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.
For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.

    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 my computer once it is no longer in use?

    How do I deauthorize my computer once it is no longer in use?  I got rid of some computers, and didn't deauthorize them first.  Any help would be appreciated.

    If you've got 5 computers authorised for the account in question, and you need to free up authorizations, I'd do a "Deauthorize All" from one of the computers you have access to, and then reauthorize the computers you have access to.

  • 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?

    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.

    You cannot, nor do you need to, until you reach the limit of 5.  Once you reach 5, then you can deauthorize all, and then authorize the active computers.

    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.

  • HT1727 How do I deauthorize a computer whne the hard drive has crashed and is not recoverable ?

    How do I deauthorize a computer when the hard drived has crashed and is not  recoverable ?

    You cannot directly 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. If you really want to deauthorize that system now, you can go into your iTunes Store account and there will be a "deauthorize all" button. You can then re-authorize the computers you're using.
    Note that you can only use the "deauthorize all" option once per year, unless something's changed very recently.

    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 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.
