    There is no such list. You can do this:

     

    Deauthorization

     

    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.

     

      1. Open iTunes on a computer

      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."

      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.

      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".

      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.

     

    You may only do this once per year.

     

    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.

     

    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

     

    For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.

    Go to the Account Information screen in iTunes - Click your name at the top of the iTunes window, and then Account Info.

     

    On your Account Information screen, there is a link for Manage Devices under iTunes in the Cloud.  This shows a list of computer and devices currently associated with your Apple ID.
