HT1420 Trying to authorize my new mac with iTunes....

I think I might have a newer version of itunes than that of the version used in apple's directions on how to authorize a computer. I do not have a store menu (or a menu bar at all along the top of my itunes.)
How do I authorize my computer?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The menu bar is at the top of the screen on a Mac.

I tried to authorize a new computer with windows 8. Per iTunes Help,there should be an "authorize computer" section on the iTunes store menu. I only have two computers authorized so I know another one is possible. Suggestions?

I tried to authorize a new computer with Windows 8 for my iTunes acct. Per iTunes Help, there is an "authorize computer" prompt in the menu selection on iTunes store website. I can find no such listing. I have two computers linked to my account so I know that adding another one would be ok. Any suggestions?

Press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer.

Hi Michael1296,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are the steps to authorize a computer in iTunes:
How do I authorize a computer?
Open iTunes on the computer you want to authorize.
Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
You might need to show the menu barto see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
If your Apple ID uses an expired MobileMe account, you can still use it to authorize your computer.
If iTunes asks you to authorize your computer again, it won't use a new authorization. iTunes uses the same authorization for the same computer.
You can find these steps and more information at this link:
Authorize your computer using iTunes
All the best,
Jeremy

How do I move library to new Mac with iTunes 8.0.2

I have a new MacBook with iTunes 8.0.2. I wish to move my iTunes library, with playlists, from my old iBook, which is running iTunes 6.0.3. The library for the old computer is stored on an external hard drive. I would like advice to accomplish this successfully.
Also, will my iPod have any problems with the new computer?
Thanks.

I'm also trying to move my music from old G4 computer (internal drive #3) to new MacPro System drive (#1). I copied all of Music Folder over to the MacPro. The songs play OK. The info for most CDs show up in the main window, but how do I get the Album list to show up on the left hand side Playlist like it did in the old computer? Many have no Album name since they are HS band recordings of my son's days in the band or songs I copied from old records. Thanks Terry

HT1420 Unable to authorize a new mac book pro

I have deauthorized a couple of the old computers that were associated with my Apple account, there are now 4 devices on the my account. Why can't is authorize my new Mack Book Pro? Especially when the account is showing me that there are only 4 devices on the account?

"This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the iPhone “John’s iPhone”. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?", at which point I ask it to authorize the Mac Book by feeding in my iTunes account password and at which point it says "You cannot authorize more than 5 computers. You have already authorized 5 computers with this Apple ID. To authorize this computer you must deauthorize one of the other computers"

HT201210 i`m trying to update my new iphon with itune. i got a worning no.14 .then i updated apple and tried again but got a massege "iphone not found".all the time there is a serial no. but it says that there is no iphone no. what am i doing wrong?

I am trying to update my new iphon 4.at first i got a massege no.14. then i updated apple &tried again but this time got a massege no iphon found. serial no.appears but not a phone no.what should i do?

Sounds like it's hardware issue. The iPhone warranty is based in the original country of purchase. Since it was bought in Korea you will need to ship the phone to someone you know in Korea to be taken in and then they will have to ship it back to you. The cost of shipping will be at your expense.

HT1420 I'm trying to authorize a new computer with an itune account, but my the computer statea that I have too many devices authorized. I only have 2 computers in my possession now. How can I deauthorize computer I don't have anymore without deauthorizin

I have recently purchased a new lap top. Both my wife and I share our Itune music. When I purchesed the computer I was able to authorize my itunes account on it and move my purchaced music over from my iphone. However, I was not able to move my wifes music over because she has too many devices authorized under her account. Most of those computers are no longer in our possession and have been thrown out. How can she deauthorzise computer we don't have in our possession anymore without deauthorizing them all?

Authorizing deauthorizing has NO effect at all on your itunes library. You lose nothing.
You should also alwasy have a backup copy.
You MUST deauthorize all.
You have the only answer there is.

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 have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

What is "Photoshop Elements Premier 12"? Do you mean Photoshop Elements or Premiere Elements? Were your files copied over from a previous mac that had PSE installed on it?
