Unable to authorize my new MacBook Pro to my iTunes account?

Greetings, I am unable to authorize my new MacBook Pro to my iTunes account? I have removed a few devices like iPads and iwatch's but it doesn't allow me to authorize this computer.

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

Curious if your experience has something to do with this:


• What happened to iTunes? - Apple Support

• Authorize or deauthorize your computer for iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support

While I see what you mean, do not have a newer macOS.

Was content migrated to include older iTunes?

Old issue, new issue, what changed?



Are you receiving an error code of some sort... what transpires when you say "doesn't allow me"

Verify you are using your same AppleID and password,


this is different than you admin account/psswd


If no resolve sign out of your Apple ID account on the Mac and back in again
