How to de-authorise a computer which has been scrapped so I can authorise a new one?

As the title says. According to iTunes I have 5 computers authorised to an old email address which I purchased many songs through. I've never owned 5 computers and indeed my new email address had only been linked to two computers but iTunes says this is my 5th!! The old computer was scrapped several years ago so I can't de-authorise it. What now?
Any answers please bear in mind I'm a muggle where computers are concerned :-)
Thanks in advance

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup cop of your computer.
Certainly you did not have our computer serviced without making sure your backup copy was up to date.
In some countries you can redownload some content:

  • HT1420 how do i deauthorise  a computer which has crashed on me. Also I have 4 other computers which are authorised

    How do I deauthorise a computer which has crashed. Also I have five computers authorised and need to deautorise the one which has crashed and have no access so i can authorise the new iMac which I have purchased

    You cannot
    You must deauthorize all, then authorize the active computers.

    Hello there, Gemss.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for the issue you're describing:
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    Although all of the scenarios may be applicable, many folks find that the following section helps resolve their issue most often:
         Authorize using the correct account name
    The items you're trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
    Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
    Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you'll need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
    Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
    If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
    If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • How to reuse the process chain which has been deleted?

    hi
    guys
                  how to reuse the process chain which has been deleted?
    your regards
    suresh

    if you want to "recover" the deleted process chain, try to check DEV / QAS / PRD. Maybe there is a copy still available
    Or check the following tables in SE11: RSPCCHAIN / RSPCCHAINATTR
    Good luck !

  • HT4436 How many devices (e.g. computer and laptop and ipad and iphone) can be linked to one iCloud account? Thanks.

    How many devices (e.g. computer and laptop and ipad and iphone) can be linked to one iCloud account?
    Thanks.

    At least 255 separate devices. But if you have a lot of users each with devices of their own, then they should each have separate user accounts, separate Apple IDs, and separate iTunes accounts; this will generally require at least one Apple ID/iCloud account per user.

  • How to reassign a workflow task which has been already acquired

    Hi,
    I would be glad if anybody could explain how to reassign a workflow task which is been acquired by one user to another user. I am getting Worklist Service Task Update Error when I am trying to change acquired by field and update the task.
    Thanks,
    Mythili

    I can use delegateTask() if the context belongs to the person who acquired the task but I want to delegate a task to different person even if it is not me who acquired the task.
    My second question is when should I set Assignees for a task?Is it when a person acquires a task for the first time or do I need to specify it in some configuration file, so that every task that is created newly will have a set of assignees by default.
    Thanks,
    Mythili.

  • HT204053 I changed my Apple ID (email address) to a new Apple ID (email address), but my iPhone is asking for my password on my old email address which has been discontinued, now I can not get into iCloud or add Apps because the old email and password do

    I recently changed my Apple ID (to my new email address), but my iPhones are still showing my old Apple ID and are asking for my old password.  It no longer exists and now I can not add any Apps or get into iCloud because they previous ID no longer exists but that is what is popping up in Apple ID box and I cannot change it on the phone.  How do I get my new Apple ID assigned to my phone(s)?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If it's iCloud that is asking for these details:
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
    This article provides more information about Activation Lock.
    If it's iTunes asking for these details:
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • How do I get my music back from a computer which has been recently serviced. I am able to log into my itunes account but lost half of my library which was music I imported originally.

    I need help. I recently had my cpu serviced by Geek Squad, They completely renamed the CPU and now all of the music I imported is gone. I dont even have my library anymore. I can usually click on itunes and play music from my library. Its all gone. I have authorized this "new" computer for my account but I still dont have my library. I even went in and deauthorized the computer under the old name. I am very frustrated, as i have some songs which were purchased on itunes on my phone but not all of the music that was imported from CDs. Most of which I got rid of once I imported them into my library. all I want is my entire library back. On my old iphone 3g, which I let my kids use, my entire library is there but on my 4gS, i only have the music which was purchased through itunes. I miss my songs and have no idea where to begin with this process.
