How do I deauthorize a computer I can no longer access?

I have five machines authorized on my account, but I only have two of the computers still. I will be getting a new one in the next couple of weeks, and will want to authorize that one. HOw can I deauthorize the ones I don't have any more? They are with family members but no longer at my house. Thanks in advanced.

Since you have 5 authorized systems, I would suggest you do a "deauthorize all", then simply reauthorize only the systems you are currently using. You are allowed to do this under your account settings for the iTunes store & you can do a "deauthorize all" once per year.

    How can I deauthorize Itunes on a computer that can no longer connect to the internet or is no longer working ?

    You can't, which shouldn't be a problem unless you have 4 other computers authorized with the iTunes account and you need to authorize another.
    Once you have authorized 5 computers, you can de-authorize all computere from a computer that is currently authorized followed re-authorizing the current active computers that need to be authorized.

    How does one deauthorize a computer that cannot connect to the internet?

    You can deauthorize all computers linked to your Apple ID from another computer with Internet access.
    To deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID
    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/).

  • HT1420 How do I deauthorize a computer that is no longer functional or has been stolen...

    ...since I have had both happen to two laptops recently and now I can't authorize a 6th (but in reality a 4th) computer...seems a bit like needing the key to get inside, but the key is locked in the house. So if I have 5 computers stolen I would need to go find those who stole it to deauthorize? Come on now. If I am incorrect and there is in fact another way, then at minimum more information needs to be represented regarding the proper procedure to achieve my goal of deauthorizing an inaccessable computer. I cannot be the only one who has faced this conundrum. Eventually if 5 computers fail beyond repair or are stolen and I can't gain access to deauthorize them then I will have NO access to my own songs. That is unnacceptable at best, and the way I see it potentially illegal.

    I was worried I'd get completely locked out if I did that. I don't assume it's going to function logically when it comes to software...So deauthorize all and then reauthorize the ones I want authorized?

  • I didn't deactivate  my iTunes on a previous computer and can no longer access it.

    OK, so I'm not totally computer svey.  My ITunes account won't allow me to access some of my music from previous purchases because I was unaware I needed to deactive my account on old computers.  I am now over my 5 computer limit but have no access to the old comouters as they are dead and buried.  How do I deativate the old ones so I can play music I bought previously?

    Use the Deauthorize All command documented in this article.

    If you find you have reached 5 authorizations due to system upgrades, you can reset your authorization count by clicking Deauthorize All in the Account Information screen. Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than 5 authorized computers or if you have used this option within the last 12 months.
    in itunes 7 you can access your account by going into the music store and clicking the account link on the right hand side of the music store then sign in using your account details

  • Deleting photo's that were imported to my iphone from a computer I can no longer access

    I have not got my mac that I had used to import a photo album to my iphone. I am now using a different computer, and when I plug phone in to do the usual de-selecting of photo's I wish to change that option is not available. My memory is full and deleting the imported album would free up a large amount of space, how can I do this?
    Sophie

    Would this delete my Camera Roll? As I do not want to loose photo's from there.
    I would back up my photo's to this computer but this is my work computer which I am leaving as of next week.

  • HT1420 How do you Deauthorize a computer if its been trashed or can no longer be turned on?

    I have authorized my itunes acount on 5 different computers, but of the 5 i can only access one. I just got a new computer and want to keep my itunes account on my old one and put it on my new one but cant because of the 5 computer limite. The problem is that the other 4 computers that i had authorized before are no longer functional, so how do i deauthorize them if i can even turn them on?

    Log into your iTunes Store account -> Store menu / View Account. The Deauthorize All button will be there.

    You don't, nor do you need to.
    When you reach the limit of 5 then you can deauthorize all.

  • HT1420 how do i Deauthorize a computer that has had the hard drive lock up and can not get it working

    how do  i deauthorize a computer that has had the hard drive lock up and can not get it working

    You can only deauthorise individual computers directly on them. Otherwise if you've reached the 5 computer limit, then you should be able to log into your iTunes account and 'deauthorise all' (which you can only do once every 12 months) and you can then (re-)authorise up to 5 computers : authorising and deauthorising.

  • How do I deauthorize a computer that no longer works?

    I am trying to convert all of my music from my iPhone to my new Macbook, however it keeps telling me that my Apple ID is authorized to 5 computers already. But my Apple ID is technically only connected to one other computer that works, as the other four are past computers that we have sold or traded in or just plain don't work anymore. How do I deauthorize those so I can have my music on my new computer?

    Taylor,
    Go into your account and use the Deauthorize All button as shown.  Then re-authorize just the computer(s) that you still want to use.

  • HT1420 How do I deauthorize ONE computer?  All I see in account information is an option to deauthorize ALL computers.  I see where it says to deauthorize them all and then re-authorize the ones still in use but I do not want to do that.

    How do I deauthorize ONE computer?  All I see in account information is the option to deauthorize ALL computers.  I do not want to do this.  I authorized an iPad at my previous employer (school for Autism) and want to leave that one authorized so the students will still have access to the apps and music.  How can I just deauthorize the desktop (windows) that I no longer use?

    I am in a similar situation. Hoping there has been an update to fix this problem by now.... I do NOT want to deauthorize all 5 computers, AT ALL. I only want to deauthorize 1 computer I do not have anymore! Because there is no way I'd ever want to deal with re authorizing the other 4, when I only need to deauthorize ONE.
    Have they patched this problem yet?

    how do i deauthorize a computer from  itunes i do not own anymore

    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.
