Wanted: iTunes savvy reader
I won’t go over my computer troubles again, except to say that I’m having trouble with iTunes.
I think I can probably figure out why it’s quoting me prices in Japanese Yen as opposed to American Dollars. No, my real difficulty is this:
I’m currently at the maximum number of machines allowed to play my tunes. I’d like to disallow my old hard drive, the one that died, from playing tunes, since I’ll never use it again except to try to keep pulling data off of it. However, when I log on to attempt to disallow a machine, it seems to want to disallow my current machine, meaning my brand new shiny hard drive in my beautiful desklamp Mac.
Has anyone tried to disallow a computer other than they one they’re on from using iTunes? I’m at the max number, as I say, so if something goes wrong with this computer then I’m kind of screwed.
I have no helpful advice on the disallowing, but the iTunes store also showed up in Japanese for today. How very peculiar.

According to their help menu…
Tip: If you forgot to deauthorize a computer you no longer own, you can deauthorize all of your authorized computers at once. Choose Store > View My Account. You can use this method once a year.
So it sounds to me like in order to get around your situation, you’ll have to deauthorize all your computers, then reauthorize the ones you want to keep.
Beyond that, I’d say contact customer service and tell them the issue.
