Apple ID - can i deactivate it?
Every other day its asking for my password to download apps, update apps, give feedback on apps.
I travel a lot for work so I'm moving away from home and my wifi to different parts of the country which seems to be the only connection that I have that its doing this.
Please give users the option to switch this off or could someone tell me how to.
Entering in my credit card details or changing my password every day has gotten very old very quickly.
No. They must remove their Apple ID lock on the device, otherwise, it is useless.

Can i deactivate photostream without letting apple delete "all photostream-fotos from your ipad"
How can I deactivate photostream without letting apple delete "all photostream-fotos from your ipad" ??
It couldn't be, it would be an insolence, really, for a company to delete anything on my devices. I just want to stop streaming from now on because of lack of storage capabilities!! Did I miss something?
Thanks for an answer!Hi bdahm,
Welcome to the Support Communities! You are correct. Before you delete any app from your iPad, you need to save it's documents (data).

Launch iTunes 9.1 or later on your computer.
Select your iOS device from the Devices section of iTunes.
Click the Apps tab and scroll down to the bottom of the page.

How can I deactivate a computer I no longer own from iTunes?
How can I deactivate iTunes from a computer I no longer have?
Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us. -

The issue is not selling. We bought our daughter a new ipod touch and when i went to activate it i entered ny apple ID whichi is the ID on my sons iphone 5. can I deactivate my daughters account ( earase) her ipod without deleting info from the iphone? For example, contacts are connected. I make a change in one and it streams to the other. we created anew apple ID on the touch but it does not stream across the programs, i.e. facetime, icloud.
You can delete the existing iCloud account from the iPod touch by going to Settings>iCloud, scroll down and tap Delete Account, then provide the password when prompted and choose Delete from My iPod to delete your son's iCloud data from her iPod Touch. This only deletes the account and iCloud data from her iPod, not from iCloud. Your son's iPhone will not be effected by this. You can then sign back in with a separate ID to create a separate iCloud account for her iPod.
If you need to change the ID for iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID. Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime. This will keep them from getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls. -
i lost my laptop, now i can not access my ebook. how can i deactivate my old laptop without accessing it?
Sorry, but officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased items other than iPhone/iPod touch applications and iBooks. It's your responsibility to make backup copies (as iTunes itself advises) in case something goes wrong with your system, as unfortunately it apparently did in your case, and you lose all the information on your hard drive. The official statement of their policy can be found here, among other places.
For apps, look here for instructions on redownloading. For songs, movies, and videos, if you don't have a backup of your purchased items, either on external media or another computer and don't have them on an iOS device (iPhone, iPod touch, iPad), you're probably out of luck and will need to repurchase your content.
If you have your content on an iOS device, post back and someone here can help you get them restored. Otherwise you can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service (select the "Music Purchases" or "Video Purchases" category, as appropriate, then "Lost or Missing Items". You'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button) ") and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis. But don't count on it.

You can use Find My iPhone
Enter your Apple ID and password of the device you want to find. If the device is still powered up and the SIM card is still in it you might be able to find it. There are options to disable it as well. This is based on you having enabled it when you set up the device. -
How can I deactivate an iPhone 5 and then activate it on a current prepaid plan?
My son left his iPhone 5 when he moved saying he didn't want it. (teen temper tantrum) After 6 mos we might as well get some use out of it since we paid for it. How can I deactivate it (it has been restored to factory default) and then activate it on my current prepaid plan with my number?
I have no passwords/icloud/apple id information and won't likely get it from him. Is there another option? Thanksmissgen, as a mother of a 16 year old, I know all about temper tantrums. Let's not let that device go to waiste. You can hard reset that device by connecting it to a computer with iTunes downloaded to it. Once you connect the device, it will open iTunes. You will be provided with the option to "Use Recovery Mode." For your convenience, I've provided a very helpful link with the steps to reset that phone's password: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
Once the password has been reset, you can master that reset that device in Settings>General>Reset>"Erase All Content & Settings"
I trust that these steps are helpful to you. Keep us posted. We're standing by to further assist you if needed.

Mavericks, mouse: How can you deactivate scrolling like you could with Mountain Lion? I mean shut off, nothing else, and I need it for photoshop. PS: Apple people: Mavericks is not satisfying - why turn good things bad? Urs Keller, Switzerland
Open System Preferences then type scrolling in the search field top right corner of that window.
There may be more than one way to do this for you. -
Can you deactivate a stolen ipod?
Can you deactivate a stolen iPod with a serial number so it can no longer be used?
If you used 'Find my iPhone' then you can log into the app on an iOS device or access it from icloud.com on a computer. The application will let you wipe and lock an iPod Touch remotely.
Other than that there's no way Apple can 'deactivate' a device.

I did not deactivate a photoshop cs6 before there was a new "C" hard drive installed on my computer and a Win7 Pro fresh install too. How can I activate photoshop on the new hardware if I can't deactivate it on the old hardware that is no longer available? Any help will be appreciated.
If it's the same machine (same CPU) there should not be any need to activate. The actiovation is tied to your CPU.

Randomly Apple TV can't play Movies/Tv shows and music.
I've seen other people having problems with this issue but with all my searching, have not found an answer and thought I'd share my experience in case someone has a solution or suggestion.
Our cable modem service comes into an access pannel in the bedroom closet. It goes to the Linksys WRT54G router, then to a hub which sends out to all the rooms in our house. Our house is new and pre-wired for ethernet in each room. It comes in the office, goes into another hub and then to the Mac Mini I have and to a NAS Lacie storage drive where all my movies, music and photos are at. We stream everything and only synk photos on the Apple TV.
Over the last couple of days, the Apple TV can't play movies or music for some reason. The errors I get with Movies/TV is "The selected video cannot be played." The format was not recognized. With music the message is "Apple TV cannot play the current song." I know all the movies and music work because a day before I just played I AM LEGEND and it worked perfectly.
I've got a couple of theories and wanted to float them by everyone. I use a Harmony 880 remote and when I select Apple TV, it turns on the ATV and then sets the inputs on the other items. When I'm done and select watch TV, it turns ATV off. Should the ATV stay on all the time? Could this be causing the problem?
I've restarted the ATV, the Mac Mini, the hubs, the cable modem, the router. Nothing brings it back. But if it sits for a while, a couple hours or so, then it's back. However, it just stops playing for no reason and the next day it might not work again.
I'm running iTunes 7.6.2 and I checked the ATV and iTunes and both say they are up to date on their software.
I could really use some help here. The frustrating part is the kids want to watch one of their movies for the 700th time and it won't play many time.
Thanks everyone.
John
I use a Harmony 880 (I believe) remote.Oops----thinking of the light on the Airport!!! =-)
The status light is gray, so it is not setting off any "alarms", everything else is working, but when I go to watch a movie, rented or owned, it times out and resets itself. I ran a diagnostic and it said everything was working properly, I reset to factory settings and still had the same problem, and even reset the Airport to make sure it was not just the connection.
At a complete loss as to any other ideas to try to get her up and running again. No way am I going anywhere near an Apple Store with all the iPad hype that is out right now!!!!!!
