HT1420 It says I have to wait 90 days---- Help!!!

I reformated my hard drive. I backed up my songs on a web back up. I reinstalled itunes and restored all my songs from the back up. Now when i try to play my songs it says i have to wait 90 days. What can i do? Do i really have to wait 90 days?

If you've associated your phone with an account (associating an account) then you will need to try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can remove the association for you, nobody on here will be able to : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
Your post's title says transferring music to a different account, if that is what you want to do then it's not currently possible, all downloads from the store will remain tied to the account that downloaded it. And using iTunes Match, automatic downloads and redownloading an account's past purchases risks tying that computer or device to that account for 90 days.

I am wanting to activate iTunes Match on my iPad. But I get a message saying I have to wait 90 days

I am wanting to activate iTunes Match on my iPad. But I get a message saying I have to wait 90 days. Side note: I'm doing this for my mom and not knowing, she created a second Apple ID a while ago. I'm trying to get her ID's sorted out. Anyway, I am wanted to know if there's a work around for this. I know it's a safeguard created so people cannot endlessly log in and out of others accounts and share there music and stuff. So, any help?

There is no work around, you must wait the 90 days (or however long is remaining) before associating the device with another Apple ID.
Keep in mind that if you log into your mother's iPad with your iTunes Store Apple ID she will then be using that Apple ID for everything including purchases. Any apps purchsed with her Apple ID can not longer be updated on the device.

HT5622 When I go to down load music from my iPad off recent purchase say I have to wait 75 day

When I go to download music from my recent purchase it say i have to wait 70 day is there a way to reset this cause I dj and I use my iPad for music and I have no music on it

That message indicates to me that you were downloading purchased content with another Apple ID so that you didn't have to pay for it again. When you do that, you associate your iPad with that Apple ID for 90 days and you lock yourself out of your own ID until the 90 days is up.
In any event, you just have to wait it out now. You can't reset it.

My iPad says I have to wait 90 days to use a different Apple ID

Ok, I can kinda understand why Apple is trying to implement these measures, but its going to get into a hole heap of mess in my opinion.
I am going through my third iTunes Music Match configuration due to updates etc and its starting to get a painful exercise.
If I have to go through the whole process again, which we will since Apple is promising the impending library deletions, I not sure I want to bother!
Anyway, to get to the point of the problem, since I travel between the UK and the USA, I have two main Apple ID's.
My iPad2 is giving me the error "This device is already associated with an Apple ID" and informing me that I have to wait 90 days before I can switch.
I have no iCloud music showing up on my device and I am getting this error irrespective of which of my two Apple ID's I put into the settings!?
This seems a rediculous situation to get into, so I have no media available and before I can even try to fix the problem, I have to wait 90 days, really Apple!?!?
Even if I wait 90 days to try switching my Apple ID's, I'm not convinced I will still not get this error again so another 90 day debarcle could mean I'm without my media for half a year!!!!!
Not impressed!

Wait the 90 days. Anti-piracy restriction to prevent improper
media sharing. What was wrong with your old Apple ID that you
made a new one?

HT204406 My iPhone tells me that iTunes Match is associated with another account. But it works on my iPad and MacBook. It says I have to wait 90 days. Please Help!

My iPhone wants me to wait 90 days before I can use it again with iTunes Match. It is telling me that it is associated with another account. This is not true. I have tried restarting, logging out of the store, syncing with my MacBook ((where iTunes Match works). There seems to be no tech support for iTunes Match . I have not been able to find anything except this forum.
Thanks.

First which version of iOS are you currently running on your ipad? If running iOS 5.1 or later you can upadate righ from ipad using wifi.
You should use the same computer that you normally sync to (itunes, by default, will not let you sync to more than one itunes libray)
If not, you can turn off auto syncing.
Without the ipad connected to the computer, go to itunes preferences/devices and check the box at the bottom to prevvent ipads, iphones and ipads from syncing automatically.
Then reconnect ipad to computer.

Multiple Apple ID's on one computer - it says we have to wait 90 days to add the 2nd one?

I deauthorized our computer using my applie ID - I did not know it would deauthorize my husbands account as well.
I reauthorized it using my AppleID. Now my husband cannot authorize his account until 90 days go by. We share the computer, is there a way around this?
He is the one with the itunes match on his account & most of the music. Now he cannot access it for 90 days? Is that right?
I will forfeit my account on this computer if we can put his on.

A computer, as far as I know, can't have more than one iTunes library at a time. I could be wrong, since you seemingly did so previously? Either way, I'd say you will need to deauthorize your account and authorize his. If you still have trouble, then you will need to contact Apple support to reset the account or you might be better to just wait and contect them right away, get the "rules" of your situation and then see how they can help.
Oh, I think actually I found what might be your problem, yes you will need to contact Apple directly. The problem is a legal issue due to the addition of iCloud. So, it seems your computer accessing both accounts was a sort of grandfather glitch that you "fixed" when you deauthorized your account. Now, again due to legal reasons related to iCloud, you cannot authorize your husband's computer because otherwise what's stopping you from downloading all of your music, then downloading all of his music, then get a few friends together and download all of their music. Sure, you could copy the files over manually and add them (and that may be what you have to do for the next 90 days) but they can't allow it to be so easy as just downloading multiple accounts to your computer(s).

I know it says you have to wait 3 days for you money to clear after your item is delivered.

