Authorize your computer in iTunes

Learn how to authorize your computer in iTunes before you use it to sync or play content that you download from the iTunes Store.

When you authorize your Mac or PC, you give it permission to access your apps, audiobooks, books, music, movies, and other content.

You can authorize up to 5 computers, which means that you can play your content on 5 different computers.

You can authorize a computer only through iTunes on that particular computer.

You can't authorize a computer from another computer or from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Perform this through iTunes on your computer (Mac or PC). Authorize your computer, and then verify that it your computer is listed. Be certain you have the updated to the latest version of iTunes. Note that you must be in an allowable location to access and authorize your device. So, if you are not in the correct location, then you cannot not access your Apple Account nor iTunes, therefore not authorize your device.
