I just installed itunes on my pc.  Can't find Store menu or authorize my computer.  Help!

I have itunes on my ipad and just bought a new PC laptop with Windows 7.  I have already downloaded itunes on my comuter, but need to authorize it.  Support says to go to Stores menu and choose authorize my computer.  Problem is....I can't find the Stores menu with that option. 

The stores menu is at the very top Along with
File, Edit, View, Controls, Store, Window, Help
You want Store > Authorise this computer.
It is not inside the iTunes Store

  • HT1420 The instructions on how to authorize a computer need links. I can't find store menu and I can't find authorize this computer.

    Hi - Does someone know how to authorize a computer so it will play the songs you've bought from iTunes? I've wasted nearly two hours trying.  It all began when I tried to remove a previously authorized computer which broke down years ago.
    Step 1 - Log in with apple ID, go into account and click the deauthorize computers button (that's what they tell you to do if you can't connect the broken computer to deauthorize it).  I managed that. 
    Result - Now it says I have no authorized computers. Fair enough.  Except I'm trying to reauthorize the one and only working computer we own so it plays the music we've previously bought, and so we can use the iTunes store credit we still have.
    Step 2 - Try and reauthorize the working computer - the one I'm typing on - it was authorized earlier today - until I had to unauthorize it to remove the defunct computer  with that deauthorize all button.
    Anyway the instructions to authorize/reauthorize a computer say, "Go to Store menu - then authorize this computer. " Sounds simple!
    It's at this point I'm stuck - the instructions are insufficient for me.There are no links to redirect you to the correct place to authorize your computer. It just says to go to store and authorize this computer. When I press store it's connecting me to store but I can't find anything that says authorize this computer - I can just see album covers etc. On the right I can see our account but I can't find store menu or an authorize this computer button in that either. If I click on our account it says that we have no authorized devices or computers. I'm logged into our account with the correct apple ID - otherwise I wouldn't be able to read that we have no authorized computers would I? And I've logged in and out several times and tried to refresh the page.
    Could someone please send me a link to the Store menu so I can click on the correct page then hopefully reauthorize our previously authorized computer. We are using Windows 7, but I don't know what version of itunes - it's a fairly recent version though.
    I wish they would make removing and authorizing computers easier - can't they just put a button on the main screen or something?

  • HT1420 I can't find the "store menu" to authorize a computer

    I am trying ot authorize a computer.  Apple support states:
    Authorizing and deauthorizing a computer allows you to manage which computers can sync or use apps, audiobooks, books, music, movies, or other content you've purchased from the iTunes Store.
    You can use or sync your purchases from the iTunes Store on up to five different computers (these can be any mix of Macintosh or Windows-compatible computers). When you sync or play an item you've purchased, your computer is "authorized" for purchase using your Apple ID.
    Notes:
    In order to enable Home Sharing, Automatic Downloads, or downloading of past purchases, your computer must be authorized for use with your Apple ID.
    Songs you encode in AAC format from a source other than the iTunes Store, such as your own audio CDs, and iTunes Plus content (music and music videos) do not need to be authorized.
      To authorize a computer using your Apple ID 
    Open iTunes
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer. (In earlier versions of iTunes, access this option from the Advanced menu).
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.
    I can't locate this menu. HELP.

    Thank you King_Penguin, your answer solved this issue for me
    I guess to access that menu bar, a person will always have to us Alt-S, since it's now associated with the Store, and not with the player, in Preferences, as it was before.
    Thanks again

  • HT1420 How do you do this?  From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer. there is no option to Authorize This Compyter from the iTunes "store"!!!???

    How do you do this?  From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer. there is no option to Authorize This Compyter from the iTunes "store"!!!???

    If the computer's running Mac OS X, move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store, and choose Authorize this Computer.
    If the computer's 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.

  • HT204074 I need to authorize my new computer to play previous purchases from itunes, I have read the support but can not find store menu topic

    I am having a hard time authorizing my new computer for previous purchases on itunes.  The support suggestion to go to store menu and select authorize is not materializing anything even remotely similiar.  At the store I only see advertisement and topics at the bottom.  Can anyone guide me thru this, it really should be easier.

    If the computer's running Mac OS X, move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store, and choose Authorize this Computer.
    If the computer's 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 can't find the menu to deactivate a computer and activate another one, as it tells me to do in the support page

    the help page tells me to go to itunes store menu and find the deactivate button, but I  can't find the menu, how do I get to it?

    At the top of iTunes (the program not the store screen) do you not have a Store menu, alongside File , Edit , View etc ? There should then be De-Authorise This Computer option below it :

  • Installed Itunes 10.2.1, can't find library & won't recognize mobile device

    I installed the update to 10.2.1 ( not sure why, everything was working just fine) and it gave me an error message that it could not find the library itl. file and was in a music folder location. So, I uninstalled and reinstalled etc. Itunes is working fine now (I think). I thought I had it working and now it will not recognize my mobile device automatically. If I open itunes it will recognize my ipod but will not start automatically as checked. I have done all of the steps on the support website as per uninstalling/reinstalling and starting/stopping/starting mobile support programs and it still will not automatically start when I plug my ipod in. This would not be a big deal but the program I am using to add my library from my ipod onto my itunes will not work unless the mobile support system recognizes the device without prompt. As afore mentioned I had to wipe my old library and this is the best way to restore all of my playlists etc. because my music files did not save playlists. HELP!

    OK - pretend I never asked.  I just closed iTunes, disconnected the iPhone, reconnected it and hey presto, it all works again.  I note, however, that it re-installed the USB device driver software when I plugged the iPhone back in.  When I restarted the PC after installing the latest iTunes, I left the phone plugged in, which I guess was the cause.
    Do I get points for answering my own question?

  • I just installed Lion OSX. Where can one find the "domain" for iWeb?

    With Snow Leopard one could find the "domain" for one's iWeb in Admin+Library+application support+iWeb. When one changed computers, one simply had to save this domain and then put it in the right place in the new computer. Things have changed with Lion OSX - and I can't find the "domain" for my web site.
    Anyone know where to look (Scripts?)
    Thanks,
    T...

    The reason Apple has hidden the User/Library folder is that there is not longer any reason to get into it what with iWeb (and iDVD) being discontinued and no longer supported. 
    We now know iWeb, and iDVD, have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    If a site is published  to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client to an ftp server subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed will be broken.  If published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    The iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD.

    How do you add musci to the Iphone?  I just installed itunes 11.1.5.5.  Now the format in Itunes is changed.  when I am trying to add music to my iphone, there is no longer an add button under the Iphone device.  Why did they have to change this?  Can anyone help, Im tryiong to add music.

    Correct.  When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box.  This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing. 
    You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands.  It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
    10.6 software is not downloadable.  You must purchase a DVD disc.  You can order it from the on-line apple store

  • I've just installed iTunes on my Windows 8.1 (64-bit) laptop, but i can't open it. It keeps telling me that Apple application was not found. What should i do now?

    I've just installed iTunes on my Windows 8.1 (64-bit) laptop, but i can't open it. It keeps telling me that Apple application was not found. What should i do now?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if AAS won't install normally.
