Changing iTunes Store accounts with Automatic Downloads

I use my Mac Mini at home as my media server/HTPC, and contains my iTunes library. I want to copy all my music to my MacBook Air for work, as my internet at work is too slow for iTunes Match to work effectively. Therefore, I was going to set Automatic Downloads for music on both Macs so that they would stay in sync.
However, I have both an Australian iTunes store account and an old UK one, which I still use to download BBC TV programmes from. According to the Apple KB though:
"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."
Does this mean that I can't change the store from AU to UK for 90 days? Or is the Apple ID you use in the store different to the device's Apple ID?

I'm having this problem too (except with from Japan to US)! Did you ever get a solution? I don' want to create a new account because I want to keep all of my purchases.

HT201077 I have Photo Stream enabled with Automatic downloads enabled. Yet when I try to join a Photo stream I get referred to The I Cloud start support page - this happens for both my Mac and my IPad. What can I do?

The following is from this Apple Document: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
What do I need to use Photo Stream?
To use Photo Stream, including Shared Photo Streams, you need an iCloud account, compatible devices, and up-to-date software:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6.0 or later
Mac with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later and iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later
PC with Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) and the iCloud Control Panel 2.1 or later for Windows
Apple TV (2nd generation) with Software Update 5.1 or later
You can still use Photo Stream without Shared Photo Streams if your devices meet these requirements:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5.1 or later
Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and iPhoto 9.2.2 or Aperture 3.2.3 or later
PC with Windows 7 or Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) and the iCloud Control Panel v2.0 or later for Windows
Apple TV (2nd generation) with Software Update 5.0 or later
For complete iCloud setup instructions, visit How to set up iCloud.
You need Mt. Lion in order to use Shared Photo Streams.

Accidentally associated my iphone to the wrong itunes account for automatic downloads. What do I do?

Pretty much explained it in the title. I signed into my dad's iTunes account today to download a quick app that he had already purchased when I accidentally forgot to sign out of his account. Later on, I receive a notification on my iPhone that my iPhone is associated to a different Apple I.D. and that I can transfer over to the account for the automatic downloads feature. I didn't think this through and decided to transfer over, not knowing what I was doing. It said that I have to wait 90 days before I can transfer back over to my own Apple I.D. can someone from Apple please help me!!!

Having an odd issue with automatic downloads?

On my iPad Air, I have turned off the automatic downloads for apps and music (so it's not green and I want it to ask for the password), but not for updates (I want automatic updates). Recently when I download an app, it does downloads automatically and for updates it ask me for the password. I tired switching the on/off and it still automatically downloads. Does anyone else have this issue and know how to solve it?

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer..)
Release the Buttons...

Problem with automatic downloads on multiple computers with shared storage

I have a main Windows computer I use to rip my CD's, download Digital Copies from DVD's, buy iTunes movies, and sync my iPhone/iPad. My iTunes library points to a shared location on a MediaSmart Windows Home Server as "\\mediasmart\itunes\music". I have turned on automatic downloads on this computer so it downloads music/apps/books if I buy something on one of my other devices.
I also have iTunes installed on the above mentioned MediaSmart Windows Home Server to serve content to my Apple TV's throughout the house and I point the iTunes library to the same location as the above Windows computer - which is local to the MediaSmart server - as "d:\itunes\music". I do this because the main Windows computer is also used as the main system for the house - quicken, AnyDVD, etc. and I don't want to impact performance on that computer if I decide to watch a movie on one of my Apple TV's. Anyway, to avoid having to manually copy music and books to the MediaSmart server, I enabled Automatic Downloads. In short, it works as advertised. Now, if I buy a song on the main Windows computer it gets automatically downloaded to the MediaSmart server and added to the iTunes library in the Purchased playlist - which is exactly where I want it to go. However, I just noticed last night that I now have multiple copies of those songs that are "Automatically Downloaded".
As an example, on the main Windows Computer I recently bought the song Gasoline. It was placed in a folder named "\\mediasmart\itunes\music\kicking harold" and the song was named "01 gasoline.mp4". Then....within a few minutes the MediaSmart iTunes automatically downloaded the song Gasoline and placed it in "d:\itunes\music" BUT named the song "01 gasoline 1.mp4". I figured iTunes would be smart enough to actually check for the physical song before re-downloading it and creating another copy of it.
Is there anyway to fix this or some setting I am missing? I hope the above makes sense.
Thanks for any assistance.

Yes it makes sense, and no I don't think you're missing some obvious setting. I think iTunes needs to gain some optimisation in this area. For instance if I make a purchase on my iPad I see iTunes downloading an independent copy instead of letting the download complete on the iPad and then copying it over to the PC via Wi-Fi. Hopefully these issues will get tidied up as iTunes in the Cloud meets the real world, though it probably wouldn't hurt to add your feedback.

Is it possible to associate two iTunes accounts with 1 iMac?

My wife and I both share an iMac but have seperate user accounts. Each account is linked to different iCloud accounts. I recently purchased a few songs on my iPhone and was wanting to download them to our shared iMac but was unable to as my account was not associated with the iMac. We purchased the iMac a couple weeks ago and I didn't have any problems downloading from the iCloud then. Friday my wife associated her account with the iMac and disabled mine. Now iTunes says I have to wait 86 days until I can download my previously purchased items.
Any way that both can be associated with the same mac to allow past purchases to be downloaded?
Thanks

Is it possible to get an answer to a question around here? At least respond that, "We don't know and we'll get back to you."

