when itunes asks me to sign in, I put in the password. but then it repeatedly asks me to do the same. I have a very old mac and I am running high sierra. I just purchased a new laptop and i want to be able to sync my music.
I have noticed that old iTunes version may repeatedly ask for your Apple Account password when launching iTunes. You provide it, and the dialog annoyingly and repeatedly reappears. If that describes what you are experiencing, I suggest typing that password somewhere (locally, on your Mac, such as in the TextEdit app) cutting it, then using ⌘ V to paste it in the password field as many times as required to placate the nag. Many repeated efforts may be required. Quit the TextEdit app when you are finished (obviously) and in an overabundance of caution, copy something else to overwrite the Clipboard's previous contents first.
I suspect that iTunes is requesting authorization for each specific iTunes Store purchase you may have made using an Apple Account password that may have changed since then, but that is little more than a guess.
Just make 100% certain your Apple Account password is correct. If you repeatedly enter incorrect Apple Account credentials your digital life will become more challenging than usual... temporarily.

i am trying to coordinate my 2010 mac with my new 2025 mac. i was able to coordinate music by doing a trial of apple music. thanks for your help. i am just trying to get everything to work so i can easily transfer date between computers
Was the new laptop purchased 2nd hand? macOS High Sierra did not receive an update since 2019 and laptops newer than that do not come with that version.
