HT1727 How do I authorize another computer?

I am asked by i-tunes store to authorize the computer I am using, which is my laptop, not my PC tower. I have purchased music and it has downloaded but I cannot get it on my PC laptop because "you must authorize this computer". I have 2 computers, the PC desktop which I have used for years with I-tunes, and now I have a laptop, too, and do not know how to "authorize this computer". Thanks. I have an I-Pad, I-phone, and am rapidly becoming an Apple addict, but still don't have the Mac.

The following document might be of some assistance:

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.

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:

HT1727 how do i authorize my computer to download my purchases from itunes?

I just received a used computer from a family member and I am attempting to set up my itunes account on it. I have already logged into my itunes account. However, when I go to download my music to the computer I receive an error message indicating that I must enable my computer to down load the selected music.

Let me google that for you

My email address has changed and when I try to play purchased songs it asks me to authorize another computer under the old email address. How do I play the music that I have purchased? My account is current with the new email address.

You may have already done this, but try de-authorizing your computer (through the iTunes:Store menu) and then re-authorizing it.

How to authorize another computer

how do I get another computer authorized to have full access. Went to store to authorize computer, entered the ID and Password and could see account info, but no music was accessible. How do I get the music to come up?

Which music ? Your own content or music in the iTunes store ?
If your own music then you need to copy it from your old computer or backup to the new computer and then add it to iTunes via File > Add Folder To Library (currently only in the US can past music purchases be re-downloaded). Copying music between computers : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
If music in the store so that you can buy it, then not all content types are available in all countries (due to things such as licensing). A full list of the types of content that are available in each country is shown on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3599 . If you are in a country where music is not available, then unfortunately you won't be able to buy music from Apple (and the terms of use of the stores state that you can only use your own country's store). Are there other music purchases download sites where you are ? Or you can copy your own CDs
