You cannot look up which computers are authorized. You can only see associated devices. See: Authorization vs. association - Apple Community
If you can't authorize a new computer, "Deauthorize All" and then authorize any computers that you still want to use. Note that this only applies to computers, not iPhones/iPads. See the instructions below from Authorize or deauthorize your computer for iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support
If your new computer is a Mac:
To deauthorize a computer that you don't have access to, you have to deauthorize all of your computers. Then authorize each computer that you have again. You can deauthorize all computers only once a year.
- Open the Apple Music app or Apple TV app.
- Choose Account > Account Settings.
- Sign in with your Apple ID and password. Forgot your Apple ID?
- At the top of your Account Information page, go to the Apple ID Summary section.
- Next to Computer Authorizations, click Deauthorize All.
- Authorize each computer that you use again.
If your new computer is a Windows PC:
