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.

Sign into the iTunes store with the ID you used to purchase the music in Store>Sign In, then go to Store Authorize This Computer and sign in with the ID. Note: when you do this, your computer is then associated with this ID and you will not be able to download previous purchases, enable automatic downloads or sign into an iTunes Match account using a different ID for a period of 90 days.

Use the Deauthorize All command documented in this article, or if it isn't an option, the 'contact iTunes Store support' link at the bottom of it.

Thanks so much. Unfortunately, this did not solve the problem. I attempted to go to Safari and follow your subsequent instructions; however, the same screen comes up with the locked url address. I tried going to "new page" but again, each effort reverts back to the locked url. Thaks so much for your time and courtesy in trying to help. Guess I'll have to pay for Apple tech support. :-(

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) :

HT1420 How can I reauthorize my computer? There is nothing for me to click on so I don't know what to do.

Since the iOS7 upgrade I have had nothing but issues with my iPhone 4. I have redone everything I can, took iTunes off the PC and reloaded. I deauthorized all computers and went to re-authorize my laptop and there is no place to click to reauthorize it. HELP! About ready to throw this all out the window!

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 deauthorize ONE computer? All I see in account information is an option to deauthorize ALL computers. I see where it says to deauthorize them all and then re-authorize the ones still in use but I do not want to do that.

How do I deauthorize ONE computer? All I see in account information is the option to deauthorize ALL computers. I do not want to do this. I authorized an iPad at my previous employer (school for Autism) and want to leave that one authorized so the students will still have access to the apps and music. How can I just deauthorize the desktop (windows) that I no longer use?

I am in a similar situation. Hoping there has been an update to fix this problem by now.... I do NOT want to deauthorize all 5 computers, AT ALL. I only want to deauthorize 1 computer I do not have anymore! Because there is no way I'd ever want to deal with re authorizing the other 4, when I only need to deauthorize ONE.
Have they patched this problem yet?

If you've got 5 computers authorised for the account in question, and you need to free up authorizations, I'd do a "Deauthorize All" from one of the computers you have access to, and then reauthorize the computers you have access to.
For instructions, see the following document:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
(Best to deauthorise a computer before you reinstall the OS on it.)

HT1420 How does one authorize a new computer?

iTunes help is anything but. Instructions are to go to "Store" and select authorize this computer but there is nothing close to that choice. It seems that this should be doable from the account settings.

The Store menu is at the very top of the screen on a Mac and at the top of the iTunes application window in Windows.

HT1420 how do i authorize computer after deauthorizing in itunes

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:
