HT1420 How do I authorize my computer? Do not see the link under store

I needed to reinstall Windows 7 and now need to re-authorize my computer. Instructions say to open iTunes, do the the store and from the menu select authorize this computer. Problem is that when I go to the store I do not see the option to authorize. I see when I can deauthorize unde my account, but no authorize. Can anyone help?

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.

I have a new time capsule (replace my old time capsule). I want to erase my old one. My computer does not see the old one anymore, how do I connect it (the old TC is not connected to modem)

I have a new time capsule (replace my old time capsule). I want to erase my old one. My computer does not see the old one anymore, how do I connect it (the old TC is not connected to modem). I want to erase it and then use it as either a second hard drive (sired/sirelesly?) or as a hard drive/bridge. So,
1. why doesn't my cmputer see the old TC
2 once i have solved that, how do I erase the old one
3. Can I use the old one as a supplemental hard drive
     a. wired?
     b. wirelessly?
4. Can I use the old one as a range extender?
I know .. a lot of questions but I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

1. Because it is either the same IP as the new one or hidden by being plugged in as a second router.
To access it, isolate one computer from the existing network and plug it directly by ethernet to a lan port of the TC. Use the erase function in the TC to remove all the content of the hard disk.
Then go to the internet tab, connection sharing and select off bridged. You can then reconnect the TC to the network.. and the computer as well. The TC will act as bridged device.. getting IP from the main router and should then appear correctly in Airport utility.
2. I covered in 1. But you just go in airport utility manual setup. disk, and you will see the erase function. You can also set it to bridge and leave the erase until you put it back in the network.. but be careful you erase the right one.
3. You can use the old TC via wired or wireless.. although I would always stick to wired connection if possible. Speed on wireless is 10x worse than wired.
Also note the reliability goes down dramatically after 2 years.. a series 1 3 years old or more is ebay fodder unless you want to repair it. Do not trust vital data to it.. when it dies you will have issues recovering it.
4. Yes, all apple routers will function as wireless extenders. when you do that the ethernet ports turn off so it becomes a purely wireless device.. strange apple decision on what you want to use your TC for.

Use the Deauthorize All function, or log into it through Virtual Network Computing and individually deauthorize it.

HT1420 how do i Deauthorize a computer that has had the hard drive lock up and can not get it working

how do i deauthorize a computer that has had the hard drive lock up and can not get it working

You can only deauthorise individual computers directly on them. Otherwise if you've reached the 5 computer limit, then you should be able to log into your iTunes account and 'deauthorise all' (which you can only do once every 12 months) and you can then (re-)authorise up to 5 computers : authorising and deauthorising.

HT1420 how do i authorize my computer

Where do i find the authorize part?

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.

HT1420 How do I authorize a computer that I received from my employer to download a song that I have on other Apple devices?

I need to make an iMovie but when I went to download the song that I have to go with it my iTunes says that this computer isnt authorized to download any of my past purchases. When I went to authorize this in my Advanced tab it said that it needed to be deauthorized but I don't know the username or password it was authorized under. Is there any way around this so I can finish this iMovie for my employer?

You can authorize the computer to your iTunes Store acount via the Store menu in iTunes. You'll find the "Authorize This Computer" command there.
Note, however, that tracks from the iTunes Store are licensed for your personal use only. You cannot use them in any commercial setting, which prohibits them from being used in a movie for your company. For such use you would have to purchase the CD on which the track was issued and then obtain an appropriate commercial-use license from the record company that owns the rights to the track, or whatever rights clearing house the record company uses.
Regards.

I am trying to authorize a new computer but there is no link under "store" to do so. Any ideas?

Hi, I went into the support section for authorizing a new computer and it says the following:
Open iTunes
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.
There is no link for Authorize this Computer (or anything else for that matter). Does anyone know how to authorize a new computer?
Thanks!!!

You looked at the top of your computer screen for the word "Store" and clicked it?
It is at the top of your computer with File, etc

How do I de authorize my computer(may not be the right term read below)

I have to give my laptop to my x wife... how do I get it to where she can set up her own accounts ect. nothing secret on here to delete just need to get Itunes ect to where she would have to create her own account. don't want to do a clean install because I cannot find my OS disk. any help would be appreciated.

Re iTunes: Open iTunes on the computer you want to deauthorize. Choose "Deauthorize computer" from the Store menu and follow the instructions. Then trash the iTunes folder from Users > your account name > Music, and empty the Trash.
You owe your ex-wife the installer discs that came with the machine and belong with it, so try again to find them. An Erase & Install of the original software is by far the best preparation for handing off the Powerbook to anyone else.

TimeCapsule/Airport:One computer does not see the other

I recently moved to a Time Machine for my networking and backing up needs. All seems well... But I can not figure out what needs to be done to fix this situation: Both laptops are on the same network; Laptop B can see Laptop A in the finder. But I cannot see Laptop B from Laptop A! (And I no longer see the "network" icon in the "Devices" portion of the finder, bt maybe that's a Version thing.)
I'm on the latest version of OSX, 10.5.5. I have previously had everything networked on an Airport Express (and before that, on a dome airport).
Any hints? Clues or solutions?
THANK YOU!
Kath

Ok, since both Macs are using the TC for wireless network connectivity they should both be getting an IP address in the range of 10.0.1.x. Are they? I assume, from your description, that they are so let's double check their configurations to make sure they are sharing.
Please check out the following Apple article to make sure you have both Macs set up properly: Mac OS X: About File Sharing
