What does that mean ???

Hi
No - that is the issue - both my husband and I use the same computer and want to be able to use our individual Apple IDs so can access our download content e.g. I-books that we have purchased through our other MAC devices such as I-Pad. In the past, we had four people using one computer with no problem regarding Apple ID. In the newer operating system, we are now restricted to one at a time - it means one of us is blocked out from accessing our content for a period of 90 days. Have you any suggestions on how we can both use our individual Apple IDs with the same lap-top? We have set up discrete accounts so we log on to the computer individually. Many thanks for any help.

I have a mac which my fiancee and I share. There are 2 separate accounts and 2 separate apple ids used to buy different music (i.e. we have 2 separate iphones and music collections).
I received the following error (see uploaded image) which states that, "you can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days".
Now, when I sync my iTunes and iPhone only some music that I have previously purchases is affected. For some reason they failed to sync with my iPhone and become unavailable in my iTunes ("file cannot be found"). When I deleted the record I saw that it became available for download in iTunes and then discovered this issue.
I have legally purchased the music and just want to be able to sync the files legitimately. It just seems very restrictive to say that you have to have 2 different machines for every account (i.e. you cannot have multiple users on a device with their own accounts which each have their own Apple IDs).

So i signed into my other itunes account to download some purchase i had made on that account, went to sign back into my new account and download purchases i had made on my iphone adn it tells me "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 90 days.". This is a shared family computer with multiple Apple IDs being used on it. Not cool apple. This needs to be figured out. Not acceptable for families that have more than one apple ID to have to wait 3 months to download old purchases. Get real. Any way i can 'override' this?

I just updated to itunes 10.3 & iOS 6.1 and I cannot download a song to my library! I get the error "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. You can download past purchases on the computer with just one apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 75 days." WHAT??
I've never had problems before - my husband and I have used the same library for years. My daughter also has her own Apple ID... are we going to have trouble with that, too? Actually we have 4 Apple IDs - somewhere around 8 Apple devices... this is a huge issue for us... HELP

Just to be clear - I just bought a new song and can't download it into the library because of this error message.

Can't play my library: "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 88 days." Got a fix?

Since my daughter burned a CD from my computer using our shared libraries I cannot play my library. This pops up: "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 88 days." I can get as far as viewing my library but listening is denied by this pop-up. Can anyone help, please? I just noticed my (this) computer is not showing as registered to my account. Hmmm....a clue perhaps?

Do you have a question?

HT204370 Way around this message? "You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days"

I bought a Christmas video on my Apple TV in my bedroom for my kids to watch. I tried to download it to our computer in the living room, but I got a terribly inconvenient message that says I have to wait 30 days before downloading it, because my husband downloaded something with his account-REALLY?!
Is there a way around this?
30 days from now, my kids won't be as interested in The Grinch who stole Christmas.
Is the only way around this to buy it twice? Or buy through Amazon Instant Play?
There has to be a way around this- it seems so silly- why would I buy another video through Itunes, if it's better to buy on a disc, so that I can watch it in multiple rooms?
Message reads exactly "You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 30 days."
Please tell me I am doing something wrong, and that it is possible for my kids to watch the video I purchsed in our bedroom and also in the living room if they prefer. Thanks!

You can try contacting itunes store support to have it reset. It's not gauranteed though because account association through computers and devices can only be switched every 90 days.

You can use multiple AppleIDs to purchase new music but you are limited as to how frequently you can change authorizations for re-downloading past purchases. It may well be a measure to deter piracy by stopping a group of people from going around to a friend's computer and downloading purchases on the other person's computer. It is easy to avoid by making sure you have backup copies on drives at home so you never need to redownload anything.
