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.

TS2972 How can I deauthorise a computer I have not got anymore

How can I deauthorise a computer I haven't got any more
I am trying to get home share on a new laptop with iTunes Match but it says I have 5 computers already
But when I looked at the devices it says I only have 3
That is Mac mini ,ipad2,iPhone 4s
I also just got a Apple TV but that hasn't come up on the list
I think I didn't deauthorise the old laptop that I gave away but it has been reformatted since they had It.
Sorry this is so long and complicated hope someone can tell me how I can get my new laptop with windows 8 on to home share in iTunes

Authorization applies ONLY to computers.
Ipods/iphones/ipads/Apple TVs are not authorized at all.
If you have reached the limit of 5 computers, then you can deauthorize all, then authorize the active computers.

Can't authorize another computer with the same account ?

Hello,
I have 2 computers, one older than the other.
- on the older, I have the old version of ADE w/ lots of ebooks on it. I had it authorized (created an account etc...).
- on the new one, I have recently downloaded the new version of ADE, without authorizing it at first.
I wanted to transfer my ebboks from the older computer to the new one. It appeared I couldn't because the books were unauthorized or something like that. So I tried to get the authorization for the new computer, and the new version of ADE. The message when I try to fill in my usual ID/Password is "You can authorize this computer only if you do not use an ID that has already been comitted to an another computer or mobile device. Please Try again" (excuse me if its not exactly what you know : I'm french, and I tried to translate the message).
I have been reading the Q&A on the subject, and none of the questions mention this type of message. I am actually trying to get rid of one of my two computer. Of course I need to authorize w/ the same account. It can't be that you are bound by one computer or device ...
I do not use any device now : my old one is broken, so I read on my comptuer.
Please, can someone give me advice ?
May be I can get my old ebooks by another method ?
Thank you so much for your help

Almost certainly you have hit an incorrect error message from ADE. Usually ADE gives meaningless error messages, but just to keep the user on his/her toes it sometimes likes to give meaningful but incorrect error messages.
Try deauthorizing your new ADE using ctrl-shift-D (cmd-shift-D if on a Mac).
Restart and then try again to enter your usual ID/Password.

Thank you

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

HT1727 How do I authorize another computer?

I am asked by i-tunes store to authorize the computer I am using, which is my laptop, not my PC tower. I have purchased music and it has downloaded but I cannot get it on my PC laptop because "you must authorize this computer". I have 2 computers, the PC desktop which I have used for years with I-tunes, and now I have a laptop, too, and do not know how to "authorize this computer". Thanks. I have an I-Pad, I-phone, and am rapidly becoming an Apple addict, but still don't have the Mac.

The following document might be of some assistance:
