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.

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 home sharing devices without the device?

Just enabled home sharing between my primary PC and a secondary laptop. iTunes alerted me that I've now established home sharing on 4/5 devices. I don't know what the other 2 devices are - how can I deauthorize them?

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.

HT4557 How do you deauthorize an ios device or computer from homesharing?

I am trying to authorize my new computer to homesharing and i am told i already have 5 devices. How would i go about deauthorizing some of them?

Note:

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).
Then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time.

How do i deauthorize devices i no longer can operate?

Hi, my ipod was stolen last spring and my old ibook just died. I got a new macbook and I want to deauthorize the other two devices. How do I do that if I no longer have them to hook up and do it automatically?

hi,
if you no longer have your devices, I do not know any way to deauthorized them. what you could do instead of deauthorized single device is to use the "deauthorized all" option as described is this article; http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93014
this will reset all your authorization. you must be aware that this option could only be used once a year.

HT1660 How can I maintain two separate itunes accounts on one single device without erasing either set of data?

How can I maintain two separate itunes accounts on one single device (iPhone 4) without erasing either set of data when syncing with itunes?

Hi,
Depends on what you trying to setup but for purchases, you can roll down at the very end of the iTunes/AppStore pages to logout of your current account and then login into a different one. Then your purchase will be billded to this new account. Everything will sync as you used to but in order to use the purchased content in iTunes or other devices, you will need to authorize them (you can have up to 5 devices authorized for an account).

How do I deauthorize a device I've already sold?

I currently have 4 devices authorized to my Apple ID: My MacBook, my iPhone, my iPod touch and my iPad. The problem is, I've copmletely wiped and logged out of all accounts on my iPad, and sold it. I'm not sure if it's still authorized to my Apple ID. If so, how would I deauthorize it without deauthorizing all of my other devices?

I just bought anothe macbook and tried to add it to my home share but got a message about too many devises. How do I deauthorize machine I no longer have as I am sure some of those I threw out had itunes?

You'll have to log in to your iTunes account. On the Account Information page click on the 'Deauthorize All' button. You will have to re-authorize all the computers you presently want to associate with the iTunes account. (See screen shot below.)
In the future, to avoid having to deauthorize all and then re-authorize, select 'Deauthorize This Computer…' from the 'Store' menu on the computer you no longer want to use with the iTunes account.
