Can you remotely remove Apple ID from a Device?

Hello People,
Happy holidays!! I got a small issue, i was wondering if you could support.
My brother broke his phone and i ended up buying him a used one from a friend, i remember my friend erasing the device completely. But as soon as i took it to my brother he is saying the Activation screen is appearing and it is asking him for the previous Apple ID & Password.
The problem is, my friend does not want to give his ID and Password (understandable), and my brother lives very far away. So i was wondering id there is a way for my friend to login to either iCloud.com or his iTunes and remotely remove the Apple ID from his device.
Thank you guys!!!

It is not necessary to have the device. Contact the person that you purchased the device from and have them follow the instructions for not having the device in this support document. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support  That will remove the device from their account and allow your brother to continue.

    How can I delete an Apple ID from one device and replace it with a different ID on that same device?

    Tthe brute force method: start with Settings > iCloud and turn off Find My (you will need the password), then change the iCloud ID, then go to the apps such as Messages, FaceTime, etc, and delete the Apple ID and enter the new one.

    You need to change the password and the sync key and update other computers that you want synced with that new password and sync key.

  • Why Can't I Remove iTunes Purchases from my Device?

    Now I know this didn't used to be an issue on my old iPhone 3GS, but am just not sure if it's to do with iTunes or the iOS.
    Basically, on my phone, I have two playlists that I sync - one is all my music videos, the other is songs that I want to listen to at this moment in time and this **** changes regularly. Now the problem I have is that I recently downloaded some music and video content from iTunes using my iPhone, and after clearing the 'purchased' playlist from my phone and syncing to the pc, I still have the songs I purchased. I initially added the new music videos to my video playlist but quickly realised I had duplicates so have had to delete any of the new music videos from the respective playlist. I have purchased both music and videos before and not had this problem, or am I missing something?
    Thanks
    Martin

    This happens to me too. I sometimes get duplicate purchased songs, the thing that I do is delete one of the duplicate songs. If you accidently delete the purchased content (videos, songs, etc.), your purchased content will be still saved in iCloud. If you buy purchased content on either the iPhone or on iTunes, it will sometimes produce duplicates. I am not sure why, but all you can do is delete one. This should work.
    *If you are having issues completely removing purchased content from iTunes, you would have to highlight the song that you want to delete and hit the delete key. When you hit the delete key for purchased content, a box should appear asking if you want to keep the song or delete to the recycle bin. If you want to delete it from the iTunes library completely (I believe from both your iPhone and iTunes library), click on the delete to the recycle bin. When you go into the recycle bin, you will see your purchased content in the recycle bin. On the other hand, if you just want to delete the purchased content from Just the iTunes library and not the song altogether, you would want to hit keep the file. Which ever option you choose, the purchased content will still remain in iCloud, so if you accidentally hit the wrong button the purchased content is still located in your iCloud.

  • Can you lock an apple id into a device

    i work for a company that has operatives who use ipads to complete work, but we need them to all be on the same account so we can monitor and perform remote communications.  The problem is that if the user puts in their own account we have no control over this.  Is there a away of locking the devices to one account?

    Hi Kevin.Craig,

    Sorry, not sure what you mean by remotely?
    You can remove apps from your phone without being connected to anything if you have the phone in hand. Were you speaking about something else?
    If not, then you just press on an app on the Home screen and hold it down until they all begin to wiggle. Apps that you can remove (non-Apple apps) have a little "x" in the top left-hand corner. Tap on that, and the app will be removed.

    As I was saying earlier that is not possible because the Apple TV has no accessible storage and streaming from your iMac is done via home sharing on your local network.
    iTunes purchases can be accessed via the cloud on Apple TV. If you have iTunes Match you can access your full music libary from the cloud.
    Using the iPad to watch your films would require syncing them and then connecting the iPad to a TV.

    can you have multiple Apple TV's in the same house and network? If so how do you know which one to pick from your Idevice?

    Yes, there are even defaults for naming them, such as LivingRoom, Bedroom, etc, or you can even enter your own name with the remote for each AppleTV.

  • Can you set up apple tv using 2 different itunes accounts from 2 different macs in same household?

    can you set up apple tv using 2 different itunes accounts from 2 different macs in same household?

    No, you can only connect to one Home Sharing account at a time. If you want to see the content of the other Mac's library you will have to turn off Home Sharing on the Apple TV and log back in with the other iTunes account.

  • Can you use the apple remote to control tv programs?

    Can you use the apple remote control like a tv remote to control tv programs & DVDs on the computer? Everything I've found about the Apple Remote talks about using it for products other than desktops. I watch some regular tv shows on my iMac & would like to be able to use a remote control.
    I have a built-in infrared receiver.
    Thanks!

    You should be able to control DVD playback now with the Apple Remote. You may be able to get a bit of functionality with web sites by using Remote Buddy by using it as a virtual mouse and keyboard:
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/21872/remote-buddy
    but you're not going to get anything close to the sort of functionality you'd get with a remote and a TV.
    Regards.
