i did the add a computer function and it says that this computer is already associated with an apple id...if you use itunes match with your apple id etc for 90 days...please explain. is this going to screw my wifes account up?

If you both have seperate iTunes Store accounts then basically, yes, it is going "screw up" your wife's account.
iTunes Match is designed as a single-user service which is associated with one and only one iTunes Store account ID. If you have subscribed on your account and want to activate the service on another computer that is already signed in with an account the present account must be signed out and then iTunes signed into your account. This means the other computer will have complete access to your account and will only be able to make purchases on your account. iTM is not designed to be signed in and out at will. If she has apps purchased with her iTunes Store account they will not be able to be updated.

HT1420 i can't seem to get my iPad to synch with my new iMac. The iTunes prompt says that this computer isn't authorised although i have registered it on iTunes. Any other ideas for how to overcome this block?

What do you mean by 'registered it on iTunes' ? You've authorised your account on your Mac's iTunes via the Store > Authorise This Computer menu option ? And you've copied your library onto the Mac ?

I have songs in my iTunes App that will not play. It keeps saying that this computer is not authorized to play would you like to authorize it. I would but its asking me to authorize an account that was changed. What do I do????

I have songs in my iTunes Application that will not play. I keeps saying that this computer is not authourized to play name of song would you like to authourize it. The problem is its the old account I had and that has been changed. How am I going to authorize these songs when this account no longer exists.

I posted about this yesterday -- it happened to me, and the solution was incredibly simple. An Apple tech guy had me delete my SC Info Folder, located on my XP in Application Data.
Here is my post:

It wasn't every song, just a few of them. A nightmare to figure out what to do, but it was solved upon reboot.

Album says it needs authorization, but then it says that this computer is already authorized. I have logged in and out. Deauthorized and authorized my computer again.

I fixed a very similar issue here with a short walk through! - Same concept
I had this problem before with a track from Kendrick Lamar's album "good kid, m.A.A.d city"
Enjoy!

I am unable to play a number of songs on my ipod...it says that this computer is not authorized...I tried to authorize it...but it wont work...

did you use your sons Apple ID..? If so... those items are tied to that Apple ID.
If your issue is with the Authorization of your New Mac...
On your Computer... Open iTunes...
If you're using iTunes 11 click on the box icon in the top-left corner to see the " Show Menu Bar "
and from the Menu Bar select Store...
From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.
When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.

The computer is not connecting to Itunes. Its is saying that the file that is in there has a error of 07/13 . Also my laptop is not being allowed to connect say it is not authorize and I am allow tow computers by the account ID.

Maybe you purchased some of the other songs using a different itunes account.
Could this be?

When i try to sync my nano to itunes i am not allowed to download all tunes because my computer is not authorized. when i try to authorize, it say that this computer is already authorized.

when i try to sync my nano, all songs will not download because they were purchased in itunes store and this computer is not authorized, but itunes store says that the computer is authorized.

TS3771 My iTunes U no longer works since the update, an error message pops up saying that "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes." I followed the tutorial that suggests to change to from 64 to 32 bit and it didn't

iTunes U video files no longer work on my computer since i update to Mavericks. The following message appears on the screen "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes." I followed a tutorial that suggested to go to Applications/iTunes/Get Info and change to 32 bit. Now my iTunes does not open at all, it says it requires 64 bit. I am a bit confused and disappointed. What should I do to get it fixed? Buy a new MacBook?

Marcello, I am having the same problem. When following the advice of many in the community to start iTunes in 32-bit mode, I get the following error after I have done so:
I am running 10.9.2 on a mac mini.
I am hoping this will be fixed or at least a solid answer could be given that iTunes will no longer support certain types of media going foward.

Restored iPhone, signed in with wrong apple ID & can't use iTunes Match for 33 days!!u

Hi,
When I connected my iPhone 5 to itunes it said it couldn't read the device and I had to restore it.
After I did this I signed in with my primary Apple ID, that I use for iCloud, Mail, iMessage, Photo Stream etc. However most of my purchases & iTunes Match have been made on another Apple ID (that I used before iCloud was introduced)
Now when I try and turn on iTunes match using this ID I get a message saying:
"This device is already associated with an Apple ID. You can use iTunes Match on this device with just one apple ID every 90 days. This device can be used with another Apple ID in 33 days"
This is very very frustrating as I didn't realise what I had done when signing into the iPhone. I have sent a message to Apple to see if they can reset this before the 33 days so I can sign in with the correct ID for match.
Anyone else had a similiar problem? I hope that there will be away in future of merging ID's so that this problem doesn't happen - I'm sure it's very common!
Thanks
Steven

Yes, I did as you suggested and signed into the iTunes store with the Apple ID I use for purchases and iTunes Match.
When I attempt to turn on iTunes match I am given the following message:
"This device is already associated with an Apple ID. You can use iTunes Match on this device with just one apple ID every 90 days. This device can be used with another Apple ID in 33 days"
I believe this happened after I restored my iPhone5(as requested by iTunes) and logged back into the device with the incorrect ID, which was then set up to use for iTunes & App Store Purchases.
When I then logged out of this ID and tried to use the correct ID, it was then that I received the message saying I cannot use it!
If you think there is something else I can do to resolve this then please let me know.
However, I have sent an email to Apple explaining what has happened. If they have good procedures in place, they should be able to see my iTunes account(s) and the devices associated with it. Remove the iPhone from the Apple ID that is is currently assocaited with and then I will be able to associate with the correct ID.
It seems very straight forward!

HT4913 i am trying to get my computer and my wifes computer on my itunes match. i did the add a computer function and it says that this computer is already associated with an apple id...if you use itunes match with your apple id etc for 90 days...please
