How to De-authorize a single computer?

In itunes I have 3 computers authorized. I'm currently using two of them. The De Authorization button says "Deauthorize all computers"nothing else. I am frightened that if I click it, it will do just that when really I would like to select the computer that i am no longer using and deauthorize it. Has anyone tried this before, once I hit "De Authorize All" will it then give me an opportunity to view which computers are authorized and and the option to simply de authorize a single computer?

It will appear when there are two or more authorized - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420 - and indeed you can only do this once a year.
Okay, okay, I had noted that in the past too (I see from my notes) but I have on multiple occasions seen comments such as, "Once you reach five total authorizations, a button will appear in your iTunes Store account that will allow you to deauthorize all your systems," (and similar) by ASC notables. https://discussions.apple.com/message/18745080

Do you have to be logged in to the itunes account on the computer you want to deauthorize? Probably a dumb question, but not sure.
Yes, iTunes will prompt you for your iTunes account name and password when you attempt to de-authorise, regardless of whether you are already signed in.

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.

How do I authorize my new computer to work with Itunes?

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

How can I authorize my new computer (win7 prof 64bit) on ADE 3.0 (previous Win XP; ADE 2.0)?

Two things worth trying ..
~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~
Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.
In extreme cases on the mac, the following extra step has helped some people. Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash. If you are using 10.7, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1265248?tstart=0
~~~~~~~~~~
There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0. Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.
