I have started a free trial for Apple on my Mac. When I try to open it on my TV, gives me the option of scanning a code (from where?) or opening it on my I-phone. I want to open it on my streaming services on my TV. How do I do that??

If you select the "Scan code" option, your Tv will present a QR code on screen you can scan with your iPhone to link your Apple ID and by extension the subscription.


There should also be an option to sign in directly on the TV as well labeled as "On this Tv". You can use that to manually enter your Apple ID and password using the Tv's remote and onscreen keyboard.
