How do I Authorize my iPad with the preinstalled iTunes app?

I found the directions on how to authorize my iPad.  The problem is that the preinstalled iTunes app does not have a "store" menu to select "authorize this computer".  Can anyone help?

Thanks for the reply.  I rented an hd movie from itunes and downloaded it to an external wifi drive that designed to work with iPads so I can play the movie.  It says I need to authorize the iPad before it will play the movie.  It's a goflex wifi drive.  I can see the movie file on my iPad when it's connected to the drive but it does not play.  There are other videos on the drive with the same file format and they play fine (but theyre not rentals or purchased).  I did sync the iPad and my pc but nothing worked.  Ended up loading the movie right on my iPad, exactly what I did not want to do.  Thoughts are welcome.

  • How do you authorize your computer with the new itunes version?

    Just got a MacBook Pro. I have songs that were previously purchased on my iphone that I could not download because it said my computer was not authorized. Looked at my authorizations and it said 3 computers were authorized but not this one. I deauthorized all of them and now I do not know how to authorize this computer. All of the support is outdated because itunes has a new version and there are no menus for store or advanced settings.

    Open iTunes...  
    If you're using iTunes 11 click on the box icon in the top-left corner to see the " Show Menu Bar " 
    and from the Menu Bar select Store...
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.
    (In earlier versions of iTunes, access this option from the Advanced menu).
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.

  • How do I sync my iPad with a new iTunes library without erasing all the previously purchased apps & data on my iPad?

    I'm sure this is a common issue, and I've google-searched for solutions but I cannot find a straight forward answer anywhere. I really hope an expert here can help me out.
    I purchased an iPad last year and synced it with my iTunes library on my old PC laptop. Well, my PC laptop harddrive crashed last week and I cannot access anything on my laptop anymore. I did not make a back-up for my PC harddrive either. I know, next time I should make a back-up and I will. But that's irrelevant. The PC is gone now.
    I replaced my PC this week with a brand new Mac Book Pro. Excited about my new purchase, I quickly hooked up my iPad with the hopes of easily transferring and accessing my iPages, iNumbers, and other productivity iPad apps seamlessly to my new beautiful Mac Book Pro. But now I've run into the nightmarish dilemma of not being able to sync my beloved Ipad with my new MAC without getting the warning that basically says "your iPad is already synced with another iTunes Library. You may only sync to one iTunes Library at a time. You will lose all your data if you sync to this new computer."
    Can someone give me a straightfoward answer as to how I can sync my iPad with my new iTunes Library on my new Mac Book Pro without losing any of the apps that I previously purchased? I want to be able to access the apps I downloaded on my iPad on my Mac Book Pro.
    Thanks so much!!!!!!

    While it isn't as easy to just use a Mac iDevice as media storage as Android and Windows, you can add documents and such like Word, PDF and others manually in iTunes to have them sync as well.

    I have problem when transferring book (PDF/Epub) from Computer to iPad with the new iTune? Please Help....

    With iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via control-S on a PC, option-command-S on a Mac. If you are trying to get it to the iBooks app then with the sidebar enabled the process should be similar to how it was on previous versions of iTunes e.g. add it to your iTunes library via File > Add To Library, connect the iPad and select it on the left-hand sidebar, and then use the Books tab on the right-hand side to select and sync it to the iBooks app.

  • How do you manually manage podcasts with the new iTunes?

    Like the subject line says: How do you manually manage podcasts with the new iTunes?
    With the previous version of iTunes, when I plugged in my iPod, I could select the iPod, select podcasts, and manually delete episodes. With the new iTunes, I can't select individual episodes when looking at my iPod through iTunes. Is my only option to Sync? If so, why is that my only option?
    This question probably has a simple answer, and I'm just not seeing it.

    Rock,
    I think I figured out a way to do what you want to do - which is the same way that I use Itunes with my Ipod. (My Itunes libary was destroyed last year so I can no longer auto synch my Ipod as I would lose thousands of songs).
    Funnily enough, I discovered this new way of manually moving podcasts while trying to figure out what cpragman was trying to say (I never could - he must be smarter than me, as I couldn't get his method to work).
    1. Open up your Itunes in your regular Library view. Choose Pocasts from the left hand side (either in the sidebar if you have that enabled, or from the little "radio" icon if you don't.)
    2. Mouse to the podcast you want to place on your Ipod.
    3. Right-click it.  A long menu will pop up.
    4. Move to the "Add to Playlist" option.  As you hover, all your playlists will be visible. But at the very top will be the name of your Ipod itself (whatever you named it originally).  Choose THAT name, and voila! That podcast will now copy to your Ipod and be easily available when you disconnect.
    A nice feature of this method is that you can shift-click several podcasts at once and do the same thing, and all your selected podcasts will copy over (if you're like me and update your Ipod only every few weeks).
    Hope this helps - let me know if it works for you!

    My laptop died so I've installed itunes onto another PC and my music is all on an external hardive which is connected to the new PC. How can I sync my ipod with the new itunes and get all the music onto itunes?

    You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
    iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year.  It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you.  Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices.  See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

    How do I manually transfer music with the new itunes update for Windows?  I don't want to sync my library and lose all of my music for what I have in my current library.

    The same way it was done in every previous version.
    Connect the device to the computer.
    Right click on the device in iTunes and select Transfer Purchases.
    Why would you lose any content by syncing with iTunes?
    Is this not the computer that the device is normally synced with?

  • How do you print a playlist with the new itunes?

    How do you print a playlist with the new itunes????

    You can click on the little triangle that's next to the little box at the top left of the new iTunes. It will give you a drop down box which gives you several selections. One of the selections is "Show Menu Bar". Click on that and you get the bar back that was on the previous version. Then in "file" you can print a CD jewel case list just like before!

  • HT4061 How can i find my ipad with the serial number

    How can I find my iPad with serial number

    I had FindMyPhone installed and activated on MY Lost iPad (now with a new "owner") and it NEVER worked EVER!
    There is/was no such thing as FindMyiPad...ONLY FindMyPhone. It WAS installed (I dont own an iPhone) AND activated! I suspect that unless you have 4G device it is worthless. Actually I  know this for a fact!
    AND, I knew that the new "Owner" had gone online (despite FindMyPhone telling me otherwise and NEVER locking my iPad) because Dropbox on my laptop suddenly had new photos that were taken by the new "owner".
    I am now of the mind that Apple does not want us to find our lost or stolen gadgets. They make money off  us when we replace them. Do what I am going to do: BUY USED!
    So sorry, I feel your pain.
