HT1420 How to authorize an iPad for iTunes

I am having a problem finding where I go to to authorize my iPad for iTunes. I am not sure which operating system I have. Can you hel?

Authorising and deauthorising is only for computers, iOS devices (iPads, iPhones and iPod Touches) don't needit. Are you getting an error message that implies that it needs authorising ?

How to authorize a computer for ITUNES (non-mac)

i tried following the instructions however under 'store' there is no choice for 'authorizing computer'
furthermore when i go into account information it is telling me that 3 computers are authorized to play content purchased with this Apple ID- why is everywhere else i see that it says 5 computers?
i bought a new HP, installed ITUNES, plugged in my IPOD and it transfer the music over but it won't play it since it is saying the computer is not authorized, following Apple's own instructions on the support site I can't find where I can authorize the new computer at...

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:

Unable to authorize This Computer for iTunes

About 8 months ago I installed iTunes on one of my desktops (Windows) and setup the store access and actually purchased the OS update for my iTouch. Yesterday I purchased an iPad for my wife and started to set it up on her laptop. I've installed iTunes 9.1 and attempted to "Authorize This Computer" for iTunes purchases, I also attempted to do this on my laptop (both are running Win7 x64). Per the iTunes screen an email was sent to my account but I never receive it. Prior to the attempt to authorize the two computers from my wife's laptop I issued a request to reset my password. This email I received and reset the password. I then received a confirmation email that the password was reset.
Why cannot I receive the emails to authorize my two laptops?

In the iTunes window click on Store > Authorize This Computer
In the "Authorize This Computer" I enter my email and password, click on the "Authorize" button.
A new window pops up title "You have not verified your account", Click OK to review the instructions on how to verify your account.
I click on the OK button and then the iTunes main window informs me that an email as been sent to my account and it displays my email address.
I never receive the email and I have zero idea what to do at this point.
The link you provided is about "Authorizing a computer allows you to manage which computers can play music, videos, audiobooks, or other content purchased from the iTunes Store" - This sounds like what I want to do but I cannot authorize either my computer or my wife's computer. At this point nether of us have or can purchase anything using my iTunes account.
At this point I'm totally confused and upset and very close to returning the **** iPad. I thought this was going to be a simple process but it is turning into a can of worms.
What I'm attempting to do is have one iTunes store account where either myself or my wife can purchase.

Which store do you go to, to authorize your computer for itunes!?!?!?!? o.O

Hi... look i am having SO much trouble! I can't figure which store you go to to authorize your computer for itunes purchases! Help please!

As you appear to be in Canada, you would want to log on to the Canadian iTunes Store. Do you already have an iTunes Store account? If you have purchases, I'm guessing you do.
I'm not entirely sure what your actual problem is. Is there a particular error message you're getting? What, exactly, is happening. The more details you give, the better the answers you'll get.
Best of luck.

Cannot Authorize My Computer for iTunes

Hello, I hope you are well.
I am running Windows 7 and have been using iTunes on this computer for about two years. About two weeks ago, all of the songs I have purchased from iTunes (a few hundred) could not be played because this computer is no longer authorized for some reason. When I check my account, there is only one computer authorized to play the songs, which is the computer I am on.
Whenever I start up iTunes, it says that "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPod "Victor's iPod". Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?" I, of course, try to authorize it, but after entering my username and password (both of which I am completely certain is correct), I get the message "We could not complete your iTunes store request. An unknown error occurred (-42408)."
I have tried every day for the last two weeks using four different Internet connections. Once, and only once, I actually didn't get that message, so I thought my problems had disappeared. However, the next time I plugged in my iPod and started up iTunes again, the same issue returned.
I have spent at least four hours searching for answers in this forum and on Google.com, and have tried approximately 14 suggestions, from minor ones to major ones. Unfortunately, it looks like there are thousands of people with this exact same issue, and although some suggestions have worked for some, a lot of people are still experiencing problems.
Any thoughts on what I can do? Thanks.

Eject your ipod in itunes.
Then uncheck this box
the itunes menu > Devices tab
"Prevent ipods and iphones from syncing automatically"
Restart itunes, connect your ipod, and press the sync button.
