Look at the top if your computer screen for the word Store - in the same line as File View, etc
Click it.

HT1420 Where can I find the button from the store menu that says "Authorize this Computer"?
I looked up how to authorize a computer and I found the answer, but I can't find the button that says Authorize this computer!
"It is not actually in the iTunes Store, it is in the Store menu of iTunes."
Yeah, that makes PERFECT sense! /sarcasm
Not in the iTunes store, dummy, it's in the Store menue of iTunes.
ED2345, I'm not making fun of you; Apple should be clarifying this stuff on their help pages!!!
The Apple help site says nothing like this; it simply says to go to the Store and select "Authorize this computer". Had it not been for ED2345 mentioning the CTRL+B trick, I probably would NEVER have found it.
Why can't Apple quit moving stuff around in iTunes? Just when I think I have things figured out, an update comes along and EVERYTHING IS IN A DIFFERENT PLACE!
I love my iPhone and my iPad - but I truly despise iTunes for this reason.
So I simply say to Apple, "STOP 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. -

Windows Server 2012 R2 - ALL HF's Failing to install as "Does Not Apply to this computer"
Hi,
A general question about hot fix installs.
I have multiple servers that are all Windows 2012 R2. They do not have internet connections, so I have to install the Hotfixes manually. I download the HF's from the ISO download page (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/913086) every month. I collect them and install in a bulk install during a release cycle ( a couple times a year). I just realized that NO HF's have installed since JUNE 2014. Every HF that shows up in WindowsServer2012R2 directory fail to install with a message of "The update is not applicable to your computer". Which is fine if that was true, but.... I get this message for every HF from the ISO's since June 2014. NOT one HF thinks it is applicable to my computer. Could that be the case? No HF's apply to my Server 2012 systems since June of 2014?
This is my system info, and below that is the results from attempting to install 95 HF's.

When syncing app, a window pops up saying to authorize this computer, When I authorize the computer, I am told it already is authorized. Then the same window pops up again. Is there a cache that can be emptied or what can I do to sync my ipad. Thanks
Deauthorizing won't delete anything, and all your purchased content is safe. You will just have to reauthorize any of the other computers that get deauthorized along with your computers old machine id.
To get your purchased content back on that computer, just use iTunes to redownload it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US). Of course, music you ripped from CD or got from another source you'll need to copy those files back over. -

Itunes update does not correct the "this computer is not authorized...
What's going on with this message "this computer is not authorized to play this music". Very frustrating. The work around offered here just seem too much for a simple program.
Does this appear for a large number of songs? If not, and the songs remain available in the iTunes Store for purchase, delete them from your iTunes Library and download them again. You won't have to pay for anything you already purchased. See Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
It is possible to have authorized a single computer more than once, which may explain the problem. To fix that, select "Deauthorize This Computer..." from the iTunes Store menu, then immediately deauthorize again, then repeat, and continue to repeat, until the message "This computer was not authorized..." appears.
Then, authorize.
If none of this works contact iTunes Store Support. -
ITunes does not recognize iPod but computer does
I just bought an iPod and I can't get the iTunes to recognize the iPod, however, it appears in windows. When I open iTunes it says that I need to download the updater but I have already done that. I've read the support pages apple had provided and have done everything they have said to do but it still does not work.
I bought one a week before this and it worked but the battery did not last so I traded it in for this one. So I know my computer and iTunes is capable of working, just not the iPod.
If anyone has any reasons for this, please let me know. I would appreciate it greatly.Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you seen this?

Please help me out guys.
Itunes has updated and now it wont play my purchased items because this computer isnt authorised.
I no longer own the other computers that I have authorised, so I'm not too sure how I get to start again.
Very frustrating, listening to one song and then it stops, because its not authorised to play the next song.

Iv contacted apple and have even taken to ipd into the store but they were no help. my friend had experienced the same thing and said she tried for a year until one day her computer just decided to read her ipod. can somebody help me.........

I had to reinstall itunes and now when I plug in my ipod itunes does not automatically open to my library or where I can access the itunes store. What do I do now?
Open iTunes and connect your iPod. Select your iPod in iTunes from the Source list. (I'm assuming this still works, although you didn't indicate if it did or didn't.) Make sure the box is checked to Open iTunes when this device is connected. You should be all set!

Absolutely useless!!!! clicked on store to authorize my computer and I DO NOT SEE "Authorize this computer" anywhere. Not going to purchase songs using itunes anymore. Whats the point when I cant transfer them.
You are looking at the Store drop-down menu at the top of iTunes (on a PC with iTunes 11 press alt-S and the Store drop-down should appear) ? e.g.
