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).

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.

I want to update my IWorks which I have downloaded with another Apple ID in this same computer. What I have to do?
Update it from the original Apple ID or delete and redownload the applications when signed into another one; the second option may require repurchasing them.

I have 2 ipad 2s. On the newer one I could log in and update to IOS 5 withno problem. On the older one I get the message "Your Apple ID has been disabled." No other explanation. Why can I log in on one ipad and I'm disabled on the other?
Well, I spoke too soon. Yes, I'm using the same account on both iPads, but I just changed my password for the umpteenth time and now I get the disabled message on both iPads. Just yesterday I was able to upgrade one to IOS 5 but got the error message on the other. I'm getting more confused by the minute.

Hi. My apple id was my old hotmail address but now i changed it to gmail but the hotmail one keeps popping up, What do I do?
Go to appleid.apple.com and sign in with your current Apple ID
Change the Apple ID to the old one and save changes.
Sign in on the device with the same password for your account.
After logging in and signing out of Facetime, Messages, iCloud and itunes and app store, go back to Apple ID.com and change it back to your normal Apple ID.
Go to your email account and reverify your account by clicking on the Verify now link
Now re-login to those services with your normal Apple ID and password. -
Texting on iPhone 5. When texting to multiple people why does the contact list return to the "A"s after you select a contact and try to add the next one in order? This really slows you down when trying to contact 50 people with information. iPhone 4 worked just fine. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
None of my pictures that I uploaded into iPhoto are in my Finder under Pictures. Should I copy and paste my folders from iPhoto into here, in case something happens to my iPhoto program (in addition to backing them up onto an external hard drive like I already do)?
No, that's just wasting space. A back up needs to be on a different disk.
Your photos are within the iPhoto Library. -

I would like to transfer a playlist and associated music from one computer to another in a home sharing network without transfering the entire itunes library. How would I do that?
you can transfer playlists using home sharing but it won't copy the actual music files within to the other machine.
however, i believe TuneRanger can do that. -
Im switching email accounts on my itunes account am the computer isnt recognizing purchases made from my other account on the new one (apps). How can I sign in with my new account and get the purchases apps on both accounts?
This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:

As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
any way to get around that? -
I am getting the message that my email password and/or username is not correct. They are both correct! I am the only one who cannot send or receive emails...I am the only one using a mac. i use mac mail and it is my companies server. I took my computer and iPhone to the Apple store...4 hours later they said that couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. Any suggestions???? I am also not able to log into the C-Panel...
Same here! Happened yesterday to me on New iPad and iPhone 4S. On iPad I managed to correct it by removing the account and activating it again as an Exchange account...I have mail and calendar OK!
On the iPhone nothing seems to work!
Facts:
1. everything worked perfectly for years!
2. I have the 2-step authentication deactivated on my google account so it cannot be this one.
3. On desktop everything works just fine, on iPad everything is OK with Exchange account added (after Google removed support for Exchange account access I CAN ONLY HAVE ONE DEVICE with Google Exchange account, so doing the same on the iPhone does not work!)
4. Tried to remove and add the account again - no results.
5. Tried to remove and add as Google, as Exchange, as Other account - I get calendar but no mail!!!
6. Tried to reboot between remove/add accounts - no results.
7. Tried to ("reset settings") reset the device - no results.
8. Tried to add as POP account and I it worked - I get mail but I do not need POP as I am using zounds of mail with labels and need to be working on an IMAP account
9. To make things even more complicated...I have another account which works perfectly!!!!!
Anyone out there having a clue? -

HI JUST COPYED CALL OF DUTY FROM ONE OF MY MACS TO OTHER IT WILL NOT WORK ON THE OTHER ONE?
Are you saying that you bought the game from the App store and made another copy onto a dvd so you can play it on another computer too? If so, you can not do that, you have to buy it again for the other computer.
