Itunes says it is already associated with another account on ipad2 when i only have one account

I am trying to get my ipad2 to download purchases previously made from itunes. If i go to settings store and slide the automatic downloads for music to on, it says that this device is associated with another account and cannot be changed for 90 days,  i only have one itunes account and these settings are saved underneath. Any ideas?

I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

    Contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click ‘More Produces & Services’. In the next page select ‘Apple ID’, and then 'Other Apple ID Topics’, then ‘The topic is not listed’.  Tell the person who answers it is an issue related to your Apple ID and you shouldn't be charged for the call.

  • HT204074 my new computer says it's already associated with another apple id

    This 90-day timer is very frustrating, especially considering the fact that, when I try to sync my iPhone5 to iTunes on my new laptop, I get the message that it is already associated with another apple id...how can that be?? Must I really (really?) wait 80-something more days before I have the opportunity to correct this? What's to say I will be able to, considering this current 'association error' happened without my knowing how/when/why, etc.? Grrrr...Apple.
    I seem to remember a prior post that mentioned Apple fixed that particular problem for them via phone? How do I get through to that helpful person? What channels do I follow when support depends on serial number or info unrelated to my question? Ugh - thanks in advance for the help - please word it as simply as you can because I feel like a real dunce.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You'll have to choose between cancelling and Transfering. If you transfer you won't be able to use music purchased under your account or change your settings for 90 days.

  • Trying to register for ePrint. It's telling me my email is already associated with another account.

    I have recently installed an HP Deskjet 3054A with my MacBook Pro.
    Wen trying to set up ePrint, it asked me to register an account. When I tried, it told me that the email address I was using was already registered. I don't remember setting this up previously, so I tried to retrieve my password with the 'forgot password' link. However, when I typed that same password that it told me was already registered, I got the following error -  "enter the email address associated with your account."
    Please advise. I think I need to speak with someone via phone.
    Thank you.

    Do you already have an account with Snapfish using that same email address?
    I am an HP employee.

  • Iphone says it is already synced with another library, but it's not

    My iphone says it is already synced with another library, but it's not.

    I have the exact situation and it is frustrating me. All I want is my original iTunes Library back!
    I have not synced to another computer what so ever. Does anyone know how to set my iTunes library to my original? I don't want to erase everything and start from new.
    Please let me know!

  • Serial Number Associated with Another Account

    I believe my iPod Touch was stolen. There is a chance my son hid/lost it somewhere in the house. It's pathetic, I know.
    In my iTunes account, the iPod is no longer listed as one of my devices.  When I attempt to add the device by entering the serial number it says this device is associated with another account.  This it what makes me think the iPod is stolen
    When I go to iCloud "Find My iPhone" App, the iPod and my iPhone are listed there.  When I select "All Devices" from the drop down menu the iPod is not listed as one of my devices. Because I was able to select it to locate it, I did that.  I flagged it as lost, locked it and asked to be notified when it is discovered.  The device is offline and I will be notified when it comes back online. If the battery is dead in my house I know this is useless. 
    Bottom line...because the device is associated with another account, should I assume it was stolen? If it was, will the "Find My Phone" app work if the iPod is now associated with another account? If it is associated with another account, can I assume the content was cleared?
    Thanks for your time and help.

    You should assume it's stolen, though there's also the possibility you or someone else in the house used a different Apple ID to register it when you first got it, and don't remember.
    Find my iPhone will still work regardless of who it's registered to. No one can sign out of iCloud (and therefore Find my iPod) on the device without entering your Apple ID and password )the one used to sign into iCloud).

  • Why when I try to re download my music it says this device is already associated with another device and I have so many days to re download my music back? How do I get around this and get my music back?

    It is telling you that the device has been associated with another Apple ID. Once an Apple ID has been associated with a device, there is a 90-day waiting period before another Apple ID can be associated with that device. Here is a Support Article that explains the 90-day waiting period:

  • I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library.  However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library.

    I don't see anything in Help that shows when you already have transfered all the files over.  Why would it want to erase and sync when I already have all the music folder copied over?  I didn't have an issue when I had another technician copy from one laptop to another.  Home sharing is also on but not being recognized.

  • It says "this device is already associated with another apple ID" and it will not download previous purchases.

    It says "this device is already associated with another apple ID" and it will not download previous purchases. This is a new iPad 4 as my last iPad 4 was stolen. How can I fix this issue, can I fix this issue?

    Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset and Erase all Content

  • I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

    I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

    You do not merge libraries.
    iDevices sync to one and only one computer.
    If you want a single library, you manually move the content from one library to another... all content will still be associated with the Apple ID it was acquired with.

  • HT204406 My iPhone tells me that iTunes Match is associated with another account. But it works on my iPad and MacBook. It says I have to wait 90 days. Please Help!

    My iPhone wants me to wait 90 days before I can use it again with iTunes Match. It is telling me that it is associated with another account. This is not true. I have tried restarting, logging out of the store, syncing with my MacBook ((where iTunes Match works). There seems to be no tech support for iTunes Match . I have not been able to find anything except this forum.
    Thanks.

    First which version of iOS are you currently running on your ipad? If running iOS 5.1 or later you can upadate righ from ipad using wifi.
    You should use the same computer that you normally sync to (itunes, by default, will not let you sync to more than one itunes libray)
    If not, you can turn off auto syncing.
    Without the ipad connected to the computer, go to itunes preferences/devices and check the box at the bottom to prevvent ipads, iphones and ipads from syncing automatically.
    Then reconnect ipad to computer.
