ITunes Match on Apple TV with two accounts

Hi all!
I have an Apple TV with two itunes accounts. One of them has the iTunes Match associated and I have sucessfully activated it in the Apple TV.
The problem is that every time we change the account I have to reconfigure iTunes Match again and it takes too long. Is this how it works or I am missing something? If it works this way it is not usefull for me at all .
Thanks!!

Hi,
Itunes match only works with one account and cannot be used with any other Apple ID.

This is an easy one: One Apple TV with two Account (MusicMatch and PhotoStream)

Hi,
How can I setup Apple TV with my iTunes Account (for music, movies, etc) and a different iCloud account for Photostream. This is easy in IOS and OS devices, but I could not figure this out on Apple TV. Apple TV configuration takes the iTunes account and uses it as the default for music match and Photostream, can this be different?
If not how can I merge the two with least hassle.
Thanks.

That isn't correct, when you go to setup photo stream, it asks you if you wish to use the account associated with the iTunes store, or use a different one.

Itunes can't find music with two accounts on one compu ter

Hello,
My wife has the Ipod but we both want access to the main/master music library. I have the library in a shared folder which both accounts and read/write to. Now, if I add the Music folder on her account and sync the Ipod, everything is good. If I login and open itunes (the preferences have been changed to the same music folder) I get the dreaded "!".... After reading some of the help and support topics, I don't know why I can't play music from my account even though Itunes knows where the music is.

Nevermind, I found the answer after a little digging.

HT204053 I want to play newly purchased music but cant, i get the message "You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. (mobileme family pack is the problem i think)

I purchase a new album on my phone but then cannot download it to my laptop - I get the message:
"You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. All I can think is that the problem stems from purchasing a mobileme family & some of the music being my daughters. (she is 9 & I need to be ble to listen to more than Katy Perry & Justin Bieber) Please help! :-(

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.

Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts. The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv. How can I use my iphone to do the same?

Our experience is a little different, we have different iTunes accounts for different family members, each family member has their own iTunes library on their own mac, each mac uses my Apple ID for homesharing and we are able to play purchased content from each library on the Apple TV.

HT4913 iTunes Match: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'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.

Hi
i ran into the same problem. surprisingly though, i am not using multiple apple id and just one mac.
i did change both the account (apple id) and the computer (from pc to a mac server), but home sharing is on and the apple tv (1) is synced with the new computer.
i can connect to the itunes store and browse through it (signed in at all times). i cannot purchase any content and cannot play transferred rentals from the computer (apple tv is not authorised...)
somehow, it seems the apple tv was stuck with a previous id.
i have just now re-authorised my computer on the account and will give the apple tv another try. i did notice a message during the re-authorisation process. the apple tv is being authorised. this gives me hope.
in any case, your setup seems to be a dream come through. i decided to phase out my high end multiroom linn kivor system (over 20k back 6y ago) to an itunes based system. apparently you managed to build something.
i tried an itunes based nas but gave up due to complex operation (and overheating on top) and went for a mac server. i will be using windows clients though.
most of my content is cd based. can you sync purchased content between pc's? or with a server?

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 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.

Two different versions of iTunes on a mac with two accounts?

Let's say two people share one computer and person A likes what he hears about iTunes 9 and wants to down it, but person B hates it and wants to keep iTunes 8 on the computer. I know it can't be done with one account but can it be done with two accounts if there is only one computer?

Good question. I'd say +back up your computer+ and give it a try. Put the copies of iTunes in Applications folders in each account, not in the common Applications folder at the main level of the directory.
Some of this may depend upon how you currently have it arranged with music files and libraries. I'm assuming you have it all sorted out as to accessing music files, unless you each have your own collection.
I don't know the full workings of itunes9 but as long as you don't share a common library (which is version-specific) or preferences files then I don't see why different versions won't work. Again, I'd make a backup in case anything funny happens, then try.

A forgotten iCloud password as above can go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with the same ID they use for iCloud to enter the password reset process.

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

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

ITunes match and Apple ID

What is this mean?
This Computer is already associated with an Apple ID
You can use iTUne Match on this computer with one Apple ID
every 90 days. You cannot associate with a different
Apple ID for ## days.

It probably means that there is another Apple ID which is used on that computer for things like automatic iTunes downloads or accessing previous purchases (what they call iTunes in the cloud).
Do you use more than one Apple ID on that computer?
