Device associated with my Apple ID in iTunes

Hi,
There is one more device associated with my Apple ID and I cannot figure it out whose ID that device belongs to. It has been a long time now that device is still linked with my Apple ID for all downloads and purchases from the iTunes App Store. How can I find out the actual Apple ID of that device, I asked the iTunes Support for that ID but my apple id shows up every time obviously that device has been using my ID for all the downloads. Is it possible to get that ID, the user name of that device?

As the device is showing on that screen then it's still tied to your account (so only your account can be being used on it for iTunes Match, automatic downloads, and redownloading past purchases). It's probably unlikely that iTunes Support will tell you if a different account is being used on the phone (or anything else about it).
Does 'RMAK' mean anything to you, and/or have you had any other iPhones in the past that you've since sold or given away, or might you have logged into your account on another phone back in January 2013 ? If you don't know whose phone it is then you could click the 'remove' button, that will stop it using your account, and change your account's password e.g. by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and logging into it, via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com

How can I change the name of devices associated with my Apple ID in iTunes?

We have 3 iPads and 4 iPhones in our family. All of the iPads show up on the list of devices associated with my Apple ID as simply "iPad". All of the iPhones show up simply as "iPhone", even though each device has a distinct name on the device itself (ie. Mark's iPhone). How can I get the distinct name to show up on the list of devices so I can keep the list updated as we add or remove devices from our collection?

Not it it's an @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com address. In that case your choices are to either create an email alias within the existing account, which delivers email to your existing iCloud inbox (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a), or create a new iCoud account. Note: alias addresses are permanently tied to the account that you create them in; they cannot be used to create a new iCloud account or be moved to a different account in the future.

Without using iTunes, I want to browse to an Apple website that shows me the list of devices associated with my Apple Id

My primary goal: I want to browse to some Apple website where I have already logged in using my Apple Id and password, and I then want to click a link that will bring me to a page that will show me the Apple Devices that I "own", that are associated with either "me" (whatever that entity Id should be) or with my Apple Id. Most importantly, I want to do this without using iTunes. I have seen my list of devices before on an Apple web page, and it even shows the MAC addresses of the devices. I did not reach this list by using iTunes.
I know for an absolute fact that an Apple Customer Service rep on the phone showed me some trick for viewing all the devices that I had purchased. There was even a device that another person had purchased and then had sold to me, and this Apple rep showed him how to "disown" the device and she then walked me through how I could take over ownership of the same device).
The procedure that she walked me through might not have anything to do with my Apple Id. It might have had to do with some other unique way of identifying myself. I simply cannot remember, and I cannot imagine what that Id would have been. I have searched and searched via Google and every result returned by Google always talks about using iTunes to associate an Apple device with my Apple Id.
My secondary goal: If this is not the appropriate community to which I should have sent this question, all I can say is that it was the closest match that I could find. If no one here can help me achieve my primary goal, can you please suggest another community to which I should post my question?
Thanks!

After hours and hours of failed searches, I must have used a different keyword in my Google search, and here is the website that I was looking for:
https://supportprofile.apple.com
And here is the guy whose website I found that helped me solve my problem:
http://www.marcomc.com/2011/01/how-to-find-the-list-of-my-apple-registered-produ cts/
I was going to rant here about how badly Apple designed their "Apple Id" stuff, how they strongly distinguish between using your Apple Id at the online Apple Store vs. using it at the App Store (which you have to get to via iTunes ... quite ridiculous) ... but I won't. :-)
Anyway, I hope that the two previously mentioned websites will be of help to others.

Have multiple devices associated with one Apple ID: iPod Touch and Ipad Mini stopped sending/receiving iMessages and FaceTime all of a sudden

This is the listing of what we have:
Ipod Touch 4th Gen for daughter
Ipod Touch 5th Gen for another daughter
Ipad 3
Ipad Mini
Iphone 4S
Iphone 4S
For sharing/downloading convenience, all of these are linked to one apple ID. iMessage and FaceTime were working flowlessly when we set it up. Yes, there was a problem initially where some devices were receiving someone else's texts, but they were resolved when I went to Settings and chose a specific # or email address for each DEVICE (so there's no overlapping)
All of a sudden, my daughter's Ipod Touch 4th Gen started having problems sending messges. Sending bar will go up to the end then stop right before it gets completely full--end result, message not delivered. I tried to facetime her, but nothing happens. Sometimes when I try facetiming ipod touch 4th, I'd get an error message '____ is not available for FaceTime'
I've confirmed the email address associated with ipod Touch 4 has been added and verified under my apple ID. I've tried restoring the iPod in iTunes, hard resetting the unit, turning off and on iMessage/FaceTime... and still doesn't work.
All our software is up to date. By the time I started thinking maybe ipod touch 4th gen is getting old, my husband's newly bought ipad MINI started having the same problem.
This is really frustrating---help?

