  • HT204053 "This Device already associated with an apple ID" message is making me crazy. Can you help?

    Hi,
    I have a new Iphone, a 4s, that I was given to me by my employer.  It replaces my old one, my personal phone, that I gave to my daughter.  Everything worked well until I turned  ITunes Match "OFF" because I was traveling overseas and didn't want to download songs using expensive data connections.  When I turned it back on, I saw:  "This device is already associated with an Apple ID."  Then it tells me that I have to wait 90 days to download my library.  I am now on Day 64 and counting...but I want to see if I have done something wrong that is making this happen, and rectify it.
    Any suggestions?
    Many thanks.

    For anyone else having a similar issue, I contacted Apple and they instantly resolved the problem. Great service, as always.

  • 'This device already associated with an Apple ID'

    Hope someone can help with this.
    One of my students needed to download a recorded homework assignment that she'd saved to iTunes - I let her log into my iPad to do this, not thinking it would be a problem, but now I can't access any of my Music! I get a 'This device is already associated with an Apple ID' message and it tell me I have to wait 90 days!
    I have no idea whether this is the cause, but I can't think what else it could be. If I have to wait 90 days, is there some way to cancel iTunes Match? I need my music and would rather shell out for Spotify if I'm not going to be able to access or download anything.

  • I have not been able to download previous purchases since the new update.  I keep getting a message that says this computer is associated with an APPLEID and that I can download previous purchases again in 82 days with a different ID??  I only have ONE ID

    I keep getting a message that says my computer is associated with an APPLE ID??  That I can download previous purchases again in 82 days with a different ID? I don't understand why it wont allow me to download previous purchases?? I never had this problem before the 10.5 update.  I have emailed their help panel numerious times and they never do anything that remedies the problem??  I only have one computer and one ID I just dont understand what the problem is. I use a 3G connection to download music and sometimes the songs are not completely downloaded too and when I cant redownload them its like a waste of money.. I am so discouraged!!! Has any of you had this problem or know what I can do to fix this problem?? Thanks!!!

    Hi Bander Bunny!
    I have a couple of articles that should be able to help you troubleshoot this issue a little further. You may want to try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes first. This has to be done in a specific manner, and this article can help you do that:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    Another option is that you may want to try syncing your iPod nano manually. Here's is an article that pertains to manually managing the content of your iPod nano:
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
    It's also possible that this issue resides with your iPod nano. Here is a website that will help you troubleshoot the iPod nano:

  • Error message saying this device cannot be used because Apple mobile device service is not started.  What does this mean and how do I start service....had these devices for over a year now??

    When I tried to sync my iphone 4 and ipad in iturnes, an error message popped up saying this device cannot be used because Apple Mobile Device service is not started!  What does that mean and how do I start service?  I've had these devices for over a year and update and sync regularly and have never seen this message before!

    I got that message yesterday. I'm new at this so don't know if this is the correct solution but it worked for me. I reset my iPod by holding the 2 buttons down until the apple appears AND I restarted my computer. After that everything worked.

  • Please help - this computer already associated with an apple id

    We have 5 family members all using the same mac, each with their own login and password.  Each person also has a seperate apple id/ itunes account - and we want to download all the music onto the hard drive.
    When I go to do that for one of my daughters - it worked.  Now I am trying to do the second one - and it says that
    this computer is already associated with an Apple ID
    You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days.  You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 83 days. 
    Any ideas...I am sure that this was developed for a good reason - but certainly not a family friendly policy where we are trying to upgrade and save everyone's stuff!
    Any help or guidance is welcomed....

    I don't have a good suggestion, but I can offer some educational material:
    This article discusses what assocating a device to your Apple ID means.  It also talks about the differences between associating and authorizing.  That difference is probably the key to your success.

