how do i authorize a computer? where would i find that info?

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:

  • HT1918 I have two ITunes gift cards, and I want to know which one I am currently using.  Where would I find that information, and how would I access it?

    I was given two ITunes gift cards for Christmas, and I entered the information for one of them to buy songs on ITunes.  My balance is getting low, and I want to know which card is the one that is being used and the one that is new.  Could you please help me by letting me know how to find that information, and also, instructions on how to get to that place.  I am VERY computer illiterate.  Thanks in advance. 

    Hi..
    It's not possible to view the code that was used to redeem an iTuness gift card but you can view your balance.
    From the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Sign In
    Select iTunes Store from the source list on the left.
    Your balance should be available just above QUICK LINKS right side of the iTunes window.
    "You can also check your Apple Gift Card balance by visiting Your Account or by calling1-888-320-3301."

  • How do I authorize my computer? I can not find the "Authorize This Computer" option anywhere.

    PLEASE READ ALL EMAIL. ANYONE THAT CAN HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. As you read through the emails, you will see that "C" the customer service person responds the same way. All the emails are from the same thread.  I would reply to his email, he would, I guess, copy and paste an answer, and the response is the same. He never pays attention to the previous emails. HELP PLEASE!!!
    This is very frustrating to me. If you read back through your emails, you state the SAME INFO 4 times. If you would read my email AND see thescreen shots attached you would see. Why do you continuously state the same info..(SEE RED HIGHLIGHTS BELOW).I NEED HELP ASAP TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF...Do you have any other info EXCEPT for what is listed below??????
    IT DOES NOT GIVE THE OPTION TO AUTHORIZE COMPUTER!
    I HAVE NOT CHANGED ACCOUNT NAME

    I TRIED EVERYTHING AT http://support. apple.com/kb/TS1389, 3 TIMES NOW. (ATHORIZING PURCHASES, HAVE THE CORRECT NAME, REMOVING THE SC INFO FOLDER).
    I NEED HELP! IS THERE A PHONE # I CAN CALL??? CAN THIS BE FORWARDED TO YOUR SUPERVISOR SINCE YOU ARE UNABLE TO HELP?

    Dear
    Thank you for replying. It's C from iTunes Customer Support.
    Addressing your concern is really important for me. I will do my best to answer your question.
    S, if your computer is not currently authorized to play your account's purchases, when you try to play an iTunes Store purchase, the authorization dialog will appear. You will see the name of the account that purchased the item. If you've changed your account name, replace the old account name with the new name, then enter your password and click Authorize. This authorizes your computer to play the account's purchases.
    If you are repeatedly asked to authorize your computer to play your purchases, you may find this article helpful:

    I do not get an error, I do not even get the authorization dialog. I have sent 2 screen shots, they are attached.
    When I try to play an iTunes store purchase, a bubble pops up and states that this computer is not authorized. It does not pop up account name or password. I have also completed everything stated in the http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389  link.
    This is very frustrating.

    How do I authorize my computer to download music? I went to the support page which told me to simply "click authorize computer" on the store menu, but unfortunately that doesn't exist   The support page is wrong, so how would I really authorize my 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.
