how do i authorize a new iphone with my itunes library

I have an iMac and I am trying to associate a new iPhone 6 to our iTunes library. I only show 4 devices associated so far. What is the sequence required to associate and begin sharing the iTunes content?


Thank you,


Chris

iPhone 6

Hi athenaw,



Great question! The following resource outlines the situations where your Apple ID will be associated with a device:


Manage your associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support

When you turn on iTunes Match, Family Sharing, or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, that device becomes associated with your Apple ID. You can associate your Apple ID with up to 10 devices, with a maximum of 5 computers at any time. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. You don't need to authorize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
