How can I deactivate a computer when i do not have it anymore?

Hi, I have used all of the 5 computers that I can authorize for my ipod and all of those computers have since died. Is there a way to deauthorize a computer without having the actual computer to do it from?
I do not want to delete all of them because my ipad is connected to my account (that is the only one that I still have), but I want to transfer all of the music from my ipod to my itunes account so I can put on my new iphone.
Thanks!

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.

HI, I need your help. How can I delete all data, when I do not have the special security code, which I didn´t remember ? I also think, that I never create this code before. But I cannot put my settings back.

You must remember the code, if you can't then take the phone and proof of purchase to an Apple Store.

How can I reboot my Ipad when I do not have access to the power off screen?

My device slide off my couch while in its cover. IT was working afterwards, for about 5 min. I sat it down while I took something out of the oven and was back maybe 5min. or so later. When i try to access it, all I see is a black screen. I cannot unlock it or even power off. How can I reboot it without the power off swipe ?

Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reboot/Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
Restore: Connect your iPhone to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory

How can I start Private Browsing when I do not have a "Firefox button" to click?

"Open a new, blank Private Window
At the top of the Firefox window, click the Firefox button and select New Private Window. A new Private Window will open.
That is what it says! But where is this Firefox button at the top of my Firefox (v 20.0.1) window? What I have at the top of the window is:
(1) A blue-background bar with the Firefox icon and the title of the current page
(2) 2 grey-background bars with menus (e.g. File, Edit, ...) and buttons
(3) 1 grey-background bar with the Bookmark Toolbar
(4) The Tab bar
But no Firefox button, and none available in the customise dialog. Have I suppressed it somehow?

hello, the private browsing window is accessible through the file menu that you've referenced too - or you can use the keyboard shortcut ctrl+shift+p.
if you want to get the default userinterface with the firefox button though, go to view > toolbars & disable the menu bar...

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

How can I deactivate a computer in I Tunes if I no longer have the computer?

Open iTunes Store. Click on Account link under Quick Links. You'll find the option in your account information.

Pages: How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns?

How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns? I have opened the inspector to the edit columns and rows under Table. It will sort the column, but then it changes the other colums as well. I know that if I use Numbers, it will work, but I want to know how to do the same thing in Pages.

Hi Peter,
Numbers sorts full rows on values in selected column(s). The technique for sorting a single column is essentially the same as Jerry is describing for Pages tables—separate the (data in the) column to be sorted, sort it, return it to the table.
In Numbers the actual column may be separated from the original table, sorted, then returned. In Pages, the data must be extracted, sorted, then pasted back in, overwriting the unsorted data (if it was left in the original table).
iWork tables follow a database model in which each row is a Record, and each column holds a Field within the records.
As evidenced by the current question (and several similar questions arising in the Numbers community) that model doesn't apply to the way some users, especially some who come in from the MS Excel world, use tables.
With Excels model—islands of data on a single large table, the ability to sort one or a selected few columns of data makes sense. One 'island' may comprise only cells AA21:AH50. Sorting that small 'table' should be possible without disturbing the rest of rows 21-30, which are probably part of one or more other 'data islands' in the sea that is a MS Excel spreadsheet.
In Numbers, each of those 'islands' would be a separate Table, and that Table would be sortable without disturbing other Tables in the document.

Barry

I already made an accoount, so how can I change it so that I do not have to choose a type of credit card. Cause it does not give me the option of NONE

Did you follow the instructions on that page exactly ? The instructions work for me e.g. selecting a free app in the App Store app and tapping on 'free', then 'install app' and 'create new apple id' - filling in my details then gave a 'none' option on the payment details :

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 can I deactivate a computer from iTunes if I haven't got that computer anymore?

I need to activate a new computer, but have already activated 5 computers. I need to deactivate a computer that I know longer have. How can I do this?

You can only individually deauthorise computers directly on them, but if you've reached the 5 computer limit then you can de-authorise all (which you can do once every 12 months) by logging into your account and you can then re-authorise those that you still have and need : authorising / de-authorising.
