can i deauthorize a computer once it's no longer in my possession?

Individual computers can only be deauthorised directly on them, but when you reach the 5 computer limit then you can log into your account and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then authorise/reauthorise the computers that you still have and need : authorising and deauthorising.

  • HT1420 How do I deauthorize my computer once it is no longer in use?

    How do I deauthorize my computer once it is no longer in use?  I got rid of some computers, and didn't deauthorize them first.  Any help would be appreciated.

    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.

  • HT1420 can i deauthorize a stolen computer

    My Macbook pro was stolen. It was our main itunes machine. Can I (1) get my stolen MAC's serial number from itunes, and (2) deauthorize that machine remotely? If so how!
    thanks

    You can dauthorize all computers, but you cannot deauthorize that computer because it is no longer in your possession to do so.

  • HT1420 my computer was stolen. can I deauthorize that computer remotely?

    My MBP was stolen. Can I deauthorize that computer from using my itunes account? I don't want to "deauthorize all" because I have multiple devices in different places. Also, my understanding is that I can only do that once per year. Is there a way to just deauthorize that one computer and leave the rest of my devices alone?

    You can deauthorize all once you have reashed the limit of 5 authorized computers.  Until then, there is no need to deauthorize 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.

  • 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?

  • Can I Deauthorize a computer I am not on?

    My account shows 5 computers authorized to play my iTunes music yet I only own three computers. Is there any way to see which computers are authorized so that I can selectively deauthorize the two that don't belong? How do I go about this?

    Is there any way to see which computers are authorized so that I can selectively deauthorize the two that don't belong?
    No. Neither you nor the iTunes Store staff can remotely deauthorize a computer; the Deauthorize All command just allows the normal limit to be exceeded.

  • HT1420 if I deauthorize a computer to clear all 5 authorizations, can I reauthorize the same machine?

    I' getting ready to upgrade the components of this authorized computer. Somehow someway I've used all 5 of my authorizations. Probably multiple on this one alone since I beta test operating systems on it. Can I deauthorize all 5 and reauthorize only the one that are in current use without losing my purchases and whatnot?
    Thanks

    Yes. Back the content up anyway.
    You may be able to deauthorize your computer individually with the Deauthorize Computer function even if it doesn't think it's authorized.

  • HT1420 How can I deauthorize a computer that is not hooked up

    I am new to Mac's. While I do have iphone and iPad I am trying to learn to navigate this Computer and having trouble hooking up my iTunes. It says I have to deactivate one computer but the only one I would like to deactivate is the olod one which is not hooked up. What should I do to fix this?

    You cannot deauthorize a computer that you do not have access to.
    You would have to deauthorize all, then authorize the active computers.

  • How can I deauthorize a computer that can no longer connect to the internet or is no longer working ?

    How can I deauthorize Itunes on a computer that can no longer connect to the internet or is no longer working ?

    You can't, which shouldn't be a problem unless you have 4 other computers authorized with the iTunes account and you need to authorize another.
    Once you have authorized 5 computers, you can de-authorize all computere from a computer that is currently authorized followed re-authorizing the current active computers that need to be authorized.

  • HT1420 how to deauthorize a computer that is not working

    I have a few computers on my acct that are no longer working. I can't turn them on to deauthorize them. Is there a way that I can do this from my current computer?

    Yes.
    For computers: You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. Otherwise you can "deauthorize all" from your iTunes account.
    Open iTunes on a computer
    From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
    Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
    Under "Computer Authorizations" select "Deauthorize All".
    Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "deauthorize all" your authorized computers, authorize each one as required.
    It is also possible to have mistakenly authorized a computer more than once. To fix that:
    Open iTunes.
    From the Store menu, choose "Deauthorize This Computer…"
    Enter your account name and password.
    Click OK. A message appears reading "This computer has been successfully deauthorized."
    Click OK.
    Repeat steps 2 through 5 above. If you see the same message reading: "This computer has been successfully deauthorized," then your computer was using multiple authorizations.
    Repeat steps 2 through 5 above until you see a message reading "This computer was not authorized. To authorize this computer, play a song or video you have purchased using this account."

  • HT1420 how to deauthorize a computer that is not with me anymore?

    how to deauthorize a computer that is not with me anymore?

    If you log into your account via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes then on your account's screen (under the 'Apple ID Summary' heading) there should be a 'Computer Authorisations' line with a 'Deauthorise All' button to the right of it - you can only 'deauthorise all' once every 12 months.
