Use the same iTunes Store login credentials on the new MacBook Pro, as on the other devices, and for Home Sharing.


  • You can authorize up to 5 computers, which means that you can play your content on 5 different computers.
  • You can authorize a computer only through iTunes on that particular computer.
  • You can't authorize a computer from another computer or from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
  • You don’t need to authorize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Your iOS devices don’t use your available authorizations.
