Q: Switching between two Apple IDs - 90 day wait?
I have been smoothly transitioning between two apple IDs on iTunes for the last year. I have just switched from PC to Mac and suddenly there's a message that states I have to wait 90 days before I can associate another Apple ID with this device. I don't really understand what this means, especially since I've already successfully logged in to both Apple ID accounts in iTunes on my new Mac. I don't want to wait 90 days every time I buy something from one account before it will let me buy something from the other (is this what this means?) I'd really appreciate an explanation from the learned Mac-user community. Thanks so much for your help!

Thank you, I did find that information myself, but it didn't really make things clearer to me. Once the 90 days is up will I be able to switch back and forth as I please? Or do I have to wait 90 days every time I want to switch IDs?
You can switch back & forth now as you please for new purchases (not for redownloading). 90 days is for redownloading.
iTunes prefs > Store.
Uncheck Automatic Downloads.
And why wasn't I aware of this wait time on my old PC device?
You never saw this because Automatic Downloads was not ticked.
