It is not actually in the iTunes Store, it is in the Store menu of iTunes.
To authorize, go to the Store menu item on the iTunes menu bar, and choose "Authorize This Computer..." as shown below. 
If by any chance you don't see the menu bar ("File, Edit, View, Controls, Store, Help"), first enable it by using CTRL+B.

  • HT1420 WHERE IS THIS AUTHORIZE COMPUTER BUTTON IT KEEPS TALKING ABOUT IN THE DIRECTIONS UP THERE????????

    WHERE IS THE AUTHORIZE COMPUTER BUTTON THE DIRECTIONS KEEPS TELLING ME IS RIGHT ON THE ITUNES STORE PAGE BUT I CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you have iTunes 11, the menu bar is hidden. To show it, hold the Alt key, and then, choose the Store menu (on the menu bar) > Authorize this Computer.
    You can also find the iTunes Store menu by pressing the button at the top left corner of the iTunes window

    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.

    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.

  • Can't find authorize computer option in itunes store?

    Trying to add my laptop as an authorized computer but i can't find the authorize computer option in the iTunes store nor the advanced menu.  Tried to edit in account profile but that is the only setting in the account profile it won't allow me to edit.  Any suggestions or am I just simply overlooking something?

    Nevermind, i was overlooking the store option at the top of itunes menu bar not the itunes store

  • HT5610 I am having trouble authorizing my computer to allow me to access songs I have purchased through itunes on my iPad.  The directions say to select the "authorize computer" in the menu but i don't see that anywhere in the iTunes menu.  Any ideas?

    I am having trouble authorizing my computer to allow me to access songs I have purchased through itunes from my ipad.  The directions say to select "authorize this computer" from the menu in itunes but I cannot find that anywhere.  Either I'm not finding the correct menu or it's somewhere else. Any ideas?  Thank you in advance!

    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.

  • HT1420 no authorize computer option in itunes store

    i do not see the option to "authorize my computer" in the itunes store home page.  I think it could be my constant guard software hiding something, but I'm not sure.  Any ideas?

  • TS1389 iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases   How to fix?  Have removed sc info folder and adjusted user account controls per instructions

    My ITunes sore account repeatedly prompts to authorize computer.  I have deauthorized and reauthorized computer.  I only have one computer authorized.   I have changed the user account controls per instructions.  I have removed the SC Info folder per instructions for Windows 7 and nothing works.   Everything was working fine a few days ago.

    I have now checked my purchaes and when I check the video info by going to File/Get Info, I notice that some of the most recent purchases do not list my apple id whereas previous purchaes do.
    How do I correct this?

    6. I have double-checked that themusic was purchased by me by right clicking and hitting Info.
    7. I havede-authorized this PC and re-authorized (which it confirms) it to the same effect.

  • ITunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    I followed all of the instructions on this page and iTunes still won't play 3 of the 5 songs I just purchased. Each time I try to play them I get the pop-up saying that my computer isn't authorized. I put my ID and password in and it tells me my computer IS already authorized but when I try to play the song again the pop-up comes back. I'm using Windows Vista. I have only one user account and it is an administrator account. I've made sure the username matches, although I only have one username so how could it not be. I turned off and on the User Account Controls. I deleted the SC Info folder. I've sent an email to Apple but any other help in the meantime would be appreciated!

    Hello, vizords.
    Thank you for the question.  You will need to enable the menu bar in iTunes 11 so you can access the store menu which will allow you to authorize the computer.  Here are the steps on how to process this.
