How do I authorize a new computer on iTunes?
Authorizing a new computer on iTunes is a straightforward process that allows you to sync your iTunes library with your new device. This ensures that all your music, movies, TV shows, and apps are readily available on your new computer. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you through the process.
1. Open iTunes on your new computer.
2. Click on your Apple ID in the top right corner of the screen. If you haven’t signed in yet, you will be prompted to do so.
3. Select “Account Details” from the dropdown menu.
4. Enter your Apple ID password when prompted. This step is crucial for security reasons, so make sure you have it ready.
5. Once you have entered your password, a new window will open, displaying your account information.
6. In the left sidebar, click on “Devices”.
7. You will now see a list of all the devices authorized to your account. To authorize a new computer, click on “Authorize This Computer”.
