If you are trying to authorize a new computer for your Apple ID (iTunes) and having trouble due to 5 authorized computers then you can follow these steps to deauthorize all those computers. This may be not new to you but I didn't know about this.
- Open iTunes, sign in to the iTunes store.
- After signing in, view your account through -> Store -> View My Account. ( You may need to enter your password again. )
- In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
- Done!
Now, you're ready to authorize your new computer.
