To authorize a computer on your Apple account, you will need to have the computer’s unique identifier, also known as its UDID. You can find this identifier by launching the "Settings" app on the device and selecting "General" > "About" > "Serial Number".
Once you have the UDID, you can authorize the computer by visiting appleid.apple.com and clicking on "Manage Your Apple ID" > "Sign In" > "Authorize This Computer". Enter the UDID and click on "Continue".
You will then be prompted to enter your password and, optionally, to create a four-digit code for authorizing the computer in the future. Once the computer is authorized, you will be able to use it to access your Apple account and purchase items from the App Store, iTunes Store, and iBooks Store.
When you buy a computer, it often comes with a trial of some sort of music software. This software might be a trial of iTunes, or a trial of a music streaming service like Spotify. In order to continue using the software past the trial period, you need to authorize the computer for use with that software.
Authorizing a computer for use with music software is usually a very simple process. On iTunes, for example, all you need to do is enter your Apple ID and password. Once you’ve authorized the computer, you can use the software to listen to your music, buy music, and more.
If you’re using a music streaming service like Spotify, you’ll need to authorize the computer by entering the login details for your account. Once you’ve authorized the computer, you can use the service to listen to your music, create playlists, and more.
It’s important to note that you can only authorize a certain number of computers for use with a music streaming service. If you’ve reached the limit for your account, you’ll need to deauthorize one of your other computers.
Authorizing a computer for music software is a quick and easy process, and it’s necessary in order to use the software past the trial period. Be sure to enter your login details for your music streaming service, and authorize the computer as soon as you start using the software.

To sign in with the Apple ID that’s linked to the computer, open the iCloud preferences and enter the Apple ID and password.
