Apples blocks download of itunes purchases

.'You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 85 days.'
After temporarily switching the Apple ID, I received this message when switching back to the original Apple ID and try to download purchased material.
What can be done about this?
Many thanks in advance for any help.

  • HT5731 how do i download a itunes purchased movie onto a flash drive

    HOW DO I DOWNLOAD AN ITUNES PURCHASED MOVIE ONTO A FLASH DRIVE

    If you want to back it up to the flash drive, download it normally, locate the downloaded file, and drag it there.
    If you want the active iTunes library on the drive, locate it in the Finder or Windows Explorer, drag it there, launch iTunes with the Option(Mac OS X) or Shift(Windows) keys held down, and point it there.

  • How can I download previous iTunes purchases onto a new iPod using someone else's computer?

    Hi,
    I've brought an ipod shuffle and need to download my itunes purchases but I don't have access to my own computer for another couple weeks.  How can I download from itunes?  I'm getting a message that the friend's computer I'm using can't use a different apple ID for 90 days - I'll be long gone by then and back with my own computer!!!
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Multiple people can indeed use multiple Apple IDs on the same computer in multiple user accounts as long as they do not use iTunes Match, automatic downloads or re-download any past purchases. However, if you'll read the KB article I posted a link to you'll see that for the purposes of those services a computer can only be associated with one Apple ID every 90 days. If the OP associates their friend's computer with their Apple ID and downloads purchases from the purchase history the owner of the computer will be locked out from using iTunes Match, automatic downloads or re-downloading any past purchases.
    It's not that the friend will be unable to use iTunes at all, but what the OP wants to do will associate their friend's computer to thier Apple ID for 90 days which may cause the friend some inconvinence.

  • How can I download previous iTunes purchases from older apple id after my Mac is associated with my current one?

    I have 4 MacBooks running MtnLion, iPad3, iPhones 2,3gs,4,and 4s,Time Capsule, and Apple TV....
    I have 2 Apple IDs [email protected], and [email protected]
    Almost all of my media is associated with gmail Apple ID. I want to retrieve my previous purchases, but don't need this Apple id aside from that.
    All of my computers and devices are associated with [email protected] id (I've set automatic downloads on all devices for [email protected])
    Now itunes will not let me download purchases I made on [email protected] for 60 days.....
    I actually wiped my 15" Mac pro, installed MtnLion and set it up with the me@gmail Apple ID (both icloud and itunes) just to get my previous itunes purchases. I downloaded about half, and then got sidetracked. Now when I go into itunes on it and try to download the rest, it says this computer is associated wth another apple id and can't download for 60 days!!!
    I tried deauthorizing, but to no end.

  • Had to buy a new computer and not able to download my ITunes purchases

    I had to buy a new computer and I am not able to download my old purchases. I didnt back up my purchases on my old laptop. What can I do to download my old purchases? Thank you

    +I didnt back up my purchases on my old laptop.+
    Woops, big mistake not backing up, since you only get ONE download from the store; no more downloads will be coming to your new PC.
    Do you at least have your purchases on an ipod? You could authroize the new PC, then do itunes menu > file > transfer purchases from ipod.

    I want to download my previous purchases from my computer to my IPhone 4.  Everytime I plug my phone into my computer it says Apple mobile devices service is not started.  How do I fix this?

    Hello EFierro79,
    I find it easiest to download my purchases directly to my iPhone.  You don't even need to connect your iPhone to iTunes.  As long as you are signed in with the same Apple ID you used to purchase the items, you will not be charged.
    You can find the steps to do this under the section titled "Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on iOS" in the following article:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    Additionally, you can follow the steps in the article below to resolve the error "This [device] cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device Service is not started."

  • I cannot find a link to authorize my PC (running Windows 7) to download my ITunes purchases.

    I cannot seem to find the link to authorize my computer, which is running Windows 7, to download my previous ITunes purchases. The process is supposed to be opening teh Store link and clicking on "Authorize My Computer", but I can't find a link that says Authorize My Computer. Can anybody help me with this?

