HT1420 There is no "store menu" that lists authorize this computer as an option.  Are they seriously giving us wrong info...really Apple......?

  • 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!!!"

  • Using my iPad and when opening ITunes, can't find the store menu to choose "authorize this computer."

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

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

    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.

  • HT1420 How do I authorise my computer for iTunes when there is no "authorize this computer" or Advanced menu ?  When Apple say Store menu do they mean from the top of the store when logged in ?

    Where is the iTunes Store menu that has Authorize this Computer located and/or Advanced menu ? How do I authorise my computer for iTunes if I cannot find Authorize this Computer or Advanced menu ?  Thank you.

    It's done via the Store drop-down menu at the top of iTunes - if you are using iTunes 11 on a PC then pressing Alt-S should get the Store menu to appear e.g. (screenshot is from a Mac, but it should be similar on a PC) :

  • HT1420 The instructions on how to authorize a computer need links. I can't find store menu and I can't find authorize this computer.

    Hi - Does someone know how to authorize a computer so it will play the songs you've bought from iTunes? I've wasted nearly two hours trying.  It all began when I tried to remove a previously authorized computer which broke down years ago.
    Step 1 - Log in with apple ID, go into account and click the deauthorize computers button (that's what they tell you to do if you can't connect the broken computer to deauthorize it).  I managed that. 
    Result - Now it says I have no authorized computers. Fair enough.  Except I'm trying to reauthorize the one and only working computer we own so it plays the music we've previously bought, and so we can use the iTunes store credit we still have.
    Step 2 - Try and reauthorize the working computer - the one I'm typing on - it was authorized earlier today - until I had to unauthorize it to remove the defunct computer  with that deauthorize all button.
    Anyway the instructions to authorize/reauthorize a computer say, "Go to Store menu - then authorize this computer. " Sounds simple!
    It's at this point I'm stuck - the instructions are insufficient for me.There are no links to redirect you to the correct place to authorize your computer. It just says to go to store and authorize this computer. When I press store it's connecting me to store but I can't find anything that says authorize this computer - I can just see album covers etc. On the right I can see our account but I can't find store menu or an authorize this computer button in that either. If I click on our account it says that we have no authorized devices or computers. I'm logged into our account with the correct apple ID - otherwise I wouldn't be able to read that we have no authorized computers would I? And I've logged in and out several times and tried to refresh the page.
    Could someone please send me a link to the Store menu so I can click on the correct page then hopefully reauthorize our previously authorized computer. We are using Windows 7, but I don't know what version of itunes - it's a fairly recent version though.
    I wish they would make removing and authorizing computers easier - can't they just put a button on the main screen or something?

  • How do I authorize my new PC to purchase from itunes store? (it says go to Store menu and choose Authorize Computer but i don't see that option anywhere)

    How do I authorize my new PC to purchase from itunes store? It prompts me to go to STORE menu, then choose Authorize this Computer (which i don't see anywhere) or Advanced (which I don't see anywhere).

    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:

    I am trying to "authorize" my new computer so that I can download my previous purchases from the cloud.  It says to open iTunes and go to the STORE menu and select AUTHORIZE MY COMPUTER, but when I open iTunes there is no STORE menu.  Can anyone help?

    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.

  • HT1420 Where is Authorize This Computer?  It's not on my Store menu.

    I just loaded iTunes on a new computer running Win 8.  I can't find the menu item to authorize this computer.

    Sorry, I found the answer in another thread.  The basic instruction given by iTunes still doesn't seem correct, but Alt-S gave me the correct menu.

  • I purchased songs that are now reported as not authorized on this computer. When I authorize this computer I'm told it is already authorized. How can I access the 21 songs I purchased

    I purchased songs that are now labeled as "not authorized on this computer" and won't be sync'd to my iPod. I then go to the store icon, click on authorize this computer and am told that it is already authorized. I have another 169 or so songs I have purchased and have no problem with those. Anyone know what might be happening? I'm not really a "technocrat" so I hope there is an easy answer.
