My iPad says I have to wait 90 days to use a different Apple ID

Ok, I can kinda understand why Apple is trying to implement these measures, but its going to get into a hole heap of mess in my opinion.
I am going through my third iTunes Music Match configuration due to updates etc and its starting to get a painful exercise.
If I have to go through the whole process again, which we will since Apple is promising the impending library deletions, I not sure I want to bother!
Anyway, to get to the point of the problem, since I travel between the UK and the USA, I have two main Apple ID's.
My iPad2 is giving me the error "This device is already associated with an Apple ID" and informing me that I have to wait 90 days before I can switch.
I have no iCloud music showing up on my device and I am getting this error irrespective of which of my two Apple ID's I put into the settings!?
This seems a rediculous situation to get into, so I have no media available and before I can even try to fix the problem, I have to wait 90 days, really Apple!?!?
Even if I wait 90 days to try switching my Apple ID's, I'm not convinced I will still not get this error again so another 90 day debarcle could mean I'm without my media for half a year!!!!!
Not impressed!

Wait the 90 days. Anti-piracy restriction to prevent improper
media sharing. What was wrong with your old Apple ID that you
made a new one?

I am wanting to activate iTunes Match on my iPad. But I get a message saying I have to wait 90 days

I am wanting to activate iTunes Match on my iPad. But I get a message saying I have to wait 90 days. Side note: I'm doing this for my mom and not knowing, she created a second Apple ID a while ago. I'm trying to get her ID's sorted out. Anyway, I am wanted to know if there's a work around for this. I know it's a safeguard created so people cannot endlessly log in and out of others accounts and share there music and stuff. So, any help?

There is no work around, you must wait the 90 days (or however long is remaining) before associating the device with another Apple ID.
Keep in mind that if you log into your mother's iPad with your iTunes Store Apple ID she will then be using that Apple ID for everything including purchases. Any apps purchsed with her Apple ID can not longer be updated on the device.

HT5622 When I go to down load music from my iPad off recent purchase say I have to wait 75 day

When I go to download music from my recent purchase it say i have to wait 70 day is there a way to reset this cause I dj and I use my iPad for music and I have no music on it

That message indicates to me that you were downloading purchased content with another Apple ID so that you didn't have to pay for it again. When you do that, you associate your iPad with that Apple ID for 90 days and you lock yourself out of your own ID until the 90 days is up.
In any event, you just have to wait it out now. You can't reset it.

HT1420 It says I have to wait 90 days---- Help!!!

I reformated my hard drive. I backed up my songs on a web back up. I reinstalled itunes and restored all my songs from the back up. Now when i try to play my songs it says i have to wait 90 days. What can i do? Do i really have to wait 90 days?

If you've associated your phone with an account (associating an account) then you will need to try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can remove the association for you, nobody on here will be able to : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
Your post's title says transferring music to a different account, if that is what you want to do then it's not currently possible, all downloads from the store will remain tied to the account that downloaded it. And using iTunes Match, automatic downloads and redownloading an account's past purchases risks tying that computer or device to that account for 90 days.

HT5622 How do I change the Apple id against a certain telephone number? I have two iPhones and wish to use a different Apple id for each and confused as to how I do this?

How do I change the Apple id against a certain telephone number? I have two iPhones and wish to use a different Apple id for each and confused as to how I do this?

Create a new Apple ID for the second phone. If you are setting the phones up as new phone enter the ID you want to use on each phone.
If both phones are already signed in to one Apple ID then use the settings app to change Apple IDs on one phone.
Settings > iTunes and App Store > tap on the Apple ID > sign out > sign in with alternate Apple ID.
Note that if you have downloaded apps with the original Apple ID on the phone with the new Apple ID, those apps will still be associated with the old Apple ID and will require the old ID and password in order to update them.

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.

Ave been using an ipad for si have been uongs, and app purchases, using my wifes apple id. now i have a new apple lap top, i am wondering why would i get my own id as opposed to keeping "ours"

i have been using an ipad for songs, apps, etc, i now am migrating to a mac book, my question is, i have been using my wifes apple id for all of our purchases, sharing, etc. now that i have a laptop, i am wondering, why should i get my own user id or why would i not just continue on using our common id?
she worries about us taking up too much space in the cloud, which i am not using yet but will learn

i dont know why you would make a separate account either if you have been getting on fine before, unless you need to talk to your wife with iMessage or something
if you do run out of cloud storage it's probably cheaper to just upgrade it than make your own apple id and have to buy everything again

Multiple Apple ID's on one computer - it says we have to wait 90 days to add the 2nd one?

I deauthorized our computer using my applie ID - I did not know it would deauthorize my husbands account as well.
I reauthorized it using my AppleID. Now my husband cannot authorize his account until 90 days go by. We share the computer, is there a way around this?
He is the one with the itunes match on his account & most of the music. Now he cannot access it for 90 days? Is that right?
I will forfeit my account on this computer if we can put his on.

