Q: i have an ipod 4th generation nano with one apple id. and i created another id for my iphone 4. I bought some songs on itunes and loaded them on my phone. But now i am not able to retrieve them to transfer to my library. I can see them, but they are highl

when i try to retrieve the songs into my library it says that my computer is connected with another apple id and that i have to wait 90 days. Do I have to wait to be able to retrieve my songs that I purchased? Do I have to wait all the time when I purchase songs from itunes? Its driving me crazy that I bought these songs and are not able to listen to them on my other apple products. Such as my ipod nano 4th generation, and my iphone 4. Your help is appreciated, thank you.

    Hey renie1515,

     

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

     

    When you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. This article describes how to manage these associations.

     

    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627

     

    Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days.

     

    Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90-day timer. You must wait 90 days from the day the device was first associated with your Apple ID before it can be associated with another Apple ID.

     

    Have a nice day,

    Mario
