Error 1001

Good day,


my error is coming from data transfer. It says here that the data transfer won't be possible until after 90days but then it gives an option to transfer the data regardless and then the next thing... an error 1001 pops up. Please what's the way forward to downloading the songs on my library to my mac?

MacBook Air (2020 or later)

Hello Qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbmqwert,


The reason you are being told to wait 90 days is the new Apple ID association mentioned here: View and remove your devices that are associated with Apple ID purchases - Apple Support


This is because your brother didn't set up the computer to be transferred. He should have erased it using this article: What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Mac - Apple Support


So your options now are to erase the device and start over, or wait the 90 days. Thanks.

Hey, thanks for your reply


It’s the latter. I am an Apple Music subscriber and I recently started this Mac that was formerly owned by my brother but ever Since I signed in I haven’t been able to download my past purchases from the cloud.


Each time I try to download a song it offers me a “transfer” option with an explanation about 90days… but when I click transfer the error 1001 pops up


I am guessing that apple won’t let me download my songs yet because it has to take 90days before a new user can download their songs from the cloud into their app. But I don’t know if that’s the case and if the solution is just to be patient.


Thank you again for replying
