HT202662 Authorizing my windows computer for iTunes

When I press "alt" in order to bring up the correct menu to authorize iTunes on my windows computer I get a bar at the top of the computer saying, "Turning on iTunes menu for windows 8 and 7 - iTunes - internet explorer" but nothing ever happens....no menu appears.  I have also tried pressing control B with no result  How the heck to I authorize my computer???  Thx for any help.

You need to be in the iTunes application when you do that.

    Media is only where you put it.
    Did you copy or move the media from the old computer to the new computer?

  • Authorizing a second computer for itunes account

    I have a new iPhone. I already have an existing iTunes account on my home PC. I want to be able to access this account from my iPhone, but I can't. Do I have to authorize a new computer on this account? If so, how do I do that?

    Let me ask: is your home PC the main computer you use to synchronize your iPhone? The reason I ask is that your main sync computer must use the same iTunes account that you want to use on your iPhone, to download music, apps, etc.
    If it is not, then do the following on your iPhone's main computer:
    Open iTunes. On the menu bar, select the "Store" menu, and select "Authorize Computer..." This will open a dialog box asking you to enter your Apple ID and password - in this case, enter the Apple ID that you normally use on your home PC. That will authorize the second computer to use the account, provided that the particular Apple ID has not been previously authorized on five computers.
    If you DO use your home PC to sync your iPhone, I think a little more information would be needed. What specifically is preventing you from accessing that particular account on your iPhone?

  • HT1420 I recently got a new operating system on my two-year old windows computer, but itunes says that I need to authorize my computer and I already have authorized five computers.  I think I should deauthorize all but does that deauthorize my ipad and ip

    I recently had a new operating system installed on my two-year old windows computer.  iTunes wants me to authorize my computer (again) and then says that I already have five computers authorized.  Should I deauthorize all?  Would that affect my iPad and iPhone?  I may have old, non-functioning computers that are still authorized and should be removed. 

    Your past purchases are not on the computer.   By choosing download all, those purchases will download to the computer. 
    Once authorized to your iTunes account you can control the computer.
    When syncing the iPad the first time you will get the warning " this iPad is synced with another computer, syncing will erase all contents and replace with the contents of this computer"
    Say yes, this is what you wan to do.

  • Unable to authorize This Computer for iTunes

    About 8 months ago I installed iTunes on one of my desktops (Windows) and setup the store access and actually purchased the OS update for my iTouch. Yesterday I purchased an iPad for my wife and started to set it up on her laptop. I've installed iTunes 9.1 and attempted to "Authorize This Computer" for iTunes purchases, I also attempted to do this on my laptop (both are running Win7 x64). Per the iTunes screen an email was sent to my account but I never receive it. Prior to the attempt to authorize the two computers from my wife's laptop I issued a request to reset my password. This email I received and reset the password. I then received a confirmation email that the password was reset.
    Why cannot I receive the emails to authorize my two laptops?

    In the iTunes window click on Store > Authorize This Computer
    In the "Authorize This Computer" I enter my email and password, click on the "Authorize" button.
    A new window pops up title "You have not verified your account", Click OK to review the instructions on how to verify your account.
    I click on the OK button and then the iTunes main window informs me that an email as been sent to my account and it displays my email address.
    I never receive the email and I have zero idea what to do at this point.
    The link you provided is about "Authorizing a computer allows you to manage which computers can play music, videos, audiobooks, or other content purchased from the iTunes Store" - This sounds like what I want to do but I cannot authorize either my computer or my wife's computer. At this point nether of us have or can purchase anything using my iTunes account.
    At this point I'm totally confused and upset and very close to returning the **** iPad. I thought this was going to be a simple process but it is turning into a can of worms.
    What I'm attempting to do is have one iTunes store account where either myself or my wife can purchase.

  • 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.

    I recently bought an Ipod touch 2nd gen, (Ebay). It's in great shape and seemed to be wiped clean.
    When I connect (via windows computer) to Itunes with usb cord the Ipod icon shows, but the only function you can do is eject. When its in the upper right hand corner and you click on it all you get is a done button, when it's in the side bar right click and your only option is eject, left click has no effect. If I go to "file">devices it's as if there are no devices connected.
    I purchased a song with Itunes on the Ipod itself, and it transferred to my library on the computer automatically .
    I have an Iphone 5 and a nano that are still functioning with Itunes thru computer so I'm thinking the issue is with the Ipod touch. I've reset it several times, rebooted it, with no change.
    nothing on the internet has helped, I called tech support and got disconnected. Should I take it to a retail store? I just don't know where to go next, I'm of course willing to pay for tech or repair. looking for suggestions.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • When ipad connected to windows computer for sync I cannot install or remove an app. Screen does not react. Also lost my app store app from the ipad screen

    when ipad connected to windows computer for sync I cannot install or remove an app. Screen does not react. Also lost my app store app from the ipad screen. IPad is ipad 2 and op system is 8.1.1. Just tried full restore and still the situation is the same.

    For the missing App Store issue, if you swiped fro screen to screen to look in other folders and didn't find it, and did a spotlight search to see which folder it is in and had no success with that, Check Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure that you didn't disable it.
    You can also reset the home screen layout and the icon will reappear - but the home screen will return to the way that it looked when you first activated your iPad.
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.
    For the syncing issue, which screen does not react, the computer and iTunes or the iPad?
