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.

    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.

    You can only deauthorise individual computers directly on them. Otherwise if you've reached the 5 computer limit, then you should be able to log into your iTunes account and 'deauthorise all' (which you can only do once every 12 months) and you can then (re-)authorise up to 5 computers : authorising and deauthorising.

  • HT1420 how can i deauthorize ONE computer with a DIFFERENT COMPUTER

    how can i deauthorize ONE computer with a DIFFERENT COMPUTER?

    You can't without being at that computer, you can only deauthorize all.

  • HT1420 How do I deauthorize ONE computer?  All I see in account information is an option to deauthorize ALL computers.  I see where it says to deauthorize them all and then re-authorize the ones still in use but I do not want to do that.

    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?

  • HT1420 How do I deauthorize a computer that has crashed and can't be restarted?

    How do I deauthorize a computer that has crashed and can't be restarted?

    You don't, nor do you need to.
    When you reach the limit of 5 then you can deauthorize all.

    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.

  • HT1420 How do you Deauthorize a computer if its been trashed or can no longer be turned on?

    I have authorized my itunes acount on 5 different computers, but of the 5 i can only access one. I just got a new computer and want to keep my itunes account on my old one and put it on my new one but cant because of the 5 computer limite. The problem is that the other 4 computers that i had authorized before are no longer functional, so how do i deauthorize them if i can even turn them on?

    Log into your iTunes Store account -> Store menu / View Account. The Deauthorize All button will be there.

  • HT1420 how do I deauthorize a computer that has crashed and cannot be recovered

    One of my 5 authorized computer crashed can could not be recovered.  How do I deauthorize it?

    There is no reason to do so unless you have reached the max of 5.
    If you have reached the max of 5, use the instructions in the link from which you posted your question to deauthorize all then authorize the computers you actually have.

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

  • HT1420 how do I deauthorize a computer not in my possession?

    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.
      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.
    Also, see iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.

  • HT1420 How do I deauthorize a computer that is no longer functional or has been stolen...

    ...since I have had both happen to two laptops recently and now I can't authorize a 6th (but in reality a 4th) computer...seems a bit like needing the key to get inside, but the key is locked in the house. So if I have 5 computers stolen I would need to go find those who stole it to deauthorize? Come on now. If I am incorrect and there is in fact another way, then at minimum more information needs to be represented regarding the proper procedure to achieve my goal of deauthorizing an inaccessable computer. I cannot be the only one who has faced this conundrum. Eventually if 5 computers fail beyond repair or are stolen and I can't gain access to deauthorize them then I will have NO access to my own songs. That is unnacceptable at best, and the way I see it potentially illegal.

    I was worried I'd get completely locked out if I did that. I don't assume it's going to function logically when it comes to software...So deauthorize all and then reauthorize the ones I want authorized?
