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.
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 I can't find the "authorized this computer" on the iTunes store menu. Can anyone tell me where to look for it? It doesn't seem to be in the topics across the top of the home page. Thanks.

I am trying to authorize a computer. But I can't locate the"authorized this computer" on the iTunes store menu. I can't find it under any topics across the menu bar at the top of the page. Can anyone help me find it? Thanks.

It should be on the Store drop-down menu at the top of iTunes (if you are using iTunes 11 on a PC then try pressing Alt-S and see if it appears) e.g. (screenshot is from iTunes on a Mac)

How do I authorize my computer? I can not find the "Authorize This Computer" option anywhere.

PLEASE READ ALL EMAIL. ANYONE THAT CAN HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. As you read through the emails, you will see that "C" the customer service person responds the same way. All the emails are from the same thread. I would reply to his email, he would, I guess, copy and paste an answer, and the response is the same. He never pays attention to the previous emails. HELP PLEASE!!!
This is very frustrating to me. If you read back through your emails, you state the SAME INFO 4 times. If you would read my email AND see thescreen shots attached you would see. Why do you continuously state the same info..(SEE RED HIGHLIGHTS BELOW).I NEED HELP ASAP TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF...Do you have any other info EXCEPT for what is listed below??????
IT DOES NOT GIVE THE OPTION TO AUTHORIZE COMPUTER!
I HAVE NOT CHANGED ACCOUNT NAME
IT DOES NOT REPEATEDLY ASK TO AUTHORIZE COMPUTER BECAUSE IT DOES NOT GIVE THE OPTION TO START WITH.
I TRIED EVERYTHING AT http://support. apple.com/kb/TS1389, 3 TIMES NOW. (ATHORIZING PURCHASES, HAVE THE CORRECT NAME, REMOVING THE SC INFO FOLDER).
I NEED HELP! IS THERE A PHONE # I CAN CALL??? CAN THIS BE FORWARDED TO YOUR SUPERVISOR SINCE YOU ARE UNABLE TO HELP?

Dear
Thank you for replying. It's C from iTunes Customer Support.
Addressing your concern is really important for me. I will do my best to answer your question.
S, if your computer is not currently authorized to play your account's purchases, when you try to play an iTunes Store purchase, the authorization dialog will appear. You will see the name of the account that purchased the item. If you've changed your account name, replace the old account name with the new name, then enter your password and click Authorize. This authorizes your computer to play the account's purchases.
If you are repeatedly asked to authorize your computer to play your purchases, you may find this article helpful:

If you still cannot authorize your computer, please include a screen shot of any error received, as well as any additional details about the error itself.

I do not get an error, I do not even get the authorization dialog. I have sent 2 screen shots, they are attached.
When I try to play an iTunes store purchase, a bubble pops up and states that this computer is not authorized. It does not pop up account name or password. I have also completed everything stated in the http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389 link.
This is very frustrating.

I am trying to authorize my new computer. I do not see AUTHORIZE MY COMPUTER anywhere. I see COMPUTER AUTHORIZATIONS, but not an option to authorize.

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 I can't find the authorize this computer prompt

I am trying to authorize my new imac so I can download the song list from my iphone. I looked in itunes but do not see how to do it. I have 4 products authorized so I should be able to add my imac. I read the instructions in Itunes support but I don't see the words "authorize this computer " anywhere. HELP!

HT1420 I can't find the "Authorize This Computer" tab?

I'm trying to authorize my computer so I can sync my phone, but there it doesnt say "Authorize This Computer" under "Store"

Are you up to date with itunes?
Also, are you looking under the Store menu at the top, where it says, "File Edit View Control Store"?

HT1420 I can't find the "authorize this computer" button in updated itunes. How can I do it?

I cannot find the place to authorize my computer for iTunes. The link given by Apple's support team is not helpful--the updated iTunes doesn't show the same screen or information as I had in an older version of iTunes. I would really like some help because Apple's support team isn't giving me any more new information than I already had in the first place. All they gave me was a link to a page on their website about authorization/de-authorization that I've visited before, to no avail.

If you are on a Mac then it should be in the same place as on previous version e.g. on my Mac on iTunes 11
If you are on a PC then Alt-S should open the Store drop-down menu at the top of it

HT1420 Is there another method to authorize my computer? I do not find the "authorize this computer" link under the Store menu.

Is there another link to authorized my computer? I do not find the "Authorize This Computer" link under the "Store" menu.

You clicked the word Store at the top of your computer screen?
Authorize is there.

I have 10.6.8 and have installed two new printers HP 8610 and an Epson 7880 and can not find the Page Set-up menu anywhere in the applications I a trying to print from. There are no page sizes, paper types, appearsto be locked on a 13x19 size but It.

Hi to the Mac Folks,
I have 10.6.8 and have installed two new printers HP 8610 and an Epson 7880 and can not find the Page Set-up menu anywhere in the applications I a trying to print from. This is regardless of either printer selected.
I primarily print photos from Photoshop CS5. The term Page Set-up has gone missing in the file pull down menu. Can't make any choices There are no page sizes, paper types, appearsto be locked on a 13x19 size paper format. Either being too large or too small.
Saw a 2008 locked issue about this however none of the help fit my situation, options discussed are not available to me.
Preview has no "Page Setup" - or does it?
Does the constant struggle with computer compatability weirdness issues ever end or is it a enslavement scheme?

Hey,
if you know the name(s) of the root folder(s) you want to access (eg. by making a note on the Windows side) then you can make them appear by just doing Shift-Command-G in Finder ("Go to Folder…"), and entering the full path to the required folders. You can then navigate all the contents as normal.
HTH,
S.

I want to add my pc to my apple id? Can't find the authorize this computer link on the store page

You're looking in the wrong place. You need to look under the Store menu in iTunes. If you have iTunes 11 on a Windows system which has the menus hidden by default for some unexplainable reason, press Control-B.
Regards.

I can't find the "Authorize This Computer" button on itunes for my iMac.

Does anyone know where I can find it? Im trying to connect my ipod touch to my new imac and i cant seem to figure out how to do it.
Thanks!

You don't need to be in the store but you do have to have iTunes running.
Just mouse over the menu bar (Top of screen ) to Store and in the pull down menu select
"authorize this computer"
You are presented with a new window into which you add your Apple ID credentials and click the Authoize radio button.
So long as your are connected to the internet a small background script runs and confirms completion.
You can have up to 5 different computers authorised at any one time.
