How to "deauthorize all computers" in iTunes?
A computer has died I am attempting to deauthorize all computers in iTunes in order to remove it from the authorized computer list. However, none of the other "authorized" computers display the "Deauthorize All Computers" option on the "Store" menu in iTunes. I am running ITunes 12.0.1.26. Why is the "Deauthorize All Computers" not being displayed and how do I deauthorize the dead computer without it?
launch iTunes and sign in then go to your accounts settings.

HT1420 How to deauthorize all computers if you no longer have access to the authorized computers
I have a new computer and have moved to a new state. I tried to authorize this computer but unable b/c I've used my 5 authorizations. Besides contacting people to deauthorize my old computers, what can I do from here?
Use the iTunes command Store > Deauthorize All, and then re-authorize just the ones you are going to use.
That command only appears if you are at the limit of 5, and you can only use it once per 12 months. -

i need to de-authorize a computor that no longer works. i undersatnd that i need to de-authroize all computors associated with this acount and then authrorize each computor that i want. question : will i lose my music libary??
No, you won't lose anything. De-authorising only means not allowing a computer to play purchased content but it won't delete the file.

I have reformatted my PC several times in the past year

how I could do this without waiting till October 2010.

How do I deauthorize all computers associated with my Apple ID?
Hi all,
First post on Apple Support Communities :-)
When I bought my first Apple product (iPad 2) a few months ago, I didn't know anything about Apple IDs, iTunes Store, Home Sharing and Computer authorizations. I experimented a little with iTunes and home sharing in VMware virtual machines (Windows 7) on my computer (Ubuntu). I quickly used up the 5 authorized computers, so I used the "Deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID" feature in iTunes and kept on experimenting (since I couldn't get things to work properly in my virtual environment).
Now I have an iPhone 4S and my daughter has an iPod Touch 4G, and I'm planning on buying the new Apple TV. But I'm not going to because I can't have Home Sharing. I can't "clean" the authorized computers because I did it a few months ago and it is only permitted once a year.
It is possible to request an exception (and how?) and have the authorized computers cleaned up?
Thanks a lot
SebastienIf you can't deauthorize systems just by the "deauthorize" command under the Store menu in iTunes, then go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to report the problem to the iTunes Store. They may be willing to clear your authorizations for you.

Just purchased a new iMac and somehow all of my licenses are consumed between existing/old computers and I am not allowed to synch my iTunes library using Match. Looking at the on-line help provides guidance to choose a "deauthorize all computers" option from the Store drop down in iTunes but I only have these options:
Obviously, I need to figure out how to do this and then reauthorize from each of my 5 machines. Any help is greatly appreciated!
ThanksHI

We lost access to are computers in the last two months and we want to know how to deauthorize two computers from the ituns account can you please help me please?
If you don't have access to the computers to manually deauthorize them (they were sold, stolen, etc), then you have to log into your account, deauthorize all computers, and then re-authorize the machine(s) that you want to have access. This page explains how.

I cannot authorize my new computer in iTunes because I hit the 5 device limit. However, I cannot deauthorize the old one because it's gone. I also cannot use the deauthorize all computers button because I did last year when I was replacing computers. Is there any other way of deauthorizing computers that no longer exist?

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

I just bought a new computer with windows 8. I have 2 other computers (windows 7) authorized for itunes. When I go to manage your account the only choice I am give is to deauthorize all computers. There is no place from which to authorize this new computer or to deauthorize the 1 computer that is dead rather than both. Suggestions appreciated
To authorize the Windows 8 computer, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.
It isn't possible to individually deauthorize a computer which is dead or which you don't have either physical or network access to.

Itunes Deauthorize All Computers
I have authorised 5 computers with my account, but now I do not access to few of them(computers), I already had used Deauthorize all Computers and now I need to add my new Macbook Pro which I have recently bought. I have an active iTunes Match subscription. Help!!
I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you saying that you have 5 computers authorized to your Apple ID and you want to add another, but you have already use Deauthorize all Computers within the past year? Is that correct? If so, you'll need to contact iTunes Store support directly and ask them to deauthorize all your computers.

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? -
