There should be an option to Deauthorize somewhere in the preferences. Unfortunately I believe how it works is you deauthorize *everything* and then re-authorize the devices you have one at a time.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I was just going to post this link which explains *how* to do what Jessica just said: [link]

Just keep in mind if you do that, you can't do it again for another year.
I got my work computer working by setting up a Guest access network on my airport. whatever - poke poke poke WORK!
Dammit. I downloaded iTunes to my work laptop, and it won't play any song because "the original file cannot be located". When I tell it to Locate the file, it opens a little window with no songs in it and the file name empty. I don't know what to do with that.
Seriously, if this evening is typical of how "easy" Apple stuff is to use, I'm sticking with PC.
Stupid question, Zen: your music is actually on the work laptop, right?
Dana, that may not be a stupid question. I had iTunes on this laptop before, and deleted it when my boss threw a fit. Since then I've found that everyone else ignored her and kept their iTunes. So I downloaded iTunes again, thinking the music - which is still there - would still be accessible to it. Apparently it is not, but I have no idea what to do about it.
If you deleted iTunes before, it may not have a library to load. Can you try importing your music back in? You won't have playlists and ratings and stuff.
Edit: Or if it's loading the library, maybe check and see what your default directory is, so you can tell it where to find the music.
The music is still there, at least some of it is, but it's not in the iTunes or the iPod folder anymore. Of course. So, it might be easier to import the music library than try moving the files around and then make them work.

I can do that by hooking up my iPod and letting it copy all the stuff over, right? That's what I did just now with the eeePC. And of course, iTunes thinks the iPod is synced with a computer I no longer have. Maybe I should Deactivate All first. (I never had playlists and rating anyway. I know, I'm not using the technology to its fullest capacity.)
Frick. Nothing's easy.

No, if the files are on your computer, you can tell iTunes "This folder is where my music is. Go look there." It's somewhere in the settings. (Note: That is not literally what iTunes says.)
