How can I deauthorise a computer I no longer have?

Hi
I've got several computers authorised to play music purchased from iTunes.
One of those computers died sometime ago unexpectedly and is beyond repair. Because I can't use that computer to open up iTunes and deauthorise, is there a way I can look at the list of computers already authorised and remove the damaged computer from the list?
I've used iTunes for a long time, and can't think of an answer. If anyone has a clue i'll -be very grateful!

is there a way I can look at the list of computers already authorised and remove the damaged computer from the list?
No.
When you get to 5 authorized, you can select Deauthorize all and then reauthorize what you currently have.

    How can I deauthorise a computer I haven't got any more
    I am trying to get home share on a new laptop with iTunes Match but it says I have 5 computers already
    But when I looked at the devices it says I only have 3
    That is Mac mini ,ipad2,iPhone 4s
    I also just got a Apple TV but that  hasn't come up on the list
    I think I didn't deauthorise the old laptop that I gave away but it has been reformatted since they had It.
    Sorry this is so long and complicated hope someone can tell me how I can get my new laptop with windows 8 on to home share in iTunes

    Authorization applies ONLY to computers.
    Ipods/iphones/ipads/Apple TVs are not authorized at all.
    If you have reached the limit of 5 computers, then you can deauthorize all, then authorize the active computers.

  • HT1420 How can I find out what computers I have authorised? Or how can I deauthorise a computer if i no longer have access to it?

    Hi,
    I have 4 authorised computers for my iPhone but I have no idea what 2 of them are. Is there a way I can see what the computers authorised are? Or can I deauthorise computers that I no longer have access to?

    I'm not aware of anyway to see a list of your authorised computers. Have you had other computers in the past and/or updated or reinstalled the OS on those that you still have without first deauthorising them ?  Individual computers can only be deauthorised directly on them, but when you've reached the 5 computer limit then you can log into your account and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then authorise/reauthorise the computers that you still have and need : authorising and deauthorising.

    How can i deauthorise computers which are no longer functional & are within the 12 month period?

    Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance. Only they can perform a second Deauthorize All before the year ends.

    Can I deauthorize the computer from my iphone?
    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?"
    No.
    You can deauthorize all once you have reashed the limit of 5 authorized computers.  Until then, there is no need to deauthorize it

    If you did not deauthorize before selling, you have to deauthorize all from your actual computer:
    Remember to deauthorize your computer before you sell it, give it away, or get your computer serviced. Also, make sure you deauthorize your computer before you upgrade your RAM, hard disk or other system components, or reinstall Windows. If you do not deauthorize your computer before you upgrade these components, one computer may use multiple authorizations.

  • How can I deactivate a computer I no longer own from iTunes?

    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?

  • HOW CAN I DEAUTHORISE A COMPUTER WHICH IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL?

    "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)  and then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time."
    When I log into iTunes, there is no link for "View your account info."  The closest thing I can find to that is under QuickLinks, simply "Account".  This brings me to a new window "Account Information."  But, there is no link whatsoever for authorizing or de-authorizing anything.  It tells me that one computer is authorized, with no option for editing that info. 
    I use iMac, Mountain Lion 10.8.3.  Recently, I had to replace my hard drive, which was using Tiger.  I was not told whether the old hard drive was deauthorized, but I would presume that this is done.  I had music purchased from iTunes on the old hard drive, as well as some money in my account, both of which were not carried forward for some reason.

    You need to use the Store drop-down menu at the top of iTunes, not the iTunes store home page - there should be View My Apple ID option on that drop-down menu

  • How do I deauthorise computers that I no longer have access to?

    That's it really - when in iTunes you go Store>Deauthorise this computer I can only do this PC which I want to be the only authoried PC - before you could deauthorise all PCs?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    You cannot yourself deauthorize a computer that's not working or to which you no longer have access. You can authorize a total of up to five systems, so it's probably not really important that you deauthorize other units now. Once you reach five total authorizations, a button will appear in your iTunes Store account that will allow you to deauthorize all your systems, so that would at that time recover any now-useless authorizations.
    If for some reason you really feel you need to deauthorize other systems now, you can try contacting the iTunes Store customer support department through the form at the bottom of their Support page (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting) and explaining the problem to them. They might be willing to clear your authorizations for you.
    Regards.

  • 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