  • HT204074 my new computer says it's already associated with another apple id

    This 90-day timer is very frustrating, especially considering the fact that, when I try to sync my iPhone5 to iTunes on my new laptop, I get the message that it is already associated with another apple id...how can that be?? Must I really (really?) wait 80-something more days before I have the opportunity to correct this? What's to say I will be able to, considering this current 'association error' happened without my knowing how/when/why, etc.? Grrrr...Apple.
    I seem to remember a prior post that mentioned Apple fixed that particular problem for them via phone? How do I get through to that helpful person? What channels do I follow when support depends on serial number or info unrelated to my question? Ugh - thanks in advance for the help - please word it as simply as you can because I feel like a real dunce.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You'll have to choose between cancelling and Transfering. If you transfer you won't be able to use music purchased under your account or change your settings for 90 days.

  • What to do when an apple device is associated with two Apple ids

  • HT5824 i let my girlfriend use my apple id when i got her a new iPhone and now everything that is associated with my apple id refers to her as the main user which means my iPhone and mac book think im her. How do i get my iCloud to recognize me again?

    When i bought my girlfriend an iPhone i let her use my apple id. I got some of the problems with letting her do that instead of creating her own worked out but one that i do not know how to fix is my mac book and my iPhone thinks i am her. When i ask siri who i am it responds with her name on my phone. When i try facetiming her on my iPhone it calls my mac book. I try to edit the account but the one option that i don't see is the option to change who the iCloud recognizes as "me." If i create a new apple id i will lose a lot of stuff that i have saved. Does anybody know a solution to this without losing everything i have?

    oh ok    and then i need to create another id for her? would we lose all our stuff?
    thank you so much!!!!
    Well, yeah.  You want to create separate accounts for each of you, using individual Apple IDs.  I know mothers and daughters like to share clothes, shoes, handbags, etc. but don't share Apple IDs.

    Hi corbi111,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The resource below will explain the alert you are seeing.
    Manage your associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204074
    When you turn on iTunes Match, Family Sharing, or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, that device becomes associated with your Apple ID. You can associate your Apple ID with up to 10 devices, with a maximum of 5 computers at any time. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. You don't need to authorize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    After you associate a device with your Apple ID, you can't associate that device with another Apple ID for 90 days.See your associated devices
    You can see the devices associated with your Apple ID in iTunes on your Mac or PC:
    Click to open your account in iTunes, or use these steps:
    Open iTunes, choose Store > Sign In, then enter your Apple ID and password.
    Choose Store > View Account.
    Click Manage Devices in the iTunes in the Cloud section. If you haven't associated any devices with your Apple ID, you won't see the Manage Devices section.
    Next to each device, you can see when it associated with your Apple ID. You can also track how many days remain before you can associate your device with a different Apple ID.Remove an associated device 
    To remove a device or computer from your Apple ID:
    Click to open your account in iTunes, or use these steps:
    Open iTunes, choose Store > Sign In, then enter your Apple ID and password.
    Choose Store > View Account. 
    Click Manage Devices in the iTunes in the Cloud section. 
    Click Remove next to the device that you want to remove.
    When you remove your Apple ID from a device, the 90-day limit stays in place on that device. But you can associate your Apple ID to another device that doesn't have the 90-day limit. Depending on when you associated the device, you might need to wait to associate it to a new Apple ID.

  • Itunes says it is already associated with another account on ipad2 when i only have one account

    I am trying to get my ipad2 to download purchases previously made from itunes. If i go to settings store and slide the automatic downloads for music to on, it says that this device is associated with another account and cannot be changed for 90 days,  i only have one itunes account and these settings are saved underneath. Any ideas?

    I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

    (Note, mine says 28 days because I have been waiting for a fair bit for this to go away.)

    You can't keep changing the ID you use with iTunes, you are limited to once every 90 days.

    Hi there
    I'm getting a similar problem with my Macbook Pro. itunes match was working fine until two days ago when i created another 'user id' for the laptop and then an itunes account for that user under their profile. Now i cant turn on itunes match on my itunes under my user account. Contacted Apple today who said to use the Express Lane and email the problem and they might be able to make an 'exception' on the account. Otherwise I'll have to wait 88 days to access a lot of my music on the macbook pro. itunes match is still working on the iphone 4S and ipad2.
    Can anyone help? The only thought was too re-stream the laptop. Ive already tried deauthorising the other user but it made no difference.
    Thanks
    Jules
