Authorizing My New iMac.

My older powermac g4 I no longer possess, it was given away. However, the iTunes app was authorized 5 times on the older powermac G4 due to upgrades. Since I cannot deauthorize that which I no longer have, I am prevented from authorizing my new iMac. Is there a way to solve this problem? Please advise.

Authorize or deauthorize your computer for iTunes

To deauthorize a computer that you don't have access to, you have to deauthorize all of your computers. Then authorize each computer that you have again. You can deauthorize all computers only once a year.

  1. Open the Apple Music app or Apple TV app.
  2. Choose Account > Account Settings.
  3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password. Forgot your Apple ID?
  4. At the top of your Account Information page, go to the Apple ID Summary section.
  5. Next to Computer Authorizations, click Deauthorize All.
  6. Authorize each computer that you use again.