We're screwwwwwed! Not THAT familiar to apple, just barely plugging along and dove in with two ipads and two ipod touches. Previous experience was just two ipods (160 GB) that I had to still rotate audio books out of every few months... well, for me. My wife doesn't use hers as much. ANYWAY, I lost a zillion things with the ipod classic since it didn't have a back-up option and many of the CDs I scrounged up when it first came out were already lucky to have survived college. 8 years later and the computer that had the original files had been replaced umpteen times. ipods failed and decided to quit being a tight wad. Not sure if these gifts are worth it yet.... well, two of them were.

I do not have any device associated with my Apple ID (any more), but would like to associate my iPhone and my iPad. In the Account Information of my Apple ID, there is no menu for Manage Devices (as there are none connected). How can I associate them?

I appreciate your help.

Thanks for answering. Sorry for my ignorance and basic knowledge, Chris CA, but
1. I do not want to buy iTunes Match.
2. I thought associating is e. g. necessary when you would like to be able to localise your device via iTunes on your PC.
3. I suppose that the association has something to do with your rights on which devices and PC you can play your downloaded items.
Any clarification is welcome.

Where do I find a list of devices associated with my apple account and how can I delete specific devices?

I am trying to delete my daughters' phones from my apple account after setting up separate accounts for them. Where can I do this?
Thanks!

Hi corbi111,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The resource below will explain the alert you are seeing.

When you turn on iTunes Match, Family Sharing, or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, that device becomes associated with your Apple ID. You can associate your Apple ID with up to 10 devices, with a maximum of 5 computers at any time. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. You don't need to authorize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
After you associate a device with your Apple ID, you can't associate that device with another Apple ID for 90 days.See your associated devices
You can see the devices associated with your Apple ID in iTunes on your Mac or PC:
Click to open your account in iTunes, or use these steps:
Open iTunes, choose Store > Sign In, then enter your Apple ID and password.
Choose Store > View Account.
Click Manage Devices in the iTunes in the Cloud section. If you haven't associated any devices with your Apple ID, you won't see the Manage Devices section.
Next to each device, you can see when it associated with your Apple ID. You can also track how many days remain before you can associate your device with a different Apple ID.Remove an associated device
To remove a device or computer from your Apple ID:
Click to open your account in iTunes, or use these steps:
Open iTunes, choose Store > Sign In, then enter your Apple ID and password.
Choose Store > View Account.
Click Manage Devices in the iTunes in the Cloud section.
Click Remove next to the device that you want to remove.
When you remove your Apple ID from a device, the 90-day limit stays in place on that device. But you can associate your Apple ID to another device that doesn't have the 90-day limit. Depending on when you associated the device, you might need to wait to associate it to a new Apple ID.

Everytime I purchase using iTunes on my home computer it asks me to verify my c/card, and states "Your Apple ID, ..., was just used to purchase ... from the iTunes Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.

When i use my laptop to make an iTunes store purchase, it always asks me to verify my account details by entering my credit card verification number. After i do this i then receive an email stating "Your Apple ID, ..., was just used to purchase ... from the iTunes Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID."
My Laptop is my home device and apart from purchasing app's on my iphone 4, i only use my laptop to make itunes purchases.

I'm having a similar problem. I had previously (over a year ago) purchased 2 episodes of Law & Order. Then about 2 months ago, I purchased the 3rd season of Sons of Anarchy. When I downloaded these episodes to my iPad, about a dozen full seasons of various shows popped up, too. No money was removed from my iTunes account & theses particular shows aren't in my iTunes library on my desktop. I've tried every which way to delete them from my ipad, but can't. I went to the Apple store & they suggested I contact expresslane.apple.com for help. I submitted my problem, via email Friday, as they asked, but have not received any response. Any suggestions on how to get rid of these "phantoms?".

