My son and I both have iTunes accounts.
Recently he borrowed my iPad and downloaded a past purchase (movie) from his account.
Now I cannot download any of my past purchases and currently subscribed items from my account.
I get an error, "This device is already associated with an Apple ID. You can download past purchases on a different account every 90 days."
I understand the error completely however...
1/ Why would apple restrict it in this way. There has to be a better way to control things. I can associate all my apple tvs and such with multiple accounts, why not my portable devices...
2/ Is there any way to clear this or do I really have to wait 2 more months to get my ioPad back?
Social commentary - Apple needs to get with the program. In my house there are 4 users with 3 iTunes accounts. We have
4 Laptops
2 Apple tvs
3 ipads
4 iphones
Apple must understand we expect in this family to be able to share all our content on all devices at all times anywhere we are. I travel 100 days a year for business. If I can't get my content on the road I am going to go crazy or find somewhere else to get content.
Help!
