HT1420 how do i find out what computers are authorized?

I have the problem that as I switch to a new iphone, all of a sudden i get the message from itunes that "you have already authorized 5 computers". I have had a couple of laptops that I no longer have access to. How do I find out what machines i have linked and remove machines from that list?

However, it seems that you can check...

In order to see which devices are authorized on your account:
Open iTunes
Click Store
Click Account
Click View Account
Enter your password
Look in the second section iTunes in the Cloud
To the far right you'll see Manage Devices
Once it's clicked you will see all of the devices currently authorized in iTunes/on your account
I was going to say, "Hope this helps," but based on the above, I'm pretty sure it did!
Thanks guys..."

For anyone who may come across this thread, Tina is incorrect. That doesn't show all the systems that are authorized to a given account, only those which are set up for automatic downloads or redownloading, which isn't the same as those that are authorized to an account to play protected content. There is no way to see a list of those systems which are authorized to the account.

How do i find out what computers are authorized on my account

And why isn't there a list of authprized devices available? Apple knows I have x number of authorized devices, and they know what they are. Why can't I have access to this information about my own account?

How do I find out what computers are authorized on my itunes account? I want to add my MBP to my itunes account but I can't because I already have 5 computers authorized BUT I can't remember what computers I had authorized. I'm assuming iPhones count as computers in this instance.
Thanks

I'm not aware that you can see a list anywhere - and no, iPhones (nor iPads or iPods) count, only computers do (but a computer could count more than once e.g. if you've updated or reinstalled the OS without first deauthorising it).
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 authorise/reauthorise the computers that you still have and need : authorising and deauthorising.

You cannot.
Some people wish there was a way to print out a list of authorized computers that would look like "Suzy's laptop, Dad's Macbook, and the desktop we threw away last year." But there is no way to do so.
It is especially confusing, since a single machine may be using up multiple authorizations. Also, authorizations may be used up by machines that do not even exist any more.
If you are at the limit, you can use the Deauthorize All command, and then reauthorize just the ones you need.

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 find out which computers are authorized on my Apple ID?

I have seemed to have lost track of the computers that are authorized on my Apple ID. In iTunes I can find how many computers are authorized on my ID but no list of computer names.

There is no list available from your end.

How do I find out what accounts are authorized to sync with my iPod?

I'm trying to download a video onto my iPod classic, but I keep getting a message saying it won't download because the iPod can only contain information from five different accounts. But when I checked how may accounts were authorized, iTunes said there were only two accounts out of the available five that were authorized. I really want this movie on my iPod but I'm not sure where to go from here?

"How do I find out what computers are authorized to use my Store Account? "

how do i find out what computers are registered. I do not believe I have 5 computers registered

If you mean which computers that your account is authorised on then you can't, you can only see the count.
Have you had other computers in the past and/or updated or reinstalled the OS on your current computers without deauthorising them ?
As you have 5 computers authorised then you can log into your account on a computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option 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.

Deauthorize all, then authorize the active computers.

HT1420 How can I find out what computers I have authorised? Or how can I deauthorise a computer if i no longer have access to it?

Hi,
I have 4 authorised computers for my iPhone but I have no idea what 2 of them are. Is there a way I can see what the computers authorised are? Or can I deauthorise computers that I no longer have access to?

I'm not aware of anyway to see a list of your authorised computers. Have you had other computers in the past and/or updated or reinstalled the OS on those that you still have without first deauthorising them ? Individual computers can only be deauthorised directly on them, but when 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 authorise/reauthorise the computers that you still have and need : authorising and deauthorising.

How do i find out what devices are authorised on my apple ID?

I have just bought a new iMac and want to get all my itunes library etc on it. However, apparently i have reached my limit of 5 authorisations, which is entirely possible as I have had a number of iphones, Macair and ipads, some of which I either no longer own or are no longer functioning. How do I find out what devices are authorised and then deauthorise any that I don't use any more - given that they may not even work!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't de-authorise just the computers you no longer have access to.
Your only option is to de-authorise all your computers and then re-authorise those you wish to be authorised. You can do this by logging into your account settings in iTunes on your computer (Store > View My ID) and selecting the option to de-authorise all.
Please note however, you are only permitted to do this once in each 12 month period, therefore you would be better de-authorising your computers before you lose access to them. you can do this from the 'Store' menu in iTunes.
