How do i delete an ipod or computer i no longer own from home sharing?

I just downloaded itunes to my new laptop and tried to sign in to home sharing and it didn't let me since i  reached the max of 5 computers or devices. I dont even remember all the devices logged onto my profile. How can remove or deactivate a device i no longer own?

I don't think that there is a limit for home sharing.
I assume you mean authorizing your computer.  You can only authorize computers 5 at a time.
You will need to deauthorize all, then authorize the computers you want.

    How can I deactivate iTunes from a computer I no longer have?

    Authorization and Deauthorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
    More On 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.

  • HT4527 do i download itunes on my new computer before I transfer music from home sharing?

    Do I download itunes on my new computer before trying to home share with my old itunes account from my old computer?

    Install iTunes.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

  • How do I delete the Ipod folder cache?? (in ilife '08)

    just got an ipod and thought it would be fun to have all my pictures on it... not knowing that itunes makes a complete copy of all my pictures (25gb) in iphoto: iTunes constructs a photo database on your hard drive in order to make photo syncing fast when you add new photos in the future.
    now this completely ate all my reserve hard drive space on my laptop and now I don't want pictures on my ipod...so I deleted them... but the itunes photo database still exists on the hard drive of my laptop... not giving me back the 25gb of hard drive space I really need!
    someone helped me to find the following link:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300225
    but when I search the folder ipod folder cache I get the same folder as iPhoto Library,
    this is what I get: users/me/pictures/iphoto Library
    when I click it to open my iphoto opens...
    so how can I delete the Ipod folder cache with iphoto '08 7.1.1

    I found the answer....
    go to the folder of your pictures, then either right click (or ctrl + left mouse) on iphoto library then click show pakket, then you will find the Ipod folder cache which then can be deleted...

    how do i delete an ipod id

    Just what are you trying to accomplish? Just do not use it.
    Not that purchases are locked to the ID that purchased them and yo will not be able to do some things with them if you really delete the ID.
    To delete contact iTunes

  • HT4972 how do I tell the ipod which computer I normally use?  All of the computers i normally use to sync with tell me to use the computer I normally sync with?

    how do I tell the ipod which computer I normally use?  All of the computers i normally use to sync with tell me to use the computer I normally sync with?

    Then those are not the syncing computers. You can manage music among different computers.

  • HT3819 How can I disconnect a failed (no longer accessible) computer or iPod from home sharing?

    I have two computers authorized to my home sharing set up, but their hard drives have failed.  I can't access them to due authorize them from home sharing.  How can I get around that hurdle?

    Hello harp_n_run,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with Home Sharing. 
    If you do not have access to the authorized computer, you can deauthorize all computers in your iTunes Store account settings.  You can then go back and authorize the computers you have access to. 
    You can follow these steps to deauthorize all your computers:
    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/).
    After deauthorizing all your computers, you can follow these steps to authorize the computers you do have access to:
    To authorize a computer using your Apple ID
    Open iTunes
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer. (In earlier versions of iTunes, access this option from the Advanced menu).
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.

  • My daughter and i share an itunes account. how do i delete her and set her up with her own?

    my daughter and i share an itunes account. how do i delete her and set her up with her own?

    You need to make an iTunes Store account in her name and with her unique Apple ID. Note that everything she has purchased and downloaded under your Apple ID will not transfer to hers. She will need (or you will) to repurchase all of her iTunes Store items.
    She will also need her own user account on the computer if you share the same computer.

    It is not clear how or where you "added" your email, but you cannot create an Apple ID using an email address that is already associated with another Apple ID.
    If that is what you did, delete that email address from your family's Apple ID. You should be free to create a new one.
    Do all that by starting here: https://appleid.apple.com/
    Select "Manage your Apple ID". Log in with your family's Apple ID and then delete your own email address wherever it appears.
    Save Changes, log out, and create the new one using the same website. This time select "Create an Apple ID".
    Please don't forget your security questions, and be sure to specify a "rescue email address" that is separate from all other Apple IDs. You will avoid so many problems that way...
