HT1420 How to authorise new computer

I have been trying to sync my Ipad mini and it wipes out all photo and video files then says computer is not authorised. How do I overcome this bloody annoying and frudstrating SNAFU. Note , no drop down menus are available despite help saying they are.

    You are looking at the drop-down menus at the top of iTunes e.g. on a Mac :
    If you are on iTunes 11 on Windows then press Alt-S and the Store menu should appear at the top.

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

    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.

    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.

    I have a macbook pro
    Some songs have gone on itunes with icloud from my itouch, but i cant play them
    It says I need to authorise my computer first, but how do I do that? thank you

    you need to find out the Apple ID of the song by using Get Info and on the summary page it will show you what Apple ID was used to purchase that song.
    Then Store > Authorise this Computer.. Enter the apple ID and password

    You can authorise and deauthorise an account on a computer's iTunes via the Store drop-down menu at the top of iTunes - if you are using a PC with iTunes 11 on then control-B should get the menus to show

  • HT1420 how to deauthorize broken computer on my account

    i have no luck with computers i have gone through 5 laptops and didnt deauthorize them.  Now i have a new computer but itunes wont let me authorize it. As  it has already got 5 authorized
    help please

    Individual computers can only be deauthorised directly on them, but if you have 2 or more computers authorised then you can log into your account on your computer's iTunes (Store > View My Account) and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then authorise/reauthorise the computers that you still have and need : authorising and deauthorising.

  • 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:
