For example, if you sell or give away a computer, deauthorize it first by going to Account on the Apple Music or iTunes menu bar and then to Authorizations. Choose Deauthorize This Computer from the slide-out menu. <h2> How to Deauthorize Computers You No Longer Have </h2> If you no longer have access to a computer that you previously authorized with your Apple ID (because it doesn't work or you sold it, for example), and it takes up one of the five authorization slots that you now need, deauthorize all computers under that Apple ID.
