How can I remove the 90 day wait until I can use a new Apple ID on iTunes?

I recently bought a like new MacBook Pro Retina that only had 16 battery cycles. It was sold to the person I bought it from in March 2013. he sent me the original receipt from the Apple store also.I contacted Apple and they helped me set up a new Apple Admin. account under my name and password. I purchased the extended Applecare under my name for this computer. All is ok there. It is running Mountain Lion 10.8.5 OS and it allowed me to do iPhoto update today.

I authorized the computer under iTunes and next to it said 83 days before I could use my Apple ID? I unauthorized the computers on my iTunes account for the three under them to clear them off. I reauthorized the MacBook Pro and it seems ok on the MacBook Pro. I went on my Windows laptop and the MacBook Pro was there with the 83 days wait again. So I took it off. Do I have to wait 83 days to use my Apple ID on this computer? I backed up my two iPads on iTunes today and that was fine as it showed them under devices. I am confused.

Any help?

Thanks.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

This does not pertain to Apple TV though. I wonder why Apple allows multiple accounts to play or stream on an Apple TV but not on a Mac or iOS device. It just doesn't make any sense...

What does not apply to AppleTV?
You do not download anything to AppleTV.

AppleTV does not store files.

True but streaming doesn't work on Mac or iOS devices but Apple TV does. 😝

I was told no reprieve.

I got my money back for recent purchases since I can't download them to my computer.

I looking at other music providers moving forward.

Please state your issue. What does a password prompt have to do with the topic of this thread, which is about the 90 day Associated Device waiting period?

AM I then to understand that the device, which has to wait 90 days, will, at the end of the period be associated with my Apple ID?
