How do you deauthorize a computer if the computer has quit.

My computer has died. Persons think it is the logic board. I can make it a slave drive to see data on the computer. How do i deauthorize iTunes on that computer?

I don't believe you can unless you deauthorize all your computers currently authorized. See iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization

  • How can you deauthorize a computer that you no longer have?

    How can I deauthorize a computer I no longer have? I was trying to sign into my itunes on my computer and it said that it was already being used on 5 other computers and that I would have to deauthorize one of them before I could sign in. I don't have any of those computers anymore so what needs to be done?

    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.
    For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.

  • HT1420 How do you Deauthorize a computer if its been trashed or can no longer be turned on?

    I have authorized my itunes acount on 5 different computers, but of the 5 i can only access one. I just got a new computer and want to keep my itunes account on my old one and put it on my new one but cant because of the 5 computer limite. The problem is that the other 4 computers that i had authorized before are no longer functional, so how do i deauthorize them if i can even turn them on?

    Log into your iTunes Store account -> Store menu / View Account. The Deauthorize All button will be there.

    How does one deauthorize a computer that cannot connect to the internet?

    You can deauthorize all computers linked to your Apple ID from another computer with Internet access.
    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.

    How can i deauthorize a computer that once was authorized then I had to reinstall (windows 7) like 3 times and reload itunes reach time to get this authorization crap. I only have 3 computers actually authorized. This one is the 4th. This is ridicules.

    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
    (Best to deauthorise a computer before you reinstall the OS on it.)

    how can i deauthorize a computer that crashed and is now in the trash world? i purchased a new laptop and need to authorize my computer

    You cannot, nor do you need to, until you reach the limit of 5.  Once you reach 5, then you can deauthorize all, and then authorize the active computers.

  • HT1727 How do I deauthorize a computer whne the hard drive has crashed and is not recoverable ?

    How do I deauthorize a computer when the hard drived has crashed and is not  recoverable ?

    You cannot directly 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. If you really want to deauthorize that system now, you can go into your iTunes Store account and there will be a "deauthorize all" button. You can then re-authorize the computers you're using.
    Note that you can only use the "deauthorize all" option once per year, unless something's changed very recently.

  • HT1420 how do i Deauthorize a computer that has had the hard drive lock up and can not get it working

    how do  i deauthorize a computer that has had the hard drive lock up and can not get it working

    You can only deauthorise individual computers directly on them. Otherwise if you've reached the 5 computer limit, then you should be able to log into your iTunes account and 'deauthorise all' (which you can only do once every 12 months) and you can then (re-)authorise up to 5 computers : authorising and deauthorising.

  • How do you encript voice memos in the itunes library so no one else at the computer can listen to them?

    How do you encrypt voice memos in the itunes library so no one else at your computer can listen to them?

    iTunes has no ability to encrypt anything. You'll need to search for encryption software appropriate for whatever type of computer you have. Or, you could set up separate accounts for other users of your computer and password your account.

  • How do you get Photos to recognize the "old" iPhoto Library on an external drive without it copying it to the internal drive on the computer which is low in HD space?

    How do you get Photos to recognize the “old” iPhoto Library on an external drive without it copying it to the internal drive on the computer which is low in HD space?

    Launch Photos while holding down the alt/options key.
    This will show the Library Chooser panel. Select the library on the external drive. Photos will create a Photos Library on the same drive.
    Photos may not be able to open the library, however, if your external drive has an incompatible file system. It needs to be formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled) and locally mounted, not a remotely mounted volume, as described here:  Format external drives to Mac OS Extended before using with Aperture

  • How do you rearrange app icons on the computer?  I used to be able to do it in the older versions of IOS

  • HT1420 How do I deauthorize ONE computer?  All I see in account information is an option to deauthorize ALL computers.  I see where it says to deauthorize them all and then re-authorize the ones still in use but I do not want to do that.

    How do I deauthorize ONE computer?  All I see in account information is the option to deauthorize ALL computers.  I do not want to do this.  I authorized an iPad at my previous employer (school for Autism) and want to leave that one authorized so the students will still have access to the apps and music.  How can I just deauthorize the desktop (windows) that I no longer use?

    I am in a similar situation. Hoping there has been an update to fix this problem by now.... I do NOT want to deauthorize all 5 computers, AT ALL. I only want to deauthorize 1 computer I do not have anymore! Because there is no way I'd ever want to deal with re authorizing the other 4, when I only need to deauthorize ONE.
    Have they patched this problem yet?

  • How do you transfer photo albums to the computer?  When I hook to USB, it only shows photos from the camera icon, not the photos icon.  I am trying to save pictures for the in-laws from their ipad.

    How do you transfer photo albums to the computer?  When I hook to USB, it only shows photos from the camera icon, not the photos icon.  I am trying to save pictures for the in-laws from their ipad.

    I have no clue that you mean by it only shows photos from the camera icon. It has to show the photos in the camera roll of the photos app since those are the only photos that you can import via the USB cable.
    There are other ways of transferring photos to a computer, but they involve using third party apps. There are WiFi transfer apps that will do this. DropBox will also let you upload photos to a public folder and then download them to a computer.
