Associated Devices in iTunes account

What would happen if I accidenally remove the wrong associated device from the manage devices page of the iTunes in the Cloud account? Can the device be reassociated to the iTunes account it was removed from or is there a 90 day wait?

What you describe is not technically possible, so something else must be going on
Firstly, do you actually have completely independent iCloud accounts, which were setup independently using separate AppleIDs, or are you actually using different iCloud email aliases within the same iCloud account?
If you are using different iCloud aliases within the same account then you will receive each other's email. Aliases are not separate email accounts. All email to all aliases goes into the same InBox.
iTunes and iCloud are separate, so her iPod appearing in your iTunes is to be expected.
When you check in a Settings > iCloud on your devices are you each signed in to your respective iCloud accounts?

I have an older ipod 80gb that I've just reset and associated with my iTunes account. It's recognized and up to date but when I sync I can't download any of my music. How can I download my iTunes library to this device?

I have an older ipod classic 80gb that I've just reset and associated with my iTunes account. It's recognized and up to date but when I sync I can't download any of my music. How can I download my iTunes library to this device?

Hello Analogue guy living in wireless world,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to sync your music to your iPod.
I recommend trying to sync your music again using iTunes. When you have your iPhone connected to iTunes, I recommend checking the Music tab to verify that Sync Music is checked. From here, you will be able to select to sync your "Entire music library" or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres:"

Howdy nzh50,
It sounds like you have a device associated in iTunes with your Apple ID that you would like to remove from your account. This article should help you out there:
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your 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. You must wait 90 days from the day the device was first associated with your Apple ID before it can be associated with another Apple ID.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

HT1918 I am unable to locate where to change the phone number that is associated with my itunes account.

I am unable to locate where to change the phone number that is associated with my itunes account. I have a new number and the old number is no longer accessible by me. I've logged into my iTunes acct and it seems I can only change my appleID itself, my billing address info, and password and things like that. I cannot find where to remove a number and add a new one. I've gone to my mobile devices (iphone, ipad) as well as my mac and I'm getting a bit frustrated with it. I'm sure there's a simple solution and I'm just missing it. Going to settings>messages>send&receive....there is the old number and no option to make a correction. I've unchecked it but why can't I add the new number? On my iphone the ONLY option that shows up is my current number but when I set up my new ipad I have the issue described here. I want this number completely removed from my account there has to be a way to get it out of the system.
Also when going to settings>facetime>you can be reached at: shows email addresses as well as the OLD phone number with no option to make the correction, remove the incorrect number, or add a new number. I figured this was tied in to my appleID since thats when it showed up (right when I signed in on my ipad). So I went to itunes on my mac and went to my account and there I find AppleID Summary, itunes in the cloud, purchase history, and settings. I've gone through each of those and am still unable to figure out where to change it. Somebody PLEASE tell me where to find this data so I can change it. I've seen multiple inquiries about this all over the internet but everyone's solution is to do exactly what I've already done. No resolution to the real issue.

Apple will have it, but if there is ever a question/problem, the store that you made the exchange at will have it on record.
But if you're worried about it call 800-APL-CARE and see if they have it.

How do I change the Apple ID associated with my iTunes account?

How do I change the Apple ID associated with my iTunes account?
I have an apple ID that i have associated with my account but I want to change it to another ID that I just created. I needed to create this new ID so that both my wife and I can use the ID for our shared iTunes account and then we each have our own apple IDs with our own calendars, contacts, etc.

Change it on what way ? You can update the primary email address on an account by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on an iOS device and signing into the account, via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com
If you want to log out of the account so that you can log in with a different account then tap on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store if using an iOS device and sign out, or on a computer's iTunes use the Store > Sign Out menu option. Any content downloaded by the currently logged in account will remain tied to that account, so only that account will be able to redownload it and/or download updates to its apps

