If you did not deauthorize before selling, you have to deauthorize all from your actual computer:
Remember to deauthorize your computer before you sell it, give it away, or get your computer serviced. Also, make sure you deauthorize your computer before you upgrade your RAM, hard disk or other system components, or reinstall Windows. If you do not deauthorize your computer before you upgrade these components, one computer may use multiple authorizations.

You can deauthorize all once you have reashed the limit of 5 authorized computers. Until then, there is no need to deauthorize it

TS2972 How do I deauthorize computers that I no longer have?

How do I deauthorize computers that I no longer have access to? It's been a long time since I first started using iTunes and didn't think to deauthorize a computer when we took it out of service, or it crashed and then we couldn't take it out of service if we wanted to. So, now that I have a new MacBook, I want to authorize it with my iTunes account and the only option to deuthorize a computer is "deauthorize all" - or deauthoize from the actual computer (which I no longer have due to it crashing, etc..)
So, part two of my question -- if I have to choose "deauthorize all" will it affect anything in my current libraries? I'm hoping I can just "deauthorize all" and then go to the specific computers I have now and reauthorize without losing any music, etc. Is that a correct assumption?
Thanks!

If you no longer have, or access to, the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
Log in to iTunes, go to "view your account info" on the itunes store, deauthorise all five, (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months) and then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time.

How do I deauthorize a computer that does not have access to the internet

How does one deauthorize a computer that cannot connect to the internet?

You can deauthorize all computers linked to your Apple ID from another computer with Internet access.
To deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID
If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.

How do I deauthorize a computer that no longer works?

I am trying to convert all of my music from my iPhone to my new Macbook, however it keeps telling me that my Apple ID is authorized to 5 computers already. But my Apple ID is technically only connected to one other computer that works, as the other four are past computers that we have sold or traded in or just plain don't work anymore. How do I deauthorize those so I can have my music on my new computer?

Taylor,
Go into your account and use the Deauthorize All button as shown. Then re-authorize just the computer(s) that you still want to use.

De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
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 deauthorise a computer I no longer have?

Hi
I've got several computers authorised to play music purchased from iTunes.
One of those computers died sometime ago unexpectedly and is beyond repair. Because I can't use that computer to open up iTunes and deauthorise, is there a way I can look at the list of computers already authorised and remove the damaged computer from the list?
I've used iTunes for a long time, and can't think of an answer. If anyone has a clue i'll -be very grateful!

is there a way I can look at the list of computers already authorised and remove the damaged computer from the list?
No.
When you get to 5 authorized, you can select Deauthorize all and then reauthorize what you currently have.
