Do you have to be logged in to the itunes account on the computer you want to deauthorize? Probably a dumb question, but not sure.
Yes, iTunes will prompt you for your iTunes account name and password when you attempt to de-authorise, regardless of whether you are already signed in.

HT202213 how do I deauthorize a single computer (not my own) from my account?

I need to deauthorize my daughter's computer from my account. I've only been able to figure out how to deauthorize my own or all accounts - can't figure out how to select one other. Any help appreciated - thanks.

On your daughter's computer you need to use Store > Deautorize Computer and enter your Apple ID and password.
If you don't have access to her computer, but have 5 authorized in total, you can deauthorize all then reauthorize the ones that you want to. You can't repeat that process for a year.

HT1420 How can I deauthorize an old computer that I have no access to?

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.

How do i deauthorize a dead computer after using the "deauthorize all" button withing 12 months?

Ask the iTunes Store staff to do it. What you can do on your own is limited to reduce the possibility of abusing the remote deauthorization functionality.

HT1329 I have a dead computer with itunes on it. How do I deauthorize a dead computer?

How do you deauthorize a dead computer for itunes? We only get 5 computers, and I need a new computer to be authorized for itunes.

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.
For instructions, see the following document:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization

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 a single device?

Setting up a new computer and trying to migrate my iTunes library. When I attempt to turn on home sharing, it tells me that I already have 5 devices tied to my account. I only find an option to deauthorize all. Is there a way to deauthorize a single system?

Nevermind, I found the answer in one of the gazillion other posts on the same subject.

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

HT1727 How do I deauthorize a dead computer

How Do I deathorize a dead computer and transfer my old itunes library to a used computer.

There is no need to deauthorize unless you've reached the 5 computer max. If you have reached that max, deauthorze all computers and then authorize the one's you actually have.
As for moving the library, use the backup of the computer to move all the content to the new computer.

How to De-authorize a single computer?

In itunes I have 3 computers authorized. I'm currently using two of them. The De Authorization button says "Deauthorize all computers"nothing else. I am frightened that if I click it, it will do just that when really I would like to select the computer that i am no longer using and deauthorize it. Has anyone tried this before, once I hit "De Authorize All" will it then give me an opportunity to view which computers are authorized and and the option to simply de authorize a single computer?

It will appear when there are two or more authorized - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420 - and indeed you can only do this once a year.
Okay, okay, I had noted that in the past too (I see from my notes) but I have on multiple occasions seen comments such as, "Once you reach five total authorizations, a button will appear in your iTunes Store account that will allow you to deauthorize all your systems," (and similar) by ASC notables. https://discussions.apple.com/message/18745080

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 how do you deauthorize just one computer?

Can you deauthorize just one computer you no longer have? And if not when you deauthorize ALL, do you just reload???

when you deauthorize ALL, do you just reload???
No you do not reload. When you deauthorize, your music stays exactly where it is.
You can reauthorize at any time, provided the computer is in working condition and you are able to physically access it (and you still know your ID and password).

How do I deauthorize a lost computer when I've already used my 'Deauthorize All' for the year?

Hi there.
I have been working for months now trying to find a solution on how to deauthorize every computer I have used for my Ipod touch (every computer I have used has been mine, of course). But I've run into an issue: every computer I've authorized (5 total) have been either killed (hard drive died), or reformatted. Thus, now I can no longer go into the computer and 'deauthorize' the computer manually.
As I mentioned above, I've already used my deauthorize all for the year and will not be able to use it again until Febuary 23, 2013.
I cannot wait this long to reaccess my account just so I can save my files & back them up! Please, someone, I need some advice!
What can I do to reaccess my account and deathorize them all again? Is there any process? I do it!
I just want to be able to use my accounts again and back up my Ipod whenever I want!
Sincerely,
Adam
