Can't play my library: "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID...you can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days.  You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 88 days." Got a fix?

Since my daughter burned a CD from my computer using our shared libraries I cannot play my library.  This pops up:  "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID.  You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 88 days."  I can get as far as viewing my library but listening is denied by this pop-up.  Can anyone help, please?   I just noticed my (this) computer is not showing as registered to my account. Hmmm....a clue perhaps?

Do you have a question?

  • I am trying to redownload the music we lost after computer crashed.a message is showing this computer is already authorized with an apple id, if i download past purchases with my id i can not auto-download or download past purchases for 90 days????

    What does auto-download mean and why am i getting this message?

    Just to be clear - I just bought a new song and can't download it into the library because of this error message.

  • Help! itunes 12 wont allow users to redownload past purchases all at once like it used to. Is there a way around this?

    Help! For some reason i-tunes 12 wont allow users to re-download past purchases all at once like it used to. Is there a way around this? It will only allow you to download what it calls "Recent Purchases" which in my case only would allow 250 items. I know i have at least 700 tracks if not substantially more possibly over 2000 tracks but I can't be sure. I don't know how to find that information, I've looked in itunes under the my account past purchases but id doesn't tell you how many total songs you have purchased or any relevant details. It only shows you small chunks of receipts by date but no total tracks purchased in an easy to view snapshot that I could find. The current support page says that if you have more then 2000 songs the "ALL SONGS" tab now listed above the left pan with all your purchased artists, will change to "Recent Purchases". IF apple changed this on purpose to stop user from downloading there entire library to cut down on bandwidth they have really upset me this time. At present the only way I can download all past purchases is by selecting each artist listed in the left pan one by one selecting the "Download ALL" button at the bottom right corner of the page at which point I have to input my apple password each time, which really slows things down. I have hundreds of artists and if this is the only way for customers to re-download there entire library this is ridiculous and really unnecessary to put customers through this kind hassle just to re-download all there past purchases when the whole idea of i-cloud is to make downloading and using your music simple, quick, and convenient on multiple devices. I know the old saying "your responsible for backing up your data" yeah I know that and I've been doing that for years when no one really should ever have had too. There is no reason a service that sells music digitally should not allow customers to be able to re download content purchased on there service regardless of the fact that people should just back up anyway as an extra precaution. Well sometimes backups fail like in my case and I have to re-download. No wonder paid subscription plans are so popular. You don't have to deal with any of these issues. I can only hope this is some kind of oversight by apple and will be fixed soon. Can anyone offer a quicker solution or any information about this issue? I would greatly appreciate any helpful assistance.
    Again this is for Windwos 8.1 x64 with Itunes 12.0.1.26

    After spending way too much time dealing with this issue myself, I discovered that you can:
    - Within "My Music", select all the songs you need to download (all w/ the cloud icon - use Shift-Click)
    - Right click and select download
    All songs will begin downloading from iCloud

  • You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 90 days.

    So i signed into my other itunes account to download some purchase i had made on that account, went to sign back into my new account and download purchases i had made on my iphone adn it tells me "You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 90 days.". This is a shared family computer with multiple Apple IDs being used on it. Not cool apple. This needs to be figured out. Not acceptable for families that have more than one apple ID to have to wait 3 months to download old purchases. Get real. Any way i can 'override' this?

  • HT5731 I bought a full season of a TV show. I downloaded all episodes. When I go into my iTunes library, select the episodes I get a message of: This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. I can't for the life of me get the TV show to play.

    I bought a full season of a TV show. I downloaded all episodes, I went to my  iTunes library, selected the episode I wanted to watch. I got this message: This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. I can't for the life of me get the TV shows to play. I went on iTunes and when to my purchases. Clicked on the episodes and the same message popped up. How do I get these to play? I also see my download box with an error message saying it has paused the download. I click unpause and it just pauses again. I have been able to get one of the episodes to play once through, but now it gives me the same message.

    It's been months, so you may not care anymore, but you can't download songs from multiple Apple IDs over a 90 days period.  Sorry, it's not allowed for legal reasons.

  • You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 5 days.

    I only have 1 Apple ID.  I turned off iTunes Match on my iMac, and now I cannot turn it back on.  I get this error when I try to just turn iTunes Match back on, on the same computer, with the same Apple ID that I used orginially to subscribe to iTunes Match:
    This computer is already associated with an Apple ID.

    I checked for iTunes updates.  None are available since I am using the latest.
    I stopped/started iTunes.  I rebooted the iMac.
    NOTHING HELPS!!!!!!!!
    I have a Mac Mini and I use the same Apple ID on iTunes there.  I was able to turn iTunes Match off and back on with no trouble at all but my iMac refuses to allow me to turn on iTunes Match.
    Now what do I do?

    Unless you really only have one AppleID that you use with the iTunes Store there's really nothing you can do. In the case of having only one AppleID you should contact iTunes Store support, since that would be a server-side problem.

  • HT4913 iTunes Match:You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 85 days. What can I do?

    I'm subscribed to iTunes Match but when I turn it on I get this message:You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 85 days. What can I do?

    I had this happen back in December/January. I sold my MBP that I used to subscribe to iTunes Match back in December. In January, I bought a used MB and tried to use iTunes Match on it. I was told I had to wait nearly two months to use it on the new computer. I waited and was finally able to use it in the new computer.\
    Sadly, this has more to do with the content providers (Record lables / movie studios) than it has to do with Apple impsoing the restrictions.

    Hello BW1968,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your 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.
    Best of luck,

  • You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 60 days. Why?

    You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 60 days.  How can I use more than one apple ID with one MacBook pro ?

    Hi
    No - that is the issue - both my husband and I use the same computer and want to be able to use our individual Apple IDs so can access our download content e.g. I-books that we have purchased through our other MAC devices such as I-Pad.  In the past, we had four people using one computer with no problem regarding Apple ID.   In the newer operating system, we are now restricted to one at a time - it means one of us is blocked out from accessing our content for a period of 90 days.   Have you any suggestions on how we can both use our individual Apple IDs with the same lap-top?  We have set up discrete accounts so we log on to the computer individually.  Many thanks for any help.

  • I tried to download old purchases onto my ipod on my pc screen it popped up with this "You can download past purchases on this computer with just one apple IDevery 90 days.You cannot associate this computer with a different apple ID for 6 days"

    Help is needed i payed a lot for my purchases !!!

    You can use multiple AppleIDs to purchase new music but you are limited as to how frequently you can change authorizations for re-downloading  past purchases.  It may well be a measure to deter piracy by stopping a group of people from going around to a friend's computer and downloading purchases on the other person's computer.  It is easy to avoid by making sure you have backup copies on drives at home so you never need to redownload anything.
