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.

Why cant i download music in the Uk the same time as the USA why do we have to wait weeks and weeks to download music when other countries can download it straight away?

#itunes store. Why cant i download music in the UK the same time as in the USA? Why do we have to wait weeks and weeks to downloand music when other fans can dowload music in other coutries when it is released in the US?

Itunes can only provide what the owners of the distribution rights to the music provide.
If the owner of the rights do not provide it, then itunes cannot sell it.
You would have to ask the owners of the distribution rights in each country why they do not provide them at the same time.

Hi bca_sd,
The download of Acrobat should not take this long.
Are you connected to high speed internet connection?
Please try downloading from the direct download links available at: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html
You might also want to try downloading from a different network connection and check.
Regards,

HT5312 Why do I have to wait for someone to respond

Why do I have to wait for someone to respond for me to receive a rescue mail this is unacceptable I am a first time buyer and don’t have time to remember all the sully password and security questions. This just come to show that that all the problems I have been having with my iPhone 5 just carries over to the poor design of all Apple user products.
I will never buy an apple product again!

Ok, well thanks for sharing. I'm certain we will miss you.

Why do I have to Wait 90 Days to reset to Kiehne@aps.edu

Why do I have to wait 90 Days Why Can't you guys reset it? For me to download Purchases already Purchased

Most of the people on these forums, including myself, are fellow users - you're not talking to iTunes Support here.
I believe that the 90 day limit is an attempt to stop people logging into their accounts on other peoples computer's and copying and sharing purchases.
You can try contacting iTunes Support via this link and see if they can remove the 90 day limit : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

When i Select .. Into a VARCHAR bind variable, i have to initialize the variable before, otherwise i get an ORA-1458.A bind variable in a SQL is simply a place holder. The SQL engine has no idea what data type the value for that placeholder will be. When itself needs to return a value via that placeholder to the caller, it needs to know what the limits/size of the caller's variable is that will be receiving the value from it.
The way that the SQL engine knows what the data type and size are of a placeholder/bindvar, is by you the caller, telling it.. by binding the variable you will be using, to this placeholder.
This bind process "exposes" the data type and size of the variable that will be used for binding (sending/receiving data).

HT1727 I purchased an iPad. I also have and existing iPhone. I'm trying to get app purchases onto my iPad. I downloaded the apps from iTunes to the iPad. The apps are on my iPad but are faded with "waiting" below. Nothing is happening.

I purchased an iPad. I also have an existing iPhone. I'm trying to get my purchased apps from my phone to my pad. I used iTunes and downloaded the apps to my iPad. The apps icon is dim and the word "waiting" or something like that is below. It's like the screen is frozen now. Help!! I can get out of the screen and start over but it leads me to this same point.
Thanks!!

Welcome to the Apple community.
Try tapping the app again to restart the download. Downloading from the iTunes Store has been a little problematic of late, but if you keep trying they do eventually download.

Since upgrading to LionEvery time I wake the computer from sleep mode I have to wait several minutes until the computer connects to the Internet

Since upgrading to LionEvery time I wake the computer from sleep mode I have to wait several minutes until the computer connects to the Internet

I have found that Lion is slower to connect to WiFi when awakening than were previous Mac OS X versions. However, the WiFi connection usually takes less than 15 seconds unless a Time Machine backup was interrupted when my computer was put to sleep. When this happens and the computer awakens, the Time Machine backup attempts to continue prior to the WiFi connection having been made. Until the Time Machine backup fails due to its inability to connect to my Time Capsule because of no WiFi connection, or I stop it manually, the WiFi connection will not occur. So if Time Machine backups are on, you may be experiencing this bug which I have reported to Apple.

When I turned on iCloud backup now when I synch to iTunes it asks if I want to set up as new phone or restore from backup. Why? I have been synching this iPhone to this computer fine since I got my iPhone 4S.

1. set up as new
2. transfer you wife's purchases.
3. Just in case create one computer back up manually.
Enjoy.

Mavericks does really nasty stuff..
Try manually mounting the sparsebundle and extract the files you want.
Yet another Pondini reference. http://pondini.org/TM/15.html
We have avoided Mavericks you see knowing that it would cause these kinds of issues..
You never ever load a new OS without doing a disk image beforehand.. TM is not reliable enough or trustworthy to be depended on.
If none of the above work..
I would get a USB drive on the computer and install Mountain Lion or whatever OS you had before you unfortunately upgraded to Mavericks.. Then use TM from that decent installation but mount the sparsebundle and choose the backup from a date well before mavericks was installed.
Once you have extracted the files.. or even done a full restore you might be able to extract the files you want.

Why do I have to wait for something that can be activated now?

I ordered AT&T Internet and a landline only last week. Why can't at the landline be activated now? The scheduling department tells me I have to wait until Thursday August 6th. You would think something so easy could be done immediately through "the wires". I see U-Verse trucks at my apartment complex almost on a daily basis. If you can read this AT&T, can you please activate the landline for order # [edited for privacy – please do not post personal information] ASAP?!
Thank you,

Why are my payments for non-eBay sales pending and how can I prevent this? If you recently started to sell with PayPal and you don’t have any selling history with us, payments you receive (except eBay payments) are now being placed into your pending balance. As long as there are no problems with the transactions, you’ll have the money within 21 days.
Typically, you can access these payments within 7-14 days if you:Send the item to the buyer’s postal address, as shown on the Transaction Details pageMark the item as sent on the Transaction Details page and provide the dispatch details (for digital goods, mark the item as processed on the Transaction Details page).Once you complete the below requirements, you won’t be considered a new seller any more, and you should receive future payments sooner.Receive a predetermined number of paymentsWait a predetermined number of days from the date you received your first payment.You can also view your remaining requirements and confirm your identity at any time by logging in to your account and visiting the Resolution Centre.

Why do I have to wait between calls?

I'll try to explain myself.
After making or receiving a call and hanging up I have to wait a minute or so before making another call. If I try to make the call immediately after I hang up the previous call, the call does not go through (the screen does back to the home screen showing 'call ended'). This problem sometimes goes away after restarting the iPhone. Has anyone else had this problem? Is this a hardware issue?
My phone is an iPhone 5 32GB with less than one month of use.

It goes away after a reset, but unfortunately the problem comes back. Have not tried a Restore... What would be the proper way to restore? Should I restore from backup or do I have to add all apps one by one, add email accounts, etc.?
