Great - thank you. > AUTOMATIC DELIVERY AND DOWNLOADING PREVIOUS PURCHASES BETA Interesting it is beta? > Association of Associated Devices is subject to the following terms: > > (i) You may auto-download iTunes Eligible Content or download > previously-purchased iTunes Eligible Content from an Account on up to 10 > Associated Devices, provided no more than 5 are iTunes-authorized computers. 10 devices and only 5 of them are computers (where you have to authorize for an account). I would have thought iPhones and iPod touches would be considered computers as well? Maybe not because you don't have access to file system? > (ii) An Associated Device can be associated with only one Account at any > given time. Ok. > (iii) You may switch an Associated Device to a different Account only once > every 90 days. This is interesting / strange. I change the iTunes store account on my Mac and iPhone often (sometimes many times in a day). Does this only relate to non iOS devices like iPod nanos and shuffles? > (iv) You may download previously-purchased free content onto an unlimited > number of devices while it is free on the iTunes Service, but on no more than > 5 iTunes-authorized computers. Unlimited devices but only 5 iTunes-authorized computers? Why this limitation for free content? > AUTOMATIC DELIVERY AND DOWNLOADING PREVIOUS PURCHASES BETA > > When you first acquire App Store Products, as defined below, (excluding > products acquired from the Mac App Store) or iBookstore Products, as defined > below, through the App and Book Services (collectively, “Eligible Content”), > you may elect to automatically receive (“auto-download”) copies of such > Eligible Content on additional compatible iOS Devices and > iTunes-authorizedcomputers with compatible software by associating such iOS > Devices and computers subject to the association rules below (each, an > “Associated Device”).

Again, push sounds like this is beta for iCloud? > (i) You may auto-download Eligible Content or download previously-purchased > Eligible Content from an Account on up to 10 Associated Devices, provided no > more than 5 are iTunes-authorized computers. So apps to 10 devices of which only 5 can be computers (Macs I guess). > (ii) An Associated Device can be associated with only one Account at any > given time. > > (iii) You may switch an Associated Device to a different Account only once > every 90 days. Hmm, not sure I understand this or that it is being enforced? > The above terms (i) to (iv) do not apply to App Store Products. Products? They mean electronics / accessories? Can someone simplify all this? How is it supposed to work for a household of 4 people who wish to share music and apps? Are we supposed to share apps like we share music?
