Jun 20, 2016 6:22 AM in response to Sunasia1by Kilgore-Trout,I suspect what you are seeing is the fact that once you change the AppleId on an iOS device, you cannot revert to the previously used one for 90 days. Has nothing to do with the device that isn't working. And cannot be by-passed.

Jun 20, 2016 10:28 PM in response to Sunasia1by gail from maine,No, it isn't unbelievable, it is the waiting period that is enforced when you are associating a device with a new Apple ID, and when the previous Apple ID re-downloaded purchases, had automatic downloads turned on, was using iTunes Match, or was on Family Sharing.
Here is a support article that explains what an Associated device means:
You always have the option to sync those items to your device via iTunes. You just cannot re-download past purchases until the 90 day waiting period is up.

Jun 21, 2016 10:24 PM in response to Sunasia1by gail from maine,That is irrelevant. You can access those apps on a device that is not already associated with another Apple ID. However, in your case the device you are trying to re-download apps to downloaded media from iTunes on the same day that you then signed in (ergo the 90 day waiting period). If the previous person who had been signed into the device had not downloaded any media for the last 90 days, you would be able to sign in and download immediately.
If you want access to your apps, back up your device to iCloud or iTunes, then erase it and then set it up as a new device. You can then download your apps.
