HT1420 I can't find the "store menu" to authorize a computer

I am trying ot authorize a computer.  Apple support states:
Authorizing and deauthorizing a computer allows you to manage which computers can sync or use apps, audiobooks, books, music, movies, or other content you've purchased from the iTunes Store.
You can use or sync your purchases from the iTunes Store on up to five different computers (these can be any mix of Macintosh or Windows-compatible computers). When you sync or play an item you've purchased, your computer is "authorized" for purchase using your Apple ID.
Notes:
In order to enable Home Sharing, Automatic Downloads, or downloading of past purchases, your computer must be authorized for use with your Apple ID.
Songs you encode in AAC format from a source other than the iTunes Store, such as your own audio CDs, and iTunes Plus content (music and music videos) do not need to be authorized.
  To authorize a computer using your Apple ID 
Open iTunes
From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer. (In earlier versions of iTunes, access this option from the Advanced menu).
When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.
I can't locate this menu. HELP.

Thank you King_Penguin, your answer solved this issue for me
I guess to access that menu bar, a person will always have to us Alt-S, since it's now associated with the Store, and not with the player, in Preferences, as it was before.
Thanks again

    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. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.

    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.

    I need to authorize this iPad.  Instructions say to open ITunes and from the store menu choose "authorize this computer.". Cannot find.

    Use iTune on your computer. You authorize the computer not the iPad.

    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.

  • I still can't find the "Store" menu!

    One song was "corrupted" while it was downloading so I have to re-download it. I tried the re-downloading it which brought up an error dialog box telling me to use the "Check for Available Downloads" option from the "Store" menu. For some reason, I can't seem to find this god-forsaken menu!
    I've only managed to find "iTunes Store" which doesn't lead me to the "Check for available downloads" option.
    I must be blind or something.

    Hi Echelon_Killjoy,
    You know those times when you are looking for something that's right in front of you? Well, this is one of those times.
    Nomatter where you are on iTunes, there is always a sidebar on the left and down the side are a list of words:
    LIBRARY
    Music
    Rentals
    Movies
    TV Shows
    Radio
    STORE'***'
    iTunes Store
    iTunes Match
    Purchased
    Downloads'!!!'
    SHARED
    Home Sharing
    GENIUS
    Genius
    Then it continues to list the playlists, etc. The 'Store' menu I have marked with three stars '***'
    Under 'Store' click on downloads, which I marked '!!!'.
    On that page, you will find a botton labelled, 'Check for Available Downloads.'
    And that's it! There you have it! Sorry to make you feel blind, by the way.
    Good Luck! I hope I helped!

  • Where is the store menu to authorize a computer?

    The tutorials say to go to the store menu and it will say "authorize this computer".  I cannot find a store menu.  I have looked everywhere that I can think of and nothing works.  iTunes is always frustrating but this is an especially frustrating experience as I accidentally deleted everything on my ipod and really want it back.  All the songs that came from CDs are lost to me for several months as I'm moving and everything is in storage and until I can authorize this computer my iPod has 16 songs on it.
    Thank you!

    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.

  • HT1420 Where can I find the button from the store menu that says "Authorize this Computer"?

    I looked up how to authorize a computer and I found the answer, but I can't find the button that says Authorize this computer!

    "It is not actually in the iTunes Store, it is in the Store menu of iTunes."
    Yeah, that makes PERFECT sense!   /sarcasm
    Not in the iTunes store, dummy, it's in the Store menue of iTunes.
    ED2345, I'm not making fun of you; Apple should be clarifying this stuff on their help pages!!!
    The Apple help site says nothing like this; it simply says to go to the Store and select "Authorize this computer".  Had it not been for ED2345 mentioning the CTRL+B trick, I probably would NEVER have found it.
    Why can't Apple quit moving stuff around in iTunes?  Just when I think I have things figured out, an update comes along and EVERYTHING IS IN A DIFFERENT PLACE!
    I love my iPhone and my iPad - but I truly despise iTunes for this reason.
    So I simply say to Apple, "STOP IT!!!"
