Dana, No, you can still authorize or deauthorize computers individually. Open iTunes on the computer you want to deauthorize, go to the Advanced Menu, and then Deauthorize Audible Account. It will ask for your iTunes account handle and password, and you will be all set. And no, even if you deauthorize all computers from your iTunes account, and start from scratch, no purchase will be lost, ever -- unless you delete all your HDDs or something. Even then, it is possible that you could download again your purchases. > I am sure that some of the stations being tagged are previous older > Macs that did not get de-authorized. I had to deauthorize all my computers once for similar reasons. Rest assured that nothing will happen to your media. The process here would be similar, but in reverse: go to your account, deauthorize all computers, and then authorize one by one using the Advanced menu option in iTunes.
