Why can I only download one song every 90 days?

Everytime I try to download a song from my purchased it says one song every 90 days!

Hello, bridgeted. 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
It sounds like your computer has been associated with another Apple ID in the past 90 days.  Here is some information regarding this process. 
When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it, with a maxium of 5 computers at any time. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. 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. You can view which devices or computers are currently associated with your Apple ID, remove unused devices or computers, and view how many days remain before the devices or computers can be associated with a different Apple ID from the Account Information page in iTunes on your computer:

  • Can you only download one song at a time or is there a way to select an artist or playlist?

    Foolish me, I loaded EVERYTHING I own onto my iTunes library - about 40 gig.  Problem is I have a 32 gig iPad (v1 - don't laugh, it still works fine).  Now I need to be selective in loading music only it.  I travel a lot on airplanes and want my iPad for music and movies.
    From what I can see, you are only offered the download icon next to individual songs, not on playlists or artist's names.
    One other thing for you experts, is it possible on the iPad to see playlists and artist configuration as a list, rather than icons?  I am much better at organizing via lists than icons.

    You should see a Download All icon at the bottom of your playlists, and also see a download icon to the right of the Artist name at the top.
    AFIK you cannot view Artists or Playlists as lists on an iPad.

    Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.

    Are you trying to download YouTube videos with a Firefox extension?
    YouTube (Google) seems to have made changes to their servers and that prevents the extensions from working for now.<br />
    You will have to wait until the extension developer has released an update to fix this or check for a possible beta version.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Are you sure they are available yet. You may have bought a season pass, which means they will download once they are available.

  • HT5772 Why can't i delete one song in particular?

    I have one song that was purchased from itunes by my boyfriend on my Ipad, and i absolutely hate the song and i want to delete it but for some reason I cant delete this song, and its the only one that will not give me the delete option, can someone help? Thanks

    It's a bit tricky. Go to the iTunes Store on your computer, select purchased, delete the song from the purchased list by clicking the x button. Now, on your iPad sign out of the iTunes Store and sign back in again. The song should be gone. I had the same problem with a music video.

  • Why can't I download a song in iTunes?

    I bought an album of songs on iTunes, downloaded it, but one song didn't successfully download. Unfortunately, itunes thinks it did download, so I can't download it again.

    Hello davhorns,
    You may need to delete the existing item in your iTunes library, and then redownload it from the iTunes store.

  • Why can't I download certain songs/apps onto my iPhone?

    I just got a new iPhone 4s, and I was super excited to put all my music on it so I could put more apps on my iPad. The trouble is, when I tried to download my songs onto my iPhone, a lot of them came up with an error saying "... could not be downloaded at this time." and then either Done or Retry - there was no explanation of why. So I pressed retry a couple of times, to no avail, and clicked done. Then it started happening on a whole host of other songs, and now I have a music library with a very pitiful selection of music on it.
    I tried ringing Apple Support, but the best they could do was tell me to sign out and back in again, which didn't work, then turn it off and on again - still didn't work. The guy also seemed to have the impression that I had just bought these songs - they're already on my account, I just want to download them!
    I have literally no idea what to do. Has anyone else had this problem, and managed to resolve it?!

    I am a Creative Cloud member and it seems like I can only download the trial for Illustrator CC. I was under the impression that I would be able to upgrade my current CS6 to the full CC versions of all the programs. Has anyone else had this problem? And how do I fix it?

  • Why can I only get one of the 2 songs I just puchased

    I just bought 2 songs and could only get 1 to my ipod, the other says when I try to get it on a playlist "I am not authorized to play it on this computer" But I just did the other one????? I went and bought it again but still no luck.
    HELP!!! need it for the morning workout!

    Thanks Niel, but I had just downloaded i tunes again on this computer but cause I had a virus and everything got wiped out.
    No one else touches my computer.
    i just found it weird, that I bought 2 songs about 30 seconds apart and only could get one into my music.

  • Why can't I download a song I uploaded in iTunes Match

    Of all my songs in iTunes that I placed in iCloud, there is one that I can't download. The program (iTunes or Music on my iPhone) keeps saying it is not available. It was a song that I made digital from the original cd. According to the iTunes store, the album is in the store. So I don't understand why it can't match it. Does anyone know how I can get it back?

    If it is not matched, unfortunately there is something missing or not tagged correctly for Itunes Match to recognize it. I have a few songs that it does that for, mainly some Beatles songs which is surprising since they are popular.
    I have found that after a few updates of Itunes Match library, it is getting better on matching.
    The song should be still on your computer, unless you deleted it.

  • Why can't I download the songs from my ipod to my compute

    I'm getting insanely frustrated right now. I got an ipod about a month ago and was ecstatic. I could finally get the 12 gb of music off my computer (all songs I've taken the time to copy from my own legal cds) and onto my ipod. So I got the new itunes and I copied copied all the files to my library and then from there onto my ipod.
    I then made sure they all played on the ipod and once they did I made sure that itunes was set to manually manage songs and then removed them from my library clearing my hard drive of them.
    Then my ipod starts having issues, it will just randomly restart for no apparent reason, so I take it in to the apple store and they just want to restore it which will wipe all my music. So I say uhm no, can I please back it up first and they say they don't support that.
    What the heck is going on here, why does it make any sense to have to leave the music on teh computer?!? It's a portable music device!
    I found there are programs that will copy the files back but they cost money which makes no sense. Basically Apple has hijacked my songs and won't give them back.
    I'd email them directly about the issue but I can't find any sign of an email link anywhere on teh webpage.
    Any help would be much appreciated and please forgive the rant but I'm really getting sick of my ipod restating constantly.

    You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes. The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod to discourage it's use as a device for mass file sharing. However there is a manual (free) method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    Not all the third party programs are commercial offerings and you can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    If you want to check out the YamiPod utility it is free but you are also free to make a donation to it's developer if you find it useful: YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    The transfer of purchased content to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7, look under under File>"Transfer Purchases from iPod". A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
