How Do I Deauthorize My iTunes Account on an Dead Computer,when I mean Dead it won't turn on anymore..Now how can I do it remotely from my MacBook Pro?

No can do.

You can de-authorize all computers and then reauthorize the living ones.

I don't think you can. If you are already at 5 authorizations, you can deactivate all of them, and only reactivate the ones you currently have.

Although I think you can only do that once every 12 months, right?

Call Apple, that is what I did and they deauthorized the computer for me.

Yes, unfortunately, not only can you only do it 1x/12 mos, but you need to have five computers authorized to do this, AFAIK? Here are the official instructions

So you can either contact Apple or just not worry about it (since once you have enough computers for it to matter, then you can follow the de-authorize all instructions).
