Cannot authorize

Hello,


I currently have three devices authorized to my Apple ID, but when I try to authorize a new computer that I just bought, it says that I can't authorize more than five devices and to deauthorize a device first. I'm not sure how to fix this. Thoughts?


Thanks!

Try deauthorizing all devices/computers and then authorize the ones you currently use.


For older Mac OS versions, deauthorize in iTunes.


iTunes – Authorize/Deauthorize computer


iTunes - View and remove your associated devices
