Using my iPad and when opening ITunes, can't find the store menu to choose "authorize this computer."

I need to authorize this iPad.  Instructions say to open ITunes and from the store menu choose "authorize this computer.". Cannot find.
Thank you,
M

Use iTune on your computer. You authorize the computer not the iPad.

  • 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!!!"

  • HT1420 Feeling really stupid with my new MAC - I can't find the "Store" menu in iTunes as referenced in the support article on how to authorize a computer.  Where is that menu option?  I've looked all over the page, in my account, etc.

    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 can't find the "store menu" on iTunes to authorize my computer

  • 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

  • I still can't find the "Store" menu!

    One song was "corrupted" while it was downloading so I have to re-download it. I tried the re-downloading it which brought up an error dialog box telling me to use the "Check for Available Downloads" option from the "Store" menu. For some reason, I can't seem to find this god-forsaken menu!
    I've only managed to find "iTunes Store" which doesn't lead me to the "Check for available downloads" option.
    I must be blind or something.

    Hi Echelon_Killjoy,
    You know those times when you are looking for something that's right in front of you? Well, this is one of those times.
    Nomatter where you are on iTunes, there is always a sidebar on the left and down the side are a list of words:
    LIBRARY
    Music
    Rentals
    Movies
    TV Shows
    Radio
    STORE'***'
    iTunes Store
    iTunes Match
    Purchased
    Downloads'!!!'
    SHARED
    Home Sharing
    GENIUS
    Genius
    Then it continues to list the playlists, etc. The 'Store' menu I have marked with three stars '***'
    Under 'Store' click on downloads, which I marked '!!!'.
    On that page, you will find a botton labelled, 'Check for Available Downloads.'
    And that's it! There you have it! Sorry to make you feel blind, by the way.
    Good Luck! I hope I helped!

    Pay no attention to iinami, the amount of replies to people saying their handsets must have been jailbroken everytime iTunes throws out an error is tremendous. (Clearly you don't need to have any real knowledge to get to level 3 on these forums, let's hope apple's geniuses know a lot more than some of their customers.)

    Solution below.
    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • I have downloaded, extracted and installed Elements 12 but it will not open nor can I find the Adobe file in the file where I installed it to..  When I've tried to download and install again

    I have downloaded, extracted and installed Elements 12 but it will not open nor can I find the Adobe file in the file where I installed it to..  When I've tried to download and install again it says that the "Object Already Exists."  It may exists, but it is not visible in the file or in my list of programs on the Startup Menu.

    You should not have to uninstall Premiere Elements 12/12.1 in order to install and run Premiere Elements 13 on the same computer unless your computer is overloaded and the computer resources are compromised. Just use one program at a time.
    Can you still use 12/12.1 on this same computer that will not let you use 13?
    What specific Window operating system are you using?
    Let us go through the usual drill...
    1. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    2. Are you using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
    3. Did you install the program with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    4. Disable the SLCache Folder found in Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit
    Local Disk C
    Program Files (x86)
    Common Files
    Adobe
    and in the Adobe Folder should be the SL Cache Folder that you delete or disable by renaming the Folder
    from SLCache to SLCacheOLD.
    5. Are you running the program as Administrator and is the latest version of QuickTime installed on the same
    computer as Premiere Elements 13?
    Let us start here and then decide what next.
    Thank you.

    Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
    I found the answer to my question.
    When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer.

  • Ive changed my apple id. in my iPad and iPhone under iTunes it's showing the new id but under iCloud still shows old I'd. I have been told to delete account and add in new one but worried in case lose all my stuff that's already saved in iCloud. any idea?

    If all you did was rename your ID, you can go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with your renamed ID.  Deleting the account only deletes the account and any data you are syncing with iCloud from your phone, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
    If, however, you are changing to a new account with a new ID, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted.  Then choose Merge when you sign into the new account and turn your iCloud syncing back on to upload your data to the new account.
    Before deleting the account, save you photo stream photos to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).

  • Since upgrading iMac to osx lion I have been experiencing problems in mail, it spontaneously stops receiving and tells me it can't find the pop server and also the biggest problem is that when I send with an attachment the recipient doesn't receive it.

    Since upgrading iMac to osx lion I have been experiencing problems in mail, it spontaneously stops receiving and tells me it can't find the pop server and also the biggest problem is that when I send with an attachment the recipient doesn't receive it.
    I have to restart mail most times before it starts recieving or recognizes the pop server.
    As I said a lot of recipients do not recieve my mails when there is an attachment or when I reply to their email.
