How do I authorize a computer to download iTunes files?

I bought this new Macbook ( my previous one has been stolen ), but I can't download my purchased items from iTune store. There's a message that says I need to authorize this computer to do so. How do I do it?

Move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store, and choose Authorize this Computer.

    how can I authorize this computer to download already purchased songs. my computer has windows vista on it

    Sign into the iTunes store with the ID you used to purchase the music in Store>Sign In, then go to Store Authorize This Computer and sign in with the ID.  Note: when you do this, your computer is then associated with this ID and you will not be able to download previous purchases, enable automatic downloads or sign into an iTunes Match account using a different ID for a period of 90 days.

  • HT201272 How do I authorize my computer to download previous purchases?

    I have downloaded a few songs on another computer that is not my own. Now these songs appear on the iTunes music list on my own computer and I ould like to listen to them, but in order to do that I must download them again. However, when I try to download them, iTunes does not allow the process to begin. A window saying "Your computer is not authorized. You must authorize this computer before you can download previous purchases." So my question as stated above it how do I authorize my computer to do that??!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    To authorize your Mac, first press Alt and S keys, so the menu bar will show up (if you are running iTunes 11). Then, go to the Store menu (on the menu bar) > Authorize this Computer

    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.

  • How do I authorize my computer to download all my songs that I've already purchased on iTunes???

    Whenever I try to sync my phone with iTunes, it says some of my songs couldn't be transferred into my iTunes library because I haven't authorized my computer... Then it gives me the steps to do so:
    "To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose store > Authorize this computer."
    But whenever I go to the iTunes store, there's no option to authorize my computer! This has been going on for days and all I want to do it to have all my music on my computer!! Ugh. Please help!!

    If the computer's running Mac OS X, move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store, and choose Authorize this Computer.
    If the computer's running Windows, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

  • How to update using Windows computer to download update files

    Hi
    I have a macbook I use at home, with OSX 10.4.7. Due to lack of a fast internet connection, I cannot update the macbook. At office, I have a faster connection, but on a windows computer. How do I download the files that are required for Macbook particularyly? I see files only on the macbook software update window, but on visiting the website, I see only a list of common updates, with nothing specifically for Macbook.
    Please help.
    Rajat

    <http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/> has all the updates. You don't need one specifically for the MacBook. To go from 10.4.7 to 10.4.9 use
    <http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1049comboupdateintel.html>
    If you see more than one version of a download, you should choose the Client, Intel version, for a MacBook.
