Can I disassociate my IPhone from a previous Mac without access to the previous computer?

My iPhone was once synced with my ex's mac that I no longer have access to. Now when I try to update through the app store, it is showing my ex's e-mail and
asking for his password.  This pops up when I try to to updat apps on my computer:
This pops up whe I try to update apps on my iphone:
[email protected] is my ex's e-mail.  Can I fix this without knowing his password or having access to his computer?

Delete those apps you can't access. Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to purchased them.

    how can i unlink an iphone from its previous users email so i can turn it on to my own email address, also i cant get in contact with the previous owner

    If you are referring to Activation Lock, the password for the Apple ID signed into the device is required, there is no way around this.  If you do not have the information and cannot contact the previous owner, the device is useless.

    Hi, I have just purchased a Macbook, but my iphone is currently synched to my old pc. How can I now synch it with my new mac without losing all the apps/music etc on my phone? Ta

    The easiest way is to copy the iTunes folder from your old PC to your MB (put it in the Music folder as a subfolder), along with the other valuable data on the old PC. Or restore it from a backup of your old PC. Then authorize iTunes on the MB to the same account you had on the PC. When you sync it will warn you that your content will be deleted, but it will be replaced with the same content from the MB. Before syncing you should also make sure there is at least one entry in iCal and Address book on the MB (assuming you sync to Outlook or equivalent on the PC) to assure that your contacts and calendar entries will move over correctly.
    Al alternative that is less effective is to connect the iPhone to the MB without syncing, and choose "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes File menu. This willl copy purchases music, videos and apps, but not ripped tracks from the iPhone to the MB.

  • Is there a way to transfer music from my ipod to a new computer using itunes WITHOUT access to the old computer??

    Is there a way to transfer music already downloaded on my ipod to my new laptop, without having access to the original computer with itunes?? It is on my boyfriend's computer and we broke up - not a good option to ask him to use his computer...now I'm worried I won't get all my music back!

    Hi,
    I don't know if you can help me any further, but maybe you can direct me somewhere that will??
    I took your advice from above and went out and downloaded CopyTrans, paid the $20, downloaded everything - it worked beautifully!! Everything backed up and iTunes had all my songs.
    Then I guess I'm a huge idiot or just got overzealous, so I plugged in my iPhone, because I had a few purchases on there and thought I could everything in one place on iTunes. Something happened really BAD and all my songs on iTunes deleted and were replaced with the few that I had on my phone, plugged my iPod back in and somehow I must have clicked on the wrong thing and the iPod synced with the iPhone songs! I feel sick to my stomach!! Is everything gone???
    I did a "backup" in CopyTrans, but I have no idea where it was saved on my computer - when I go back into CopyTrans it acts like I need to pay again and doesn't show the backup file anywhere.
    Do you have any ideas or know where I can go for help - or is it a lost cause?

  • How can I add new music to my iPhone from a new device without losing all the existing music?

    Hello! My personal laptob that I usually use to sync my iPhone to is broke at the moment so, I've been syncing to my work computer. I have some music, not downloaded from iTunes, on the new computer that I'd like to add to my iPhone but I can't see how without iTunes deleting all my existing playlists and music from my iPhone. I can click the menu arrow on a song and then select "Add to" from the pop-up menu, then choose from "Devices" - Nathan Swain's iPhone - and it lets me, but nothing ever get's added to my iPhone. I have also authorized this computer on my iTunes account. I'm stumped!

    By design, iPhone syncs or manually manages iTunes content with ONE computer at a time. Each time you switch computers, ALL iTunes content is first erased from your phone, to be replaced with the content from the new computer.
    No way around this fact, other than transferring your content to the computer you normally sync with.

  • Disassociate Company iPhone from iCloud when I don't have the phone anymore.

    Left company need to turn off the iCloud and delete backups so . I no longer have the phone and Have a NEW iPhone different Apple ID now.

