Question

Im getting a computer is not authorized message. I set up family sharing and it says I must authorize the computer from the store menu before you can download previous purchases.

I setup family sharing. I'm trying to allow my daughter to download music. She can see the music that I have under my apple id. However, when she attempts to download, she gets a you must authorize this computer from the Store men before you can download previous purchases message. Can you help me figure out how to do this?

For a computer running Mac OS X, move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

For a computer running Windows, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.
