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 ?

About authorization and deauthorization

I just got a MacBook Pro today and I was not sure how to authorize my mac for iTunes

.

Authorization
iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.
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.

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:

HT1420 How to remove credit card for iTunes

Yes I have been trying to remove my credit card. I put 50 iTunes. But will not quit going to prepaid credit. No funds.

If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID.
You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
Regards.

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.

If my ipad was stolen, how to register my ipad for the stolen goods, and lock the hardware requirements?

If my ipad was stolen, how to register my ipad for the stolen goods, and lock the hardware requirements?

It's really disappointing as a newly converted Apple customer who has already had his iPad stolen, that Apple just sits back and let's this happen.
I've viewed a number of posts regarding stolen iPads. Yes, I did have the "find my iPad" enabled. That's how I knew when the iPad was gone for good. It's a useless function in the case of theft because the thieves know how to hack into your iPad. It disappeared from my list of devices in the "find my iPad" utility that very same day.
Apple loves the fact that their devices get stolen all the time! That way they sell more of them. Theft could easily be significantly reduced if Apple chose to give users a means to report stolen devices on the Apple site. They choose not to do this. If the black market for Apple devices was limited to hackers who know they have a stolen device, the items wouldn't be such a hot commodity! Apple knows this... I guess they want to get their devices into as many households as they can.... Legally or not.
So for all you hard working folks out there, find a way to make sure your Apple products are secure because if they get stolen, you're out of luck. Apple refuses to help when they could easily do so.

How long does it takes for iTunes to restore software on a 5s?

How long does it takes for iTunes to restore software in a iPhone?

There are three major portions involved in a restore:
1. Downloading the latest copy of iOS to your Mac for installation on the iPhone.
2. Installing the software from your Mac onto the iPhone.
3. Restoring all the contents of your iPhone (except iOS, which was done in the above step).
Step 1 will depend on your Mac's download speed. We are talking about downloading more than 1GB.
Step 2 should take about 10 minutes or less.
Step 3 will depend on how much personal stuff (e.g., apps, photos, music) you had on your iPhone. It might take minutes, or an hour or more.

How do I find ipad on itunes? I have never had problems connecting to the iPad, before I was to update ios.

Hi,
Open iTunes Store app and look under purchased. Also you will see music in your music app. Ps make sure that you are signed in using your Apple ID.

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.
