Q: How can I deauthorize specific MacBookPro(s) and PC Laptop(s) that have been taken by thief(s)?

How can I deauthorize specific MacBookPro(s) and PC Laptop(s) that have been taken by thief(s)?

 

I do not see a option in iTunes to reauthorize a specific MacBookPro(s) and PC Laptop(s).

 

It has a option to reauthorize all but, when I click on it it gives the following message:

 

Cannot Deauthorize

 

You may only deauthorize all computers once per year. You must wait until February 24, 2016 before you may deauthorize all your computers again. If you are having problems deauthorizing computers, please contact Apple Customer Support by visiting http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/

 

I suspect this may be a security risk in iTunes, Apple/iTunes not allowing customers to deauthorize systems that have been stolen by thiefs.

MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011), iOS 9.2
