You can deauthorize all computers then reauthorize the one(s) you still have.
Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
More On 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.

  • HT1420 I do not have the computers that were Authorized.  How do I authorize my current computers to run iTunes?

    I do not have the computers that were Authorized.  How do I authorize my current computers to run iTunes?

    Go back to the article you asked this question from, use the Deauthorize All function or the link to contact the iTunes Store staff, and then authorize computers as needed.

  • HT3406 What can I do if I do not have the sim card an I am trying to use my old iPhone 3gs as an iPod?

    I have an iPhone 3GS and want to use it as an iPod it worked fine until I did an update, now it will not register. What do I do if I do not have the sim card?

    Get a sim card. Borrow one from a friend. Ask the wireless
    carrier the iPhone is locked to for a sim - it does not have
    to be an active sim.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • HT4972 i have the oldest ipad and i am trying to download ios7 from ios4 how can i do this? i can not loose all pictures and apps! please help me! thanks a bunch!

    i am trying to update ios4 to ios7 i cant loose my pics and my apps! help me! thanks a bunch1

    If you have an iPad 1 then you cannot upgrade to iOS7, you can only go to iOS 5.1.1
    to update, connect your iPad to the computer you normally sync with. Update iTUnes. Do a full back up of your device onto that computer. Then download and install the update. Once the update is done the computer will restore your iPad from the backup that you just made and you should lose nothing.

  • I bought $30 worth of iTunes gift cards on my iPod. But it asked me to answer my security questions. note DOES NOT HAVE OPTION TO USE RESCUE EMAIL UNDERNEATH. I had this account on my previous iPod but didn't have this problem

    In the security questions area it is supposed to say below CANT REMEMBER ANSWERS? and has a blue link to email you. I DONT have that option,
    Please help, thanks

    It is likely asking because it is a new/different device.

  • I have an older Power Mac and it does not have the ability/hardware to connect to my wireless network.It is on 2nd floor which has no ethernet connections available. How can I get connected wirelessly?

    I have an older Power Mac desktop computer. I do not believe it has the hardware to connect wirelessly to my wireless network. The computer is located on the 2nd floor of my house where there are no ethernet network connections so I would have to use wireless to connect to the internet. I have a wireless LinkSys router downstairs that I use to create my wireless network. I also have a Time Capsule upstairs but without the ability to plug an ethernet network cable into it, I cannot use it to get internet access t the computer.
    What hardware can I add to give me the abiity to connect the Power Mac to my wireless network?
    Is there a way perhaps to link routers? IE. Can I somehow have my existing wireless router downstairs connect wirelessly with the Time Capsule upstairs that i could then plug the Power Mac into for connectivity?
    Not sure what version of OS this computer is currently using but do know it does not have the newer dual Intel processors. As such I am unable to update to newer OS versions.

    While uselessSABOTAGE's advice is great, in case of future issues, it would helps us in the future if you would post accurate tech specs of your model iMac.
    You info states you have an older IMac PowerMac, but is also says your OS X version is OS X 10.7.2.
    This is not possible. OS X 10.7.2 Lion only runs on Intel CPU Macs.
    Please, go up to the Apple symbol in the upper top left of OS X main menu bar. Click the symbol. Then click About this Mac. A popup window appears that gives some basic info. Then, click the More Info button and both post your iMacs complete specs by selecting/highlighting all of the info and copy paste this into a reply to this post, editing out your iMac's serial number. Then update the info you posted in your user profile with some of this new found data for future postings.

  • HT4623 trying to download ios 6 software update to my iphone 4s. While it is downloading it suddenly pauses and knocks me out of my wi-fi network. I then can't access the network in order to continue the download.

    I have a iphone 4s.
    I was trying to download ios 6 software update.
    Put in a wifi network and plugged in before starting download.
    Soon after I hit download it paused and said to choose wifi network before continuing.
    It had knocked out my wifi connection.
    When I turn the wifi back on and ask it to choose a network it can't find it anymore.
    Meanwhile I can't get it to continue to download the ios 6 update.

