Play music app cant download music device limit

If you change devices very often, you may end up hitting Apple's device limit. I subscribe to Apple Music, and couldn't be happier it's available on more than just Apple's own devices. The addition of an Android app to Apple Music solidified it as my streaming service of choice. However, I change devices quite a bit; it's part of the job, and this recently became a problem when trying to sign into Apple Music on a new device.

After entering my credentials, instead of viewing my music library, an alert informed me I had reached my 10 device limit. I didn't even know there was a limit until that very moment. As it turns out, any device you've signed into your iTunes account on counts towards the cap. One thing you can do is to remove the association of the Apple ID from iTunes for the other devices.

If you never used the Apple ID with other devices, it is possible the Apple ID is being used, the second article may help.

Or follow these steps: Open iTunes. Enter your password, then press the Return or Enter key on your keyboard, or click View Account. Scroll to the iTunes in the Cloud section, then click Manage Devices. If none of your devices are associated with your Apple ID, you won't see this section. Have a nice day.

Well, OK, time to deauthorize one of my lesser or no longer used devices. But after tapping Manage Devices and then selecting a device to remove, I ran into this message:. Guess with all of my gizmo-juggling, I'd already hit this longstanding, inexplicable deauthorization limit. I can understand Google restricting the number of devices I can authorize , but why does the company care how many devices I remove from my account? And it wasn't clear when my authorization "year" would restart.

I actually encountered this issue at the end of December, so I waited for January 1, hoping it was tied to the calendar. So now what?

It's not like Google has tech support, at least in the traditional sense. If you have a problem with, say, Gmail, you have little recourse but to peruse online help pages and user forums. Was I really going to have to wait some unknown length of time just so I could start using the service again?
