How can I delete an existing Apple ID on my MacBook Pro?
Hello
me and my Dad bought today an Mac Mini and a MacbookPro.
My father setup the Mac mini and has created an AppleID
and so he also did the same on my MacBook pro but the problems now is, if I wanted to update my Programms in the store i need to sign in with the AppleID of my father but i want to have a personal ID for myself So i created one
but if i try to login in the appstore it tell me to to verify my ID and ask me for a Credit Card, but i can swear the Apple Id of my father didnt needed an Credit Card.
I hope you can help me out
Thanks
bkeskin,
it depends upon which model MacBook Pro you have. If you have a Late 2011 model or newer, then you don’t need a DVD to reïnstall OS X. If you have a Mid 2010 model or older, then you will need its original grey Mac OS X Install DVD. If you have an Early 2011 model, then it depends upon whether that particular machine shipped originally with Lion or with Snow Leopard; those which originally came with Lion don’t need a DVD, but those which originally came with Snow Leopard do need the grey Mac OS X Install DVD.

You can delete an existing account from your device and create a new one and start using it. But I'm not sure what you mean by transfer. -

Only one song won't play after authorizing my computer. I authorized it over and over. I even deauthorized all computers, and still same results. How can I fix this ? I'm using a MacBook Pro with iTunes 11
Hi Deb,
Deauthorizing all is definitely the way to go. You will just need to authorize your computer again after, as well as your husband's.
Here's some additional information on deauthorizing all:

How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.
1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip. -

Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive -
My hard drive has 70.93 GB available, yet when i have more than one internet tab open, i have to force quit google chrome because 'there is no more available application memory'. How can I solve this? I have a 2009 macbook pro running on 10.6.8. I have tried updating to mavericks through the mac app store but after it downloading for a day i got an error message saying there was a problem with the download. The same thing happens if i try to update itunes or the mac app store. After research, i have also tried repairing disk permissions, but every time they do get repaired the 'repair' button still appears, i'm not sure if it's because it was unable to repair the initial problems or if it just keeps detecting new ones.
2 GBs is a minimum in which you can do many things, but not concurrently. Be very careful to not install third-party add-ons, limit the number of applications you choose to enter in Login Items, run as few applications concurrently as you demand.
I would consider adding more RAM to your computer. Your model supports 8 GBs, so I would install that.
