[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1369840, member: 38864"] Yes, it is pretty ridiculous. The problem here is really the iTunes Match service. More likely than not, this limitation was put in to keep people from setting up user accounts for each of their friends and re-downloading everyones' music for themselves. What you need to do is go to the preferences in iTunes and turn off automatic downloads for Music. That should solve that. She can still purchase and download music, but not re-download it. As for syncing the iPad… where is her current backup located? If it's in a Windows PC, the iTunes library should be imported. That should solve that.
