how do i authorize computer after deauthorizing in itunes

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:

    are you saying that your computer is autharized from guessing, or do you know it is becuase it says it. in itunes, go to the advanced tab and the last option in that tab should be either aurhorize, or de-authorize.  What does it say?

  • Authorize Computer after PC restart

    A couple weeks ago I installed Windows 7 (64 bit) on my computer, after getting installing itunes (9.0.2) and importing my music back into itunes I Authorized the computer to play my music, but every time I restart the computer (for any reason) I have to reauthorize and can only do this by deleting the "SC Info" folder, starting itunes and then authorizing. Should go without saying but its very annoying, any ideas for a fix?

    Go to the top of this page, click "Support", then type "authorize" in the "search support" bar. You will get articles that will explain about authorization and de-authorization.

  • How can I authorize mac after initial installation?

    I installed Adobe Digital Edition but skipped the step to sign in.   Then I downloaded books from the public library.  When I try to copy them to my Nook, ADE says it is not authorized. So now I want to authorize my computer but can't figure out how to do that.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

    First, return the book you have borrowed.  You won't be able to do that after registering properly.
    Then, get an Adobe account/ID if you don't already have one (you may have needed one to get opn this forum?)
    Goto adobe.dom website and try to sign in.  It will lead you through the steps to create a new account/ID.
    Then, in ADE, choose menu/Help/Authorize Computer (Library/Authorize Computer on the older more reliable ADE v1.7.2)
    and follow through what it asks
    Then, in ADE with Nook plugged in, menu/Help/Authorize Device(Library/Authorize Device on v1.7.2)

    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.

    how to deauthorize a computer that is not with me anymore?

    If you log into your account via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes then on your account's screen (under the 'Apple ID Summary' heading) there should be a 'Computer Authorisations' line with a 'Deauthorise All' button to the right of it - you can only 'deauthorise all' once every 12 months.

    It is not actually in the iTunes Store, it is in the Store menu of iTunes.
    To authorize, go to the Store menu item on the iTunes menu bar, and choose "Authorize This Computer..." as shown below. 
    If by any chance you don't see the menu bar ("File, Edit, View, Controls, Store, Help"), first enable it by using CTRL+B.

    If you have iTunes 11, the menu bar is hidden. To show it, hold the Alt key, and then, choose the Store menu (on the menu bar) > Authorize this Computer.
    You can also find the iTunes Store menu by pressing the button at the top left corner of the iTunes window
