Q: I really wish I did not have to deauthorize all my devices - I am disappointed that Apple does not allow me to see the computers that I have authorized and allow me to deauthorize them individually
I purchased a new computer and want to authorize iTunes. Only to discover that you can only authorize 5 computers at one time (Which is disappointing to say the least in the first place - Why the limit. Also, now I learn that in order to de-authorize a computer I no longer have, I have to de-authorize all my devices...my iPad, my iPhone, my MacMini, etc. one of my devices is actually being used by my parents in their cabin, and if I deactivate that one ... it means a 4 hour drive just to reauthorize it again...not very efficient if you ask me. Is there a way to authorize MORE THAN THE arbitrary 5, and if not, then is there a way to de-authorize an individual computer from the account - and if not, how many days will it take to apple to figure out a way to do it?
