Music app "Authorization"

Mac OS Catalina, Music app wants authorization before playing some older songs, in spite of already being fully authorized. Shows an old email address that I changed years ago as the account name. This never happened in Mojave.

Good afternoon Todd Templeton,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!


I understand you updated to macOS Catalina, and the Music app is not showing the Apple ID that you were using for the iTunes Store and your personal music library. Does your personal library show all of the music that you had previously? If so, try the steps below:


  1. Sign out of your account.
  2. Quit the Music application and restart your computer.
  3. Sign in with your current Apple ID.
  4. Try to play the same song and one or two other older songs to see if the issue persists.


What happened to iTunes?

Sign in with your Apple ID

Authorize or deauthorize your computer for iTunes Store purchases


Please reply to this thread if the issue persists after trying the steps above, and I'll do my best to help you with this!


Take care.
