music is asking me to transfer

While trying to play music on my iPad, a pop asks me to Transfer or cancel. IT says my device was used witha different Apple ID. The only thing that has changed was I subscribed to Apple Music or whatever it's called.

iPad 2, iOS 9

Apple Music keeps telling me to transfer to my Apple ID? I got my phone NEW a year ago and started using Apple Music this past spring. Ever since then I have gotten this pop up telling me to transfer my device to my Apple ID; however, my device is already under my Apple ID, and I’ve never used a different ID with it. When I hit transfer, nothing happens. Some of my music doesn’t play at all and all of my music cannot be downloaded. I’ve called Apple support and they don’t know how to help. Any advice?

How to deauthorize device from Apple Music when it will not be reassigned to a new Apple ID I subscribe to Apple Music and have five devices authorized. I recently bought a new iPhone resulting in need to deauthorize the old phone. I signed out of my Apple ID on the old phone but the Managing Devices section of Apple Music kept the "remove" button greyed out so I cannot remove authorization for the old phone. Additionally, I had installed Apple Music on a Windows machine but decided to return that machine and purchase a Macbook. I uninstalled everything on the windows machine and returned it for refund. But, Apple Music/managing devices has the "remove" button greyed out for this entry as well. I do NOT need to reassign the devices to a new Apple ID. I just need to deauthorize them but I have not found any guidance for doing this?

Hi MuckCitySigma,

We understand you're receiving a pop message regarding Apple Music with your device. Have you used a different Apple ID with your current device? Have you signed up for an Apple Music trial on your device with a different Apple ID? You may need to follow the steps in this article to disassociate your Apple ID with other devices.
