Q: Apple Music Issue?

y daughter signed up for Apple Music for family.

 

I am able to get into the Apple Music with my iCloud account but i cannot save not music to any playlist.  it tells me to go to the setting and turn on ICloud Music Library.

 

Once I turn on the ICloud and choose Merge I get the following message "ICloud Music Library can't be turned on because this device is already associated with another Apple ID.  This device can be associated with a different Apple ID in 16 days"

 

To clarify I have an Apple ID and a iCloud ID.  I don't know why they classify my iCloud ID as an Apple ID.

 

I have purchased an Samsung Note and down loaded the Apple Music App and signed in with my iCloud ID and i don't have any problems.

 

Why should i have to wait 30 days before i can use my iCloud on my Iphone for the Apple Music?

 

I'm very disappointed

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9.2.1, 1

    I've had this issue before and looked into it and it seems as if you cannot have two apple ID's being used with iTunes. So I know I had to wait like 90 days before I could use a different apple ID. Not sure why but this link might be helpful.

    Hi airricka3,  thank you for your answer. 

     

    I understand, but i had to buy an android phone to use the Apple Music App, to include i have to wait 30 days for apple to change over to my ICloud account to use my Iphone. 


    I started out  with the iPhone 4 and have been loyal all the way up to the Iphone six plus.  I started with and Apple ID,  in which I had Mobile Me then Mobile me went away and iCloud came about so I made my Mobile Me email address my iCloud account.  There was nothing is the rules that state my iCloud ID has the be my apple ID.  As a matter of fact it was explained you can have a separate iCloud ID.  


    Now I'm caught between the Android and the Iphone now. 

     

    So is it fair to say the i have to have one Apple ID to control iTunes as well as iCloud.
