How come iPad will not let me turn on automatic d/l's for Music/Books

I am trying to turn on Automatic Downloads for Music and Books on my iPad in iOS5.
It keeps coming up with following error.
'This device is already associated with Apple ID'.
It does allow me to turn automatic downloads for Apps.
So at this point the apps are working using the cloud, but music and books are not.
How do I get rid of the error.
When I did purchase new music on my Mac, the iPad did pop up msg saying I d/l'd song and that I should turn on 'Automatic Downloads' for Music. But when I try to turn on the error above appears.
How to fix this?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and I look forward to your reply.

I think this is something to do with having more than one Apple ID and differing devices, I have one for my Apple Store activity and the rest are associated to my me.com address. I have the same problem on my Ipad 2 as I can't switch on Book sync and it comes up with the same error as you're having.
I did find this after searching around but I'm no more the wiser why this would be happening.

If anyone has an easy to follow way to fix this I'd really appreciate it as I am now totally confused.

How come Firefox will not let me change my homepage to Yahoo or Google?

I have this distorted Firefox logo with that little creature telling me to click on it. When I did I got the same response as others WASD, but nothing else happens. I have followed the instructions in previous answers and it fixes the problem until I shut down and restart. The same distorted logo appears. I have tried and tried to get rid of Firefox and go back to Yahoo or Google but it will not let me do it. The usual box that lets you type in the www.yahoo.com or www.google.com does not come up. Other than going to the tools where it tells me to go where can I get that box and I absolutely want to go back to one of the other websites. I can't restore my system back to when I had Yahoo because that was too long ago.

Quoting '''the-edmeister''' from https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1025706
That Click Me game is part of the Humble Mozilla Bundle promotion on the default Home Page [about:home], that loads from the Mozilla servers in the "Brand Logo" (DIV) section of about:home. A feature that was first used in Firefox 29 [IIRC] just prior to the start of the Olympic Games.
Also, part of that promotion is addressed in the "Snippet" below the Search Container on the about:home page.
If you want to block the "Brand Logo" section (and the "snippet" below the Search container) from ever being seen again, you can install [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/ Stylish] and this UserStyle. https://userstyles.org/styles/104673/about-home-hide-snippets-and-hide-brand-logo
Alternatively you can just change your home page at:
* Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Options > General
If your preferences aren't being saved, please see the article [[How to fix preferences that won't save]] as you may have third party software such as an anti-virus that is preventing changes to your preferences. If it is your anti-virus, you will need to temporarily disable that feature before changing your home page settings.

HT4915 My iPod touch will not let me turn off automatic downloads and match is clogging up everything will downloads that I don't want. Help!

After getting the match program my iPod is trying to download my entire library from the cloud. I have too much music and not enough space so it is constantly running trying to download and I haven't figured out a way to stop the downloads so that I can get what I want. When trying to deselect the automatic downloads it slides back to on. Is there a way to stop this madness? I can't even listen to what music I do have on it.

Having automatic downloads on does not cause iTunes Match to automatically download your Match library to your device. It only causes new purchases made on another device with the same ID to automatically download to your device.
Try turning off iTunes Match on your device, then turn it back on. If it's still downloading unwanted media, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store, tap your ID, sign out, then sign back in.

HT1923 I have an IPad that has the apple displayed and it does not show in ITunes. It will not let me turn it off. What do I do?

I have an IPad that is displaying the Apple with the bar under it. It will not let me turn it off and it does not show up in iTunes so I can't do a Restore. Can I do a Hard Reset?

You need to subscribe to iTunes Match to store your music on iCloud:

To transfer iTunes Store purchases made on your phone to your computer, connect your phone then choose "Transfer purchases..." from the File menu in iTunes.
Photostream transfers photos taken on your iOS devices to other devices and your computer. For troubleshooting Photostream see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989

Hello aweirandyski.1975,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From what you're describing appears to be Activation Lock, a security measure provided by Apple that makes it harder for people to use a lost or stolen device. You will need to enter the password for the Apple ID the device is prompting you for.
iCloud: Activation Lock

Sign in to itunes store will not disappear and the whole IPad will not let me go into other screens till this pop up goes away. I have entered the password several times and still will not disappear. Turned the IPad on and off but the pop up remain

FIrst try a soft reset by holding down the home & sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears then let go & let the iPad boot up normally.
If that doesn't help then to make sure you have a strong internet connection.
Try resetting Network Settings
Settings->General->Reset->Reset Network Settings,
You won't lose any data but will have to log back into your wifi networks.
Once logged back in and when the pop-up appears, try entering your password again.

My location services appears to be locked. They are in light grey and will not let me turn them on and off. New app requiring GPS i can't use due to this. How can i reset or fix?

Ipad will not charge or turn on after downloading IOS 7

Ipad will not charge or turn on and I have tried re-booting etc but nothing happening. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

Charge the device via a wall outlet for At least 10-20 minutes, then try this while it's still plugged in
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
(no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).
If that doesn't work then backup and then restore the device as new first (to isolate cause of the issue). Then from backup if necessary.

My iPad will not let me download an iTunes movie due to lack of space but I purchased more space and it still won't work

My iPad will not let me download an iTunes movie due to lack of space but I purchased more space and it still won't work

As stated above - purchasing more space in iCloud has nothing to do with this. You do not have enough space left on the iPad for the movie to download, you need to delete content on the device itself.
You may want to transfer purchases to iTunes and then delete some content on the device to make room.
Transfer purchases.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
This article explains how to delete content from the device

Do not delete any important content without backing up, transferring purchases or transferring files to your computer.

My iPad will not let me log into iTunes because it says that there is an un excepted server, and I don't know what to do

Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it jiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.

HT204534 I activated filevault 4 days ago and it has rendered my macbook pro unworkable. There is no estimated time showing in firevault, it seems stuck in the same place. It will not let me turn off firevault in Sec&P or CMD+R

OS X YOSEMITE 10.10.1. 13inch late 2011 2.4 GHz DDR3 500 gig
AFter installing Yosemite and enabling Firevault my machine has become so slow it is unusable whilst encrypting is in progress.
It will not let me turn it off.
THe estimated time remaining has never revealed itself ... it has been encrypting now for 4 days and the guider has not moved from its one quarter position.
IT will not allow me to turn it off via CMD+R
I am absolutely stuck.
HELP!
I have removed the power save options and keep the computer on all the time now with the Firevault screen visible .. nothing speeds it up.
I regret enabling Firevault .. but it is so unforgiving for the uninformed ... like me.

Back up all data before proceeding. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Disk Utility. In the Disk Utility window, select the icon of the startup volume from the list on the left. Then, from the menu bar, select
File ▹ Turn Off Encryption
Enter the login password of a user authorized to unlock the volume, or the alternate decryption key that was generated when you activated FileVault.
You can then restart as usual, if the system is working. Decryption will be completed in the background. It may take several hours, and during that time performance will be reduced.
