HT1420 Unable to reauthorise my home computer in iTunes...

I had to deauthorise this computer and my work computer in iTunes because my work computer died.  Now I am trying to reauthorise my home computer again under "my account".  The option to authorise this computer is not available.  How can I do this??  Any help is greatly appreciated. 

Authorising/unauthorising doesn't appear under your account, you do it via the Store drop-down menu (if you are on iTunes 11 on a PC then alt-S should open the menu) e.g. on a Mac :

  • I have a new computer and I want to make it my home device for I tunes. I have home sharing, and all of the music and files are on the new computer. Now what do I do to make the new computer the home computer for Itunes?

    I have a new computer and I want to make it my home device for I tunes. I have home sharing, and all of the music and files are on the new computer. Now what do I do to make the new computer the home computer for Itunes?

    The computer (windows platform) where I initially began using Itunes has four other computers/devices that are shared with it. All four of the other computers show up in my account, and can be managed. Or I can remove them. But on the new computer that I want to be my base computer (home if you will). The computer I want it to replace, when ITunes is open, has a tool bar, with various functions. All of the other devices are linked to that computer in ITunes, under Home SHaring. The new computer, shows the downloads via Home Sharing, but it does not show/have any tool bar.
    I want to activate the new computer to be the computer via ITunes where all of the devices are linked to it as the base for ITunes. And, I don't know how to make that happen.
    I hope that makes sense.

  • HT1420 Unable to find "Authorize this Computer"

    I am unable to find Authorize this Computer under the Store menu.  Please help.

    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:

  • Unable to Turn on Home Sharing after iTunes upgrade

    After the latest iTunes upgrade onYosemite, I get an 'Unable to Turn on Home Sharing' error on my 2 Apple TVs plus iPhone and iPad.  Previously, I had no problem.  I have restarted and reset my iTune on my MacBook plus all the devices now receiving an error message and the inability to utilize Home Sharing.
    I can send videos to my Apple TVs from my MacBook through AirPlay, so this is not a network error.

    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    Don't forget that if you haven't already done so you need to change the update preference to "Manually manage music and videos" if you want to safely connect and use an iPod on your two computers. Also when using most of the utilities listed above your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default.:
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing content manually on iPod
    iPod 101: Fill 'er Up
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod

    Yes, on the right side of the U.K. Apple Store homepage there will be an "Education Store." You can get something like 10% off, it seems.

    I can not deauthorise my computer . Itunes store issue " Can not deauthorise " I think i chose some wrong items . Please help me !

    click on the store tab on the top left of iTunes.  Scroll to where it says "Authorize this computer...".  Click on that and enter your apple id and password then click authorize.  The reason iTunes says that your computer needs to be authorized is because it is to be sure that iTunes knows can trust your new computer

  • 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 Can Not Authorize a new computer on iTunes

    Hi all,
    I have de-authorized two of the possible five devices on iTunes.  I am attampting to authorize a Dell Laptop computer, but it keeps telling me that I must deauthorize another device.   I have exited the program and re-opened it, but it made no difference.  Likewise, I've rebooted the system but still no change.  Any ideas??

    Open iTunes...  
    If you're using iTunes 11 click on the box icon in the top-left corner to see the " Show Menu Bar "  
    and from the Menu Bar select Store...
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.

  • Since I downloaded the most recent version of iOS, my iPad and iPhone do not have all the music (from CD's) anymore that I have on our home computer iTunes Library.  How can I get all our music onto the music libraries on the iPhone and iPad? Thanks!

    Hi
    Since we downloaded the latest version of iOS on our iPad and iPhone, and synchronized our music collection in the Cloud, we can no longer see on our iPad and iPhone the music from our CD's that we have on our home computer's iTunes library.  We can only see music in the iPhone and iPad library that have been purchased on iTunes.  How can we get all our music from our computer's iTunes librbary visible on the iPhone and iPad?  Thanks, Nick

  • Help combining music files from work computer, home computer and iPhone

    When I connect my iPhone to my home computer, iTunes won't let me transfer the songs on my iPhone onto my home computer's iTunes without overwriting everything on my home's iTunes. The songs were placed on my iPhone using my work computer's iTunes. Any suggestions on how to get all my music that is on my work computer and on my iPhone onto my home computer without wiping out my home computer's music library?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    You should be able to connect your iPhone to your home computer and use *File > Transfer Purchases from Paul's iPhone* to copy any iTunes Store purchases you made at work or directly on the iPhone into your home iTunes library. This transfer should only add items to your iTunes library and not delete anything.
    Working in the other direction, iTunes to iPhone (& iPod Touch?), will remove all existing media and replace it with whatever local content you wish to place on it. In contrast to other iPods this happens even if you choose to manually manage the content. I.e. at the time you want to edit the content every file that you want on the iPod must be present and accessible in the local library.
    The most obvious way not to get caught out is to have a complete backup that you could restore in the event of a disaster. A small USB host-powered external drive is ideal for this. I use SyncToy 2.1, a free tool from MS to manage the backups. This can copy your entire iTunes library & any other media folders onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the changed files will be copied saving lots of time.
    It's not documented or supported, but I have found that if you use the same set of files (kept in sync with SyncToy) on two different machines the iPod/iPhone sees each as it's "home" library and will let you sync content from it without wiping and reinstalling everything. Obviously to perform such a trick you first have to merge your existing libraries and take care of shuffling the content back and forth but it does have a few advantages. First content can be added to the iPhone where you happen to be at the time, second you end up with multiple copies of your library for backup. Given that you can even load an iTunes library directly from an external drive you can actually manage the library or iPhone from any machine running the same version of iTunes. The main drawback with the scheme is that you may at times make independent updates to different copies of the library. I use iTunes Folder Watch occasionaly to scan my library folders for any new additios or missing items that arise from asynchronous edits.
