HT1420 I need to authorize a computer but can't find the option in the itunes menu???
New computer, new itunes, but can't find the link to authorize the new computer. What?
You should have a series or drop-down menus at the top of your Mac's screen, one of which should be 'Store' :
Do they not show ? If not, then have you got iTunes in full-screen mode - if you have the control-command-F should toggle between full screen and normal.

I logged on to the Adobe site, but there is apparently no record of my purchase. What do I do now?
You are going to need both serial numbers if you want to install Lightroom 5, because it is an upgrade and bolts serial numbers are required. If you registered Lightroom 5 with Adobe when you first installed it then you can find your serial number on your Adobe account.

When I try to transfer over songs from my iPad to my computer it says that i need to authorize my computer, but my computer is already authorzie. It also says that some of my purchased items are not authorized for them on my computer. How do i authorize these items?
Hi slt2014,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would try authorizing your computer again, even if it seems like it is authorized, by following these instructions:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
If this does not resolve the issue, you can also try downloading your purchases directly on your computer by following this:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Cheers,

Follow the instructions in the above link to deauthorize all and then authorize only the computers that you physically have access to and need authorized. -
Hi, I can't install Apps in my ipod touch, because it needs to authorize my computer, but when I authorize still can not install Apps. this message appears :

Authorize your purchases from an administrator account -
Feeling really stupid with my new MAC - I can't find the "Store" menu in iTunes as referenced in the support article on how to authorize a computer. Where is that menu option? I've looked all over the page, in my account, etc.
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. -
i need to add a new computer and take off a old one but can't find the site or place to turn it off i can only have two computers but i got three please help let me know where to go to shut one off to put the new one on?
Hello,
the way is written there Activation & deactivation help >>> (see there only to understand the procedure) Common activation problems >>> "Activation limit reached for [product]. This serial number has already been activated on 2 computers." "Maximum activations exceeded."
>>> How to deactivate or sign out >>> A single license for Adobe software lets you install the applications on two computers—for example, at home and at the office. However, you can use the software on only one computer at any given time.
If you want to install the software on a third computer, deactivate the software on the computer on which you will no longer use the software. Then, activate the software on the new computer.

I tried to authorize my new computer and can't find the link anywhere? Also iTunes only recovered the songs I purchased from the iStore, what about the rest?
If the menu bar is not visible, hit CTRL+B then Store > Autorize this computer
iTunes Store keeps a purchase history for your Apple ID and allows ypou to redownload purchases. Any other media add to iTunes from outside the store (CDs, etc..) are not uploaded to iTunes unless you have purchased iTunes Match. Those items you will need to add from your backups. -
My itunes on my iMac for the passed few weeks now keeps on comming with the message "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPhone. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?"
or "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPad. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?"
This while everything was working fine.
Please advise what I can do with this message.
When I press autorize, it comes up with a unknow appleID. When I use apple ID's that work - it comes with the message that the computer is autorized. but then the autorization message comes back.You can't change the Apple ID that the Authorize dialog comes up with by default. It's showing you that Apple ID for a reason: it means that the items you want to play were purchased using that Apple ID and therefore you need to authorize your computer with that Apple ID. Changing the Apple ID given completely defeats the entire purpose.
If you don't know the password to the given Apple ID, then you will no longer be able to play those items. -
This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPod “Mac0217’s iPod”. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?
If you do not authorize this computer, 117 songs, including “Der Kommissar”, will be removed from the iPod.
I have authorized the computer but keeps giving me the message above.
I recently had my mother board replaced but my hard drive was spared. Ever since the replaced mother board I been getting this message.You can't change the Apple ID that the Authorize dialog comes up with by default. It's showing you that Apple ID for a reason: it means that the items you want to play were purchased using that Apple ID and therefore you need to authorize your computer with that Apple ID.

while trying to sync with my iphone I recieve the message: This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the iPhone “Terri George’s iPhone”. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store? When I put in my password and hit authorize, I get a message telling me there was an unknown error (-50). Would love to sync today. Any help would be appreciated.
The -50 error is documented in this article:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
Here is a synopsis:
Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
