How do I Authorise a new computer so I am able to get my purchased songs back on my ipod nano

It's done via the Store drop-down menu at the top of ITunes - if you are using iTunes 11 on a PC then control-B should get the menus to show

    I'm not sure what you mean by "authorize to your iPod". What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Do you mean you wish to sync your iPod to a new computer? If so, check out this user tip from TuringTest:

    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.

  • HT1727 how do i authorise a new computer

    How do i authorise a new computer. i am trying to transfer songs for my kids

    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:

  • HT1848 I am not getting the option to deauthorise my computer and authorise a new computer when in the itune store.  dont  know what to do.

    Not getting the option to deauthorise my old computer which isnt here anymore and then authorise my new computer.  What do I try next?

    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 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 :

  • HT1206 I have authorised a new computer and now I have got 5 computers authorised

    I have just authorised a new computer and now I have got 5 computers authorised on my account.  I now only have 2 computers so, before I deauthorise all, can anyone confirm that I will be able to re-authorise my 2 computers again and then continue with just 2 computers authorised. Thx

    You can safely deauthorise all (it doesn't remove any content from them) and you can immediately reauthorise the computers that you still have and need

  • I have purchased music with my old apple id, old computer and old email. My old email and computer are not available anymore and I dont remember my password and securtiy question anymore. How can I authorise my old apple id to authorise the new computer?

    Hi, I have a new computer and new apple id. I've purchased music with my old computer, email and apple id.
    I cant access now the previously purchase music, because it wants to authorize the new computer to play the
    music. I cant remember password and security questions for my old id and the old email doest exist anymore.
    What can I do?

    Hi, Carmen. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    If you need to reset you security questions, do not know the answers and no longer have access to that email account, see the last sentence under Note in step 5.
    You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need tocontact iTunes Store support in order to do so.
