In Apple Music (iTunes) I need to deauthorize a computer no longer belonging to me that I no longer have access to. I cannot 'deauthorize all' because I have already done that once this year and it won't let me do it again until January next year. (How crazy is that?) Apple Music tells me I have 2 computers authorised but there seems to be no way of finding out their identities. So how can I deauthorize the computer that I no longer have access to? This seems like a ridiculous situation and I can't understand why Apple make this so difficult.

You've authorized two computers since the reset in January and you've already forgotten which two they were? See Authorization vs. association - Apple Community. You only need to deauthorize one of your old computers if you've used all five authorizations and wanted to add another. In future make a list and remember to deauthorize a computer when you no longer need to access protected media from it.

Many thanks for your swift reply and yes - I will make a note in future! As most things Apple are very intuitive and easy compared to MS Windows I just didn't realise this kind of thing would be such a pain. I rarely use iTunes (Music) nowadays anyway so it has been a bit of a wake up call for when I sell my Mac Pro shortly.
