Apple ID is not associated with my device

How to get your Apple ID to be associated with devices? I’m the only person that’s had this iPhone I bought new. I did have another Apple ID but sprint erased my back up so had to make a new one. Now I can’t download music for offline I keep getting message saying “device is already associated with another Apple ID” but that Apple ID is gone gone as in deleted.

Itunes device association Hey guys.. I recently logged into my friends icloud on my device and that account had apple music. I then signed out of the account and logged back into my own account. I tried downloading music on my own account and it said i had to wait 90 days to transfer my device. I disassociated my device from that account on itunes store but it still made me wait. Is there anyway I can skip the countdown and solve this in the future?

Apple ID and music I gave my daughter an old iPhone of mine. We take it to a cellular provider and got her her own phone number. She signed in with her own Apple ID. When wanting to download music recently to her phone she got this message “you must transfer this device to your Apple ID to play content saved offline. You will be unable to transfer this device again for 90 days.” 1. What does she do? 2. Is there something I need to do because it was my phone in the past?
