Hi Pete,
Probably a long shot but, way back in the past, I used two different Apple IDs (long story - one was for things that were only available through the US iTunes store). Is there any way that you possibly have two Apple IDs and you have linked the new iPad and iPhone to a different ID to the MacBook (or possibly even created a new ID when you setup one of the new devices) – this could explain the message and why the devices are not showing up against your main ID (the MacBook one). Just a thought.

A few days into this new ownership I tried the Music app to play some song (I am an Apple Music Subscriber) Phil Collins Sussudio from the No Jacket Required album. On the iPad screen I got the following. This device is already associated with an Apple ID Cancel or Transfer. I have read lots of threads (Apple Discussions as well as others) on trying to resolve this issue but I have been unsuccessful. I am able to play this very same selected song from my Macbook (owned since new in 2013) Music app with no issues. I also did get myself a new (near new) iPhone 11 last week too - same problem there “This device is already associated with an Apple ID Cancel or Transfer”. Is it possible that both of these devices had a previous owner is the cause of this? They were provided to me in an erased state but I did a full erase of each before my set up though. I have also Managed the device count with my Apple ID and all old devices purged for there, still no change. I hope someone has had this and successfully resolved so keen to hear tips.
