How can I make iTunes authorize Audible files?

I downloaded an audio book from Audible.com to my desktop computer at home. Now I am traveling, using my wife's MBP, and have my iTunes library with me on an external drive. iTunes is pointed at that library and open. I am trying to sync my iPod Touch and in the books seciton, I have specified the audio books to be copied onot my iPod, but I get the message that “some of the Audible files were not authorized to be used on this computer.” How can I overcome this?

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2009), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

Hello bobgoldstein,

Thanks for the question.

You may need to authorize your audible account for this computer. To do so, click Store > Authorize audible account.

Many thanks! It turned out that the files I needed had been downloaded when I had a now-defunct Audible.com user name and password, and all that had to be resurrected. I will use those links, to become more familiar with these issues.
