Part 1: Why Do You Get "This Device Is Already Associated with an Apple ID" Issue and How to Remove Associated Devices?

Getting the error "This Device Is Already Associated with an Apple ID" can be quite irritating. All you want to do is enjoy Apple’s services and products. So, before we get into how to get rid of this error, we will look at the reasons behind the error.

Basically, when you sign in using your Apple ID on any device and use it to purchase Apple products or subscribe to Apple services, that particular device gets associated with your account. So, if your device is showing the "This Device Is Already Associated with an Apple ID" error, it means that: you have reached the limit of associated devices with your Apple ID.

So, if you still want to enjoy Apple services or products, you would want to remove associated devices with your Apple ID. Be it the iTunes for your Windows PC or the Apple Music App for your Mac, you can always view the list of devices that your Apple ID is associated with.

So, here’s how you can remove unwanted associated devices with your Apple ID and get rid of the "This Device Is Already Associated with an Apple ID" error.

Here you’ll be able to view all the devices registered with your Apple ID for subscribing to services and purchasing products. If there is not even a single device associated with your Apple ID, you won’t see the said section.

Step 4: Click on the "Remove" button on the right side of a listed device if you want your Apple ID to no longer be associated with it. After this, you can go ahead and sign out your Apple ID from the device you just removed.
