I am trying to authorize another computer and it wont give me the option...any help?

You are looking at the Store drop-down menu ? If you are using a PC with iTunes 11 and the menus aren't showing then control-B should get them to show. If you are using a Mac then it should be at the top of your Mac's screen.

I used Terminal to change the permissions on the folder in question. I followed the instructions in this article:
iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization
In my case, the folder was there, so I needed the command to change permissions on the folder, not to create one. I was hesitant to use Terminal b/c I know that if I made an error I could wipe out my hard drive or render my computer unusable. So to be SURE I didn't make an error, I carefully copied the command from that page and *pasted* it into Terminal. Also, before I could do anything in Terminal, I had to go change my admin password (it had been a blank password before and that's not acceptable for making changes in Terminal). I was just super careful when entering my password or doing anything else while Terminal was open (making sure I didn't accidently hit the spacebar or another key, etc.) And it fixed the problem right away.
What was confusing for me was that the iTunes error message said to change permissions in the FINDER, which is what I was trying to do. It didn't mention Terminal. What would really be helpful is if Apple included a link to a page like this in their error message.

It does not magically appear in a new place. It will only be where you put it.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

HT1420 I am unable to authorize another computer. When I go to the "store" I can't find a place to authorize a second computer

I have a sony ipod and I am unable to authorize another computer to the itunes store. When I go to the store I cannot find the prompt to "authorize a computer"
Where should I be looking? I have windows 8 on my computer

You don't have any menubars at the top of your computer's iTunes ? I still see them on my Mac on iTunes 11 :
If you are on Windows then press the 'alt' key and the menus should appear (alt-s to open the Store menu)

I am trying to authorize my computer and am not having any luck

I have an older version of iTunes on my office computer and it will not let me update to the current version without an administrative password. How can I get around this??

I have an older version of iTunes on my office computer and it will not allow me to upgrade to the newer version without an administrative password. How can I get around this???

If you have an iBook G4, (PPC) you can't do much.
But if that is a MacBook (intel) you may be able to
upgrade the OS X, if the hardware is up to it...
Since there were about nine different build models
of MacBook (not powerpc iBook) to identify what
one you have would be the first step to knowing
what OS X and RAM upgrades it could use.
If the computer is not already at OS X 10.6.8,
it can't go online to get or use OS X 10.7.5. So,
when you more accurately describe the 'Book,
detailed information is available.
When you find the serial number, there is a web
page that can be used to identify by serial no.
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
That'd be a first step. Or even the Model number
which should be visible on the outer case by hinge.
Good luck & happy computing!

HT1420 I am trying to "authorize my computer."

support says to go to the store menu and choose "authorize my computer." cant find it. help?

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.

HT1420 I'm trying to authorize my computer but don't see the link that I can click after putting in my user name and password.

Where is the link to authorize my computer for itunes? I used to use my home computer but am away from home and want to use my laptop.

It's on 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 (by default they are hidden on iTunes 11 onPCs)
e.g. (image is from a Mac, but it should be similar on a PC)

What do you do when you try and sync your phone and it says you are synced with another computer and u are not?

I am having trouble syncing ringtones and movies

If it says you are synced with another computer, you are synced with another computer. The only alternative is you have wiped and reloaded the computer that you normally sync with, essentially making it a new computer.

I put on ipod on my other computer and it will not let me download my music

I used to use my desktop computer then I went to put the music from my Ipod to my laptop and it said that my computer was not authorize and i could not find how to authorize computer. CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE!!!!

Hi My other computer won't let...,
nice nickname by the way
Be sure you are connected to the internet. Go to iTunes. Click the Store Menu and choose "Authorize Computer..." and enter your iTunes account name and password. If you forgot your account name, check it on your old computer. If you forgot your password, use the "Forgot Password?" button.
If you plan to no longer use your desktop, do not forget to deauthorize it (iTunes>Store>Deauthorize computer...), because you can only authorize 5 computers at a time. If you plan to use both computers, leave it authorized.
Hope that helps, Lars
