how do i deauthorize a computer i no longer have? or has broken down on me and never had a chance to deauthorize it

If you did not deauthorize before selling, you have to deauthorize all from your actual computer:
Remember to deauthorize your computer before you sell it, give it away, or get your computer serviced. Also, make sure you deauthorize your computer before you upgrade your RAM, hard disk or other system components, or reinstall Windows. If you do not deauthorize your computer before you upgrade these components, one computer may use multiple authorizations.

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

  • How do i deactivate a computer i no longer have from my homesharing?

    hi, I have just purchased a new computer because my previous laptop died - when I downloaded I tunes, it has told me all my 5 homesharing devices are full - how do I deactivate a computer I no longer physically have anymore - can you reset homesharing computers without losing your data?

  • How can I deauthorise a computer I no longer have?

    Hi
    I've got several computers authorised to play music purchased from iTunes.
    One of those computers died sometime ago unexpectedly and is beyond repair. Because I can't use that computer to open up iTunes and deauthorise, is there a way I can look at the list of computers already authorised and remove the damaged computer from the list?
    I've used iTunes for a long time, and can't think of an answer. If anyone has a clue i'll -be very grateful!

    is there a way I can look at the list of computers already authorised and remove the damaged computer from the list?
    No.
    When you get to 5 authorized, you can select Deauthorize all and then reauthorize what you currently have.

  • My iphone 4s was originally sync with a computer I no longer have and now it won't sync with icloud because I can't turn on the sync portion on the phone because it only recognizes the computer I no longer have

    I have an iPhone 4s  I have gone to iTunes and everything has been synced in the clouds.
    Buuuttttt when I go to my iPhone which I purchased last year in 2012 I started it up with a computer I no longer have.
    When I go to setting and then go to "iTunes Wi-Fi Sync"
    I get the following message:  Sync will resume when -----Pc is available.  well this computer is no longer available.  And the area on the iphone showing up is in grey so it won't allow me to syn via wi-fi
    I downloade some txt messages alerts a long time ago and no matter what I try I can't get them on my phone.  they show up in iTunes but can't get them to my sound section on my phone.

  • HT1420 How do I see what computer or devices are authorized with my apple id?

    How do I see which computers are authorzied on my apple id?  I see where to deauthorize all of the them but it does not show me individually.

    You cannot. Go to your account in the store, Deauthorise All and then re-authorise the computers you still have.
    The laptops.
    However, if you have previously had your account on an old computer you no longer have, had the hard drive in your laptop replaced, or even had the hard drive re-imaged (wiped and re-loaded), then they will be previous computers that require deauthorising.

  • 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 deactivate iTunes from a computer I no longer have?

    Authorization and Deauthorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    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.

    My husband changed the Apple ID on our computer.  For some reason, iCloud has the old Apple ID and it won't let me change it.  I've been locked out of my iPad twice and had to restore it because of iCloud.  How do I change the Apple ID (not the password)?

    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    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.
