HT1420 I can not find the location of the "authorize" button.

I can not find the "authorize" button on the itunes menu?

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:

    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.

    You are meant to be looking at iTunes on your computer, with your iPhone plugged into it and selected in the sidebar under "Devices". If you cannot see a sidebar, select "Show Sidebar" from the "View" menu. Now click on the "Summary" tab (not button).

    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!!!

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??????

    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:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    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.

  • 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

  • HT4972 I can not find the update "button" to update my i phone to ios6?

    Where do I find the button to update my iphone to i0s6?

    This is ONLY a feature of ios 5 or above. 
    Since you have ios 4, you will need to update as always and as the article you linked from expalins:
    Turn on computer, open itunes, connect iphone.
    That's it.  If there is an update available it will prompt you.
    Make sure you have the latest itunes version.
