I need to deauthorize devices. i do not have access to them or know what devices they are. Please help I only have two devices listed as authorized and I can't access my books for school. When I try to download and authorize access on my mac it tells me I need to deauthorize one of the five devices. I do not know which are the other three.

cannot find the deauthorize button, only says 1 computer authorized I try to authorize my new laptop on the music app, and it says I can't because there are already five computers authorized. The apple site says to go to the store in music and get settings. From there you should be able to de-authorize particular computers. But in the settings, it only lists one computer as authorized, and there's no "deauthorize all" button.

iTunes/Music authorizations: Next to "Computer Authorizations" I don't see the button to deauthorize all computers. I'm trying to get some old songs purchased in iTunes to play on my new Mac. When I try to authorize the computer I get an error that I have more than 5 computers authorized on the account. However, in the Account settings section under "Computer Authorizations" it says that only one computer is authorized. The instructions for resolving issues like this is to revoke all computer authorizations and then reauthorized each computer, however, I don't see the button to deauthorize all computers next to the "Computer Authorizations" section. Is there a way to get this button to appear?

Go into iBooks or another application which accesses the iTunes Store, click on the Store menu at the top of the screen, and choose Authorize This Computer.
