How can i tell what computers are authorized with my itunes account?

My iTunes app tells me that I have 5 computers currently authorized with my account. How can I tell which ones they are???  I've checked all of my old desktops and laptops to deauthorize them but they indicate that they were never authorized.  Confusing. Why go to the trouble managing how many are authorized if you don't provide a means to list them???  I realize that I can deauthorize them all (the only choice!) but, in doing so and reauthorizing the ones I need, does this mean that I lose the ability to access previously purchased music on them??  I must say that, for the ease of use of the Apple apps, I expected more.  Thanks:-) !

You cannot. You can see the number of authorised machines.
Go to itunes Store, Select Account from Quick Links on the right.
If you already have 5 authorised but can't remember which the machines are you have the option of once every 90 days to deauthorize all comuters and then individually reauthorising the ones you want.
On each machine in iTunes Click Store > Authorise this computer

  • How can I determine what computers are authorized on my iTunes account?

    How can I determine what computers have been authorized on my iTunes account?  I've reached my limit and now I'd like to deauthorize one computer.
    Thanks,
    Jerry

    There is no list.
    You can only deauthorize a single computer from that computer.
    If you do not have access to the computers, then you would have to deauthorize all.

  • How can I tell what computers are authorized?

    I have authorized my account on differnt computers, those go against my 5 authorizations correct? Also, I have forgotten a couple of computers that I have authorized, is there a way to find out which ones they are? If I hit deauthorize all on my computer will I get all 5 back? And will I just have to re-authorize my computer corrct? I am confused by the DRM stuff. Also, how can you tell how many burns are left on certain music files?
    I know this is a many part question, so any help to any/all of them would be great.

    hi!
    when you hit "deauthorize all", your counter for Registered Computers is set to zero.
    At that moment you temporarily lose all DRM rights you have by your files.
    But if you authorize your computer, the Registered Counter increases by one (1 of 5 authorized) and you have access to all your music/vids again.
    Hope i could help

  • How can you see what computers are authorized with my account?

    Good afternoon. I installed iTunes on my desktop computer at home because I began creating a music library. My first original install was on my laptop and then I decided to add iTunes to my desktop. When I authorized iTunes on my desktop it said it was the third computer that is authorized to play content purchased with this Apple ID.
    How do I find out where else I have authorized iTunes? Is there a way in which a person can find out? Does my iTouch count as one?
    If I rest the computers authorization will it delete my music library if I did that? I know you can only do it once a year. I am afraid someone else will use my account.
    Thank You

    In order to see which devices are authorized on your account:
    Open iTunes
    Click Store
    Click Account
    Click View Account
    Enter your password
    Look in the second section iTunes in the Cloud
    To the far right you'll see Manage Devices
    Once it's clicked you will see all of the devices currently authorized in iTunes/on your account
    I was going to say, "Hope this helps," but based on the above, I'm pretty sure it did!
    Thanks guys...

  • HT1420 how do I find out what computers are authorized on my itunes account?

    How do I find out what computers are authorized on my itunes account? I want to add my MBP to my itunes account but I can't because I already have 5 computers authorized BUT I can't remember what computers I had authorized.  I'm assuming iPhones count as computers in this instance.
    Thanks

    I'm not aware that you can see a list anywhere - and no, iPhones (nor iPads or iPods) count, only computers do (but a computer could count more than once e.g. if you've updated or reinstalled the OS without first deauthorising it).
    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 authorise/reauthorise the computers that you still have and need : authorising and deauthorising.

  • How can I see what computers are authorized for my phone?

    I'm using an iPhone 4 on iOS 7.1.  I have a new computer and need to de-authorize one of my old ones to add the new one.  I can't see a list of all the authrozied computers.  My only choice seems to be 'de-authorize all', which I really don't want to have to do.
    Does anyone know how to diplay the coputers that are authorized?

  • HT204074 How do I see what devices are associated with my iTunes account?

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 contains this advice:
    Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. You can view which devices or computers are currently associated, remove unused devices or computers, and see how long before they can be associated with a different Apple ID from the Account Information page in iTunes on your computer:
    Open iTunes.
    Sign in to your Apple ID by choosing Store > Sign In from the iTunes menu.
    Choose Store > View My Account from the iTunes menu.
    From the Account Information screen, click Manage Devices.
    Sadly, "Manage Devices" isn't actually there, so I can find no way of seeing which devices and PCs are associated with my Apple ID and how to delete or add to them.

    Manage devices relates to the devices or computers you have set up to automatically download content from your iTunes account aka "iTunes in the Cloud". You can have up to 10 such devices. This is a separate list from the list of 5 computers that can be authorized to play your protected content. There is no similar feature to list this second group, but when you get to 5 computers you can choose to deauthorize all and start again. You cannot use that feature again for a year.

  • HT1420 how can you see which computers are authorised to an itunes account?

    Having difficutly getting movies and TV programs purchased from the iTunes store to play on my Apple TV Gen 1 - they appear in the library but don't transfer onto the Apple TV Gen 1; any suggestions?

    You may want to ask in ATV forum. Though first gen is so old it's becoming hard to find experts on that anymore.

  • How can I determine what computers are home sharing??

    How can I determine what computers are home sharing??

    Launch iTunes on the computers you're interested in. Check in the "Advanced" menu.
    If "Turn on Home Sharing" is listed as an option, the iTunes library that you have open is not Home Sharing.
    If "Turn off Home Sharing ([accountname]) is listed as an option, the iTunes library that you have open is Home Sharing.

  • How can i tell what devices are accessing my iMessages?

    I suspect someone has set up an iPad to download my iMessages without my authorization. How can I tell what devices are linked to my phone's iMessaging?

    Thank you both. I am changing my password...I was just hoping there was some way I could tell if this other person had been reading my iMessages up to this point. It seems like there is not. How about this scenerio: I turn off the iMessaging on my phone. I have someone who has iMessaging send me an iMessage. We see if their device registers their message as "delivered" even if it doesn't come through to my phone. Would that indicate then that it had been delivered to another device?

    You can see which apps are open and/or recently used by double-clicking the home button to bring up the taskbar at the bottom of the screen (not all apps that appear there are active) - you can then close apps on it by pressing and holding one of them for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar. If you have an app 'open' on-screen then it won't appear on the taskbar, you will need to go back to the homescreen first, and it should then show when you next open the taskbar.
    If you haven't already got a copy then you can download the iPad manual from here : http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad

    How can I identify which computers are authorized for use with I tunes?

    Hi there,
    You can't see a list of your authorised computers, but you can see how many are authorised and deauthorise them individually or together.
    I've found you a relevent support article which explains all of this:
