ITunes/Apple ID 90-day ban

So my mom recently bought a new iPad (air) and she wanted to restore from her old account, which makes sense. We are giving our old iPad to my cousin, so I was wiping that one, so that they can start clean (and not have our stuff on it). My mom doesn't have iTunes on her netbook, and uses her iPad for the internet and basically everything, so I did all of the restoring from my mac. I then re-logged into my own Apple ID, and thought I was good to go. I bought a couple of albums off of iTunes with my phone, and tried to put it into my iTunes library to sync (you know, where you click the little cloud-arrow icon) and I got the 90-day wait for the ID. I usually wouldn't care, but the only place where the songs pop up are in the Recently Added playlist. They don't show up in my library. I'm worried that they'll be lost in 2 and a half months, and I won't have them on backup.
tl;dr I tried to be helpful and got screwed. What do I do with the 90-day ban so that I don't lose recently bought music?

iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 - In connection with, "When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID." "Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days."
It sounds like as part of doing things for your mother you associated the computer with her Apple ID.  You then tried to change back to re-download your purchases to your computer from the Store because the first download was done to your phone.  Read the section above very carefully because it outlines the specific instances where you hit this timer.
Transfer them from your phone to your computer, do not try to re-download them from the Store.

  • How can I restore corrupted purchase download for my second Apple ID without 90-day ban

    Hello!
    The common thing leading to problems with Apple ID — I changed the country.
    I have a lot of software / music that I bought in AppStore/iTunes for my previous country, however recently my previous credit card was, say, gone, and I don't want to revive it for the moment. I've paid a dept (it was hard to find a way to pay a dept in a country where there's no gift cards, but it is another story) and decided to change the card to None not to mess with new debts (and it works).
    I've searched through a lot of forums here and I found that it is pain to change country for an existing Apple ID (it leads to problems updating software not accessible in other country AppStore), so I've created another, new Apple ID and attached it to a new credit card.
    Few days ago I've purchased several music albums with the new Apple ID and it started downloading it to my iPad, but the connection in the end was bad (I've started downloading with Wi-Fi and some time later forgot this fact and moved out of the hotspot, while songs continued to be downloaded), and iTunes downloaded just several songs from some albums and haven't downloaded several complete albums, while removing them from download list (and I am sure that I haven't cancelled them manually!). Now I have just parts of the albums, but when I try to re-downoad them from iTunes, it says that my Apple ID will be blocked to be used on this device for 90 days if I will do it — Agree / Cancel. So I cancel all the time.
    I don't want to make this new Apple ID primary on any device since I use truly a lot of software and listen a lot of music I bought for an old account and I have no such in new one. However, I can say, "let's this iPad be the source for the new music I've bought and I will listen the old music on some other Apple device I have" (but what if I'd have none?), but there seems to be no way to do it, since I will also lose all previous software on this iPad if I will make this ID primary.
    Auto-downloading is totally off for both accounts, however, as I understand, it is an issue with iTunes in the Cloud.
    Is there a way to resolve it or it is just another post of pain? I actually bought music for both accounts, it seems to be something illegal with the fact I can not download it without limitations.

    Not so. All my computers are bound (authorized) to the old Apple ID and I don't want to change it because, as I get it, then I will lose all the software I need (I mean, updates/re-downloads and that stuff) for 90 days (among with music I previously bought, but it is secondary). Also I can not authorize any other computer for my id (unless their owners are not my enemies ) because they will be in the very same situation.
    Re-downloading music/purchases second time (and iTunes treats that failed one as the first one, like "you got these files", while actually I'm not, for all devices where I login with new Apple ID) requires authorizing computer or device to the new Apple ID which sequentially bans all re-downloading for 90 days.
    I know everyone is tired here of posts like this one, I see there are a lot of similar discussions, and I also think that it is required to do something to solve al least most of problems of guys who change countries and this strange re-download restriction (I understand it's about security and downloads fee). So it is discussed a lot here and may be something changes, and anyway if not, my post will do not add something new to it. I have a single problem I hope will be resolved, because I bought this stuff and I can not use this stuff (even if I'd be stupid enough to cancel this downloads by myself — I own this stuff, files are still fragile things, even when they are spread to the clouds), digital purchases in iTunes are still not like non-digital where I have guarantees.

    Dear Leslie J.,
    Your Apple ID was used to sign in to iCloud and iMessage on an iPad mini named “Leslie Joye's iPad”.
    If you have not recently set up an iPad with your Apple ID, then you should change your Apple ID password. Learn more.

    1. It is never a good idea to include personal info like your email address or Apple ID in a post on an open forum.
    2. The email you received DOES NOT say your Apple ID cannot be used to unlock this iPad. The email informs you that your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad. Fortunately the iPad is yours. The message confirms that. If your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad that was not yours your would then know to change your password. Since the iPad is yours you do not need to change your password.
    Is your iPad working?

  • Why is itunes download so slow on apple tv (3 days now) but I can download same movie to computer instantly? What has changed?

    I rented a movie via itunes on my apple tv 3 days ago. I still cannot view it on my television. I have checked all internet connections, routers, speedtests..etc and have come to the conclusion that it is simply the itunes download on apple tv. I can view netflix no problem on the same apple box.
    I now have downloaded the same movie to my computer and am watching almost instantly. What is happening here? I used to rent movies on itunes via apple tv and get almost instant streaming now it's incredibly slow!

    It doubful thats its your PC per se, alot of people are reporting the store being alittle on the slow side.
    It won't last long, its just apple make all these changes 3-4 days ago, a week or 2 they will have it all str8.
    You can overlook your network setup tho, make sure the connection isn't looping around thru ports on the router and slowing you down. I doubt thats it tho, iTUnes increased the resolution of there video, so in turn the files are bigger. This is why iTUnes now has a download manager in it so you can pause things when needed

  • TS3694 itunes error (-42404) -- Okay, getting a little frustrated (but then again, who isn't a little frustrated?). I recently tried to upgrade iTunes software a few days ago but it failed. What is (-42404) error code mean?

    itunes error (-42404) -- Okay, getting a little frustrated (but then again, who isn't a little frustrated?). I recently tried to upgrade iTunes software a few days ago but it failed. What is (-42404) error code mean?
    I get the following:
      (1) iTunes - The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you? Yes/No
      (2) iTunes - The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones could not be repaired. Please reinstall iTunes if you wish to use these devices. OK
      (3) iTunes error message - A required iTunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall iTunes. (-42404) OK
      (4) iTunes error message - We could not complete your iTunes Store request. A required iTunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall iTunes. (-42404) There is an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later. OK
    Okay, so I decided to uninstall and reinstall. Funny, iTunes can be found in a program folder, but it does not show up in the programs list. I tried to look for it using the command prompt ("wmic" --> "product get name") but iTunes is not there either. Doesn't even show up in the registry to try to uninstall.
    I just want to "properly" uninstall and reinstall iTunes (plus the other usual suspects, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, & Apple Application Support). If anyone out there has any suggestions, please help! (I'm running Windows Vista -- don't judge/laugh) :-)

    Okay, feeling like an idiot, but will share so others don't have to. I rebooted my computer and that enabled iTunes to reappear in the programs list. Don't appear to be having the same problems as before (no error messages now). Problem solved!

    Hi Drgeert-
    The hub may not be broken per se, but Apple has made adjustments to the limits on current that can be drawn from ports.
    You probably need a new hub.

  • HT1657 i rented a movie on my account on a friends apple TV 3 days ago, never watched it, and now I'm logged back in and it's not available to me... Don't I have 30 days to watch?

    i rented a movie on my account on a friends apple TV 3 days ago, never watched it, and now I'm logged back in on my macbook and it's not available to me... Don't I have 30 days to watch?  Is there somewhere you can find rented movies that I'm not seeing? 

    I had the same issue with my apple tv 3rd generation. I rented Sinister and selected the "rent and watch now" option. Half way through the movie I accidentally pressed the menu button. When I looked for the rented movie on my apple tv I could not find it. Not even above the movie pannel where "purchased" and "top movies" comes up on the main menu. the apple tv suggests to go to settings>downloads but I don't have that option. I did go to settings> itunes store> check rentals but that didnt work either. It took too long to even check. Thank you because this SOLUTION worked great.
    SOLUTION: How to reset apple tv 3 3rd generation to view rented movies:on the apple tv remote: press and hold "menu" to go to the main menu. Select SETTINGS> GENERAL >RESET >RESET ALL SETTINGS. After the apple tv resets, input all your information again and your rented movies should be visible when you cruise above the "movies" section. THANK YOU!!
    Apple needs to solve this issue because honestly it took me 3 hours and a half to watch a movie that only lasted 2 BECAUSE I wast trying to solve the issue, reseting and all. blahh.

  • Vodafone tell me that is be waiting for unlock by IMEI by Apple, how many days are necesary for it?

    I called vodafone to unlock my iphone 4 by IMEI, they told me that now they are waiting the password from Apple, how many days are necesary for it? thanks

    You don't say where you are but process is
    Carrier approves your request to unlock ?
    they instruct Apple to update their servers to release the lock which is activated via iTunes
    Depends on how fast Vodafone work and how fast Apple update their servers
    For you to activate you need to insert a non Vodafone sim  and connect to iTunes
    When Apple have updated you will get a message
    "congratulations your iPhone is now unlocked "

  • Getting an error message when trying to reinstall iTunes - 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start the system services.

    After a recent iTunes update my iTunes failed to start. I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it again, but during installation an error message pops up saying: 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start the system services. The three option buttons which can be clicked are 'Abort', 'Retry' and 'Ignore'. I tried pressing ignore, which allowed iTunes to install. However, it seemed that not all parts off the programme installed, as it wouldn't allow me to open iTunes again. Whenever I press retry it just makes the same message pop up again. How can I show that I have 'sufficient privileges'?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.

  • HT204150 Sharing the same iTunes, Apple ID and iCloud accounts.

    Hi
    My wife and I share the same Itunes , Apple Id and Icloud accounts.
    How do we keep our contacts seperate, when we open up or back up on I cloud?
    As we both have I phones, I would like to keep all my work contacts seperate from hers. Also I don't wish to have her contacts loaded on my phone and vice verser.
    Will it mean the I will have to get a seperate apple ID and seperate Icloud account.
    Problem is that all our music and photos are on the one Library, because we didn't have two Iphones before, it didn't matter.
    We would like to keep the same Itunes library to access music and photos, but like to keep everything else seperate.
    Can you please help.
    Regards
    shervhall

    You can continue to share the same ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores (your iTunes account/library), but you need to have separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs to prevent merged data such as contacts.  (You aren't required to use the same ID for purchasing as you do for other services such as iCloud, iMesage, FaceTime, etc.)  The only issue is that photo stream is tied to the iCloud account so when you separate your accounts, you will no longer be sharing the same photo stream.  You can still send each other shared photo streams in order to share each other's photos, but they wouldn't be part of the same photo stream.
    To separate your iCloud accounts, on the device that will be changing accounts, go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on the device.  (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your device.)  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The device that will be keeping the existing account will not be effected by this.)  Next, set up a new iCloud account on this device using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to this new account.  At this point you will have two different iCloud accounts, one for each phone, with identical data on them.
    You will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the unwanted data (such as deleting the other wife's contacts from your account, and vice versa).  These changes will be reflected on each phone.  When finished you will have individual iCloud accounts with just your own data on them.
    To avoid getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls you also need to use separate IDs for iMessage and FaceTime.  To change the ID for iMessage on one of the devices, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign in with a separate ID (such as the new iCloud ID).  To change the ID for FaceTime on this device, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
