  • '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.

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

  • 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.

  • How can i download purchases when 'this computer is already associated with an apple iD'

    This has happened many times when using iTunes.
    My iTunes is authorised with this computer, and i can make purchases off the iMac I'm using and
    have the music be in my iTunes library.
    BUT, I also have an iPad, and I've downloaded a few songs off iTunes on my iPad, and I'm having trouble
    re-downloading them to my Mac.
    I went into my user>purchases>download all
    but it came up with a notice saying:
    '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 64 days.'
    Please help? Ive seen this notice before, and I think i just hit 'Okay' but I can't download my songs to my mac now.
    Thanks a lot xx
    -Olivia M

    To move the purchases to your computer, click here and follow the instructions. If desired, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff if they'll waive the waiting period.

  • HT2204 What is the best way to use iTunes Match with two Apple ID's that have purchased content?

    Hello. 
    In my early years of using iOS devices i have unwittingly made the mistake of creating a second Apple ID for my second device.  So now i have two Apple ID's with purchased content associated with them. 
    I have turned on iTunes Match with the account that has the bulk of my music linked to it.  But my second account has maybe 150-200 songs (and lots of apps) that i really like and don't want to loose.  Activating iTunes Match for the main account wiped these 150-200 songs off my iOS devices and replace them.  Is it possible to have content from both my apple id's on my devices at the same time?  Is it possible to combine the content from both of my accounts?

    I'll try to help a bit.
    ITunes match space is different to icloud space. With iTunes match you get storage for 25,000 non iTunes purchased tracks and other than a limit for individual file size, there is no memory limit.
    You can turn match on individuallyon each device (I have it turned off on my iPod but turned on on my iPad and iPhone). When you turn it on then you get access to all the tracks, and in my experience any playlists I create have transferred over very well. I understand that some people have had trouble with playlists though.
    I'm not quite clear with exactly what you mean regarding cleaning up your library, but be careful about using Match for this. There is no guarantee that matched songs will be exactly the same version as your own copy, due to some mismatches, so you could find some problems there. Personall, I am cleaning up my library before matching, but I am rather particular about keeping my library the way I want it. If you aren't as fussed then match could be the answer.
    Hope that helped.

    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.

    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

  • HT5622 Why when I try to download songs onto my iPhone from my iPad, it pops up and says "This device is already associated with an Apple ID, You can download past purchases on this device with just one Apple ID every 90 days.

    (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.

  • What does "this device is already associated with an Apple ID" mean?

    Trying to download a purchased movie to my device and got this message. 

    Did you use another Apple ID to download earlier?
    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.

  • I had 2 Apple IDs but now Apple implemented new conditions and i can't use one of them after 90 days using the prior one..! - "This Device Is Already Associated With an Apple ID"

    I have two Apple IDs because i travel frequently between Mexico and the US, and the apple stores offer different products, so i like to download music, movies and TV series from both sites.
    Apparently apple changed the conditions, becauise until a few days ago i could log our from one account and log in from my other one. Yesterday i was at Miami International Airport and wanted to download a few chapters from one of my TV series (Walking Dead) to watch on my way to Mexico City, but a pop up window came up saying "this device is already associated with an apple id". Curoiously, the ID to which i was connected to was precisely the one under which i had bought weeks ago the chapters i was wanting to download from the cloud. So it says i have to wait 90 days to change apple id.... weard! probably i accepted these terms when dowloading a new IOS version, so legally I'm dead in complaining, but why is it that if i am paying for all that i buy as a model citizen i am now blocked from jumping from one apple id to another one???? I can certainly buy another ipad and have one with one id and another one with the other, but is there any other way i can keep the two in just one device?? If i don't use i-could would anything change? This is really making me mad, and is the first time i have thought of moving our of mac products into samsung or others and buy my music and movies somewhere else where stupid restrictions like this one do not exist. Please help with a solution!

    OK, but in my ipad, the apple id i have in itues is already the one  iwant to have, but th one i used to sin in for i-coud is the other one. Any tip as to how to change the apple id for icloud and any idea how to know what apps i bought with the other apple id so as to delete them from my ipad to avoid being asked to enter another apple id every time they get updated? thanks!

  • Family Sharing and Device is already associated with an Apple ID

    I apparently have no idea how Family Sharing works.
    I have had an Apple ID for as long as they have existed. As my daughters grew up and got iPods and iPhones, they always use this ID for iTunes. Now with Family Share we thought they could each have their own Apple IDs and keep the music we already purchased, purchase music in the future and I would pay for it.
    So the very first time my daughter tries to purchase a song she does so with a gift card. She redeemed the card under her account and purchased $15 worth of music. However, it won't let her download the music she purchased. An alert pops up and says:
    "This Device is Already Associated with an Apple ID: If you download past purchases with your Apple ID, you cannot auto-download or download past-purchases with a different Apple ID for 90 days.  CANCEL or TRANSFER"
    All she is trying to do is download the songs she purchased with her gift card and she is getting this notice. The songs did not download when she purchased them, I don't know why.

    Not 100% on this but it sounds similar to what i had.  My wife and i shared an apple id for the same reason.  When we went to family sharing we had to create a new id for her.
    Your future is with family sharing for sure, it is great once established and perfect for you...so i would go ahead and click the transfer.  all your old purchases (which i assume is under your id) will be available under your heading and can be re-downloaded.
    the 90 day warning applies to the old apple id (i.e. yours) with that device only. it will now be associated with your daughters.

  • This Device Is Already Associated With an Apple ID

    I was having trouble logging into FaceTime and connecting to wifi. So I wiped my iPad mini and reset to factory settings.
    I was able to get my iPad mini working after wiping it and rebuilding it manually as a new device.
    Now, I have a new problem - my apple id.
    I can't use iTunes match.
    I can't download books from iBooks.
    The error I'm getting is as follows:
    "This Device Is Already Associated With an Apple ID."
    "You can download past purchases on this device with just one Apple ID every 90 days. This device can be used with another Apple ID in 34 days."
    What is this? 
    I paid for this content and the iTunes Match service and now I can't use it?  ***?
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    This looks like a known issue from years ago. It's a design flaw in IOS.
    When you setup a new device, it asks for your iclould login. This login is used and entered into the iTunes store by default. Then, if you change the iTunes logging to the correct one, it locks you out.
    This issue was caused by the following:
    1. iTunes came out years ago. It requires an email.
    2. MobileMe came out later and prevented everyone from usign the same email they used in iTunes. The default email was [email protected] of course. This design flaw, by definition, created two apple id's for everyone. Perhaps this is why Steve Jobs fired the mobileme product manager?
    3. MobileMe becomes iCloud.
    4. Since everyone has two appleid's, and apparently there is no way to merge them, everyone who sets up a new IOS device and enters their iCloud id will be setting their iTunes id up incorrectly by default. Users that then realize this and change iTunes to the correct apple id will be locked out for 90 days.
    It seems to me this design flaw will affect every new iOS user who sets up a new device, has an iCloud account and a iTunes account.
    What a cluster f.
    More on this design flaw below.

    This is really a problem. I've paid for extra iCloud storage. I've paid for iTunes Match. I've purchased thousands of dollars worth of music, books, and movies. For the next 90 days, I can't download any of this stuff to my iPad mini.
