Apple Music Windows not allowing me to Sign In

My Apple Music app on my windows laptop is not allowed me to login. I pay for a subscription, and used to be signed in. It told me to sign back in and now gives me this pop up no matter what I do.


I ran as administrator, uninstalled and reinstalled, terminate/repair in windows settings. I deleted all PCs on my phone to try to authorize, and I get the same sign in failed pop-up when i try to authorize. I don't want to have to buy a mac just to use Apple Music.

Re: Apple Music Windows not allowing me to Sign In


Seems verification fails when you try to log-in to Apple Music on the PC (after deleting PC's from iPhone):


You may want to try logging in to your online Apple Account on the PC. ie: https://account.apple.com/

You can likely get a verification code from the iPhone, to enter from the PC (so Apple can now "trust" the PC).

See how to: Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication - Apple Support


Please Note: It may take some time for the change to come into effect, (restarting can sometimes help).


Trouble-shooting if needed: If you have problems using the iTunes Store on PC - Apple Support

Once PC is ok for signing in to your Apple Account, you may want to try again:

With the Apple Music app open:

Click "Sign in" at the bottom of the sidebar

Sign in to your Apple Account
