Checking which are authorized computers with ITunes

How do I remove the old computers on the authorized list without the old computer?

Is there a place I can list of the computers I have authorized so I can remove them?

My MacBookPro went into sevice a few days ago and I got it back yesterday and noticed that i asked for authorization for iTunes & now I have 4 computer when I should have 2. I both computers I have have been serviced by Apple & logic board replaced so I assume the reason for the 4 computers that have been authorized.

iTunes-OTHER, iOS 5.1.1

iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420 - and another helpful post: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3798085?answerId=17828050022#17828050022

About deauthorizing specific computers - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3809988 - Only, if you have physical access to the computer, otherwise you have to deauthorize all computers. De-authorize all computers button does not appear until you actually have 5 authorized and you can only do this once a year.

iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 - "Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days." - Additionally instructions for "Removing an associated device or computer from an Apple ID"

I don't see "Manage Devices" from https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 in iTunes Store. I'm running iTunes 10.6.3 and only see the "Deauthorized all" button
