Thanks John and Chris! I did go into the MacGroup Archive today and saw where you and Chris had responded to this, not sure why those reposes didn't come through my email.
I've been using the same iTunes account since at least 2004 (probably longer) so everything should be in the one account, I guess that's a plus. Just wasn't sure if I would still be able to access iTunes from the older Macs once I've deactivated them all if I need to get back in later. Guess I'll cross my fingers and hope for the best… Thanks again! Beth, Here is what I sent previously, I searched through the sent messages and found it. John Beth, Not sure I know the right answer. The iPods don't count in the 5, you sync those with your main computer where you want to store all your data. You can sync a dozen iPods or iPhones & you will still have the 5 computers. How this will work when the older computers have a version of iTunes so outdated I can't answer. I have always started with de-authorizing everything & starting over, but you say there are none listed so it sounds like you might have more than one iTunes account. I started buying from iTunes long before Apple came out with iCloud. This has made for a continual mess as part of my purchases are under "aye.net<http://aye.net>", then there are many under iCloud. I've ask Apple many times to combine the files but they don't allow, I'm guessing it's because this would reduce the number of accounts they can advertise listed with them. They have tried to solve the problem with Family sharing but it's not perfect, especially with iBooks. Hopefully others will know about the likelihood of all the older versions of iTunes playing well with each other.
