For those of you who are new to macOS, you may be wondering how to install iTunes on your Mac. While iTunes comes pre-installed on most new Mac computers, you might need to install it if you have an older Mac or have deleted it by mistake. So, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to download and install iTunes on your Mac.
Step 1: Download iTunes
The first step in installing iTunes is to download the installer. Go to the iTunes website and click the ‘Download’ button. If your Mac is not compatible with the latest version of iTunes, you can download an older version from the Apple website.
Step 2: Open the iTunes Installer
Once the download is finished, locate the iTunes.dmg installer file in your ‘Downloads’ folder. Double-click on it to open.
Step 3: Install iTunes
A new window with the iTunes logo and an application icon will appear. Drag the iTunes icon to your Applications folder to begin the installation process.
Once the copy process is finished, iTunes has been installed on your Mac. You can launch it by double-clicking on it in the Applications folder.
Step 4: Agree to the Terms and Conditions
When you open iTunes for the first time, a window will appear asking you to agree to the terms and conditions. Click on ‘Agree’ to continue.
Step 5: Authorize Your Computer
In order to use iTunes, you need to authorize your computer. Go to the Account menu at the top of the iTunes window, then select Authorizations > Authorize This Computer.
You will then be prompted to log in with your Apple ID. If you don’t have one, click ‘Create New Apple ID’.
Once you’ve logged in, click the ‘Authorize’ button to authorize your computer.
Congratulations! You’ve successfully installed iTunes on your Mac.
