HT201065 how can i de-authorize devices which no longer work or have been disposed of?

how to de-quthorize a device which does not work

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.
For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.

  • How can I de-authorize computers that no longer work that I can't access

    I have a total of 3 machines authorized to play iTunes songs a Mac and 2 PC's but I want to de-authorize both PC's but they don't work anymore how can de-authorize them?

    You can't deauthorise a 'dead' installation or a computer you no longer have access to 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

  • How can I report a phone which no longer works?

    I have a Converse 1200 which for some time now has been extremely temperamental. It decides whether to let us make or receive a call, we don't!
    I have looked on here and on the BT site for a way to report it (it is being charged to our account) and I just want to cancel it and return the phone, as I have acquired a different phone which does work.
    The BT report a fault page only seems to deal with line faults, and this is not a problem as the new phone and another work perfectly.
    Please can someone advise.
    Many thanks

    Just call 150 and ask to have it removed from rental

  • How can i check the devices which are connected with my AirPort Express?

    I saw an unknown device in the app 'Who Uses My Wifi?', how can i check it through AirPort Utility and can i remove this device by the app?

    Open AirPort Utility
    Hold down the option key on your Mac while you double click the picture of the AirPort router
    Currently connected wireless ciients will be displayed
    Don't forget about the wireless printer you might have, baby monitor, wireless thermostat and other items that connect using wireless. They will appear on your check.....not just computers or iPhones, etc.
    If you have 3 wireless devices, and you see 4 devices connected, you may have an unwanted guest.
    If you are using good wireless security, like WPA2 Personal, and a good password, it is extremely unlikely that another device will be on your network

  • HT1329 How do you deauthorize ipods that no longer work or have been stolen. What does it mean that you only have 5 devices that can download your itunes library. How do you deactivte old serial numbers and add new ones as of now we only have one ipod

    Over the years we have owned many i-pods. Most of them ran out of juice or were just outdated some even stolen. As of right now I have one i-pod that should be authorized to download music from my library. I plan to get a new one. My question is how do you deactivate all the old i-pods so that i-tunes doesnt think I have all these pods downloading from my personal lbrary of music. If I get a new one and plug it in it will say you are authorized 1 or 2  or whatever it is at this point to download music from this libtary. How to I get rid of all the old devices (serial numbers) that don't draw from my i-tunes library anymore?

    Ipods/iphones/ipads/apple tvs are not authorized at all.
    Authorization applies ONLY to computers.

  • How can I deactivate a device from Sync, which is not available already?

    How can I deactivate a device from Sync, which is not available already? It would be good to have a list of my synced devices.

    '''To deactivate synced devices:'''
    1. Open the Sync options window.
    2. Click on Deactivate This Device. A prompt will appear.
    3. Click Reset All Information to confirm. Your device's data will no longer be synced with the server's Sync data and you'll be logged out of your Sync account.

  • How can i unauthorized a computer which  i no longer own

    The computer has to be in your possession, or you can go to the Store and deauthorize ALL devices, and then authorize each you still have access to.

  • How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes?

    How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes? I wanted my teenager's AppleID to be different from mine so that she couldn't charge stuff to my AppleID, therefore I created me another one. Now when I go to Sync either device, it tells me that this IOS device can only be synced with one AppleID. Then I get a message to erase it, not going to do that, lol. If I logout as one ID and login as the other, will it still retain all synced information on the PC from the first IOS device? If I can just log in out of the AppleID, then I have no problem doing that as long as the synced apps, music, etc stays there for both. I am not trying to copy from one to the other, just want to make sure I have a backup for the UhOh times. If logging in and out on the same PC of multiple AppleIDs is acceptible then I need to be able to authorize the PC for both devices. Thanks for the help. I am new to the iOS world.

    "Method Three
    Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
    This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
    I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks

  • How can i restore my iphone which was erased by iCloud?? I got my phone back but it wont work when i connect to iTunes.

    How can i restore my iphone which was erased by iCloud?? I got my phone back but it wont work when i connect to iTunes.

    The following assumes you've been backing up to icloud all along.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
    Let us know if this method does not work.

  • I have a windows pc.  How can I download purchased items which have become corrupted on my PC.  I can't use iCloud

    I have a windows pc.  How can I download purchased items which have become corrupted on my PC.  I can't use iCloud without an Apple device.  I have gone into purchased but next to each title it merely says 'downloaded'.  I need to download them again.  It will cost a fortune to re-purchase the corrupted music!

    I tried that but it just shows 'downloaded'.  There is no little cloud next to that wording.  On an Itunes help page it shows a 'library icon' once you have logged in but that does not appear on my version of ITunes which is 11.1.  I have lost so many peices of music!  Is this some ploy by Apple to get you to buy them all over again??  Thanks for you response, if you can think of anything else I would be most grateful
