in itunes, if you tell it to deauthorize all computers it shouldn't (someone else please warn if not the case) delete anything from anywhere. What will happen is next time you are on a machine and try to play a purchased song/movie it will need to authorize that machine again. Ipad might count as a machine in its own right, or else it would just be the itunes library it is synced with. so if you do it away, you would be authorizing either 1 or 2 of your 5.