    Instead of trying to update OTA connect your phone to your computer with USB abd have the latest itunes open and do it that way. If it says you are not connected click cancel and see if the download continues.  iOS 6.1.3 is now the latest so that is what you will be updating to

  • I'm trying to download itunes onto an external harddrive, but it keeps defaulting to my computers drive which does not have the room. How do I sort this please?

    I'm trying to download itunes onto an external harddrive (named as D) which has loads of space, but it keeps defaulting to my computers (C) drive which does not have the required space. How do I sort this please?
    I've tried selecting the D drive but, it still defaults to my computers drive and wont let me change it.
    Heeeeellllllllpppppp!

    I think you've misunderstood.
    iTunes ONLY works on the C drive.  There is no moving it.  End of discussion.
    The MEDIA can be house on any other drive (internal or external).
    Install iTunes correctly using the default options.
    Once it is installed and working correctly with everything on the C drive, close iTunes.
    Follow the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1364 to move the iTunes media folder.

  • Due to NAS issues, when I started a new time machine backup it did not have the old backups available. My question is do I need to delete them or will time machine automatically reclaim the space?  Only one Sparse Bundle, same name.

    Due to NAS issues, when I started a new time machine backup it did not have the old backups available. My question is do I need to delete them or will time machine automatically reclaim the space?  There is only one sparse bundle but when I enter time machine I don't see my historic backups.  I use a synology DS212 for my time machine.  Started a new backup which is 218gb but it says 618 gb is occupied  therefore it looks like 2 or 3 backups are still on the disk. Before my NAS issues the last backup was in 2014.  As you can see there is a second sparse bundle from 2012.  Not sure what that is.

    This is an old message now, but what happened to me similarly was:
    I had a major computer crash and through complicated pathways ended up reinstalling (Mavericks) as a new user (long story).
    At least I had good Time Machine backups on an NAS drive (Synology DS212j), or so I thought - when I started Time Machine up again, the old backup file was gone, replaced by a new one using my "new computer" name. The old file was gone both by directly mounting the NAS drive and by clicking "Enter Time Machine".
    It's like I had {OldShareName}.sparsebundle and then it was replaced by {NewShareName}.sparsebundle, all of the old info vanished.
    (I have spent a week finding old files elsewhere and have completed a satisfactory self-restore. It pays to "archive" [my own variation of] as well as "back-up".)
    My belief is that if this were a wired-netword-drive, e.g. plugged right into my iMac with a USB cable, then the old file would have remained.
    But this is an NAS drive, connected directly to my Airport wireless router, and I don't know the significance of the fact that it stores its Time Machine backups as "sparsebundle" files rather than simply as plain(er) files.
    As usual when things get complicated with computers (not just Apple computers) there was never a warning message. Something like "YOU'RE ABOUT TO DELETE A TIME MACHINE BACK-UP FILE!!!" would have made my life a lot simpler.
    BTW, I did try a "restore from Time Machine" option the first thing I had my "new computer" (old hardware, 2009 iMac) up and running, using Migration Assistant, and it ran for many hours and then failed in the wee hours - what that has to do with anything I'm not sure.
    I'm not sure that I have a question about this other than "why do these things happen to me?", but it's a warning. Apart from that I've been very happy with the stability and reliability (but not the cost or set-up complexity) of NAS vs. directly-cabled external drives.

  • How can I find my liscense/serial number for my adobe software if I do not have the box anymore?

    I recently changed computers and I have my old adobe software on an external harddrive where I just copied everything over from my old computer. I want to install Adobe products that I have from my old computer on to my new computer. I do not have the box anymore of the serial numbers concerning the product. Is there a way I can do this?

  • When trying to download or sync podcasts, I get an error code "you do not have the privilege to make changes". Please help!

    When trying to download or sync podcasts, I get an error code "you do not have the privilege to make changes". Please help! I tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling, but that did not work. Also, I rebooted and that didn't work, either.

    I tried to use an external hard drive from my windows computer that was formatted in NTFS Windows format.  Mac Pro sees that hard drive as "read only".  Itunes works on existing media on the hard drive to play music or movies, but when you try to purchase from itunes store and download you get the above message.  You need to move your library to a library that is formatted in exFAT format (which can be used both by "windows" and mac computers.
