This computer is already associated with an Apple ID.

I keep getting this error


"This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 72 days."


I only have one Apple ID and no one else uses my MacBook Air. Any sollutions?

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

Did you ever get a fix?


I'm in the same boat. I only have one Apple ID. I signed up for iTunes match on my work computer. Came home, tried to add my home computer (which has more music), and boom this error.


Now I also can't download any music I purchased on my iPhone to my home computer.


Google searches help not at all. Man, this is incredibly frustrating.

Did anyone ever find a solution? I too have only one Apple ID. The same one for years that my wife and I use exclusively. But this past week I started getting the message "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID". As a result I can't download any music to my iMac that I've purchased on my iPhone or iPad.


Apple email support says that somebody had to have physically gained access to my iMac for this to happen. To say that freaks my wife and I out- we live alone- is an understatement. And it simply isn't true.


I am personally convinced that this is some sort of error somewhere in the Apple ID/iCloud/iTunes servers. But I need a way to elevate this somehow beyond the iTunes support gatekeepers who basically only say "no, it's your fault."
