Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
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.

Old adobe ID needed to authorise this computer so I can read all my books I have paid for

I need to recover my old adobe id in order to authorise this computer so I can open the books I have paid for. When I installed sony reader to this (my new) computer it wouldn't allow me to open any books I have paid for. Sony says this is to do with my adobe id so I tried a few weeks ago to sign in using my adobe id (1st time in 3 years). Now I couldn't remember my username but it said it was probably my email address but then it told me you didn't recognise my email address. I have not changed my email address in the past 6 years at all but I could have entered it as [email protected] or co.uk or I could have put in googlemail instead of gmail. I always enter it as [email protected] now. I signed up again but that doesn't help me with my books I have bought so I need you to help me find my old adobe id.
Thanks

Do you have your old computer still. If so, go to digital editions on it, and in the Library view do menu/Library/Authroize Computer.
That will tell you the email it was registered with.
There is a long-winded way (below) to find the internal AdobeID a book belongs to,
I don't know if having got that internal ID whether Adobe service are able to tell you what the external ID (email) assocated with the internal ID is.
I have made this comment before but nobody has responded whether it helped or not .....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OK. To find the internal AdobeID.
open a sample DRM .epub file as a .zip file.
With some zip programs, you can just open the .epub as an archive (ev, with 7zip),
with others you will have to rename the .epub file to a .zip file first, then open it.
find the file 'rights.xml' within the zip. Probably 'META-INF\rights.xml'
open the rights.xml file
inside you will find a section '<user>' that looks something like
<user>urn:uuid:ff2ddc22-eca0-46c6-a84d-xxxxxxxxxxxx</user>
That string is the internal version for your AdobeID.
That stays fixed for the AdobeID, even if you change the associated email (or password),
that internal ID is what is really associated with the book.
(n.b. there is no point in trying to change the urn to a current one you might find and recreating the .epub file; the DRM is cleverer than that).
You can now contact Adobe at Adobe Live Chat: http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html
It may be that if you can give them that internal ID they will be able to get you access to your account again.
If they say they can't, it might be worth trying two or three times at intervals;
it seems from what others have said that some of the representatives are very clued up, but others are not.
(I've never used the Live Chat).
If you do go through all that, let us know how you got on.

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:

I can't play some songs I recently downloaded because when I try to I get the message that I need to authorise my computer but when I try to do this it says I've already authorised this computer.

I downloaded 4 songs at the same time. The first and the last songs in the list play fine. If I try to play the second or third I get the message that I need to authorise this computer. I enter my id and password and it will say I've already authorised 2 out of my 5 computers (I don't know what other one I've authorised) then it will just start playing the last song out of those four.

Delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.

When I click the download apps,itunes ask me to authorise this computer and I finish do it, it ask me authorize again and again

when I click the download apps,itunes ask me to authorise this computer and I finish do it, it ask me authorize again and again

Delete the song from your Itunes music list, then redownload it, Itunes will ask you if you if you want to download it for free. This seems to be the fix for my problems.

Why when i want to sync my phone with the computer it wants to delete all my apps how do i not let this happen. this is a different computer to the 1 i always use. i have authorised this computer but still wants to delete my apps

why when i want to sync my phone with the computer it wants to delete all my apps how do i not let this happen. this is a different computer to the 1 i always use. i have authorised this computer but still wants to delete my apps

Why you can't redownload? Don't you have the Apple ID that used to download these apps?
You can "transfer purchaces" by right click on your iphone in iTunes but i guess you computer is not authorized and will ask you to authorize with Apple ID. Try it.

Itunes I cant find anything. I need to know how much credit i still have. I need to authorise this computer. None of the links work when I try to follow the online directions. Frustrating and bloody annoying.

WHAt the heck is wrong with the itunes website? It's the least user friendly site I've ever tried to use. Ive spent hours trying to find my credit balance and I get no result when I follow online directions, even though I know I have more than $70 in credit. I can't find the directions to authorise this computer. When
en I go to the Itune store there is no "authorise this computer button" despite tnhe fact that is what it tells me to do. I'm frustrated and angry at wasting so much time.
<Edited by Host>

Well, your credit balance should show up next to your name when you are in the iTunes Store (the actual Store as I showed in the screenshot above), but I have found that it doesn't always do that....
Do you have an iOS Device? If so, go iinto either the iTunes or Apps icon, make sure you are signed in, and then scroll to the bottom of the screen to see if it displays right beneath your sign-on name.
I don't know why it doesn't show up sometimes....it's weird.
The other thing you can try is to sign out of your iTunes account and then back in again to see if it shows up, or, you can click on your user ID in the iTunes Store, and then click on "Account" to view your account page:

HT1420 Where is this mythical menu that has "Authorise this computer".

Where is this mythical menu that has "Authorise this computer".

Finally found it!!!
It's hidden in a little greyed out symbol up in the top lefthand corner.
Couldn't make it any harder to find if they tried!
