How do you deauthorize computers that are no longer functional?

How do you deauthorize computers that are no longer functional?

i followed the directions to deauthorize one "fried" computer and one old Windows laptop i no longer use from my new MacBook Pro.  When i go into iTunes on my new MacBook Pro, however, iTunes says i still have 5 authorized computers and i can't set up my music on my laptop using iTunes Match.  I did not deauthorize all my computers because i still have an iphone and two ipads.  Now that i've invoked deauthorize, what am i supposed to do for the next 12 months until i can deauthorize again?

  • TS2972 How do I deauthorize computers that I no longer have?

    How do I deauthorize computers that I no longer have access to?  It's been a long time since I first started using iTunes and didn't think to deauthorize a computer when we took it out of service, or it crashed and then we couldn't take it out of service if we wanted to. So, now that I have a new MacBook, I want to authorize it with my iTunes account and the only option to deuthorize a computer is "deauthorize all" - or deauthoize from the actual computer (which I no longer have due to it crashing, etc..)
    So, part two of my question -- if I have to choose "deauthorize all" will it affect anything in my current libraries?  I'm hoping I can just "deauthorize all" and then go to the specific computers I have now and reauthorize without losing any music, etc.  Is that a correct assumption?
    Thanks!

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

  • How can I deauthorize computers that I no longer own or have access to?

    I need to deauthorize computers that I no longer own or have access to. How can I do this?
    Thanks

    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- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.

  • Can't deauthorize computers that are no longer with us

    I am in a bind. I am an instructor at a university (that's only part of my bind). Last year, I put iTunes on 4 classroom computers as well as my office computer. Over the summer, the IT folks upgraded to new machines in the classrooms and I got a new one in my office. I didn't remember to deauthorize any of them before they dissapeared.
    Now, I can't listen to music that I paid for. Is there a work-around for this?

    If you have run out oc authorisation becuse you have used up all five, you can deauthorise all your computers from your store account.
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/authorization/
    Look under: How do I deauthorize all of my computers?
    You can only do this once a year, so you need to remember to deauthorize PC that are not in use or going to be upgraded.

  • HT1420 How do I deauthorize computers that are dead and buried?

  • HT202213 I need to delete computers that are no longer active from my home sharing account, how do I do this?

    I need to delete computers that are no longer active from my itunes Home sharing account so that I can sign up the new computers.  I am using a Mac laptop. The computers that were previously linked to the Homesharing are no longer available, they have been wiped and are not in the house anymore.   Does anyone know how to do this?

    The apps aren't stored in your personal iCloud account and don't use any of your storage.  They are only stored in the App store.  The iCloud symbols are only links to your previous purchases in the App store so you can download them again.  If you don't want to see certain apps, you can hide them in iTunes on your computer as explained here: iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases.  Once hidden in iTunes, you should no longer see them on your phone.

  • How do you remove photo that are synced to your phone

    How do you remove photos that are synced to your phone

    Hi amandafromcroydon,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    To remove synced photos, you sync again without those photos selected for sync.
    iTunes: Syncing photos
    To delete synced photos and videos from your device
    In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
    Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
    Click Apply.
    Take care,
    Nubz

  • How do you view photos that are backed up on icloud

    How do I view photos that are on icloud on my personal computer

    Photos in an iOS backup cannot be viewed, not until you've restored the backup to a device, and they can't be viewed on a computer.
    I'm assuming you are refering to photos in an iOS backup from a device and not photo stream, which is not a backup.

  • HT1329 How do you deauthorize ipods that no longer work or have been stolen. What does it mean that you only have 5 devices that can download your itunes library. How do you deactivte old serial numbers and add new ones as of now we only have one ipod

    Over the years we have owned many i-pods. Most of them ran out of juice or were just outdated some even stolen. As of right now I have one i-pod that should be authorized to download music from my library. I plan to get a new one. My question is how do you deactivate all the old i-pods so that i-tunes doesnt think I have all these pods downloading from my personal lbrary of music. If I get a new one and plug it in it will say you are authorized 1 or 2  or whatever it is at this point to download music from this libtary. How to I get rid of all the old devices (serial numbers) that don't draw from my i-tunes library anymore?

    Ipods/iphones/ipads/apple tvs are not authorized at all.
    Authorization applies ONLY to computers.

  • Deauthorize computers that are gone or reformatted

    I need to know how to de-authorize a computer that will not start up and on 2 others that I had to reformat the hard drives and reinstall the OS. I ran out of authorizations when I set up newly reformatted drives. Please help. I know I had other computers that I scrapped that had authorizations too.

    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
    *To deauthorize all computers associated with your accoun0t*
    If you find you have reached 5 authorizations, you can reset your authorization count by clicking Deauthorize All in the Account Information screen.
    1. Click iTunes Store in the menu on the left side of iTunes.
    2 .If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
    2. Click the Account button again (your ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
    4. In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
    N.b. Once you've done this you will not be allowed to "deauthorie all" again for a year, so, if possible, it is better to deauthorize computers before reformatting etc.

    There is an app called 'Guides for Pokémon X and Y - Videos, Walkthroughs and More!' available on the iOS app store. It is rated 4+ but has adult language (f**k). I tried contacting the vendor but never heard back.