How do i turn off automatic download and make it stay off

I use the preferences in ITUNES to turn off automatic down loads and every time i start iTunes it tries to force me to sign to an ICLOUD account and automatic download. I have tried everything I can find on apple help sites. But you Apple carefully stays away from the subject of how to make it stay off. I have 10.9.4 system
and 11-3 (54) iTunes.

Hello, jadetorchwood.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is an article that I would recommend going through when experiencing error -50.

HT204266 iPad mini - Automatic Downloads

I have iPad mini and iOS is 7.1. I'm facing serious problem with automatic downloads of apps. Despite of disabling / deactivating auto downloads from Settings > iTunes & App Store, problems persists. Please advise / suggest.

It's hard to answer you because you only say "problems persists" and have not told us exactly what the problems are.
But my guess is you are affected by background app refresh, and not automatic downloads. Try Settings > General> Background App Refresh = "Off"

Is there a why to stop the box that pops up demanding a password to enable automatic downloads every time I open iTunes?

Everytime I open itunes a box prompts me to enter a password to enable automatic downloads so I hit 'cancel' and it goes away, then it comes bck soon after. Is there a way of disabling this? It's as bad as getting pop up ads, only it's coming from Apple. VERY annoying.

I have experienced the same problem. Here's what worked for me.
I did all three so I cannot say for sure which step was the successful one.
(1) iTunes > Preferences > Store. Uncheck everything that has to do with Automatic Downloads. (From now on if I want to check on the status of any downloads I will do it manually. No big deal. That beats having to enter my password every time I launch iTunes.)
(2) iTunes > Store menu. Select Authorize This Computer. The response is that it is already authorized. The thinking here is that it resets the authorization.
(3) iTunes > Store menu. Turn off Genius. (Bummer, because I kind of like Genius. Oh well.)
(4) iTunes > Preferences > Advanced. Click Reset Warnings and Reset Cache. (Again, clean house to see if that helps.)
So far this has worked. No more constant requests for my iTunes password upon launching iTunes.

Access to Comes With Music downloads

Hi, I previously had a 12 month Comes With Music account with unlimited downloads. I have now got a new PC and have now got an internet connection on it and I was wondering how I can update my registered PC settings and access my music that I previously downloaded.
I have had a look on the Nokia MixRadio page but it is trying to charge my for downloading my music. Is there a solution to this as there is obviously a lot of music on there that I have legally downloaded.
I am unable to register this as a complaint via the Nokia Support online form as this requires an IMEI number. However the phone broke a few years ago which is why I need to use this method.
Many thanks
M. O'Brien

@jk95 - Try if you can change your registered mobile from Music account settings in Music player; Account > Music account > Registered devices.
If not, contact local Nokia Care with your Nokia Music username and IMEI (serial number) of your device. You can check contact details behind Contact us (or Contact support) link up right in this page.

How do I find out which apple ID my computer is associated with so I can enable automatic downloads in the iTunes store?

I'm trying to enable automatic downloads in the iTunes store for iCloud and i keep getting an error "your computer is already associated with another Apple ID" but I don't know which it could be? I've tried to look under Manage Devices in my iTunes account and I can't find my computer. Is there any way to find out what Apple ID my computer is associated with on my computer and not thru iTunes?

Here's a compatibility guide by a 3rd party. I can't attest to the accuracy.

Automatic downloads only works with one Mac user account, can I get help?

I have three user accounts on my iMac, and I set up iTunes Automatic downloading on my iTunes account on my iMac user account. Then I went to set up my brothers iTunes automatic download on his iMac user account but it said the computer was already in use, and gave me options like transfer or cancel. Just to clarify this was an attempt with one iMac two user accounts and two separate iTunes accounts.

It appears we are all having the same issue, and for themost part talking about the same thing, but to reiterate:
1) One (1) computer, to help distinguish the devices letscall it an iMac
2) Two (2) or more distinct User ID’s on said iMac with fullAdmin permissions
3) Each distinct User ID on the iMac has a distinct Apple IDwith an associated iTunes and iCloud account
4) For every User ID / Apple ID there is a separate personwith their own iDevice
5) None of the iTunes accounts, iDevices or Apple ID’s arecross sync’d
5) (a) Forexample, Person 1 does not share apps, etc. with Person 2’s iTunes account. Weare assuming everyone distinct Apple ID / iDevice buys its own App’s, musicetc.
6) Only one (1) of the iMac User ID’s and that User ID’sassociated iTunes and iCloud account can have auto-download and iCloud servicesactivated at any one time.
6) (a) Just to be redundantly clear,that means that every other User ID / iTunes – iCloud ID/ iDevice CANNOTauto-download or sync to iCloud
Somewhat reformed PC guy here (wife is a life long Macuser), but all I can say is are you (*&^%$%^&* kidding me?
If I wanted these problems, and didn’t care about aestheticsor battery life, I would have stuck with Win-crap / Android for 50% or less ofthe cost.
Besides my preference for the Win-Devil UI (I know, I know…)I cannot believe after spending more than $4,500 on iFleecing this summer I amstill having issues like this (Mac Air, iMac, iPhone 4- two and the buy-out oftwo cell contracts).
Granted, when I plug something in, it works… the way Stevethinks I should want it to function.
In the hopes of avoiding some iFlogging by my fellow usershere, I concede the superiority, in every conceivable way, of all of thehardware and even like the MS Office suite in Mac better (at least not less). Ihave no intention of going back to the Win-Devil (don’t even run an emulator oneither computer), but this is a Windows-like screw-up.
