You can deauthorise all your devices and then authorise again only those you have.


See Deauthorise a computer in Authorise or deauthorise your computer for iTunes Store purchases


  1. On a Mac, open the Music app, Apple TV app or Apple Books app. On a PC, open iTunes for Windows.
  2. From the menu bar at the top of your computer screen, choose Account > Authorisations > Deauthorise This Computer.
  3. Sign in with your Apple ID.
  4. Choose Deauthorise.


If you run out of authorisations, deauthorise all

If one of your 5 authorisations is on a computer that you don't use anymore, deauthorise it. If you sold or gave away a computer that's used one of your 5 authorisations, you need to choose Deauthorise All on the Account Information page. Then authorise each computer that you still use.
