How can i deauthorize an old computer

I just bought another imac and when i went to transfer my iphone itunes library it said that i have reached my limit of 5 authorized computers. How do I de-authorize one of my older products so that my new computer can be synced with my current itunes library?
thanks

Go to that computer and choose Deauthorize Computer from the Store menu.

    How can I deauthorize an old computer that I have no access to?

    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 unless you've hit that limit it's probably not really important that you deauthorize your dead unit 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 the now-useless authorization.
    If for some reason you really feel you need to deauthorize a system and you're not at the five-system limit, you can try contacting  the iTunes Store customer support department through their Contact form (follow the on-screen instructions)  and explaining the problem to them. They might be willing to clear your authorizations for you.

  • HT1420 how can i deauthorize an old computer

    Can anyone tell me how i can deathorize an old computer, so i can sync my iphone to this computer.

    iTunes > Store > "Deauthorize this Computer..."
    You can deauthorize 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.

  • HT1420 My computer crashed, i have purchased a new one, how can i deauthorize the old computer without logging in on it?

    My old computer crashed. I have purchased a new one but I cannot authorize it on my account until I delete the old. How can I  do this since my old computer does not work?

    You cannot... But...
    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.

  • How can I deactivate an old computer that I know longer have?

    How can I deactivate an old computer that I know longer have? I own two computers and Adobe permits two computers on a subscription. However, when I bought my third new computer and didn't deactivate my old computer, I did not notify Adobe. Now, there is a message saying that I must deactivate the old computer to register the new computer. I don't know how to do this. Can anyone help?

  • How do I deauthorize my old computer and authorize my new one?

    How do I deauthorize my old computer and authorize a new one?

    If the computer's running Mac OS X, move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store, and choose Authorize this Computer.
    If the computer's running Windows, 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.
    Deauthorization is done the same way, except for choosing Deauthorize this Computer.

  • How do I deauthorize an old computer I no longer use?

    Hello,
    I still have one of 5 left, but how can I deauthorize a PC that died and now I don't use anymore? This has happened twice, and I've got two PCs that I use (laptop and PC) so I'd like to find a way to remove the two that I can't use anymore to free up a couple extra.
    thanks,
    Chris

    You can't deauthorise a 'dead' installation or computer on it's own. However once you reach the limit of 5 authorisations you have the option to deauthorise them all in one go from your iTunes account and start over. Just note that you can only use this option once a year: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

  • How can i Deauthorize my old broken computer? ( i can't access it:'(  pleide help!)

    My Windows 7 pc broke and i have got an new Mac mini but i cant Deauthorize my old Windows 7 pc. How can i do that without having access to my old pc?

    You will have to deauthorize all your computers and then reauthorize the ones that need it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420 says:
    If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
    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/).

    What version of Premiere Elements is still installed activated on the old computer (what is your old operating system)?
    What version of Premiere Elements are you going to install and activate on your new computer (what is your new operating system)?
    Before you do anything, how many of your computers now have the same Premiere Elements purchased/activated serial number installed on them - just that one old one?
    The answers to the above might help us to help you so that you do not have to contact Adobe.

  • How can i reinstall my old computer and install photshop on my newcomputer?

    I Have a new computer and i want to re-install Photoshop on my old computer so i can install it on my new computer. How can i do that?
    i have an account for Photoshop and Lightroom 2014,
    robert

    From what I have read and understanding your question. You need to deactivate PS on your old computer and then you can re-install on your new computer. The deactivate button is on the HELP column when photoshop is open. Side note, I think you can have two programs active, meaning you you can have photoshop on two computers at once. Only can use one at a time. Hope this maybe helpful..

  • HT5312 I cannot authorize my new Macbook Pro, I can't deauthorize my old computer; I don't have the authorize/deauthorize button on my account. I created a new Apple ID hoping this would fix the problem, but didn't realize I now do not have access to my m

    So, I bought a new Macbook Pro which i cannot authorize my itunes for. I don't even have the button indicated in the support section to authorize or deauthorize. I only have one device authorized to my account. I cant remember my security questions and cannot figure out how to change them; I think this might be the reason why i can't authorize my new device. The only way to access my itunes from my Mac is to have my iphone plugged in. Someone please help! I am a complete tard and would like to avoid a trip to the actual Apple store.

    Call Apple Care for your country and request that they assist you in resetting the security questions.
    To authorize/deauthorize a computer, go to the Store dropdown menu in the iTunes app.

  • HT1420 how do i deauthorize an old computer

    It says I have old computers, I am currently only using my mac.  I would like to know how to deactivate old computers?

    Individual computers can only be deauthorised directly on them, but if 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 (re-)authorise the computers that you still have and need : authorising and deauthorising.
