Change the appleid on a computer

We gave a MacBook (10.7) to granddaughter for college (smart girl, will use it well) which I set up initially which means it was born with my AppleID. She has her own ID, so I'd really like to switch it to hers, but i cant figure out where to do that. I found a KB article that suggested going thru iTunes but the instructions didn't match my iTunes version and I couldn't translate to my version.
So - how can I change the AppleID association on a computer from one ID to another?
Thanks!

Michael,
You can de-activate the machines you would not be using by following the procedure below:
1. Launch any product from Creative Cloud.
2. Go to Help>Deactivate.
3. Once the deactivate is clicked close the application and the subscription is no longer valid on that machine.
When you want to re-activate the team subscription launch the app and then go click on license this software.
On next page it will ask for you Adobe ID, please login with new team subscription ID and it will activate your team subscription on it.
You can also refer to the documentation below on this:

What do you mean by "change the Apple ID"? Are you trying to get a new ID from the one you currently have or just add a new ID to the computer?

I gave my iPad to my son. Is it possible to change the AppleID of my Apps to my son´s?

Do not create a new ID. He will have multiple IDs and the accompanying headaches.
Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

I am using a MacBook Pro previously owned by a colleague. How do I change the AppleID matched to my utilities (iPhoto, iMovie, ...)? I can't update them as I have my own AppleID and not my colleague's.

What system version are you running and what version of iApps do you currently have?
How do I change the AppleID matched to my utilities
What versions did you have? Did you purchase the iApps with your Apple ID as some previous time?
Go into the System/iCloud preference pane and sign out. Then sign back in with your Apple ID. Also sign in to the App Store with your Apple ID. If you have purchased those apps previously you'll be able to download them for free from the Purchases section.

Is it possible to change the name of a computer in itunes? And if so, how?

I got a new computer and am giving the old one to my sister... but on our home sharing network it shows as the name I had for it.
So basically if my device (computer) is called pizza... how do I get it named hotdog? I was able to change all other device names like iphone, ipods etc and just want to do the same for the actual computer itself...

I don't think you can change the name of your computer but you can change the name of your itunes library.
iTunes Preference, General Overtype the Name in the Library Name Box,
Then your iTunes library will show the new name

How do i change the name of my computer it was my friends now its mine how do i change there name to my name

Here is the information I had found, however I have never had to try. You will have the passowrd too, so the above will help for that.
For Mac OS X v10.5 or later
Enable the root user.
Log in as root.
Navigate to the /Users folder.
Select the Home folder with the short name you want to change, and rename it just like you would rename any folder. Keep in mind that the shortname must be all lowercase, with no spaces, and only contain letters.
Use the Users & Groups pane (Accounts pane in Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier) in System Preferences to create a new user with the Account name or Short Name that you used in the previous step.
Click OK when "A folder in the Users folder already has the name 'account name'. Would you like to use that folder as the Home folder for this user account?" appears. Note: This will correct the ownership of all files in the Home folder, and avoid permissions issues with the contents.
Choose Log Out from the Apple menu.
Log in as the newly created user. You should be able to access all of your original files (on the desktop, in Documents, and in the other folders of this Home).
After verifying that your data is as expected, you can delete the original user account via the Users & Groups pane (Accounts pane in Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier).
Disable the root user.
Hope this helps you

I changed my AppleId online now how do I change the AppleId in my iPhone?

I went online and changed the email address for my AppleID to update it to my new address. Now I am trying to figure out how to change the AppleID in my iPhone so that it uses this new ID with the new email address. I can't find a way to do that. I tried Settings/Store but it only displays my old AppleID and has no way to update it. Any suggestions on how to either reset the AppleID on my iPhone or change it so I can access apps etc. again?
Thanks,
Jeff

Thanks Paul. This was not very intuitive, but once I did it it worked. There are several things that will throw someone off when they do this because after you sign out it, when you go to sign back in it asks if you want to use the same id again and its not apparent that it will let you change the email address at this point. So, one is more inclined to think they should use the option to create a new one which is the incorrect way to go. But, once I went ahead with the selection to use the same id it allowed me to put in the new email address and everything worked fine from that point on. You answer was perfect, spot on! Thanks for solving the mystery.

If it is on the iCloud Activation lock, then theres nothing you can do. But if your talking about the App Store, then go to the App Store, go to the featured tab, and go down to your Apple ID. Select it and press sign out. Then go back to the bottom and sign in.

HT204053 How do change the AppleID on ICloud on an Imac?

How do I change the AppleID on ICloud on an Imac? If I choose System Preferences > ICloud > Account details I can only digit the Name and Descriuption but I do not know how to change the ID....

You mean you've changed the (non-Apple) email address which forms your ID and hence your login? You will need to sign out in System Preferences>iCloud and sign back in again, re-enabling the various data types you want to sync in the checklist there.

I have changed the motherboard of my computer, PSE 10 tells me it is installed on 2 computers

I have changed the motherboard of my computer, PSE 10 tells me it is installed on 2 computers, and asks me to deactivate on one of my computers. But this is just impossible, I only have ONE computer, and the old motherboard is dead.
I had an online chat with the technical support, the guy gave me another activation number, but now PS tells me that "activation number is not vvalid for my product". And the guy just left me there without helping.
All this is completely creazy, please help !
Olivier

Sorry you had a bad experience with support, but the fact remains that only Adobe customer support can resolve activation issues. Nothing to do but try again.

Hello cmcnanna,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPhone. If your iPhone isn't starting up or responding at all, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
If that does not resolve the issue, you will most likely need to have your iPhone evaluated and/or serviced. You may find the following page useful in that case:
Apple - Support - Service Answer Center
Sincerely,
- Brenden
