How do I deauthorize an old PC so I can authorize a newer one?

If you do not have the PC anymore and want to unauthorize it you can unauthorize all PC's by going to the iTunes Store and signing in. Once signed in click the Account button which is the part where you Apple ID appears once signed in. You will be asked to enter your password again. Once you do so, click view account. In the Account Information Window, beside 'Computer Authorizations' click Deauthorize All. Please note, once doing this you will have to authorize the computer you are using otherwise you will be unable to do things involving your Apple Products and Purchases.

The page Roger posted is good but was very confusing for me. I'll try to help you out since that article was confusing to me.
In iTunes, Click your name/email that is directly to the left of the search bar.
Click account info.
Sign in.
Click this button where the mouse is:
(the screenshot is from an older iTunes on windows, but it is the same on the new versions)
Done!
You can only use that button once per year, so try to remember to deauthorize computers before you get rid of them.

HT1420 Where is the store menu in iTunes. I just got a new computer. I disconnected the old computer and want to authorize the new one. There is no file menu or store menu anywhere I can see.

Where is the store menu in iTunes? I updated my computer and want to authorize it. I deauthorized the old computer (and probably my desktop at a different location, and want to authorize the new one. The help says that I need to clickon the store menu in iTunes. I do not see any store menu. I can access songs that I purchased a while back, but cannot download any new purchases. If I cannot get this worked out, how do I recoup my money for the new songs? Also, can I transfer the songs I purchased to another service? Brad

It's in the same spot on a Windows machine as well

About 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.
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 "De-authorize All".
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.
Also, see iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.

I have 2 phones saved on iCloud storage, one is old phone and other is my new one. How do I restore my old phone data from iCloud storage to my new one?
It shows like 4.3GB is stored on my old and 105.9MB on my new. I want to restore the 4.3 to my new, how do I do that please?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You will need to restore your phone and when prompted use the backup that you made yesterday.
Before you do so, you may wish to change your wife's iCloud login details, otherwise you may find that you then overwrite her data. She should have her own iCloud account to avoid this.

How do i give a old i-phone back and get a new one cheaper

I have old i-phone that doesn't work and i wanna take it apple and get a new one.
What do i do?

Apple doesn't buy back old iPhones or exchange for new...you can try selling on eBay or some other place as a non-working unit and see what you can get for it. To get a lower price iPhone you usually have to buy with a contract for a carrier which locks you in for a period of time.

How can I unathorize the computers so I can authorize a new one??

I had to format my HD and now I can´t use my buys from iTune store "new" computer.. can anyone help?
Thanks!!

Hi Wiwio
I did the same thing on my MacBook Pro so it may not work the same way on your computer but give this a try.
When in iTunes go to the Store menu and "Deauthorize Computer.." Once this process has finished "Authorize Computer.." from the Store menu, this will ensure that you still have the correct number of authorizations available.
Hope this helps

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.

OR...
You could use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
