How I authorize a new PC?

I have just bought a new PC and have loaded itunes and synced with my ipad.  When I try to play a video on the new PC I get a message that says I need to uathorize the computer in order to download.  How do I do that?

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:

  • How to authorize my new computer for iTunes

    how to authorize my new computer?

    Hi
    The process to activate a computer in itunes is similar for Mac and Windows.
    On the Mac OS X start iTunes. Click on Store in the menu bar and choose authorize this computer.  In the text Field enter your apple id username and password and click ok. You should receive a message stating “Including this one you have authorized X computers out of your available 5”, Where X is the number of devices you have authorized with your apple ID.
    Please note that you can authorize maximum 5 computers with the same apple id.
    That means you can play the content you purchased with that Apple ID on up to 5 computers.
    The detailed information regarding how to authorize/deauthorize can be found at :

  • How to authorize my new PC to DL my music on icloud?

    How do I authorize my new pc to dl music on my icloud account?

    You don't download music from your iCloud account unless you are an iTuens Match subscriber.  You redownload it from the iTunes store.  Open iTunes on your computer, sign in with the Apple ID you used to purchase the music (Store>Sign In), authorize your computer for the ID (Store>Authorize This Computer), then follow the directions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
    Note: when you do this, your computer becomes associated with the ID and you cannot download previous purchases from another ID for 90 days.

    I have looked up how to do this and it tells me to go the store and from from the "store menu" choose "authorize the computer." Where is the store menu? I cannot find anything to drops down and show an authorize command. I am lost. This is the latest iTunes on a Windows 8 computer. HELP!
