Hi there,
I have been trying to authorize my 2013 mac pro running big sur for days in apple music. It keeps telling me "There was a temporary problem completing your request. Try again later". I am trying to download music which requires an authorization. Can you help?

Q.
How many other Apple devices do you own? (you dont need to answer this in public)
I believe you can authorise upto 5 devices for use, last time I looked it was 5.
Possibly you already have 5 devices in authorisation? Maybe you have an older Mac or devices you dont use somewhere? If so you can de-authorise it so you can use the authorisation for your current Mac.
Hoping my reply helps you.
Mark.
Thanks so much for the reply Mark. Unfortunately, I only have my phone, laptop and desktop so this doesn't seem to be the issue. That aside, I previously had my desktop authorized and actually deauthorized it. When I went to reauthorize is when the trouble started. Any other ideas?
Thanks so much!

Hi, sorry for delay in replying, I recommend you contact Apple support about this.
I remember I once accidentally de-authorized my iPhone and tried to reauthorise it, turned out all I had to do was restart the phone and try again.
Often with computers, a simple reboot can be a great help. It helped with my iPhone but I'm unsure if it would work this way on a Mac. I contact Apple support for things I dont understand.
Sorry I wasnt able to help more positively, Mark.
Why is Apple Music not authorizing on my Mac Pro?
