ITunes match on 1 device, with 2 apple ID's

My wife and I each have our own apple ID. We share the music library on 1 MacBook. I'm assuming we both need to pay the iTunes match fee for its usage, which I don't mind doing. However, are there any problems doing this? Any downsides to expect?

Okay, last thing, then I'll stop bothering everyone . . . .
I logged out of iTunes and logged in as my wife, using her apple ID. Both of our apple ID's are authorized for this macbook, of course. Logged in as her, I noticed in the music library that the icloud logo had disappeared from next to it,and that none of the songs had any sort of cloud logos next to them (when i signed up for itunes match, i had sent half the songs to the cloud, resulting in a cloud logo next to those songs).
I then logged her out and logged myself back in to iTunes. I noticed the library still had no cloud logos....and thought maybe I had entered the realm of the 90-day iTunes match banishment. Anyway, I clicked on the iTunes match on the left side of the page, and it asked me if I wanted to begin iTunes match...sorta like it did the first time I began iTunes match a week ago. I responded that I did, and then had to enter my iTunes password. I'm thinking, "[bleep], I'm going to be charged again". But it didn't charge me. It began the same process of analyzing my library of songs, just as it did when originally signing up for iTunes match -- ONLY IT DID THIS PROCESS MUCH FASTER THAN THE ORIGINL TIME, taking only 10 seconds at he most. It then returned me to my music library, where everything was the way it was before--the cloud logos were back, just as before, next to the same songs as before.
Sounds like everything is good on my end, but that my wife can't participate with iTunes match on this same computer with her separate apple ID.

HT4914 Can you use iTunes Match on multiple devices with different apple id's ?

I have multiple phones with the same iTunes ID but they have different apple ID , will the iTunes Match work with all my devices ?

I've got the latest version of iTunes & it's supposed to be able to be enabled under top panel "store" then appear down left side panel to subscribe. Which makes me think that it musn't be able to be used if you're running XP as it's not there....

There is no way to overcome this. You can only associate one Apple ID at a time iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID

HT4913 I have two ipad with different apple ids, is it possible to access to itunes match from both devices

How to associate an ipad to an apple id so bot ipads can access to the itunes match subscription?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
For both iPads to use the same iTunes Match subscription, they would both need to use the same ID for iTunes.

HT4913 how to remove this ? You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 85 days.

If a computer has been associated with a device (as well as iTunes Matct, it can become associated via automatic downloads or re-downloading past purchases) then you will either need to wait until the 90 days have completed : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
Or you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can remove the association : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Youll get that message when you change the iTunes account you are logged into, you can't keep changing it.

I only have 1 Apple ID. I turned off iTunes Match on my iMac, and now I cannot turn it back on. I get this error when I try to just turn iTunes Match back on, on the same computer, with the same Apple ID that I used orginially to subscribe to iTunes Match:
This computer is already associated with an Apple ID.
You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 5 days.
I checked for iTunes updates. None are available since I am using the latest.
I stopped/started iTunes. I rebooted the iMac.
NOTHING HELPS!!!!!!!!
I have a Mac Mini and I use the same Apple ID on iTunes there. I was able to turn iTunes Match off and back on with no trouble at all but my iMac refuses to allow me to turn on iTunes Match.
Now what do I do?

Unless you really only have one AppleID that you use with the iTunes Store there's really nothing you can do. In the case of having only one AppleID you should contact iTunes Store support, since that would be a server-side problem.

I'm subscribed to iTunes Match but when I turn it on I get this message:You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 85 days. What can I do?

I had this happen back in December/January. I sold my MBP that I used to subscribe to iTunes Match back in December. In January, I bought a used MB and tried to use iTunes Match on it. I was told I had to wait nearly two months to use it on the new computer. I waited and was finally able to use it in the new computer.\
Sadly, this has more to do with the content providers (Record lables / movie studios) than it has to do with Apple impsoing the restrictions.

I have 2 iphones in the family and want to use itunes match on both devices, but my husband has his own itunes acct, how can he use the main itunes library and get out music on his phone also

I have 2 iphones in the family and want to use itunes match on both devices, unfortunately my husband has his own itunes acct and when i change on his phone to my itunes acct it states that the email is already in use, any help on how to get the itunes match to go onto both devices, thanks

"Method Three
Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks

ITunes match isn't working with new Macbook Pro

Hello everyone,
I have had iTunes Match for years with no problems on any device mobile or otherwise. I just purchased a new Macbook Pro w/Retina. I unboxed, powered up, and updated all software. I set up the Macbook with my one and only apple ID and logged into iTunes with the same ID. All of my purchased music is available, however when I go to turn on iTunes match I get this error: "THIS COMPUTER IS ALREADY ASSOCIATED WITH AN APPLE ID. You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 90 days.". After this I have no other option but to close the window. I have tried logging in and out and restarting the computer but have had no success. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

One iTunes Match subscription, 3 devices

I subscribed to iTunes Match from my iPad. Now I want to turn on iTunes match from my mac mini, but it's telling me I owe another $24. That can't be right, can it? All of my music is on my Mini, so I now have no music available on the ipad or the iphone 5s. What's up with that? I want them all synched through Match. Thanks, ~Bond

You need to be signed into the iTunes Store on the device with the same Apple ID that was used to purchase iTunes Match. Go to Settings > iTunes and App Stores and tap the Apple ID. Tap sign out, then sign back in and you ought to be able to enable the service on the iOS device.
