HT1727 How do I deauthorize a dead computer

How Do I deathorize a dead computer and transfer my old itunes library to a used computer.

There is no need to deauthorize unless you've reached the 5 computer max.  If you have reached that max, deauthorze all computers and then authorize the one's you actually have.
As for moving the library, use the backup of the computer to move all the content to the new computer.

  • HT1329 I have a dead computer with itunes on it.  How do I deauthorize a dead computer?

    How do you deauthorize a dead computer for itunes?  We only get 5 computers, and I need a new computer to be authorized for itunes.

    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:

  • HT1420 How do I deauthorize a dead computer

    As I said, how do I deauthorize a dead computer?

    Expanding on what Niel said, 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 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 that system now, 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.
    Regards.

    How do i deauthorize a dead computer after using the "deauthorize all" button withing 12 months?

    Ask the iTunes Store staff to do it. What you can do on your own is limited to reduce the possibility of abusing the remote deauthorization functionality.

  • HT1420 My hard drive died. My IT guy reloaded stuff.  However I needed to authorize this drive to get itunes to work.  How do I deauthorize a dead drive?????

    My hard drive died. My IT guy reloaded stuff.  However I needed to authorize this drive to get it to work.  How do I deauthorize a dead drive????? It says I now have 5 authorized devices - but this computer is now counted twice - first old dead hard drive and now this new hard drive.  Thanks!

    Deauthorize your computer twice, and then authorize it. If that doesn't work, use the Deauthorize All function.

    You need to contact support directly for activation/deactivation and other installation issues. It’s usually possible to start a live chat, if an Adobe agent is free, and often to get the problem fixed right away.

    Do you have to be logged in to the itunes account on the computer you want to deauthorize?   Probably a dumb question, but not sure.
    Yes, iTunes will prompt you for your iTunes account name and password when you attempt to de-authorise, regardless of whether you are already signed in.

  • How do I deauthorize my old computer and authorize my new one?

    How do I deauthorize my old computer and authorize a new one?

    If the computer's running Mac OS X, move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store, and choose Authorize this Computer.
    If the computer's running Windows, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.
    Deauthorization is done the same way, except for choosing Deauthorize this Computer.

  • HT1206 how can I deauthorize a dead machine or one I cannot access?

    The computer literally failed before I could deuath anything.  I apparently have 1 more authorization left. 
    I had authorized a work machine a few years back, but IT took it and scrubbed it or junked it. 
    Why don't users see a list and just select from there?

    There is no list, nor is there a need or a way to deauthorize the dead computer, until you reach the limit of 5.
    At that point you can deauthorize all, then authotrize the active computers.

  • TS2529 how to deauthorize a dead computer

    My primary computer that I synced my iphone to completely died.  I got a new computer and now when I try to set up everything on that computer I get an error message saying that I need to deauthorize one computer to add this one.  Since the old one is completely dead, how do I deauthorize it?

    Use the Deauthorize All command documented in this article.

  • HT1727 How do I deauthorize a computer whne the hard drive has crashed and is not recoverable ?

    How do I deauthorize a computer when the hard drived has crashed and is not  recoverable ?

    You cannot directly 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. If you really want to deauthorize that system now, you can go into your iTunes Store account and there will be a "deauthorize all" button. You can then re-authorize the computers you're using.
    Note that you can only use the "deauthorize all" option once per year, unless something's changed very recently.

  • How do I deauthorize an old computer I no longer use?

    Hello,
    I still have one of 5 left, but how can I deauthorize a PC that died and now I don't use anymore? This has happened twice, and I've got two PCs that I use (laptop and PC) so I'd like to find a way to remove the two that I can't use anymore to free up a couple extra.
    thanks,
    Chris

    You can't deauthorise a 'dead' installation or computer on it's own. However once you reach the limit of 5 authorisations you have the option to deauthorise them all in one go from your iTunes account and start over. Just note that you can only use this option once a year: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

  • HT204385 How do I deauthorize a dead PC?

    I loaded iTunes on my new PC, but I need to deauthorize it from my old dead one before I can authorize iTunes on my new computer. However, the old dead computer was the only one authorized. How do I deauthorize it in this case, please?

    But I don't have or can't find an option to authorize the new computer. I sign into iTunes, and go here:
    I choose Account from the dropdown menu under my name here and I'm looking at the information at the top of the page here;
    Here is what I get under "Computer Authorizations:"
    Where can I access a place where I can click "Authorize this computer"?
    Thanks!
