HT1420 I tried to authorize my new computer and can't find the link anywhere?

I tried to authorize my new computer and can't find the link anywhere? Also iTunes only recovered the songs I purchased from the iStore, what about the rest?

If the menu bar is not visible, hit CTRL+B then Store > Autorize this computer
iTunes Store keeps a purchase history for your Apple ID and allows ypou to redownload purchases. Any other media add to iTunes from outside the store (CDs, etc..) are not uploaded to iTunes unless you have purchased iTunes Match. Those items you will need to add from your backups.

  • What is the name of the Bookmarks file? I just bought a new computer and can't find the file to transfer from the old computer. I'm going from Windows XP to Windows 7

    I was running Firefox 4.1 on a 32 Bit Windows XP Computer. I just bought a 64 Bit Windows 7 computer and reinstalled Firefox. I backed up all of my XP programs and data to an external drive but I can't find a file for my previous Firefox Bookmarks. What is the filename and possible folder where I can find my old bookmarks and how do I import them into my new version?

    Bookmarks and history are stored together in your profile folder in a database file named places.sqlite. These articles should help with restoring as much or as little of your other profile as you like:

    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

  • I am trying to authorize my new computer to download music from the cloud.

    I previously purchased music using another computer which is no longer in my possesion.  I attempted to follow the direction given on the support page to deauthorize computers, but MY Account page does not have the option to deauthorize (no button!)  It only states that "This account allows one computer to be authorized to download".  Help!

    Hello, johnandsteph. 
    You are allowed a total of 5 computers at a time to be authorized to play content.  It is not necessary to deauthorize an old computer if you are attempting to add a new one unless you have reached your five total allotment.  From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer and enter your Apple ID and password.  At that point you should be able to access your previous purchases.  I have included two links listed below.  The first one goes over authorization and deauthorization.  The second article covers how to download past purchases.

  • Trying to 'authorize' my new computer and just can't do it.

    I want to 'authorize' my new PC, but am not able to as the 'Store' does not give me the option to 'authorize this computer.'  Help, please...thank you!

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

  • HT1420 i need to authorize my current computer and deauthorize one of the other five.  I cant get to the point of just doing one it says deauthorize all

    I need to deauthorize one of mu five computers but it does not allow me to select  only option is to deauthorize all

    You may only de-authorize a single computer from that computer. If you don't have access to the other authorized computers then you must deauthorize all of them.
