How do i find list of authorized computers

How do I find list of computers authorized on account?

Soooo..... I only have one laptop computer (running Windows 7).  I was synching my iPad, and all of a sudden I was told that my laptop was not authorized (strange, because I have used it to synch with my iPad before).  I authorized it, and was told it was now the second computer authorized.  WRONG, it's the only computer ever authorized. 
THAT's why I want a list of authorized computers.  I suspect that I'll see the same one listed twice.  And if Apple is going to randomly de-authorize my computer, and then increment the number of computers authorized every time I overcome this fault, then that's a problem!  It's gotta be some kind of fraud if it can't be fixed.  They license the softwarse (and sell the hardware) saying I can authorize 5, but I can now only authorize 4 for the rest of the year (or is it 8?), because I can only deauthorize and re-authorize once a year.
On the other hand, if someone sneaked in my house, symched with my iPad and broke into my account and authorized ANOTHER computer, I want to know that too, so I can de-authorize them, and call the police.
It's not like there isn't an electronic record somewhere, because how else is iTunes supposed to keep track of the computers authorized?

    How do I see list of authorized computers on my account

    You cannot. Apple does not provide that information.
    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.

    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.

  • I want to update my phone, but i purchased many apps and music on the phone. it won't let me authorize my computer so i cannot update. i don't want to deauthorize all my computers. how can i find out which 5 computers i have authorized?

    i want to update my phone, but i purchased many apps and music on the phone. it won't let me authorize my computer so i cannot update. i don't want to deauthorize all my computers. how can i find out which 5 computers i have authorized? also how can i update the software?

    This is a tedious solution, which is stupid!  And some users report an inability to reauthorize a computer after an "en masse” deauthorization.  I can’t believe Apple doesn’t provide a list or menu to find out which computers you’ve authorized! Obviously, APPLE knows (or else they couldn’t tell us how many computers we have authorized)--so why can’t they give us access to that information about our own computers??!!!
    And for an already-authorized computer with a hard drive that’s since been replaced and upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, would it be recognized as a “new computer” and require authorization? Would its previous incarnation (i.e., with the old hard drive and OS) be considered a separate computer? Some users report they can’t authorize a computer after an OS upgrade because of that. Can’t believe we have to do such a bass-ackwards kludge!

  • How can I find a list of authorized computers?

    I'd like to see which computers are listed as authorized. That way I can see which ones should be deauthorized.

    Why do you think that Apple won't show you the list of computers?  I suppose that it's for my own good.  I retired an old computer and bought a new one and can't authorize it.  I'd like to see the list of 5 computers and deauthorize just the one that was retired - without disrupting service for the other computers.
    This is very user-unfriendly.

    No such list, I'm afraid. If you are at your limit and have machines you no longer need be authorized but have no control over, then see the following:

  • TA22652 how can i find out the 5 computers that I have authorized with my account?

    i know that i have 5 computers authorized, but how can I find out what computers i am authorized on?

    There is not a way.  Often, the five are not really separate computers, which can occur when you do certain PC upgrades without first deauthorizing, and then need to use up another authorization.
    If you have hit the limit of 5, you can use the Deauthorize All command, up to once a year.

  • HT1420 How do I find out which 5 computers have been authorized?

  • HT1420 Can I see a list of authorized computers?

    I have five authorized computers. I understand I can deauthorize all of them and then reauthorize them one at a time, but can I see a list of what is currently authorized?

    It's not currently possible to see a list of them (and if you've reinstalled or updated the OS on a computer without first deauthorising it then it's possible that one computer may be using multiple authorisations)

    i have too many computers authorized already but I have changed computers in the past few years and so some may be gone, but I cant tell without a list

    There is no list available from your end. If you've run out of authorizations, use the Deauthorize All function and reauthorize as needed.
