hi,
my itunes account is apparently authorized on 5 computers, however it should only be 2. doesn't really matter until now i have a new computer which i want to authorize my account for. However i am concerned that i deauthorize my account from the shared family computer that will deauthorize other family members as well, thereby taking one of their authorizing chances when they have to reauthorize, this may have been what happened to me, taking me up for 5 authorized machines.
any help would be hugely appreciated

Hi
Thankyou for contacting me regarding your iPod/iTunes issue.
As I understand from your mail, your iTunes account is done with the 5 authorizations that is being allowed. And now you have got a new computer, which you want to authorize, but you are unable to do so, as you have no more authorization chances left.
Now the option infront of you is to make use of the onetime/year deauthorization feature that is allowed to you in your account which will remove all the 5 authorizations and hence you can begin authorization. And doing this deauthorization will not affect any other iTunes account. So you need not worry about if it will take away the authorizations of other iTunes acount in your shared family computer.
Plese check the link below to follow the step by step instruction how to deauthorize all the five authorizations:

NOTE: You have one computer, but this one computer has 5 user accounts. Now if u authorize your account on the same computer on five differnt user accounts, it means you are done with the allowed 5 authorizations. It doesnt just mean that you have to use 5 different computers
