manage devices

I am trying to authorize a new computer and iTunes says I have 5 authorizations already. I deauthorized the old laptop already and no change in status. Only 2 approved for purchases. How can see what computers are connected to my account?

Using iOS 11.4 and Music app.

thanks

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

limit of authorized devices I got a new laptop, not able to "authorize" for iTunes, indicated I had 5 devices. I deauthorized one desktop computer device 7 days ago. Today, still indicating I have 5. I tried to "manage my devices "and only 3 show up anyway. Why can't I get my new laptop authorized? Windows 11. Thanks.

Itunes authorizations I don't have access to the 5 computers that I authorized for iTunes in the past (never knew about this limit). How can I get my new computer authorized without being able to deauthorize the old ones?

How can you tell which computers are authorized in iTunes? my account says I have 5 computers authorized (maximum allowed) but when I look at authorized devices it shows 2 computers and the rest are phones or iPads How can you tell which computers are authorized for iTunes? Apple only allows 5 computers to be authorized but when I look at the authorized devices in my account it only shows 2 computers and the other devices are iphones, ipad and itouch. At the activation query it only allows you to select to deactivate all computers rather than just certain ones. I am sure I have some old computers that were never deactivated but if I deactivate all of them then I worry I will not be able to activate the current computers.

O-bend,

There is not a way to get a list of what computers are being counted in the authorizations. If you are at the limit, you can "deauthorize all" and then re-authorize just the ones you are still using.
