Why am I getting a "You've reached your device limit" error?
Help, I bought a new iPad and got a warranty replacement of my iPhone 5 last night. I restored my iPhone and I got that error, but all of my apps and setting loaded, but then, when I tried to restore my new iPad using my ipad 2's restore, I get that error. I currently have active on my account
2 iPhone 5's (mine and my wife$
1 64 gb new iPad
1 16 gb iPad 2 (which is now going off my account and on eBay)
So I don't need the iPad 2 to be synced to my account anymore, but I don't want to delete it until I can start using my new iPad. How do I deactivate my ipad 2 do I to open a slot for my new ipad and restore it?
I tried this and still have the same issue. I went in a removed a handful of associated devices in Manage Devices in iTunes, restarted my phone and still get the same "You've reached your device limit. This Apple ID has already restored to the maximum number of devices in the last 90 days."
What's really frustrating is that this was caused by having multiple consecutive replacement iPhones from the Genius Bar. When I was given a replacement I restored from my iCloud backup but the phone was defective so I had to get another and do the same the very next day. Now I can't restore any of my third party app data to my current phone and have no path for resolution.
Does this mean I have to wait 90 days to use my apps?!? If thats the case I might as well have my old Nokia Razor.
I'm out of town and away from my primary computer for weeks. Not to mention I've put my faith in iCloud and assumed my content was safe and available when I needed it so I don't have a backup on my computer that I could restore from even when I do make it back home.

"You've reached your device limit"
I am managing 25 ipads for teachers to check out from the same account and I have backed the image up to the cloud. I can no longer restore from the cloud because I receive an error message that says "You've reached the maximum number of devices in the last 90 days." Help!
I too have this problem.
My iPhone was replaced as there was a problem with it. When I attempted to restore from iCloud onto the new phone, I got the message "You've Reached Your Device Limit". I only had 6 devices enabled. All of my contacts, messages, account settings etc. would restore but any third party apps would not, they would be on my home screen, but greyed out and 'Waiting'. Attempting to tap on the app to get the download going would result in the same error message about device limits popping up.
I spent almost 2 hours on the phone with Apple about this and a solution wasn't found. Lots of different things were tried, turning iTunes Match off, signing in and out of iCloud and iTunes storeaccounts then restoring the phone. Every time the same thing happened. If I deleted an app, then tried to install it fresh, it too would just say 'Waiting'.
I was able to download an app on my Mac and transfer it across however.
There was a work around though. The Apple person I spoke with contacted the iTunes store team who deleted any apps that were in my download queue. I then deleted all troublesome apps from my iPhone, went back into the app store app, updates, purchases, not on this phone and then reinstalled apps I wanted back.
Not ideal, but at least I have all my apps back. Apple themselves don't know why this is happening and they do have engineeers looking into it. I just hope now nothing happens to my phone and I don't need to restore from iCloud in the next 90 days.
Anyone with this problem I would recommend backing up to iTunes and then if you do have to restore your phone do this through iTunes as the problem is only with iCloud restores I believe. -
Help plz this massage comes up when i restore from iCloud. You have reached your device limit also says Ur apple id has been restored to the maximum number of the time last 90 days.
Have you shared your AppleID with anyone - family member or spouse? Any given AppleID can only be associated with 10 devices at a time (five of which can be computers). Once you reach that limit, the 90 day timeout applies before that AppleID can be associated with another, new, device.
You can see the explanation here - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
All you can do is wait the 90 days, sorry but I know of no way around that. If you think the message indicates an error though, then use the Express Lane web support pages to send a note to the AppleID support folks. -

Why does't apple allow you to read your iBooks library over the web from a browser or me account?
Why does't Apple allow you to read your iBooks library over the web from a browser or me account? I have time to read during the day via a browser, but not by Ipad or Iphone. I love the features that iBook offers, but I have had to settle for Google books which is slow to upgrade its features. I just want to be able to highlight, copy and past and make notes and also have the option to read a book in a browser like google books.
Wow.. I'm almost sorry that you spent so much time writing that post.
Unfortunately, it would have much more impact if it were true.
Just because you don't know how to do something... that doesn't mean it can't be done.
I do what you say can't be done every day.
You just need to put your iPod into manual update mode, and everything will be fine. You songs won't be greyed out, and you can play them with no trouble at all.
So, next time you need help with something, just ask for help and we'll help you. It'll certainly make yourself look less foolish this way.
Ranting and bashing Apple for no reason isn't going to win many people over. -

I was trying to email a link from a webpage I loaded in safari. The email sits in my outbox with a red exclamation point. WIll not send. Keeping getting an error message sending the message failed because you have exceeded your sending limit
"I keep getting a "you have exceeded your limit" on my email."
No explanation, makes no sense, it's happening with others.
I have to change (in my outgoing/unsent folder) my sending address from .mac to me.com. After reading the following helpful post:
To get outbox individual mails sent, Try going to outbox, opening each email to edit and change sending email to [email protected] by clicking arrow in from line. If [email protected] account does not show, go to settings > mail > icloud account > add "[email protected]" And, until this issue is resolved, set mail to send from [email protected]
(and you should be using smtp.mail.me.com) -

When I try to download the ebook I bough, the Adobe Digital Reader shows the following message: "can not reach server". Can someone please help me with this?
TO be precise, it says "licensee server communication problem"
Thank youThe thread running through your explanation has to do with connectivity to your server. (iCloud out of the blue asking for password, unable to message your boyfriend, unable to access e-mail). You said that you boyfriend restart his device and then the two of you were able to then imessage. My best advice for you would be to go to settings to reset to reset network settings. Once this has been done you then will need to enter the name and password of your wifi. ONce this is done you then can attempt to check to see that all passwords are enter correctly.
Good luck. -
Why did I get a "You Have Missed a Print" message with Condé Nast At Home?
You will miss a scheduled print if your computer is turned off or not connected to the Internet, or if you are logged out. When you see the “You have missed a print” message, you can click Print to print now, or Skip.
You can set your Condé Nast At Home application to automatically do the same thing every time you miss a print.

Click the wrench icon () to open the Settings dialog.
If you want missed items to print immediately when you log in, select Automatically. If you want to be asked before an item is printed, select When Prompted. If you always want to skip missed items, select Never.
Click Save in the Settings dialog to save your changes.

Getting rid of the "Register your device" reminder
I installed software for my Tungsten E2 on more than one Windows computer and registered it as well, yet Palm reminds me over and over to "Register your device" when I start my computer. Since I already did this from another computer I always choose Skip, but it keeps coming back. This program should have a choice "never remind me again" or "I've already registered". I found I can delete "palmOne Registration" from my Startup program group to end the nagging.

Post relates to: Tungsten E2Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums. There's an application that loads into the Startup queue which for some reason does not always get removed when you register the device (it happened to me, too). There might be another way to get rid of it, but here's one way:
Click the Start button on your desktop.
Click on Run
In the box, type msconfig
Click on the Startup tab
Scroll down the list of Startup apps/services, to one that says Palm Registration. Un-check that box.
Click OK
Click restart your computer now
Good luck!
