Q: Why can't I find the menu bar when I open iTunes on my Windows 8 lap top

I have downloaded some music in iTunes on my iPod Touch [version 8.1.2]. I noticed that the iTunes also appears on my Windows 8 laptop and when I sign in the music I purchased appears but I cannot download it because the computer is, "not authorised". My account details show that 3 devices are connected to iTunes. I checked on Google how to authorize a computer and it says: choose store > authorize this computer from the menu bar but I cannot find a menu bar. Can anyone please tell me what to do?

A:

The Menu bar is off by default. Use Ctrl + B to activate the menu bar. You will then see Store, and be able to select Authorize This Device.

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.

Thank you very much for your quick reply. Actually at about the same time as your response I saw a similar question and answer posted last January. I pressed the alt key and this worked. I think your method would probably have had the same result. Thank you again.
