How can I deauthorize an old computer that I have no access to?

You cannot yourself deauthorize a computer that's not working or to which you no longer have access. You can authorize a total of up to five systems, so unless you've hit that limit it's probably not really important that you deauthorize your dead unit now. Once you reach five total authorizations, a button will appear in your iTunes Store account that will allow you to deauthorize all your systems, so that would at that time recover the now-useless authorization.
If for some reason you really feel you need to deauthorize a system and you're not at the five-system limit, you can try contacting the iTunes Store customer support department through their Contact form (follow the on-screen instructions) and explaining the problem to them. They might be willing to clear your authorizations for you.

HT1420 how can i deauthorize an old computer

Can anyone tell me how i can deathorize an old computer, so i can sync my iphone to this computer.

iTunes > Store > "Deauthorize this Computer..."
You can deauthorize 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.

HT1420 how do you deauthorize just one computer?

Can you deauthorize just one computer you no longer have? And if not when you deauthorize ALL, do you just reload???

when you deauthorize ALL, do you just reload???
No you do not reload. When you deauthorize, your music stays exactly where it is.
You can reauthorize at any time, provided the computer is in working condition and you are able to physically access it (and you still know your ID and password).

How do I deauthorize a lost computer when I've already used my 'Deauthorize All' for the year?

Hi there.
I have been working for months now trying to find a solution on how to deauthorize every computer I have used for my Ipod touch (every computer I have used has been mine, of course). But I've run into an issue: every computer I've authorized (5 total) have been either killed (hard drive died), or reformatted. Thus, now I can no longer go into the computer and 'deauthorize' the computer manually.
As I mentioned above, I've already used my deauthorize all for the year and will not be able to use it again until Febuary 23, 2013.
I cannot wait this long to reaccess my account just so I can save my files & back them up! Please, someone, I need some advice!
What can I do to reaccess my account and deathorize them all again? Is there any process? I do it!
I just want to be able to use my accounts again and back up my Ipod whenever I want!
Sincerely,
Adam

Open iTunes, select iTunes Store from the sidebar, click on the Support link under Quick Links. Post an email explaining the situation to seek assistance.

HT1420 how do i deauthorize an old computer

It says I have old computers, I am currently only using my mac. I would like to know how to deactivate old computers?

Individual computers can only be deauthorised directly on them, but if you've reached 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 (re-)authorise the computers that you still have and need : authorising and deauthorising.

You do not deauthorize an iPod.

- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing

-Disassociate the iPod from your account. See:

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.

Ask the iTunes Store staff to do it. What you can do on your own is limited to reduce the possibility of abusing the remote deauthorization functionality.

HT1329 I have a dead computer with itunes on it. How do I deauthorize a dead computer?

How do you deauthorize a dead computer for itunes? We only get 5 computers, and I need a new computer to be authorized for itunes.

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.
For instructions, see the following document:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization

How do I deauthorize my old computer and authorize my new one?

How do I deauthorize my old computer and authorize a new one?

If the computer's running Mac OS X, move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store, and choose Authorize this Computer.
If the computer's running Windows, 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.
Deauthorization is done the same way, except for choosing Deauthorize this Computer.
