Question

I had songs on my ipod nano that are now gone,

I just added an iphone to my account and this all seems curious to me. I actually have 2 ipods, 1 iphone and Itunes on both my laptops. Is this too many devices. My songs are still on my 2nd ipod as far as I know for now, lol. This all seemed to happen when I got my new iphone (which I have never had before) with my account. I have 2 laptops both which have Itunes on them but only one of them has my music library. Have I used my account too many places? I saw something in Itunes about only being able to have up to 5 devices, I have 3 but 2 laptops. My 2nd Ipod is a touch.

iPhone 5c, iOS 7.1.2

Hey crystalfromwaynesboro,

Thanks for the question. You can have up to 10 devices associated with your iTunes Store account at any one time. For more information, see the following resource:

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

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it, with a maximum of 5 computers at any time. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. 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. You can view which devices or computers are currently associated with your Apple ID, remove unused devices or computers, and view how many days remain before the devices or computers can be associated with a different Apple ID from the Account Information page in iTunes on your computer:

Thanks,

Matt M.
