Authorizing a computer also allows you to share your media\u00a0with other devices on your network, as long as you use the same Apple ID. Here\u2019s how to authorize a Mac, a Windows computer, and an iPhone to play iTunes store purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-nbsp-is-itunes-authorized\"><span id=\"what-is-itunes-authorized\">What&nbsp;is Itunes Authorized?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you buy or download content from iTunes, it is protected by Digital Rights Management (DRM), which ensures that the content is only accessible to those who have the necessary authorization. In other words, DRM prevents you from sharing your purchased music, movies, or TV shows with anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>iTunes Authorized refers to devices that have been granted permission to access the content you&#8217;ve purchased from iTunes. Each iTunes account can authorize up to five devices. Your computer, iPhone, iPad, iPod, or Apple TV are examples of such gadgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-is-itunes-authorization-important\"><span id=\"why-is-itunes-authorization-important\">Why is iTunes Authorization Important?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You won&#8217;t be able to access any of the stuff you&#8217;ve purchased if you use iTunes on an unauthorized device. That is why it is critical to understand which devices are approved and how to control them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, if you intend to share your iTunes library with relatives or friends, you must ensure that their devices are also authorized. You wouldn&#8217;t want to deprive them of the latest movie you just bought, would you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-you-should-know-about-computer-authorization\"><span id=\"what-you-should-know-about-computer-authorization\">What You Should Know About Computer Authorization<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>You can authorize up to five computers to play your iTunes Store purchases at the same time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Each computer you authorize counts as one authorization, even if you authorize the same computer more than once.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you have five authorized computers and want to add a new one, you must first deauthorize one of them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can only authorize a computer&nbsp;to which you have physical access. A computer cannot be authorized using another computer or an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You may authenticate your Mac through the Apple Music, Apple TV, and Apple Books apps. You can access all of your iTunes Store purchases once you authorize your Mac in one of these apps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-authorize-a-computer-for-itunes-store\"><span id=\"how-to-authorize-a-computer-for-itunes-store\">How to Authorize a Computer for Itunes Store<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You won&#8217;t be able to access your music, movies, or other stuff on iTunes if your computer isn&#8217;t authorized. The methods to authorize your computer to play your iTunes Store purchases are listed below. Users are unable to view anything purchased on iTunes until their computer is fully licensed for iTunes or Apple Music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because you can currently authorize up to five computers on iTunes, it&#8217;s equally necessary to deauthorize outdated and useless devices to make place for new ones. Another restriction is that you can only authorize the same computer&nbsp;with a separate Apple ID once every 90 days.<br>If you have iTunes downloaded and installed on your device, authorizing Windows computers is a reasonably straightforward process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1<\/strong>: Authorizing a computer is very simple. Launch iTunes after you&#8217;ve downloaded and installed the most recent version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2<\/strong>: For Windows users, open iTunes and navigate to the iTunes Store. Alternatively, you can activate the iTunes menu bar by holding down the &#8220;Control&#8221; + &#8220;B&#8221; buttons on your keyboard. Then click the Authorize This Computer button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Mac users, select Store &gt; Authorize This Computer from the menu bar at the top of your computer screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3<\/strong>: To complete the process, sign in with your Apple ID and click Authorize. Your computer will then be able to download, sync, and play the iTunes content you&#8217;ve purchased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please keep in mind that if you did not deauthorize your computer before reinstalling Windows or upgrading your RAM, hard disk, or other system components, your machine may be using several authorizations. Deauthorize your computer several times until it is no longer authorized, then authorize it again, and it will only utilize one authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-authorize-a-windows-10-computer-on-itunes\"><span id=\"how-to-authorize-a-windows-10-computer-on-itunes\">How to Authorize a Windows 10 Computer on iTunes<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Open the iTunes app and select Account from the menu bar to enable your Windows PC to play your iTunes Store purchases. Then, on the Sign-In&nbsp;screen, enter your Apple ID and password. Then, go back to Account, hover over Authorizations, and select Authorize This Computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Launch the iTunes application on your Windows 10 computer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, select Account. This will be visible at the top of your iTunes window.