Deauthorization

How do I see what computers are authorized? If I deauthorize all how will I authorize one I am not physically with?

iMac, macOS 10.13

There is no available list of authorized computers, you can keep your own. You can only authorize computers that you have physical access to. They don't need to be authorized if you're not using them.


See Authorization vs. association - Apple Community for further information.

So I can deauthorize all and then go back and authorize the ones I want with no loss on the one I am using now?


Yes, although if you are an Apple Music subscriber it might be best to switch to a new empty library while you deauthorize and reauthorize to make sure any locally downloaded Apple Music content is unaffected.


Do I need to authorize my iPhone and iPad too?


No. Authorization only applies to computers. A computer must be authorized when transferring protected media to a device.