It's say my item was delivered at the door of the buyer on July 3rd at 8 pm and it is now past 8 pm on the 3rd day why isn't my money available am getting really Sick if this.

Contact customer services and ask them to release your funds. ******************************************** I give up my time to help you so a thank you or kudos would be cool.
Marking one of my replies as a solution would be appreciated if I sorted your problem.

ITunes accepted my de-authorize request but didn't reset. Now when I check it it says I have to wait till June 26th? There has to b a way to reset this! I can't wait to access my Cloud svcs etc for 2 months!

That means you had already done de-authorization once last Jun26. Please take note that you are only allowed to deauthorize all only once a year. Refer to this article:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
However, you may contact Apple Customer service for exception to the rule. Scroll down to bottom of this page and click Contact Us link. Go to Phone section for Phone number of your country and call them.

You can still deauthorize an individual computer from the iTunes Menus.
You can de-authorize only once a year 'all' computers from your iTunes account page.

HT5312 Why does it say I have to wait eight hours until I can buy something

Why does it say I have to wait eight hours before I can buy something???

Have you typed in the wrong answers to your questions ? That can result in a 8 hour block.
If you have a rescue email address on your account as described on the page that you posted from then you can use the steps half-way down that page to reset them.
If don't have one (you won't be able to add one, or change it, until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

I just bought many new iTunes songs now it's saying it is already loaded on another account I know it can't be so know it says I have to wait for 90days to listen to one song!

why do I have to wait 90 days for a song I payed my own money with its saying that it is already on my account but it won't let me download it but I bought it on this device

If you're running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher, go to System Preferences>iCloud. If you are signed into the wrong iCloud account, click Sign Out, then sign back in with the correcte ID and check Mail. Your iCloud email will be configured automatically. You can then open Mail and go to Mail>Preferences>Accounts, click your iCloud account, then on the Account Information tab, choose your @me.com address from the Alias drop-down list.

HT1420 Why do we have to wait 90days to authorise a computer to get past purchases?

I have switched to my regular PC, from my laptop that is now old and not so useful. I am disappointed that now I have to wait 90 days to get all the purchases I made from my laptop to my computer. Why is this? Why can't it be that simple?

The 90 days association to an account should only start if you use iTunes Match or automatic downloads on an account, or redownload an account's past purchases : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 - I believe that it's an attempt to try and stop people sharing/downloading their content on other people's computers/devices.
If you can't wait for the 90 days to complete then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can remove the association, but doing either of those three things on a different account is likely to start an association to that account instead : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
If you still have your library on your laptop then you should be able to copy it over from that :http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527

Why do i have to wait 90 days to download music I bought with another apple ID?

My iphone 5 is now linked to a 'business' Apple ID. I would like to change that to a personal apple Id that i used to purchase many songs. I did change the apple ID but when I turned on 'automatic downloads' for music, a message appeared saying: 'This device is already associated with an apple ID. If you turn on auto-downloads, you cannot download past purchases with a different apple ID for 90 days'.
Why do i have to wait 90 days to use music i bought with another apple ID? Is there another way to do this so that I don't have to wait 90 days?
Thanks

No. There is no getting around this limitation.

How can I create a new TC backup with ethernet, so I don't have to wait two days for a new wireless backup?

How can I create a new TC backup with ethernet, so I don't have to wait two days for a new wireless backup?
Several times in the last year, I've gotten a message that Time Machine needs to completely redo my backup. Using the wireless connection, this takes almost two days. Is there a way to do the backup with ethernet and then switch back to wireless? Thanks.

May I know what is needed to make sure the MacBook is able to see Time Capsule on ethernet?
Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the 2Wire gateway to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the Time Capsule.
If AirPort Utility cannot "see" the Time Capsule now, you will need to perform a "hard reset" by holding in the reset button for 7-8 seconds or so and then reconfigure the Time Capsule. You can use the same Time Capsule name and password, etc. as before.
Configure the Time Capsule to "Create a wireless network" and select the Bridge Mode option when it appears during the setup using AirPort Utility.
Once the Time Capsule is configured, restart the entire network again. Power down everything, start the 2Wire first and then start each other device after that one at a time about a minute apart.
Now you can connect your Mac directly to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule for the backup using another Ethernet cable. In general, about 20-25 GB per hour will transfer.
The Time Capsule will broadcast a much faster wireless network than the 2Wire can provide, so you might want to leave the setup "as is" for awhile after the first backup is complete. If you decide to use the Time Capsule as your main wireless access point, you would want to turn the wireless off on the 2Wire since two wireless networks in close proximity can create interference problems.
Or, if you want to use the wireless on the 2Wire, you could turn off the wireless on the Time Capsule. Then backups will occur over the 2Wire wireless, or over Ethernet.
I don't really recommend the "Join a wireless network" setting on the Time Capsule for most users, but you could go back to that setup as well if you want after the first backup is complete.

HT5661 I have my moms old ipod and I have been trying to put my itunes purchases on the ipod and it keeps telling my I have to wait 90 days before I can do this. Is there are way to get my purchases onto the ipod??

My mother gave me her old ipod since she has an iphone. I reset the ipod and signed in under my apple id but the ipod tells me I can't download my previous purchase music because I have to wait 90 days. What can I do instead of waiting 90 days to use the ipod? This is the 3rd generation I think without the camera.

You have to sync them from a computer that has those songs. You can't redownload for 90 days
This describes the 90 day period