When trying to access music stored on my icloud i get the following warning 'This computer is already associated with an Apple ID'. itunes support say they have 'released' all devices associated with my account but i still have the same problem-any ideas?

cant access music sored in my icloud when using my lap top. any ideas?

iTunes imposes a 90 day wait period before a device can be associated with a different ID. If iTunes support only removed all devices associated with your ID, this does not override the 90-day wait period. From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627:
"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."
Unless iTune support can override the wait period for you, you have no choice but to wait if you want to download it from iCloud. If your purchases music is on any of your iOS deivces, you can transfer it to the iTunes library on your computer by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in iTunes, Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting your device to your computer, opening iTunes, and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.

This Device is already associated with an Apple ID after subscribed iTune match.

Since subscribed iTune match, I cannot listen to my music although I enabled iTune Match for my iPad2. Instead, it always displayed "This Device Is Already Associated With An Apple ID. You can use iTunes Match on this device with just one apple ID every 90 days. This device can be used with another Apple ID in 75 days." I only pressed "OK".
Who could help me or give me suggestions about that.
Thanks.

Well, that's a bummer. I guess Apple thinks no one ever travels. I live in 2 countries and thus have 2 different accounts with 2 different credit cards. Now that iTunes match deleted my entire catalogue on my iPad 2 because I signed in with my second country account yesterday to buy an App. I resigned into my first country account today only to have everything deleted. No I have to wait a few weeks to put my music back on my iPad until I return to my first country and transfer it from my Mac. Argh!

My itunes comes up with this when i try to download purchased songs: this devise is already associated with an apple id. this devise can be used with another apple id in 82 days. i need help to see if i can fix this problem please.

i have an iphone 4s i signed out of my itunes on the devise and my friend signed herself into ituned but i signed her out an myself back in but my purchased songs and tones cannot download. it gives me a message of:this device is already associated with an apple id. this device can be used with another apple id in 82 days! is there anyway for me to fix this or override something. im freaking out!!

Sorry: once a device has been authorised for a particular iTunes account you can't change it to another until 90 days have passed. This is to prevent people cirumventing the restrictions of purchases to one account from consteantly swopping between accounts. You will have to wait for the 82 remaining days, and there is no workaround.

Family Sharing and Device is already associated with an Apple ID

I apparently have no idea how Family Sharing works.
I have had an Apple ID for as long as they have existed. As my daughters grew up and got iPods and iPhones, they always use this ID for iTunes. Now with Family Share we thought they could each have their own Apple IDs and keep the music we already purchased, purchase music in the future and I would pay for it.
So the very first time my daughter tries to purchase a song she does so with a gift card. She redeemed the card under her account and purchased $15 worth of music. However, it won't let her download the music she purchased. An alert pops up and says:
"This Device is Already Associated with an Apple ID: If you download past purchases with your Apple ID, you cannot auto-download or download past-purchases with a different Apple ID for 90 days. CANCEL or TRANSFER"
All she is trying to do is download the songs she purchased with her gift card and she is getting this notice. The songs did not download when she purchased them, I don't know why.

Not 100% on this but it sounds similar to what i had. My wife and i shared an apple id for the same reason. When we went to family sharing we had to create a new id for her.
Your future is with family sharing for sure, it is great once established and perfect for you...so i would go ahead and click the transfer. all your old purchases (which i assume is under your id) will be available under your heading and can be re-downloaded.
the 90 day warning applies to the old apple id (i.e. yours) with that device only. it will now be associated with your daughters.
you may also want to go to https://supportprofile.apple.com/ and change any registered products associated with your id

I'm trying to turn on automatic downloads, but I see an alert that says 'This device is already associated with an apple ID.'

I recently bought a new ipod 4 gen 32 G. I had an 8 g .I'm trying to turn on automatic downloads so when I buy a song from Itunes it automatically downloads without plugging it into computer to sync. When I turn on Auto Downloads, It say...This device is already Associated with an apple ID You can auto-download purchases on this device with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this device with a different Apple ID for 30 days. When I click OK it turns th downloads off..Can someone help me? I've returned the 8g to regular factory settings as I'm giving it to a friend.

You have to wait. See:

You can still sync the media from your iTunes library
