HT1420 my computer was stolen. can I deauthorize that computer remotely?
My MBP was stolen. Can I deauthorize that computer from using my itunes account? I don't want to "deauthorize all" because I have multiple devices in different places. Also, my understanding is that I can only do that once per year. Is there a way to just deauthorize that one computer and leave the rest of my devices alone?

Computer was Stolen- Can i get my purchases downloaded on my new computer?
My computer was stolen and i had a bout 2 years worth of music that i bought. I go into my "purchase history" and see all of these songs, is there any way to re download them onto my new computer?
If you had no backups and everything was on the computer I'm afraid the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on any of the links on this page you'll find a space at the bottom to email your query: iTMS Customer Service

all of my music, both purchased through itunes and burned cd's are all on my ipod. i have a new computer as my other one was stolen. is there any way i can get all of my music and playlists from my ipod onto my new computer?
Yes it happened to me.
Go to www.ehow and ask 'How to move music from your ipod to itunes'
The process is a bit tedious but it works and beats having to reinstall from cds etc. -

How can i deauthorize a computer that once was authorized then I had to reinstall (windows 7) like 3 times and reload itunes reach time to get this authorization crap. I only have 3 computers actually authorized. This one is the 4th. This is ridicules.
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.
For instructions, see the following document:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
(Best to deauthorise a computer before you reinstall the OS on it.) -
I want to recover keynotes I bought on iTunes (my old computer was stolen). Can I do this without paying for it again?
As long as you sign in to apple store with same id used for the original purchase and authorised your computer you will find that when you download the app it will be shown as free.
your account has a full history of your purchases so no problem as long as it was purchased from apple store
see
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
and
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
(You can Authorise up to 5 computers at a time) -

I thought my mail was backed up in my .me account but when my computer was stolen and I went to restore my email in my new one, all I had were emails in the inbox. Is there any way I can retrieve the saved file directory? I did not back up the mail because that was being done by the .me account (I thought)
If her data was not backed up or synced to something, it's gone. Sorry.

Hey there, I have an iPhone 3g that was synced to my computer. My computer got stolen with all my music on it. I have a new computer but I can't sync my computer to my iPhone. How can I recover everything that's on my iPhone 3g to my computer?
If your backup copy of your computer was not stolen, then use it to put everything back.
Otherwise, authorize your computer for your itunes account, connect iphone, do not sync, Click: File>Transfer Purchases
This will transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to the computer.
Enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the new computer. When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data. -
Can I use iTunes Match without a computer? I only have an iphone at the moment with stored music. My computer was stolen.
iTunes match will only work from a computer in terms of uploading new content. You should be able to copy iTunes purchases back via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). For content from other sources there are some third-party programs listed half-way down this page which might help you get your content back from your phone : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

HT1420 can i deauthorize a computer once it's no longer in my possession?
can i deauthorize a computer once it's no longer in my possession?
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.