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, click Sign In.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&nbsp;Sign in using your Apple ID and password.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, click Account once more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finally, select Authorizations and click Authorize This Computer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you experienced trouble authorizing your Windows computer, see the section below on how to deauthorize all of your computers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-deauthorize-your-computer-using-itunes\"><span id=\"how-to-deauthorize-your-computer-using-itunes\">How to Deauthorize Your Computer Using iTunes?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1<\/strong>: Launch iTunes on the computer\u00a0to be deauthorized. Please keep in mind that if your computer stops working or you don&#8217;t have one, you must deauthorize all computers and then reauthorize the ones you currently use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2<\/strong>: In iTunes, open the menu bar by clicking iTunes Store. Then, under Account, select Deauthorize This Computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re using a Mac, go to the menu bar at the top of your screen and select Account &gt; Deauthorize This Computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3<\/strong>: Enter your Apple ID and password when requested. Click Deauthorize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you sold or gave away a computer without first deauthorizing it, or if your computer no longer works, you must deauthorize any computers associated with your iTunes account. You can accomplish this by resetting your list of authorized iTunes computers&nbsp;in Apple&#8217;s database.<br>To deactivate all computers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Launch iTunes. Enter your Apple ID and password after clicking&nbsp;Sign In.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select Account Info from the menu by clicking your name.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Retype your password. Scroll down to the column titled &#8220;Apple ID Summary.&#8221; Click Deauthorize All to the right of Computer Authorizations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Deauthorize All button can only be used once per year. Following its use, attempt to be more cautious with your authorizations\u2014deauthorize computers before disposing of them, reinstall Windows&nbsp;or update their hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-authorize-a-mac-to-play-itunes-store-purchases\"><span id=\"authorize-a-mac-to-play-itunes-store-purchases\">Authorize a Mac to Play iTunes Store Purchases<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To play or download iTunes Store purchases, you must first authorize your computer with your Apple ID and password. (Authorization aids in the protection of the acquired items&#8217; copyrights.) You can authorize or deauthorize a computer to play your iTunes Store purchases at any time. To approve a computer, you do not need to have an Apple Music subscription.<br>Follow these procedures to authorize a Mac computer&nbsp;to play iTunes Store purchases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Start your Mac and launch iTunes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sign in with your Apple ID to iTunes. Navigate to &#8220;Account&#8221; and then &#8220;Sign In.&#8221; Enter your Apple ID and password and click &#8220;Sign In.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After signing in, return to the &#8220;Account&#8221; menu and select &#8220;Authorizations&#8221; and then &#8220;Authorize This Computer.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A dialog box will pop up, requesting your Apple ID and password. Enter the necessary information and then click &#8220;Authorize.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your Mac will now be able to play iTunes Store purchases made using your Apple ID. This procedure can be repeated for up to five computers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By authorizing your Mac, you assure that you may play any iTunes Store&nbsp;purchases&nbsp;with your Apple ID, such as music, movies, TV shows, or audiobooks. It enables you to access your purchased material from numerous devices that are linked to your Apple ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-authorize-iphone-for-itunes\"><span id=\"how-to-authorize-iphone-for-itunes\">How to Authorize iPhone for iTunes<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You do not need to undertake any specific permission steps on the iPhone itself to authorize it to use iTunes Store purchases. Instead, you must approve your computer, allowing your iPhone to view and play iTunes Store purchases. Here&#8217;s how to go about it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Open iTunes on your computer (Mac or Windows).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use the USB cord that came with your iPhone to connect it to the computer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When prompted, unlock your iPhone and select &#8220;Trust This Computer.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In iTunes, click the device icon in the upper-left area of the window.

You&#8217;ll be able to sync your iPhone with iTunes and view your iTunes Store purchases after the authorization process is complete.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By authorizing your computer, you give iTunes permission to verify your purchased content and provide you access to it on your iPhone.
