How to authorize a Mac or PC
Before you authorize a Mac, update it to the latest version of macOS. On a PC, update to the latest version of iTunes for Windows.
- On a Mac, open the Music app, Apple TV app, or Apple Books app. On a PC, open iTunes for Windows.
- Sign in with your Apple ID.
- In the menu bar on your Mac or PC, choose Account > Authorizations > Authorize This Computer.
