See Authorization vs. association - Apple Community. Perhaps you've been removing associations not authorizations.

Authorise Computer So I can't authorise my computer as it says I already have 5 computers authorised. I checked my Account and there are only 3 items authorised. 1 computer, 1 phone and 1 ipad. So I deactivated the ipad. The computer on there is the computer I'm trying to allow access, but it's apparently already authorised. So I deactivated it and am trying to reactivate it, but iTunes is still saying can't have more than 5 computers. Well now there is only 1 phone, that's it. I've tried restarting iTunes, restarting my computer, running iTunes in administrator mode, but it keeps saying I can't authorise this computer because I already have 5 authorised. Where do I go from there? Any help apprecated.

I can't authorize another Apple device on my computer but I only have 2 I'm trying to update the OS on my iPad through my computer as I don't have enough storage on the device. But when I try to authorize my computer, I keep getting a message that I can't authorize more than 5 devices. I only have two authorized. How do I find the 3 that seem to be hidden?
