I need help deauthorizing all computers
I have already tried to find the answer to this question in the FAQs, but the option to deauthorize all computers once I sign in on iTunes didn't show up. I do have 5 computers authorized at this point though because it says "5 out of 5 computers successfully authorized." I have the 15 inch MacBook Pro with retina display.
Open up your Account Information (if you're using iTunes 12, click on your name in the menu bar just right of center, pull down to account info).
In the first section of the box that opens up it shows "computer authorizations." It will show how many, as well. To the right is a click box that reads "Reauthorize All." If you really want to do that, click it. That SHOULD take care it.
If that doesn't work, chat with support online. They can even log onto your computer and do it for you, if necessary. Good luck!

Need help deauthorizing computers in my account!
I just got my MacBook Pro yesterday and I went to put my music into my itunes library, but this computer wasn't authorized. I tried to deauthorize all the computers, but couldn't because I had already done so with my last computer after it crashed. Any suggestions?
Hi FFFLAK,

In addition here is the part of the article that's relevant to your specific needs -
*To deauthorize all computers associated with your account*
If you find you have reached 5 authorizations, you can reset your authorization count by clicking Deauthorize All in the Account Information screen.
(1) Click iTunes Store in the menu on the left side of iTunes.
(2) If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
(3) Click the Account button again (your ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
(4) In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than 5 authorized computers, or if you have used this option within the last 12 months. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact the iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww/). -
Need Help "Deauthorizing" Computers From my Account
Just got a new logic board installed on my 3+ year old machine and it's not letting me sync my iPhones. It says I'm only allowed to authorize 5 computers to my account. It asks me to "deauthorize" some of the older ones in order for my current machine to be "authorized." Anyone know how to find the list of machines I've used over the past 10 years so I can attempt "deauthorization?"
Thanks !Hi FFFLAK,

Only one song won't play after authorizing my computer. I authorized it over and over. I even deauthorized all computers, and still same results. How can I fix this ? I'm using a MacBook Pro with iTunes 11
Hi Deb,
Deauthorizing all is definitely the way to go. You will just need to authorize your computer again after, as well as your husband's.
Here's some additional information on deauthorizing all:

I hope this helps!

Status of Itunes library after deauthorizing all computers
When I deauthorize all my computers, does my itunes library remain intact, even music received from cd's and 3rd party. Will I be able to authorize my computer to play the same library as before.
Please adviseYes. Deauthorizing all computers simply clears the link between all computers and a particular iTunes sign-on ID. Once you re-authorize any computer you want associated with that iTunes ID again, then that ID will be able to download and play songs purchased by that ID in the iTunes library on the computer that has been authorized to it.
The only thing you need to remember is that a "Deauthorize All" function can only be done for a particular Apple/iTunes ID once a year.
Cheers,

I have authorized one computer out of available 5 (in show in my itune , but Im not remember ) I canot nync my new iphone 6 .pls I need to deauthorized all, to setup my iphone.thank you so munch.
chaminda.What is the exact message, and when do you see it? You don't need to deauthorize anything to register an iPhone.
You can deauthorize all computers by going to your Account settings in iTunes and clicking "deauthorize all". But that won't solve your problem, because your problem has nothing to do with the number of computers authorized. -
My computer was stolen so I deauthorized all computers that had iTunes on them on 10/28/2011. I have a new computer and it was authorized for iTunes. When I checked my account it says I have 2 authorized computers, but this new computer should be the only one. How can I deauthorize whatever the other computer is? I don't want whoever stole my old computer to be able to use my iTunes account.
Get all that music back in itunes and sync again.

My old computer crashed andI bought a new one. When I went to Itunes I deauthorized all computers and then authorized my new one but I can not get my prevous purchases and I can not add my new purchases to my IPods with out it deleting all the music. How can I transfer everything that was on the old computer to this new one?
Whether you can redownload previous purchases depends upon the type of item (audiobooks and ringtones are one-time only downloads), what country that you are in (music, films, TV shows can't be redownloaded in all countries), and whether the item is still in your country's store (content providers occasionally remove their items) - what you can redownload will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage
Or you should be able to copy purchases back from your iPod via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option (if the drop-down menus aren't showing then control-B should get them to show).
If you have music from other sources on your iPod (e.g. copied from CDs) then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Or do you have a copy of them anywhere else e.g. on your backup of your downloads/library that you can copy them onto your new computer from ? -

My Macbook pro won't sync with my iPad. It says it isn't authorised. I have gone as far as deauthorizing all computers then authorizing the Macbook & still no luck. Any ideas?
Sorry, not sure how to screenshot on my computer, but this is what is says word for word:-
The Ipad could not b synced because the computer is not longer authorised for purchased items that are on this ipad.
To authorise this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose Store>Authorise this computer.
I have done all of that but not luck. That's when I tried deauthorising all computer which it did ok. I then authorised my Macbook pro again, it said I had one computer now authorised. I tried to delete apps via Itunes then sync to my iPad, but the above message keeps popping up & it wont do what I want. -
