    Hey skeats00,

     

    I think I understand your question, and you want to deauthorize any computers you are not using for iTunes purchases anymore, correct? If that is the case, here is an article for you that will help you accomplish this goal:

    Deauthorize all computers

    If you need to deauthorize your computer but you can't access it, you need to deauthorize all computers. This option is available after you authorize 2 computers using your Apple ID. You can deauthorize all computers once per year.

    You should deauthorize all computers if:

    • Your computer doesn't work anymore.
    • You sold or gave away a computer and didn't deauthorize it first.

    To deauthorize all computers:

    Click to open iTunes and sign in to your Account Information, or use the steps below:

    1. Open iTunes.
    2. Click Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
    3. Click your name and select Account Info from the menu.
    4. Enter your password again.

    On the Account Information screen:

    1. Scroll to the Apple ID Summary section. To the right of Computer Authorizations, click Deauthorize All.

      The Deauthorize All button appears only if you have more than 2 authorized computers. If you don't see the Deauthorize All button, that means that you only have one authorized computer.

    When you deauthorize all, you don't lose content

    When you deauthorize a single computer, you don't lose content. The same applies to if you choose to deauthorize all computers. You just won't be able to access the content that you bought from iTunes on those computers until you reauthorize them. You need to have the computer to reauthorize it.