    You just need to remove your account? Your question isn't to clear. But if you mean you just need to removed your information and such from that account you need to have your password and ID. So heres what you have to do... This is if you have iOS 7, I believe it is pretty similar with iOS 6.
    1. Go into settings..
    2. Go to iCloud
    3. Scroll all the way down and you'll see Find my iPhone, you're going to want to turn that off.
    4. After you turn that off you can delete your account
    Both times iOS 7 asks you for your password each time for the account. So make sure you have that! And on a side note, make sure that you turn off the "Find my iPhone" feature. It is very important that you do that if you are planning to sell it or your work needs the phone back. The reason is if the feature isn't turned off and you don't remember the password for your iCloud account, it is nearly impossible to reactivate the phone because your iCloud account is permanently linked to it. This makes it like I said, just about impossible for someone else to use the phone. It is one of Apples best security features and honestly it works fantastically.
    Next if you want to completely erase the iPhone all together so that you have no information on it you do the following
    1. Settings again.
    2. Go to General
    3. Scroll all the way to the bottom and select reset.
    4. You're going to want to select "Erase All Content and Settings"
    5. iOS 7 should inform you that doing this will erase all content on your iPhone. You're going to want to select yes, then I believe it will ask you once again for your iTunes account password. Put it in and it will start to reset and erase your iPhone.
    After that you should be in the clear, just make sure you post any other questions. I'm not the best Apple enthusiast here but I do know most of my stuff very well. Other people may know some things I might not. Hope I helped! Good Luck!

  • Transfer iPhone from PC to Mac without losing anything

    I know this question has been asked dozens of times, but I just want to get an answer that I know will work for me.
    When I got my first iPod I had to set it up on my family's computer as I didn't own a computer. Later on I got an iPhone, and while I had my Mac, I set it up with the family computer to keep my music.
    I've been wanting to move my iPhone to my Mac for awhile, but all the guides I've found don't give me all the info I need. I want to keep my iPhone exactly as it is, so that when I connect it with my Mac it acts as if nothing is wrong. I've seen how to consolidate the iTunes library, but I'm confused about App Data. I want to keep all my scores on my games, and I haven't seen a straight answer on whether they will stay.
    So is there a way to move my music, apps, photos, texts, data, app locations, play count, notes, contacts, etc. to a new computer? If so is there an online guide that outlines the best way to do this? Is it as easy as following this guide? [url]http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751[/url]
    My PC is running XP and my MacBook Pro is running OSX 10.6.8.
    Thanks in advance!

    Basically you need to move the Entire iTunes Library from the PC to the Mac...

  • Is it possible to to disconnect 2 wireless clients from my wireless network without access to the clients i.e. 2 iPads?

    Is it possible to disconnect 2 wireless clients from my network if I do not have access to the clients? ie 2 iPads.

    You would have to set up Timed Access for each device.
    This consists of specifying the amount of time each day that wireless devices will be allowed to connect to the network. You must provide a MAC or hardware address for each device, which is a long code that might look something like this, for example......A1-B2-C3-D4-E5-F6....and then specify the hours each day that this device is allowed to connect to the wireless network.
    You have to do this for each device, which is tedious. Devices that are not on the Access List cannot connect to the network at any time.

  • HT4946 Can I restore my iphone from a previous backup and how?  Thank you.

    Whilst downloading the latest version 6.0.1, my computer advised me I had insufficient space and could not complete the sync, however it erased my phone content and backed-up this, so when I went to restore my phone it had nothing to restore.  Can I use a previous back-up (I did one about 2 weeks earlier) so restore my contacts, calenders etc.

    Again, iTunes only keeps one normal backup, per device. Any other backups listed are backups created from restore points. These are time/date stamped & are not overwritten.

  • Can I restore my iPhone from a previous backup (Not latest)

    Hi,
    Yesterday I restored my phone to factory settings (Had backed up prior to this) to try and fix a problem with my screen after speaking to an Apple Rep.
    I did this, and didn't restore from back up as I had read on many forums it could of been an issue with something contained in the backup file.
    I restored, screen still not working, so I'd like to restore from my old backup.
    However, naughty iTunes backed up my restored phone yesterday, so I can't access the back up before that.
    Anyone help me?
