Authorising computers has got nothing to do with connecting devices - it is authorising the computer for your iTunes account, which you may or may not then connect an iOS device to. And no, there is no way to centrally check which computers are authorised for your account, it can only be individually for each computer in iTunes.

Even though this was an old post it helped me out. When issues came up with authorized accounts being maxed at 5 you process did reduce the number and allowed me to add the new iPad. Not sure where the info came in earlier responses suggesting that updating OS created a new authorization. Perhaps that problem has been solved. Thanks again for the clear response.

iOS devices such as iPads and iPhones do not count toward the five authorizations. That's just computers.

Do what this person said. If a computer you used in the past doesn't show up

No computers show up anywhere, authorized or not authorized.


Note that this is different than computers/devices authorized for redownloading of previously purchased content as shown in iTunes store > Account > iTunes in the cloud > Manage devices (which is unrelated to this thread).
