how to reset authorized computers

How do I reset the 5 authorised computers to 0
I have moved towns, and had to authorise the computers just to add songs.

I cant remember from which machines, it is a needle in a hay stack!!

Is there not a reset button?

You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. Otherwise you can "deauthorize all" from your iTunes account.


  1. Open iTunes
  2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
  3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
  4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "Deauthorize All".
  5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.


You may only do this once per year.


After you "deauthorize all" your authorized computers, authorize each one as required.
