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.

1. On a Mac, open the Music app, Apple TV app, or Apple Books app. On a PC, open iTunes for Windows.
2. Sign in with your Apple ID.
3. In the menu bar on your Mac or PC, choose Account > Authorizations > Authorize This Computer.
   If you're asked to authorize your computer again, it won't use a new authorization. Apple ID uses the same authorization for the same computer.

See your authorized computers

To automatically sign in to your Account Information page from your computer, click here. Or follow these steps:

2. Sign in with your Apple ID.
3. In the menu bar on your Mac or PC, choose Account > View My Account.
   
4. Sign in with your Apple ID.
5. On the Account Information page, scroll to the Apple ID Summary section. You'll see the number of computers that you've authorized with your Apple ID. You can’t see the names of those computers. If you haven't authorized 2 or more computers, you won't see this section.
   

If the number of authorized computers listed is more than what you expect, you might not have deauthorized the computers that you no longer use, gave away, or sold. You need to deauthorize all of your computers and then authorize each one that you still use.
