Help?! I use multiple Apple ID's to download purchases to my phone and am having trouble getting purchases from them all?!

Hi,
This situation has been causing me much stress and frustration for about a week now and I really hope I can get help here.
I got my first iPhone 5 this past June and synced purchases from my mom's computer to my phone and was able to use my own Apple ID to purchase music to my phone just fine. Everything was fine with having purchases from my Apple ID and from my mom's Apple ID on my phone until I recently got my new HP 2000 laptop with Windows 8 and set up an iTunes library under my own Apple ID. Before setting up iTunes on my computer, I cleared out my music library (containing songs purchased from my Apple ID and my mom's) due to an issue with my playlists. I re-synced my phone with my music on my computer and ran into a problem: I had to delete apps and tones bought with my mom's Apple ID. Not caring or thinking I let it delete the few apps and tones I synced from my mom's library. I got all my songs back on my phone and fixed the playlist issue. Everything was good, but I have songs and other purchases on my mom's account that I want on my phone. I read that I can't sync with two libraries though, which is a bummer. So, I decided to just sign in to her account on my phone and re-download purchases right from there. Well, when I tried I got a warning that stated, "this device is already associated with another Apple ID" and it tells me if I want to transfer purchases from her account, I'll have to wait 90 days if I want to re-download purchases from other Apple ID's? What does that mean? Is there away around all this so I can get purchases from other accounts on my phone without running into that warning? Will I be able to get the purchases to my phone at all?
I apologize if this is confusing, I'd be more than happy to provide any further clarification to those willing to help me. All replies are very much appreciated. Thank you to those who can help in advance!

Have you tried signing out and then back in?

My wife and I share apple id but have our own phones, and now having trouble with imessage

My wife and I share apple id but have our own phones, and now having trouble with imessage. Sharing calenders, apps, music, contacts, etc...all great. But when we imessage each other. Our phones get confused and either not deliver message, or send it to and from itself.

Go to Settings > Facetime and you will see "You can be reached for video calls at:"
This should list your phone number (iPhone) and your email address (probably the gmail one).
And then an option for "Add another email..."
Choose that and enter your @me.com account and it'll send a verification email.
Same for iMessage: Settings > Messages > "Receive at" > Add Another Email
So you can be called by facetime and use iMessage through multiple email accounts yes.

Can you access/use multiple apple ID's on one device?

Hello,
In our family we have been registering everything (ipods, iphones and computers) all under one apple id. We have made purchases with the family apple id which we have been accessing on multiple devices. With everyones different needs I am wondering about setting up new apple id's for different family members. Can I use multiple apple id's on devices like my iPhone and still access apps/books/music purchased on the family apple id's and if so how do I do this.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Why do you have 3 Apple IDs?
Apple IDs cannot be merged and items bought with one Apple ID cannot be transfered to another. A computer can only be associated with one Apple ID every 90 days for automatic downloads, re-downloading of past purchases or iTunes Match. There is no getting around this restriction.
One computer can be autorized to play content purchased with multiple Apple IDs, though.
My suggestion is to pick on Apple ID and stick with it for the future. Once you have decided, log into one of the other Apple IDs and download every avialble item you bought with that ID to your computer. Wait 90 days. Log into the other ID and do the same thing. Wait 90 days. Finally log into the "main" Apple ID and stay logged in. Keep current backups of all your purchased items on a local, external HDD.

Can you share songs and apps but use multiple apple ID's?

Can you share songs and apps but use multiple apple ID's?

hmm, that's a trick one! what I would do is go to Messages>preferences>accounts and then select imessages and then select account details and then sign out. Then your wife will need to sign in with her apple id.
hope this helps!!
let me know if that works because I've never actually tried it.
simply adding both of your accounts to be reached at will prove to be faulty because when you reply you can only reply with the one email address. And even if you switch caller id's it probably still won't work. So I think my method would be the easiest way to do that at this time.

Can I use multiple apple ids with iTunes Match?

My family has multiple apple ids although we share many devices. If we subscribe to iTunes Match, will it pull all the content from all the devices or just one apple id?

iTunes Match is associated with one, and only one, iTunes Store account. To use iTM on multiple devices all those devices must be signed into the mobile iTunes Store with the same AppleID.

I changed the name of my apple id and now I can't use the app store on my phone correctly because it's using my apple id's old name. I signed out and in on itunes and synced my iphone. Still doesn't work. Help please?

Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...sign back in with the ID you want to use.
Note: Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to originally obtain them. They cannot be updated using any other Apple ID other than the one they were originally obtained with.

Can I use multiple Apple store gift cards per transaction or is it has to be one gift card per transaction?

Can I use multiple Apple store gift cards (£25 each) per transaction or is it has to be only one gift card per transaction?? Does anyone know thanks

Hola, Eddy
notice that you have posted to an old thread (Oct-Nov2013) that actually took quite some time to get attention back then**
I recommend that you contact the Store Group regarding your purchase question - don't let the "iTune-ish" URL and page title throw you off... it's the right place
Store Group - Contact Us - Apple Support
** next time you have a question, I advise to check the dates carefully and if older than a month or so, AND it has no answer to your specific issue, start a NEW Question. You did a fine job of stating your exact issue - many folks, not so much.

I saved photos from my Macbook Pro onto my Iphone (using itunes, 4 years ago). My macbook is now dead and I need to get the photos I saved off of my iphone 3GS transferred to a pc. Any help... From my PC I can only access "internal storage"

The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The picture sycn is one way - computer to iphone. The photos are also reduced in size when synced to iphone so they are not of the original quality
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup of your computer.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good at all, you can e-mail the pics to yourself - keep in mind they will never be of the original quality
