    Use the Deauthorize All function described in the article you asked this question from, or if that's not an option, the link to contact the iTunes Store staff.

  • HT1420 how do I de- authorise a computer that no longer works or exists??

    I am having problems with my iphone, it has been suggested that I sync it with itunes- i hate doing this and use icloud because my desk top computers are in moist enviroments and die after about 18mth to 2years- now the home sharing cant work on this desktop as the 3 dead computers in the past 4 years no longer exist and I have no idea how to remove them from home sharing when they are spare parts for other computers? help if you can ... PLEASE. Di

    I'm not sure if this affects Home Sharing or not, but if you have systems that are authorised with an account that no longer exist then you can go to iTunes > iTunes Store > Your account and in there is a way to deauthorise computers from the account side.
    Be aware that you can only deauthorise all your systems once ever 6 month (It think it's 6 months).
    EDIT : From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
    "In order to enable Home Sharing, Automatic Downloads, or downloading of past purchases, your computer must be authorized for use with your Apple ID."
    … so deauthorising your computer will remove them from Home Sharing as well.

  • HT1420 how do i re authorise my computer for I tunes as I have now deauthorised them all

    I have just deauthorised all my computers for I tunes and now wish to reauthorise my laptop whicjh has just had a new hard drive installed and I am unable to do so despite reading instructions from Apple.

    You should be able to do it via the Store menu at the top of iTunes (if are on iTunes 11 on a PC then try pressing Alt-S and the Store menu should appear) e.g

  • HT1349 How do I de authorise a computer that died unexpectedly.

    How do I de authorise a computer that died unexpectedly?

    You actually have to use the computer itself in order to deauthorize that computer - if that is the only computer that you want to deauthorize - or you can deauthorize all computers - and then authorize them all over again. Read this for more info.

    I had an iMac die on me about two years ago and was not able to deauthorize it for the reason explained above. I did not want to deauthorize and then authorize my other 3 computers, so I plan on not worrying about it until I reach the 5 computer limit. That is my advice to you as well - if you have not yet reached the limit - don't worry about it.

  • HT1420 How can I deauthorize an old computer that I have no access to?

    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 I am told to "Authorise my Computer" Click on "Store" ??? Then click on "Authorise Computer" But I cannot find "Store"??

    I am told to "Authorise my Computer" because certain things cannot be synced? So they say simply??? Click on "Store" then "Authorise this Computer"  Doooohh!!! So can someone please tell me where I find "Store" then where I find "Authorise this Computer" I was planning to move over from MicroCRAP to Apple as I believed they were a little brighter and more User Friendly BUT it seems that Apple are just as good at hiding simple things, Giving Ambiguous or misleading instructions and Making things that should be simple as Confusing as Possible??  Can someone PLEASE explain where I find "Store" then "Authorise my Computer" Because try as I may I cannot find it!!

    If you have a Windows system and are using iTunes 11, press Control-B to show the menus. Then the "authorize" command will be under the Store menu.
    Regards.

  • HT1420 i need to de-authorise a computer for itunes but the computer is no longer working and the other computers which have be authorised have also been thrown away. How can I manage this problem?

    i have previously had computers authorised for itunes but all have been thrown away or are now so broken that they do not even turn on! Please can someone tell me how I can de-authourise them and authorise at least 1 new computer? I have lost alot of music etc from CD's but I'd at least like to be able to get back what I bought from itunes.
    Many thanks for your help.

    Follow the instructions in the article from which the question was posted to Deauthorize ALL computer then authorize the one's that you actually have/use.

  • 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 u de-authorise a computer u no longer have access to? if u have already used de-activate all in the last 12 months?

    really once every 12 months is a bit silly, it should be unlimited..

    Hello tct2125,
    In order to deauthorize a machine that you don't have access to (once you've reached the limit), you'll need to deauthorize all computers associated with your account.
    To deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID
    If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
    Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
    If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
    Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
    In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