A computer, as far as I know, can't have more than one iTunes library at a time. I could be wrong, since you seemingly did so previously? Either way, I'd say you will need to deauthorize your account and authorize his. If you still have trouble, then you will need to contact Apple support to reset the account or you might be better to just wait and contect them right away, get the "rules" of your situation and then see how they can help.
Oh, I think actually I found what might be your problem, yes you will need to contact Apple directly. The problem is a legal issue due to the addition of iCloud. So, it seems your computer accessing both accounts was a sort of grandfather glitch that you "fixed" when you deauthorized your account. Now, again due to legal reasons related to iCloud, you cannot authorize your husband's computer because otherwise what's stopping you from downloading all of your music, then downloading all of his music, then get a few friends together and download all of their music. Sure, you could copy the files over manually and add them (and that may be what you have to do for the next 90 days) but they can't allow it to be so easy as just downloading multiple accounts to your computer(s).

I know it says you have to wait 3 days for you money to clear after your item is delivered.

It's say my item was delivered at the door of the buyer on July 3rd at 8 pm and it is now past 8 pm on the 3rd day why isn't my money available am getting really Sick if this.

Contact customer services and ask them to release your funds. ******************************************** I give up my time to help you so a thank you or kudos would be cool.
Marking one of my replies as a solution would be appreciated if I sorted your problem.

I need to reset my billing stuff I canceled my card and it won't let me delete it on my iPad and I have 15 dollars I can't use on that Apple ID

I Need to reset my billing stuff I canceled my visa and it is still on there it won't delete I also have 15 dollars on there I can't use

If you are trying to change your credit card info and you have cancelled the one card, then you need to add the new card, then make it the default card, and then you can delete the other one. If you have any additional issues, then contact iTunes support for assistance. http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

Why do i have to wait 90 days to download music I bought with another apple ID?

My iphone 5 is now linked to a 'business' Apple ID. I would like to change that to a personal apple Id that i used to purchase many songs. I did change the apple ID but when I turned on 'automatic downloads' for music, a message appeared saying: 'This device is already associated with an apple ID. If you turn on auto-downloads, you cannot download past purchases with a different apple ID for 90 days'.
Why do i have to wait 90 days to use music i bought with another apple ID? Is there another way to do this so that I don't have to wait 90 days?
Thanks

No. There is no getting around this limitation.

How can I remove the 90 day wait until I can use a new Apple ID on iTunes?

I recently bought a like new MacBook Pro Retina that only had 16 battery cycles. It was sold to the person I bought it from in March 2013. he sent me the original receipt from the Apple store also.I contacted Apple and they helped me set up a new Apple Admin. account under my name and password. I purchased the extended Applecare under my name for this computer. All is ok there. It is running Mountain Lion 10.8.5 OS and it allowed me to do iPhoto update today.
I authorized the computer under iTunes and next to it said 83 days before I could use my Apple ID? I unauthorized the computers on my iTunes account for the three under them to clear them off. I reauthorized the MacBook Pro and it seems ok on the MacBook Pro. I went on my Windows laptop and the MacBook Pro was there with the 83 days wait again. So I took it off. Do I have to wait 83 days to use my Apple ID on this computer? I backed up my two iPads on iTunes today and that was fine as it showed them under devices. I am confused.
Any help?
Thanks.

iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. This article describes how to manage these associations.
Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. You can view which devices or computers are currently associated, remove unused devices or computers, and see how long before they can be associated with a different Apple ID from the Account Information page in iTunes on your computer:
Open iTunes.
Sign in to your Apple ID by choosing Store > Sign In from the iTunes menu.
Choose Store > View My Account from the iTunes menu.
From the Account Information screen, click Manage Devices.
Next to each device or computer name, you will be able to see when each was associated to your Apple ID. You will also be able to track how many days are remaining before your associated devices or computers can be associated to a different Apple ID.
Removing an associated device or computer from an Apple ID
To remove a device or computer from your Apple ID:
Open iTunes.
Sign in to your Apple ID by choosing Store > Sign In from the iTunes menu.
Choose Store > View My Account from the iTunes menu.
From the Account Information screen, click Manage Devices.
Click the Remove button next to the device name you would like to unassociate.
Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90 day timer. The timer must complete 90 days from the day the device was associated before it can be associated to another Apple ID.

You can still deauthorize an individual computer from the iTunes Menus.
You can de-authorize only once a year 'all' computers from your iTunes account page.

ITunes accepted my de-authorize request but didn't reset. Now when I check it it says I have to wait till June 26th? There has to b a way to reset this! I can't wait to access my Cloud svcs etc for 2 months!

That means you had already done de-authorization once last Jun26. Please take note that you are only allowed to deauthorize all only once a year. Refer to this article:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
However, you may contact Apple Customer service for exception to the rule. Scroll down to bottom of this page and click Contact Us link. Go to Phone section for Phone number of your country and call them.
