Which computers are authorized?

I've 4 computers authorized in iTunes. Beats me what two of them are. How can I find out which computers iTunes sees as authorized without deauthorizing everything and starting over? Tks.

You can't find out what they are.
All you can do is as you suggest, de-authorise all and then reauthorise the 2 you know of.

Log into iTunes from your desktop. (Sign in upper right corner of iTunes page.)

You cannot.
Some people wish there was a way to print out a list of authorized computers that would look like "Suzy's laptop, Dad's Macbook, and the desktop we threw away last year." But there is no way to do so.
It is especially confusing, since a single machine may be using up multiple authorizations. Also, authorizations may be used up by machines that do not even exist any more.
If you are at the limit, you can use the Deauthorize All command, and then reauthorize just the ones you need.

TS2972 how can i identify which computers are authorized for i tunes

How can I identify which computers are authorized for use with I tunes?

Hi there,
You can't see a list of your authorised computers, but you can see how many are authorised and deauthorise them individually or together.
I've found you a relevent support article which explains all of this:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
Hope this helps,

HT1420 How to view which computers are authorized in iTunes store?

How do I check the iTunes store to see which of my computers are authorized? I have just sold one of my computers and forgot to deauthorize it. Actually, I am not sure it was even authorized. Before I contact the buyer and ask if they will meet so I can deauth, how can I check the iTunes store to confirm that it is or is not authorized?

You can't yourself; you can only check the number of authorized computers and deduct the number of machines you know are authorized.

How do I see which computers are authorized?

I am trying to find out why ITunes says that I have 3 computers listed when we only have 2 computers but I can't seem to see which individual computers are part of my account? Any thoughts? Thanks.

In order to see which devices are authorized on your account:
Open iTunes
Click Store
Click Account
Click View Account
Enter your password
Look in the second section iTunes in the Cloud
To the far right you'll see Manage Devices
Once it's clicked you will see all of the devices currently authorized in iTunes/on your account
I was going to say, "Hope this helps," but based on the above, I'm pretty sure it did!
Thanks guys...

HT1420 how do I find out which computers are authorized on my Apple ID?

I have seemed to have lost track of the computers that are authorized on my Apple ID. In iTunes I can find how many computers are authorized on my ID but no list of computer names.

There is no list available from your end.

Which computers are authorized with Apple ID?

Hello All,
I look at my account (Apple ID) and see that says two computers are authorized with this particular Apple ID. However I have only one laptop (Macbook) so how come I see two? Is Apple TV also recognized as a computer?
Cheers,
Krysia

If you look at your account page in itunes store you can deauthorise all computers associated with your itunes account. Then re authorise your computer using the menu item Store, Authorise this computer. Your Apple TV should be recognised as a Manage Device.

HT1420 Which Computers are Authorized

I've got 5 computers authorized and I don't know which they are. Can I view a list of the authorized computers? I can't tell if I want to delete them because I don't know which they are.

You can easily discover if a computer is authorised or not by trying to play protected content from the iTunes account on that computer, if the computer is authorised for that account, it will play the content, otherwise it will ask for authorisation.

HT1420 how do I know which computers are authorized

Looking for help on how to know how many computers have my Itunes account as the program says I am maxed out.

About 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.
Open iTunes on a computer
From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
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.
Also, see iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.

HT1420 I have a macbook that failed from water damage. How do I deauthorize this computer from itunes? Is there a way to see which computers are authorized?

I have tried to use the deauthorize all and I have already done this once this year, so I have to wat until September.
Maccbook will not power on, so there is no way I can deauthorize using that computer.

You would have to contact itunes support and ask if they will allow anther deauthorize all.

HT1420 Is there a way to see what computers are authorized before I deauthorize all 5 computers?

Is there a way to see which computers are authorized before I deauthorize them all?

Not without manually checking each one you suspect might be.

HT4557 I rented a movie on iTunes from my pc, does not show up on my macbook air. Home sharing is on, both computers are authorized. Can't figure it out

movie i rented on itunes, downloaded on my pc does not show up on my mac book air. home sharing is turned on, and both computers are authorized. Help!

Nevermind - I answered my own question, which is I CAN"T READ ANY BOOKS I purchased in iBooks on my MacBook Pro. If I want to read on my mac I have to use Kindle or Nook. Which means any book I've already purchased through iBooks has to be read on my iPad. Kind of a drag because there are times when it's more convenient for me to read while I'm sitting with my Mac.

I purchased a song on my iMac on iTunes and it plays on that but won't play on my macbook even though both computers are authorized under the same iTunes account. how do I fix this?

Hi stuartbonk,
Welcome to the Support Communities! Here are some steps you can try if you keep getting asked to authorize your MacBook for iTunes:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203160
If you authorize your computer to play your iTunes Store purchases, but you can't play them and iTunes keeps prompting you to authorize, try these suggestions.
Authorize your purchases from an administrator account
To authorize your purchases from an administrator account, follow these steps:
Log in to the administrator account.
Note: If you don't have access to an administrator password, you'll need to contact the administrator of this computer. If this is a work computer, this may be your IT department.
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed. You can download the latest version free.
Choose Store > Authorize Computer.
Enter your iTunes account name and password.
Note: If you have multiple accounts, you'll need to log in to the iTunes Store and authorize each account separately.
Quit iTunes.
After you've authorized your computer on your administrator account, you'll need to log out and log back in to the user account you'd like to play your purchases from. Once you're logged back in, simply open iTunes, select an iTunes Store purchase in your library, and click Play. The item should begin to play.Authorize using the correct account name
The items you're trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you'll need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.Remove the SC Info folderIf you're still unable to authorize your computer to play your purchases, you may be able to resolve your issue by removing the "SC Info" folder. To do so, follow these steps:
OS X
Quit iTunes and any other open applications until only Finder is open.
Choose Go > Go to Folder.
Type /Users/Shared/SC Info and click Go.
If Finder is not already set to column view, set it by choosing View > as Columns.
Select the SC Info folder and move it to the Trash by choosing File > Move to Trash.
Restart the computer and open iTunes.
Authorize your computer to play your purchases. Note: If you have multiple accounts you'll need to authorize your computer for each account. For more information on how to authorize your computer, see this article.
