How do I authorize my laptop to play songs that i have saved in my library?

I recently downloaded itunes onto my pc. I signed in and all of my music and movies are there. i clicked on one of my songs and a popup says that i need authorization to play music. i clicked "ok" thinking it would lead me to somewhere to grant authorization but it just went back to my library. can someone tell me how to grant authorization?

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:

You need to either authorize it from that Apple ID or delete those songs and buy them from your current one.

How do I access and use a DNG file that I have saved?

I have saved a NEF file as a DNG file before making any edits in ACR. Because the ACR edits will be reflected in the NEF file when it is opened in Elements, I wanted to have a file that I could edit that did not reflect the ACR edits. I can find the DNG file using Windows Explorer, but I can't seem to open it or make use of it. Any help will be appreciated.

I have never used Camera Raw with Photoshop Elements. I haven't used Photoshop Elements since version 2. But I can tell you that in Photoshop and Bridge it is really quite simple. Using Bridge, simply right click on the raw image, and in the context menu there is an option enabling you to clear the settings. It is different from one version to the next, but it is there. I would think that there would be something similar in the Organizer. Otherwise, one surefire way to do it would be to simply open the folder that contains the raw images and delete the XMP files for the image(s).
I just read your message again. What do you mean when you say you are making a DNG file when you want absolute security? That doesn't make sense. Camera Raw never changes your raw image pixels. The original raw data is always there, always. The changes made in Camera Raw are stored as metadata and as such can always be deleted. The same is true with a DNG file, except that metadata is stored inside the DNG file itself. In Camera Raw under Elements there must be a method in the Organizer similar to what I described above.
Then you said you couldn't find a way to restore the original NEF image. Do you mean, literally, the NEF file itself? Or the look of the original file? Are you keeping the NEF files?
I think you are missing the point of using DNG files. Security in and of itself doesn't seem to me a justification for using DNG. You need to reconsider your workflow and what you are trying to accomplish. I'm a little unclear as to what you are trying to do.

If you're running iTunes 11 and you don't see the menus, press Control-B or go to the small icon with the arrow at the extreme upper left and select "Show Menu Bar":
Apple for some inexplicable reason elected to hide the menus by default in the Windows version of iTunes 11.
I doubt that this will address a download problem, though. You'll need to provide more details about that; what device you're attempting the download on, the exact error message, and other such pertinent information.
Regards.

Office for Mac, http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products, can open/edit/create Office documents.If your external drive is formatted NTFS then you can copy the Office documents to your computer and work on them. You won't be able to save the files back to your NTFS formatted drive. But you will be able to save the documents to your internal drive. You can move all the external files to your internal drive then format the external drive for Apple. Then you can copy the files back to your external drive for ongoing use.

Is Apple compatible with Microsoft Office?
Any computer is compatible as long as it can read and write Office files. But for perfect (or at least near perfect) compatibility, you would want to purchase Office 2011 for Mac.
How can I transport from Windows to Mac?
You can't directly transport any installation of Windows. All PC's come with a machine specific version of Windows intended for that PC. They don't have all of the hardware drivers the retail disks cover.
If you want Windows on your Mac, you would first purchase a full version copy (NOT an upgrade disk) of Windows 7 or 8. Those are the only supported versions on newer Macs. You install it through the supplied Boot Camp utility that comes with the Mac to create a new partition for Windows, and then install the retail copy of Windows you purchased.
The reason only these versions of Windows are supported is the same basic reason as a machine specific version of Windows for a PC. Apple only includes the necessary Mac hardware drivers for Win 7 or 8 on new Macs.
Once Windows is installed, you could then install the version of Office for Windows you already own. The nuisance of a Boot Camp partition is that you have to physically boot to either Windows or OS X, so you can only use the apps of the OS you're in at the time. To use both at once, you'd have to use virtual machine software (Parallels, VMware, VirtualBox) and then install Windows within that. Then you'd be able to run Windows inside of OS X and have access to both at the same time.

How can i get itunes to quit skipping to the currently playing song when i'm working on the library somewhere else?

how can i get itunes to quit skipping to the currently playing song when i'm working on the library somewhere else?

You might be able to achieve what you want by using Party Shuffle. Set the source for Party Shuffle to be the playlist you want to listen to or add the tracks you want to listen to by control clicking on them and selecting Add to Party Shuffle. Once everything is in Party Shuffle, you can rearrange them to your satisfaction. As the songs are played, they'll roll off the queue. You can quit iTunes and even when you restart, all your songs will be there, in the order you want, waiting for you to hit play.
