Okay, I'm convinced that deauthorizing an old device from your iTunes account is a good idea. I found an article called How to Deauthorize an iPhone on iTunes after a Google search and it is at this link:
http://everydaylife.globalpost.com/deauthorize-iphone-itunes-21360.html I'll paste the main steps to deauthorize a device using iTunes after my signature but let me caution that accessibility from the section in iTunes where this is done was not great on my system. I'm using the ZoomText screen reader and while it did read me the remove buttons next to my 3 devices listed, it did not read me the device descriptions and dates. I would not have been able to safely remove anything if I didn't still have some usable vision. That's just a caveat for those considering doing this. Thanks to Charles and others on this thread who consistently expressed their opinions. Alan Lemly Here's what I copied from the website link above: How to Deauthorize an iPhone on iTunes When upgrading iPhones, users often trade in or sell their existing model to help offset the cost of the new device. You should always deauthorize your old phone in iTunes before getting rid of it to ensure no one else can access your purchases, personal data or iTunes account. You should also deauthorize your iPhone if it is lost or stolen. Step 1 Open iTunes on your Mac or Windows PC. Step 2 Click the "Store" menu and select "View Account." Step 3 Enter your Apple ID and password and then press "Enter." Step 4 Scroll down to the section labeled "iTunes in the Cloud." Step 5 Click "Manage Devices." Step 6 Click "Remove" next to the device you want to deauthorize. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Charles Rivard Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2015 8:13 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Question about adding a new iPhone to iTunes I figure that, to eliminate confusion and clutter, if you sell your phone, why not remove it from your iTunes account? As an example, I have two iPhones named identically. I could tell which is which by the date beside each. --- Be positive!

I'm not sure devices show up in iTunes unless they are physically connected to the computer or maybe connected via wifi. My new iPhone 6 shows up as Alan's iPhone which is how my old iPhone 5 also showed up. Since the 5 has been sold and won't be connected to iTunes again, I'm not sure removing the device is required. Maybe one of our more iTunes proficient experts can weigh in here.

I may do that if I sell my iPhone 5. --- Be positive!

ITunes uses the same label to refer to both phones and now my Alan's iPhone refers to my iPhone 6 where before it referred to my 5. Since I was using iTunes to restore one of my 5's backups to my new phone, I did not want to remove any devices. Everything seems to be working just fine in iTunes. Enjoy your new phone.

You are in the right place. Below, I paste what my exploration shows. I hope this gives an idea of the layout that you're apparently not able to see with your setup: Remove iPhone (Charles_Rivard's_verizon_ iPhone) Associated January 15, 2013 Remove iPhone (Charles_Rivard's_verizon_ iPhone) Associated February 10, 2015 Remove Windows PC (D4FY50L1) Associated September 9, 2014 Done The first was my iPhone 5, the second is my iPhone6, and the third is my laptop computer. So, I'm figuring that if you're seeing two remove buttons, the first is your current iPhone and the second is your computer. When you get your phone next week, that phone will become the top remove button once authorized. --- Be positive!

I went to My Account in the iTunes store and went to manage Devices. In iTunes 12.1.1, I see two buttons both of which say remove. Is one supposed to be an add button and the other a remove button. Is this a problem with the latest iTunes, or am I not in the right place to do this. Using JAWS 16. Thanks much. Neal -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
