Open iTunes, go to the Store Menu, select 'Authorize This Computer' and follow the directions.
It is unwise to post your email address publicly, I will ask for it to be removed for you.

"you must authorize this computer before you can download previous purchased"
HELP!!
All my purchased music from iTunes will no longer play on my iPhone 5.
When I go to iTunes to my purchased I go to re download it all but it says “you must authorize this computer before you can download previous purchased”
I recently got a new PC which I am using but my apple ID and p/w is correct.
How do I fix it so I can re download all my purchased music???If you are using a new computer you need to authorize it.
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 just downloaded iTunes on my new PC and all the music that I have purchased through ITunes that was backed up on the cloud won't play. It is telling me I must authorize this computer before it can play pre purchased music. how do I authorize my computer to play this music?
Thank you for any assistance.Tigon's already got you covered here. But I'll chime in with some English localisation advice.
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: -

You must authorize this computer before you can download previos perchases
Your computer is not authorized keeps coming up when I am trying to down load my music on my new computer. How do I authorize my new computer, duh?
For a computer running Mac OS X, move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.
For a computer running Windows, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

I must authorize my computer before download previous purchase? what should i do next?
I just download Itunes in a "new Computer" but each song only plays for 1.30 minutes , so I understand that I have to place it i nthe cloud , when I try I git this winodw that says: you must authorize this computer before download previous purchases. Doesnt show me what do I have to do next
You can authorise your account via the Store drop-down menu at the top of iTunes (if you are using iTunes 11 on a PC then control-B should get the menus to show)
e.g.
You can't put songs into the cloud yourself unless you subscribe to iTunes Match and upload them from your computer's iTunes to it. If you want to redownload your iTunes purchased music then you might be able to via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (redownloading music isn't possible in all countries) :
Or you can copy your library from your old computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Or from your backup (File > Add To Library) -
HT201272 How do I authorize my computer to download previous purchases?
I have downloaded a few songs on another computer that is not my own. Now these songs appear on the iTunes music list on my own computer and I ould like to listen to them, but in order to do that I must download them again. However, when I try to download them, iTunes does not allow the process to begin. A window saying "Your computer is not authorized. You must authorize this computer before you can download previous purchases." So my question as stated above it how do I authorize my computer to do that??!
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
To authorize your Mac, first press Alt and S keys, so the menu bar will show up (if you are running iTunes 11). Then, go to the Store menu (on the menu bar) > Authorize this Computer -
my iPod has not been working for a month now and i was hoping that you could help me.The part where you charge and sync the iPod is not connecting.There is defiantly not the lead as we use it for the iPhone and that works please could you help!
yours sincerly
jackfromsurreyWhat I am saying is ..........
The iPhone HAS to be active making calls on the UK carrier network for the carrier to identify as "theirs" and therefore eligible for the Carrier to unlock
The way to achieve this is to use a PAYG sim making and receiving calls to establish a customer relationship with the Carrier and then follow the Carrier's process to unlock
With a PAYG it usually means adding a specified (by the carrier ) amount usually £15 /£20 depending on the carrier
This is how O2 function and according to Gemma this is how Vodafone work -
hello im trying to unlock my ipod and its not letting me do this its saying that i have to connect to itunes and i did that so is there anyway you could help me please?

Please help - I'm not able to download previously purchased music
Please advice how I can download previously purchased music in iTunes. - The music icon is missing in the Purchased window.
Thanks

Previously purchased music is only available through iTunes in the Cloud in Australia, Canada, Cypress, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States
Have you not got a backup copy on, for example, an external drive or CD/DVD ? Or on an iPod, iPad or iPhone that you can connect to your computer's iTunes and do File > Transfer Purchass to copy them back from ?
