There can be several reasons why Apple Music keeps asking for authorization on your computer. One common reason is when you have corrupt or incomplete copies of the tracks you’re trying to play. This can happen if the files were not properly downloaded or if they have become corrupted over time.
To resolve this issue, you can try deleting the tracks that won’t play from your library. However, it’s important to note that you should not hide them from your purchase history. Hiding them would only remove them from your view, but they would still be associated with your account and could cause authorization issues in the future.
To delete the tracks without hiding them, you can follow these steps:
1. Open iTunes on your computer.
2. Go to your library and locate the tracks that won’t play.
3. Right-click on the track and select “Delete from Library.” This will remove the track from your library, but it will still be visible in your purchase history.
4. After deleting the tracks, try downloading them again from the iTunes Store.
5. When prompted, authorize your computer using your Apple ID and password. This should ensure that your computer is authorized for the newly downloaded tracks.
If you continue to experience authorization issues, you can also try deauthorizing your computer and then reauthorizing it. This can help refresh the authorization settings and resolve any underlying issues. Here’s how you can do it:
1. Open iTunes on your computer.
2. Go to the “Account” tab in the menu bar and select “Authorizations.”
3. Click on “Deauthorize This Computer” and enter your Apple ID and password when prompted.
4. Once the computer is deauthorized, go back to the “Account” tab and select “Authorizations” again.
5. This time, click on “Authorize This Computer” and enter your Apple ID and password.
6. After authorizing your computer, try downloading the tracks again and see if the authorization issues are resolved.
In some cases, the authorization issues may be caused by a glitch in the Apple Music system. If none of the above solutions work, you can try signing out of your Apple ID in iTunes and then signing back in. This can help refresh the connection between your computer and your Apple ID, potentially resolving any authorization issues.
The repeated requests for authorization on your computer can be frustrating, but by following these steps and troubleshooting methods, you should be able to resolve the issue and enjoy your Apple Music without any interruptions.
