How do I see the 5 computers that are authorized to see my aTV content? I want to deauthorize old computers but the only options I've found is to deauthorize all.

I have a new mac. I want to watch my aTV+ content on the new Mac but its not authorized. So I attempt to authorize it and get a message saying that 5 computers have allready been authorized. Two options more input which provides not usable help on OK that closes the dialog.


Account settings out of aTV gives not help.


Account settings out of Music provides an option to deauthorize all. I do not want to do that, I want to see the computer names and select which ones to deauthorize. Absolutely no clues anywhere in this workflow as to how/where to do that simple operation.

Mac mini, macOS 10.13

There is not a list of names where you can choose which one you want to deauthorize. Your only options are to deauthorize a computer that you have access to or deauthorize all computer. To deauthorize a single computer it has to be done from that computer, otherwise you will need to choose deauthorize all. This will happen when you get rid of a computer and do not deauthorize or factory reset it first. All you need to do is deauthorize all, and then when each computer wants access to your Music or Apple TV, then it will prompt you to authorize it. There is no limit on iPad/iPhones and you will not need to authorize those devices.
