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.

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.

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.

Expanding on what Niel said, 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 it's probably not really important that you deauthorize your dead unit now.

You cannot... But...
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.

About 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.
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 "De-authorize All".
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.

How do I deauthorize an old computer I no longer use?

Hello,
I still have one of 5 left, but how can I deauthorize a PC that died and now I don't use anymore? This has happened twice, and I've got two PCs that I use (laptop and PC) so I'd like to find a way to remove the two that I can't use anymore to free up a couple extra.
thanks,
Chris

You can't deauthorise a 'dead' installation or computer on it's own. However once you reach the limit of 5 authorisations you have the option to deauthorise them all in one go from your iTunes account and start over. Just note that you can only use this option once a year: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

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).