    Hello Mikevande,
    It osnds like you are unable to find the Store menu bar item to authorize your computer. By default the menu bar is hidden in iTunes. This article outlines how to make it show so you can sign in and authorize the computer:
    iTunes: Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5610
    To turn on iTunes menus in Windows 8 or 7, do one of the following:
    Press the Alt key.
    This will turn the menus on and off temporarily. This will change back to the default, the iTunes menus being turned off, when you next close iTunes.
    Or
    To keep the iTunes menus active, change the setting by selecting the Menu icon in the upper-left, and then selecting Show Menu Bar. Alternatively, you can press Control-B.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Iphone won't download from itunes (purchases or updates) and keeps asking for password

    My new Iphone 6 won't download from itunes, whether it is a new purchase, previous purchase or update.  Itunes keeps asking for password.  Icloud seems to be working, find my phone works, so what do I do?  I've signed out and back in to the app store.   Restarted my phone.  Ugh!!

  • HT201272 Switched to new Mac (10.7.5) and now can't download any iTunes purchases.

    Since I've switched to my new Mac, I can't download any of the (music) purchases I make. (I used a cable between the two Macs to make the original transfer of "all my stuff" from the old Mac to the new, so the iTunes stuff I had then is on the new Mac.)
    I can see the download buttons, but when I push them, it stops it immediately and tells me I don't have the authority to do it.
    I'm the sole person on the iTunes account. It doesn't matter whether I make the purchase on the new or the old computer. I even tried deauthorizing the old computer, so that the only one on the account is the new one, and it still won't let me download what I purchase. I did find something where I originally only had Read privileges, but I added Write as well, so that should be OK. Not sure what else to try.

    OK, I'm replying to my own question, because I've figured it out... sort of.
    It seems that when I transferred computers, it set up my e-mail/Apple ID as a separate user! Why it did this, I have no idea.
    I went into the User folder and found that I was barred from accessing any of the stuff under that ID. It was not enough to simply give myself Read & Write permission; I also had to use the little pulldown under the gear symbol that applied it to all the items IN the folder.
    No idea why It would do this, but now it seems to have downloaded my stuff—at least some of it. (I know that one album is missing a song—?!) I'll have to check more completley later to make sure that it's ALL there.

  • Can I download my itune purchases directly on to my iphone ?

    Previously, I've downloaded lots of iTunes directly onto my iMac (Snow Leopard OS 10.6.8) - I bought a new iPhone 5 today.... can I (re) download my previous purchases directly onto my phone? (I don't think my current OS on my iMac supports iCloud- or I'd do it that way). please advise. Thank you!

    If you purchased them in iTunes and you have the same Apple ID on both devices, you can go to the purchased tab in iTunes on your iPhone and download them there.  Or you can connect your iPhone to your computer and sync them via iTunes sync to your iPhone.  Personally, I'd do it via iTunes sync on your computer as it's much faster.

  • Downloading previous iTunes purchases on iPhone

    I have iOS 5.0.1 installed on my iPhone, and have set up iCloud.   
    In the app store I can re-download previous purchases (Updates - Purchased - Not on This iPhone), but I can't do the same in iTunes.   Can anyone help?
    Cheers!

    Add'l info: iTunes purchase history shows the purchase & all songs on the playlist.

  • Cannot download previous iTunes purchases

    I have purchased 172 songs, which I can see on the iTunes Purchased list.  However, iTunes on my PC only shows 73 songs have been downloaded.  I have tried to re-download these via iCloud, but when trying to do so it is showing the songs have already been downloaded.  Looking at my old iPod most of the 'older' purchases are stored on the device.  The iPod will not sync with iTunes on my PC.  When connecting the iPod I am informed the iPod is synched with a different library.  My iPad also has different purchased items.  I had to reinstall Windows 7 on my machine, which would appear to be the cause of the problem.

  • Help! How do I re-download past itunes purchases???

    My old ipod crashed and I lost hundreds of songs of which I had not backed up to a computer. A few months ago I saw them on itunes with a little cloud next to them so I thought "great I'll buy another ipod and restore the songs from icloud". So I had bought the new ipod but never got around to restoring my old purchases. Since then I had downloaded new songs onto my ipod until my ipod said it needed a software update which I did. Now I've lost all those songs! I have no clue where to find the songs that I saw a few months back in itunes with the icloud next to them. There must be a way to re-download all your past purchases but how?