2nd hand ipad not showing as associated device on itunes

Hi All,
I bought a 2nd hand Ipad a couple of weeks ago from a shop (all legit). As I'm pretty useless with all things tech they synced most of my pics/vids and music from my Iphone using their computer in-store. As my Iphone has more space than the I pad, I bought extra ICloud storage (not realising that this wouldn't create more space in the Ipad - told you I'm stupid when it comes to tech stuff!).
Anyway, after spending saving my pics,vids and music to an external hard drive via Itunes, I then synced my favourites to my Ipad to give me more space. I first noticed that there was a problem when trying to play some of my songs, it would say "this device is already associated an an apple I.d.. if you download past purchases with your id you cannot automatically download past purchases with a different id for 90 days".
Two issues with this.. The first being that the songs it is saying this for were NEVER purchased from Itunes - they were ripped from c.d's onto my Itunes library (and have always played ok on my Iphone and Ipod shuffle). Secondly, I have only ever had/used one apple i.d for my computer, Iphone, Ipod shuffle and now this Ipad. The Ipad has been fine using my apple i.d for everything else.. ie, apps, Itunes store and also buying extra i.cloud storage, so I'm not sure why it is viewing it as a different i.d?
After looking on my Itunes account I noticed that under "manage devices" it is only showing my Iphone and computer as an associated device (I'm not too bothered that it doesn't show my Ipod shuffle because I only sync my music occasionally on that). Is this because it's second hand, and if so what can I do about it? Although I bought this primarily so I can view my pics and home vids on a larger screen than my phone, I don't want to worry about losing music from Itunes if it's viewing my Ipad as belonging to someone else, or an authorised device etc. By the way, the shop I bought the Ipad from is legit, they ask for proof of ownership before buying anything - this Ipad was one someone received free as part of a phone upgrade before selling it so it can't be an issue with being blocked etc.
Thanks - any help and/or advice on how I can sort this out would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for replying Ralph,,
I just tried that - still no difference. Ipad not showing up as an associated device on itunes, and on my Ipad when I try to turn automatic downloads on it comes up with the same message.. already associated with an apple ID.. 90 days etc etc.
It makes no sense as the extra icloud storage (and the money they've taken from me to pay for it) has been done using this ipad, my usual apple id and payment details and has been synced to my itunes account (which is associated with my id and authorised). If you have any other ideas (or alternatively know which dept I should contact in Apple) I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks :-)

I recently bought a new computer, downloaded itunes and all my music from the cloud, made a few more purchases on itunes then plugged in my ipod and it wont sync. My ipod is already associated with my itunes account and the computer is authorised...

I have a new laptop which will not sync my ipod to it. I've registered the computer, this is the only ipod associated with this itunes account. It shows the syncing symbol on the laptop and on the ipod but then when i eject the ipod afterwards the new songs have not transfered or my playlists.

What you have on your computer is your iTunes library, not an iTunes "account." The account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID, which you use to sign in to the iTunes Store and make purchases. It is also used with iCloud. iPods (that are not iPod touch) are associated with your iTunes library, not to your Apple ID.
So, I think you probably just need to set up (or update) automatic syncing for the iPod. If it's not set up to sync those new songs, iTunes still syncs the iPod, but it syncs nothing
In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of iTunes window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. In the sidebar, the iPod appears under DEVICES, when it is connected.
Select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of buttons, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This is the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music (if it's not already checked). If your iTunes music library fits completely on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. On the lists below, checkmark the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres that you want on the iPod. When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the iPod.
One convenient way to set this up (if you can't sync the entire iTunes music library) is to create a new playlist in your iTunes library. Name it "iPod Songs" (or whatever you want). Put ALL songs that you want on the iPod on this playlist, including those new songs. Back on the iPod's Music screen in iTunes, select this playlist under Playlists. Going forward, to update songs on the iPod, just update that playlist in your iTunes library (add/remove songs). The next time you connect the iPod (or click the Sync button), iTunes automatically syncs the same changes to the iPod.

How do I set up family sharing if all my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account?

I want to set up family sharing but it won't let me because all the emails are already associated with the one iTunes account we have. I am afraid to delete because my children use that email address for text messaging. How do I set up family sharing if all my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account?

Hey Wendaroski,
I am not quite sure what you mean by "my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account" but what you need for each family member is an Apple ID. Yours would be the one for your iTunes account.
If the other members of the family already have an Apple ID you can invite them to join the family group. If not they will need to create one, using their email address. This article shows how -

With the limit of 5 devices per itunes account, I am wondering if I can have 2 itune accounts on the same computer? We have many idevices and I am not sure how to manage them all.

With the limit of 5 devices per itunes account, I am wondering if I can have more than 1 itunes account on my computer?

The limit of five applies only to computers, not to iOS devices, if that's what you're concerned with. But yes, you can have content from up to five different iTunes Store accounts on any given computer or iOS device.
Regards.

HT1420 I have two email accounts associated with one iTunes account

I have two email accounts associated with one iTunes account with two passwords, I guess it happened when i changed my internet service provider.

Could be, but i do have an old email account, whis is not used, changed carrriers. I have noticed that some songs have a cloud with a line through it. I try to play it and a dialog box from Itunes pops up: "THIS COMPUTER IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO PLAY "THE THINGS WE DO FOR LOVE(SOUND TRACK VERSION, would you like to authorize it? THe apple ID haxe my old email address " and an empty block asking for my password. Well all i know is when you start trying to authorze with an old ID or something of that nature, the account is block and you need to do a new setup again. And who knows what other problems that will cause,
I just want the songs (i think there are several songs) assosiated with this old account to move to my new account.
Any ideas?
Tom

Apple changed my Apple ID to the email address associated with my iTunes account. I now can no longer access my account because the old user name is no longer valid and has no password. I have been on the phone with tech support for hours trying to fix.

Hey there jappwno,
It sounds like you are unable to select None as a payment method in your iTunes account. The following article may help you determine why this is the case:
