    Thanks.  I know how to do that, however, I thought it only works with the imported content not the purchased ones.  The reason for wanting this was that I keep all my music in NAS drive for SONOS (the wireless music system) will need the music to be in NAS so that it can play music while the mac is on sleep mode.
    Anyhow, I will try again and let you know if it does work.
    Thanks again.

  • How can I completely get my iPhone and iPad disconnected from iTunes Match? I don't usually have Cloud access and find iTunes Match to be very annoying.

    How can I completely get my iPhone and iPad disconnected from iTunes Match? I don't usually have Cloud access and find iTunes Match to be very annoying.

    Csoud1 is correct. But if you still want to keep your iTunes Match subscribed and did not want to sync with your iOS devices, do the following:
    On you iOS devices, just go to Setting > Music > disable iTunes Match

  • HT203200 How can i solve the -50 error when downloading video from itunes??

    How can I solve the -50 error when downloading video from itunes.   The apple support people cannot even figure it out!??

    The 2330 error often means some sort of damage to the filing system as might happen if the battery fell out while the disk was in use.
    Try running a disk check to see if it finds and fixes any errors.

  • How can I deactivate a computer in iTunes if I don't have access to it? Computer crashed and now I'm at my limit of 5 and can't add my new computer

    I'm trying to upgrade the iOS for my iPad 2 and I can't because it will delete all my purchased apps since the computer I'm using can't be activated. My old desktop has no access to the Internet anymore and my laptop is fried so I don't have the ability to deactivate either of them. iTunes says that I've reached my limit of 5 and I have no idea what the other three are, but I need to activate my new laptop so that I can upgrade the iOS on my iPad. How can I deactivate computers that are either not online or dead?

    1. open itunes
    2. click "itunes store" on left side
    3. click "account" on right side
    4. login
    5. click "deauthorize all" button
    this will obviously deauthorize all computer associated with your account, then you can re-add the ones you need afterwards.
    note: i've heard (i dont know this for a fact) that you can only do this once per year.

  • How do i delete an ipod or computer i no longer own from home sharing?

    I just downloaded itunes to my new laptop and tried to sign in to home sharing and it didn't let me since i  reached the max of 5 computers or devices. I dont even remember all the devices logged onto my profile. How can remove or deactivate a device i no longer own?

    I don't think that there is a limit for home sharing.
    I assume you mean authorizing your computer.  You can only authorize computers 5 at a time.
    You will need to deauthorize all, then authorize the computers you want.

  • Deactivate a computer I no longer own

    My license entitles me to install Adobe CS3 on two systems. So, I had it on my desktop and laptop.  I recently sold my laptop, and reformatted the hard drive.  But, I forgot to deactivate CS3 before doing so.  Now I want to install it on my newer laptop, but the activation screen is telling me I've reached the number of activations.
    So, my question is... How do I deactivate a computer that I no longer own?

    You will need to activate by phone, and explain what has happened.  I had the issue two weeks ago after replacing a failed laptop hard drive.
    Just look for the 'other activation options' when you go through the activation process.
