- 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.
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.
