- In the authorization window, you will see the list of computers that are currently authorized to use your iPhone. To authorize a new computer, click on the “Authorize This Computer” button.
- Enter your Apple ID and password when prompted. This is the same Apple ID and password you use to purchase apps, music, and other content from the Apple Store.
- Once you have entered your Apple ID and password, your iPhone will be authorized for use with the current computer. You will see a confirmation message indicating that your iPhone is now authorized.
Now that your iPhone is authorized to your computer, you can easily sync your music, movies, and apps, as well as manage your iPhone’s settings and content. Remember, you will need to repeat this process for each computer you want to use with your iPhone.
