My MBP is listed several times, as I have reinstalled the OS (Yosemite) several times in the last few months. This even shows after setting up my phone as new. Is there any way to delete the multiple listings for my MBP, or do they auto remove after a set length of time?
 
This is a known issue that occurs if you restore an iDevice before logging out of iCloud and iMessage. The only fix I've come across is changing your Apple ID password.

I changed my Apple ID password just now, and the MBP multiple listings are gone. Now, I just how to get the three devices to sync and send the authorization code to each other.

Thanks.
