HT1420 How do I authorise my computer for iTunes when there is no "authorize this computer" or Advanced menu ? When Apple say Store menu do they mean from the top of the store when logged in ?

Where is the iTunes Store menu that has Authorize this Computer located and/or Advanced menu ? How do I authorise my computer for iTunes if I cannot find Authorize this Computer or Advanced menu ? Thank you.

It's done via the Store drop-down menu at the top of iTunes - if you are using iTunes 11 on a PC then pressing Alt-S should get the Store menu to appear e.g. (screenshot is from a Mac, but it should be similar on a PC) :

TS1277 I have windows 8; at the itunes store there is no "authorize this computer" option available. how do I authorize my computer?

I have a new windows 8 pc. I am trying to authorize my computer at the itunes store. I looked up the tutorial. It says to go to the itunes store and select the "authorize this computer". there is no "authorize this computer" to select. What do I do?

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:

HT1420 How do I authorize my computer? there is no "authorize this computer" option anywhere

I want to download my purchases from the cloud, but it will not let me until I authorize my computer, which I can't figure out how to do.

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.

HT1420 I need to authorize my computer and in the store menu there is no "authorize this computer" like the support page says...?

I'm having a hard time doing what I'm reading I should do when the option isn't there!

Authorization
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.

HT1420 There is no "authorize this computer" button from the itunes store.

I'm trying to authorize a new computer from the itunes store. The tutorial says to click on the "authorize this computer" button from the itunes store, but I cannot find it! So frustrating!

It is not in the iTunes Store...
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 authorise my Imac for Itunes after replacing the hard drive?

Dear All,
Apologies, but I am new to forums and understand that the issue of "Authorisation" of Itunes purchases and rentals has been done to death! However, I have tried everything and have exhausted normal research on the Net, there doesnt seem to be standard sollution to my problem. I have replaced the Hard Drive in my Imac 2008 with an SSD which makes the Imac very fast and effcient and completely clean of the usual trash in an old computer. So before renting my first movie, I did the following:..................................
Formatted the hard drive and downloaded and upgraded to OSX to 10.5.8 (the latest I can go on this Imac (I think) Intel 3.06Ghz 2 core and 4GB SSDRAM)
Upgraded Itunes to the latest available
Upgraded Quicktime to the latest available.
I rented a film which will not play and initially I got the "not authorised on this computer" message which kept repeating despite saying it was "waiting"
So I did the usual apple support search and tried the following:..................................
I checked that my apple User ID and password where up to date and that I was purchasing on the right ID
Tried the standard.....Itunes/Store/Authorise this computer - tried unauthorising and then re-authorising No luck
I tried deleting the (/Users/Shared/SC info) file No luck
I tried the Terminal based solution "sumo chmod -R 777 /Shared/Users" fix It didnt work either
I don't get the authorisation warning any more but just get a black screen with a grey horizontal stripe across the middle
I would be very grateful if somene could give me another sollution to try............................
Thank you very much,
Sfithy

Double & triple check that you installed the hard drive correctly.

HT1420 There is no "Authorize this computer" option that i can choose from the store menu, and there is no "Advanced" option. Can anyone please help me?

You are looking at the menu options at the top of iTunes, and not on the iTunes store home page e.g. this screenshot is from a Mac's iTunes :

HT1349 I have just moved from one pc to another. I had used 5 computers to attach to itunes. I went in and disabled all 5 of my accounts but cant get the new computer to give me a prompt to authorize this computer. Any ideas?

Hellow everyone,
I have just moved from one PC to another. They are windows pc's not macintosh. When i installed itunes on the new computer it stated that I already had 5 devices authrorized for this account. I did a little reading and went in and deathorized all 5 PC from the account as I am sure it was a couple pcs ago and a few iphones. When I try and go in and authorize an account I cant see anywhere where there is a prompt to authorize the new PC. I go into store and all it says is that there are no devices associated to this account. What I would like to do is associate my new PC and my iphone to this account and hopefully restore from the cloud all of my music and programs.
Any idea what I am doing wrong here or how I can resolve this. Thanks in advance.
Respectully.
CK

if it's music then drm is not used there any more and drm can be removed from previously bought drm material without cost

ITunes movie rental sync generates "authorize this computer" error message

Hello. I've rented Cabin Fever (HD version) via iTunes and am trying to sync it to my iPad 2. The sync process continues for some time but then cancels with a message saying something like "this device is not authorized to play this content. Please authorize the computer in settings ..." etc. But my computer *is* authorized. Clicking "authorize" simply generates a message saying "this computer is already authorized" and a number count of how many devices authorizations I still have left to use.
I've read in other searching that HD movies can't be synced, but that seems outrageous. Is that the issue? (I feel like I'm *certain* I've watched other rented movies in HD because why would I ever choose SD?)
What can I try to get this to work?
thanks!

HT201272 There is no "authorize this computer" on my iTunes

I am trying to get my past purchases on my new computer and there is no place to "authorize" my computer on the iTunes store. The instructions say to click on that button. Please help.

Open itunes.
Look at the top of your computer screen for the word "Store". Click it.
Then look for Authorize. Click it.

When I try to play an itunes purchased movie it says I have to authorize this computer. When I put in my log in information it says this computer is already authorized and will still not play the move. I have tried to deauthorize and reauthorize this computer, delete and reinstall itunes and Quicktime and nothing works; the purchased movies still will not play

I'm having the same problem on my new iMac. First it tells me it's not authorized to play the songs, then when I enter my password, it tells me it's already authorized, but still won't play them. I tried deleting a song and going to the store to redownload it and got charged for it! I've got hundreds of songs, so that's not going to be an option.
In addition, I have quite a few songs from a very old Apple ID, one I forgot I even had, I have no idea what the password was and no way to have the system send me a new password because I no longer have access to that email account.
The Mac I just "retired" could play all the songs in my catalog just fine. This new one won't play the majority of them.
Help!

HT1420 How do you authorise a computer on the new iTunes? (2013)

Hello,
I'm using iTunes on Windows 8, and I have recently updated iTunes, it's a very different layout from the previous one I had for ages, I can't remember when I updated, but it was in 2013.
I have moved from one computer to another (the old one broke) but I cannot synchronise my iTunes from iCloud onto this computer, I was wondering how you authorise iTunes onto this new computer. I deauthorised the last computer I had and I now only have my iPad synchronised to iTunes. I have tried to look up how to authorise iTunes onto a new computer, but everyone says 'click on store and then click on authorise', I can't seem to find this option!
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

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.
