How To: Manage Devices In iTunes

Please note this feature is not available in all countries at the time of publication.

iTunes now allows users to de-authorise individual devices associated with your Apple ID.

You will notice I currently have 4 devices associated and should I select Manage Devices on the right hand side I will be presented with the following information:

You will notice that now users are able to manually remove a single device. In the past users have been restricted to de-authorising all devices in order to add new devices. For example, if I sold my Mac I would need to de-authorise all devices from the account ID before I could add a new Mac if I ran out of available authorisations.

This new way allows users after 90 days of authorising a device to then remove the associated device from their account.
