A question re: Deauthorization
When you "De-authorize" a computer, does it mean you are de-authorizing the host computer or the device that's plugged into it (via iTunes)?
Reason why I ask is that my young son has an iPad [mini] that is authorized on my wife's laptop through her own iTunes account. I have my own iTunes account on my iMac and my son recently received an iTunes gift card through my email address. I want to erase all the apps and info off his iPad from my wife's account, use the ones on mine, plus cash in the gift card.
So, if I understand the instructions; Do I plug in his iPad to my computer, open iTunes, then select "De-Authorize This Computer?" I just want to make sure that it's referring to the plugged in iPad—and NOT my desktop iMac. Or, do I De-authorize his iPad from my wife's laptop first, then authorize it from mine afterward?
Thanks!
