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've downloaded ADE 4.0.3, apparently successfully, and I 'Close the 'Completed' window. But, when I attend to run the program, I get an hourglass for about 2 seconds and then ... ... nothing! Clearly I can't authorize my computer for download. Ideas?

Try restarting your machine and Launch ADE again

Authorization and Deauthorization
See iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization for Macs.
See How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld for Windows.
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.
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.

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'm trying to authorize my computer for downloading purchases, but when I follow instructions to "Store" and look for menu to choose "authorize, I'm lost. Would someone take the time to direct me?

The Store menu is at the top of your screen in the iTunes window.
Click Store / Authorize This Computer

No one stated it was in the iTunes window.
However, it is in iTunes for Windows.
I see that mac does not work like windows. Windows the file menu bar is in the itunes window itself. On mac the file menu bar is on the top of your screen
Correct
(on my laptop and the itunes of course is being viewed on my monitor.
Not really "of course". No one was aware you are using two screens and you did not mention you were new to Mac from Windows.
Is there a setting to have the menu bar with my itunes window?
Only if you rewrite Mac OS and iTunes for Mac.

I'm getting this error message "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPod '___'s iPod.' Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?" I have authorized the computer.

I just purchased songs on itunes, I can play them on my windows 7, but when I try to sync the ipod, I get the error "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items on "Stephanie's ipod" Would you like to authorize this computer for purchases from the itunes store. When I authorize it, it says it is already authorized. Then the process starts all over again. Help.

You can't change the Apple ID that the Authorize dialog comes up with by default. It's showing you that Apple ID for a reason: it means that the items you want to play were purchased using that Apple ID and therefore you need to authorize your computer with that Apple ID. Changing the Apple ID given completely defeats the entire purpose.
If you don't know the password to the given Apple ID, then you will no longer be able to play those items.

HT1386 Hello, When trying to sync, I get the following message. This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the iPhone "Terri George's iPhone". Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?

while trying to sync with my iphone I recieve the message: This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the iPhone “Terri George’s iPhone”. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store? When I put in my password and hit authorize, I get a message telling me there was an unknown error (-50). Would love to sync today. Any help would be appreciated.

The -50 error is documented in this article:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
Here is a synopsis:
Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

Cannot Authorize My Computer for iTunes

Hello, I hope you are well.
I am running Windows 7 and have been using iTunes on this computer for about two years. About two weeks ago, all of the songs I have purchased from iTunes (a few hundred) could not be played because this computer is no longer authorized for some reason. When I check my account, there is only one computer authorized to play the songs, which is the computer I am on.
Whenever I start up iTunes, it says that "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPod "Victor's iPod". Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?" I, of course, try to authorize it, but after entering my username and password (both of which I am completely certain is correct), I get the message "We could not complete your iTunes store request. An unknown error occurred (-42408)."
I have tried every day for the last two weeks using four different Internet connections. Once, and only once, I actually didn't get that message, so I thought my problems had disappeared. However, the next time I plugged in my iPod and started up iTunes again, the same issue returned.
I have spent at least four hours searching for answers in this forum and on Google.com, and have tried approximately 14 suggestions, from minor ones to major ones. Unfortunately, it looks like there are thousands of people with this exact same issue, and although some suggestions have worked for some, a lot of people are still experiencing problems.
Any thoughts on what I can do? Thanks.

Eject your ipod in itunes.
Then uncheck this box
the itunes menu > Devices tab
"Prevent ipods and iphones from syncing automatically"
Restart itunes, connect your ipod, and press the sync button.

Where can I find iTunes download for Windows 7 Starter?

Hi, Where can I find iTunes download for Windows 7 Starter?

There is no version of iTunes specifically for the Starter edition of Windows. You can try the standard iTunes installation:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
but verify that your computer meets the minimum system requirements first. Many devices that come with Starter such as netbooks do not, particularly the screen resolution.
Regards.
