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.

Using Windows 8 and can't authorize my computer to upload apps and play music on my new laptop. What do I need to do to fix problem.

Using Windows 8 and can't authorize my computer to upload apps and play music on my new laptop. There is no "authorize computer" in a drop down menu as suggested in iTune store or its support page. What do I need to do to fix problem?

MY personal thinks to Radez29. Yes, it is now authorized. BUT, I have an obvious question and an obvious statement.
Question......why, in my many emails to/from Apple support, was this simple solution not given to me?
Statement.......Apple should consider "terminating" the present employees and hiring Radez29. He obviously knows a LOT more than the Apple support team.
AGAIN, my sincere thanks to Radez29 for this solution.

New HD, "You can only authorize this computer with an Adobe ID that hasn't previously been used to a

We had ADE on a system whose hard drive was dying and becomming unusable. I replace the old hard drive with a new one and resinstalled everything. I was able to extract the My Digital Editions Folder from the original drive and copied it to the new drive. I then installed the latest ADE. When we attempt to authorize the new ADE install on the new harddrive we see the dreaded "You can only authorize this computer with an Adobe ID that hasn’t previously been used to authorize any other computer or mobile devices. Please try again."
How can we get back running on the new disk?
Thanks

You can only authorize this computer with an Adobe id that hasn't been previously used to authorize any other computer or mobile device

When I try to download a library book on my Kobo reader, I keep getting this message. First it tells me to change the computer's authorization to be associated with an Adobe ID. When I click on authorize after logging in, the message keeps telling my "you can only authorize this computer with an Adobe ID that hasn't been previously used to authorize any other computer or mobile device. I have no idea what this means. Help!

Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help, and indeed installation can even trigger this state.
Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
Another is "E_AUTH_NOT_READY"
This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.
In extreme cases on the mac, the following extra step has helped some people. Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash.

How can I authorize my computer to play songs that were initially downloaded under a different Apple ID (email address) on a different computer?

You need to either authorize it from that Apple ID or delete those songs and buy them from your current one.

HT1420 Can't authorize 4th computer

I have three computers and three phones and one iPad authorized to my acct. I am getting the message that I have reached my 5 computer limit even though only three are computers. How can I authorize another computer?

Easiest is to deauthorise all devices then reauthorise the ones you want (you can only do this once a year). It's likely that you have something else authorised that you've forgotten about.
Sign in to the iTunes Store, choose Store > View My Apple ID, and click Deauthorize All.

I've downloaded ADE 4.0.3, apparently successfully, and I 'Close the 'Completed' window. But, when I attend to run the program, I get an hourglass for about 2 seconds and then ... ... nothing! Clearly I can't authorize my computer for download. Ideas?

Try restarting your machine and Launch ADE again

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.

I can't authorize my computer! I just changed computers and I can't access my old purchases because I can't find where to authorize my new computer!! I can deauthorize the other computers, which I just did, but it can't find anything else

I can't find the "Authorize your computer" in the Itunes Store. I can't download my old purchases because it tells me I have to authorize the computer, but I can't find it anywhere!! I can enter my account and deauthorize the old computers, which I did, but nothing happens. I can't find the "Advanced" option anywhere either.

Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.
