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.
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 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!!!"

  • Firefox 3.6.8. I can't find the tabs that I had open during several recent sessions.

    Firefox 3.6.8. I can't find the tabs that I had open during several sessions, the last of which was in Dec 2010. I've looked at various Views under History>Show all history. Are my old tabs stored somewhere (maybe in the Profiles folder) where I can access them? Sorry, I know that this question has probably been asked many times in the forum, but I haven't found a solution yet.

    This can be caused by anti-virus software/ real time scanners. Please try to disable the anti-virus software and try again. '''Do not forget to enable it after!'''

  • When I plug my ipod in I am able to add song to it but the tab that says "on this ipod" no longer shows up so I cannot remove things from my ipod or anything like that. How do I change this weird setting?

    When I plug my ipod in I am able to add song to it but the tab that says "on this ipod" no longer shows up so I cannot remove things from my ipod or anything like that. How do I change this weird setting? On other computers this shows up fine so it is clearly a problem with itunes and not my ipod.

  • 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

    I'm trying to authorize my computor but can't find the tab in the store menu ?

    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.

  • HT5868 how can i sync my Iphone, when i acept the trust option, but doesnt give me the tab that says "iphone" next to the store/library tab?

    how can i sync my iphone, when i acept the trust option, but it doesnt give me the tab that says "iphone" next to the store/library tab?

    Hello again and sorry to bother you. I was hoping you could help me with iTunes 10.5. This update has been a pain. When I first installed it, my entire library was gone. Luckily, I saved the "iTunes Library" file before updating and copied it in place and my library appeared. But now the problem I'm having is that the iTunes can't find any of the "original" files, even though my iTunes Media file location has not changed (it's on an external network drive". When I click on the "Do you want to find the original file" I can find it in the appropriate folder. I checked the "Preferences" and under "Advanced" I re-mapped it to the appropriate location and already had the 2 boxes for iTunes organizing files checked. Then went to "File" and "Organize Library" and clicked the first check box and then got the "Copying Files" bar. When this was completed, I thought it would be able to find the original files. But I'm still getting the same error message about not being able to find the "original" files. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks again for your help.

  • When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone' The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library.  How can I get it into my library?

    When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone'.  This is at the end of all the other tabs like info, ringtones, music etc. The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library.  How can I get it into my library?  It doesn't sync either.

    The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version.  You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes.  Or you can adapt to the new look.

  • I can't find the tab in new itunes to synch my contacts.

    I can't find the tab in new itunes to synch my contacts in Itunes 11.1.3.
    How should I do it? I can't find the info button as stated in the guide.

    I, like many others, do not want my contacts and personal info floating around out there in cycber space for anyone to access.  I don't care how "SECURE" you think it is, IT ISN'T.  I want to be able to sync my contacts from MY COMPUTER to MY MOBILE devices with a simple cord.  Apple needs to get off it's high horse and give us back control of our data.

  • HT204266 I need a receipt for OS Mountain Lion. I can't find the email thats supposed to be sent automatically

    I need a receipt for OS Mountain Lion for my workplace. I can't find the email that's supposed to be sent automatically. Any suggestions ?

    If you just purchased Mountain Lion, wait a couple of days. It sometimes takes that long for the receipt to arrive. Also check any anti-spam filters on your email application or email account to make sure that messages from Apple aren't being blocked.
    If no receipt shows up within a couple of days, you can ask your company if a screen print of the order information from the Purchase History, which should be available through iTunes by viewing your account, would be sufficient. If not, you can contact Mac App Store Customer Service and ask if they can resend the receipt.
    Regards.

  • Where can I find the purchases that were made from itunes and apps?

    Where can I find the purchases that were made from itunes and apps?

    You can view the full purchase history on your account via your computer's iTunes : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases.
    On an iOS device you can only view the last 90 days purchases (and optionally contact iTunes Support if you have a problem with one of them) via http://reportaproblem.apple.com
