Thanks Daniel, yes I do have access to the old machine for a short period to help with transitional issues like this, but when I went into my account in iTunes, my only option was to Deauthorise All computers. I dont think I have the choice to deauthorise just one computer. Did I misread?

Hi Peter You don't actually do it from your iTunes account as such. You open iTunes on the computer you're getting rid of, then go to the Store menu and choose Deauthorise this computer... It will ask for you AppleID which you enter. It will then remove that one from your list. You can then

Thanks for the replies Rob and Ronda. I feel much safer now. I usually use WPA2 for my wireless but a while ago I did some experiments with no password for a couple of days. I don't think I logged in during that time but maybe I'm mistaken. I changed all my passwords and I always use PayPal

I have avoided iPhoto iTunes up until now as I thought they were unnecessarily complicated. I hate the way iPhoto puts one camera download in multiple folders if the pics were not all taken on the same day. I previously used the Canon software but my camera is so old there is no OSX version.
