Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it seems like you are trying to authorize your Mac, but you receive an error message. Take a look at the "Remove the SC Info folder" section.


If iTunes prompts you to authorize your computer when you try to play iTunes Store purchases

Hi,


This didn't work.


I am able to click on the "For You" tab and see my Apple Music friends and what they have listened to. But I cannot play any of the songs on my own. It keeps asking me to enter my Apple ID and password when I try to play a song.


Clicking on Account in Itunes shows an Apple Music subtab. Everything seems to indicate that I have signed in.
