Q: How do I remove an account from home sharing?

I have recently purchased a new laptop (Macbook Pro 13" with Retina Display) and would like to start using this computer as my main laptop (now using iTunes on on the Mac and not my PC)

I would like to import some music from my sister via home sharing but I think that there are already 5 computer in the home sharing circle and the maximum is 5....

Her account is not appearing in my iTunes and this is the only valid reason that I can think of.

How do I remove an account/ computer so that my new Mac can be the 5th account in the home sharing?

I don't know how much sense this makes... please help!!!

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014)

Hi W-averley,

It sounds like the account has been authorized on the maximum of five computers. To authorize the account on a new computer, you’ll need to deauthorize it on a previous device. For more information on iTunes authorization, see the following resource:
