How can I get rid of old accounts?

Got a new i-Mac and transferred (via fire wire) all my old stuff from my old iMac (the really old one with the little igloo under the screen). There were two accounts on my old iMac, now they show up on my new one. I'd like to consolidate and just have one. Anyone know how?

System Preferences > Accounts when logged is as an admin.
BTW, it's a little safer to use two accounts if you are at all error-prone. A standard (non-admin) account for daily use, and an admin account for when you need it.

How can I get rid of old books that I have deleted from my device? It still shows up as purchased books on "Icloud".

How can I get rid of old books that I have deleted from my device but still shows up as "purchased books" on "Icloud". I don't want to see some of these books at all. I can sort by one that are PDFs and ones currently on device, but it still gives option to show those old titles. Does anyone know how to erase your "Icloud" history, please?

Nooooooo! lol... If I want to download again I will, I don't want an electronic trail. Plus when I have Ibooks open, sometimes I will accidently hit the item and it will immediatly try to download it. The problem with that is that its "Time magazines Best Photos of 2012" etc and it locks up my IPAD cuz of sheer size of the book. So I would like it gone from the history. Isn't there a way to clear the history?

Hello aweirandyski.1975,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From what you're describing appears to be Activation Lock, a security measure provided by Apple that makes it harder for people to use a lost or stolen device. You will need to enter the password for the Apple ID the device is prompting you for.

I have an iMac and a Vista PC. I noticed that there are 4 machines authorized to my iTunes account. This is probably due to various PC upgrades and reinstallations etc. How do I get rid of these old authorized machines from my account?

Try to remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry (Show All History or History sidebar) or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.

How to best get rid of old ipod?

I have a 3rd generation ipod. It doesn't work and all I want to do is just get rid of it. I already have a new ipod so I don't want/need to trade it in. I would like to know the best way to recycle/throw away my old ipod.

If you go to eBay and sell it, you should get some cash for it, even if its not a lot. Alternatively, you could sell it to an online store like www.ipodmods.com . They buy broken/non functional iPods from all over the world and then pay you for them! They then use the parts from your iPod to refurbish and repair other iPods.

HT1920 I was recently asked for account info on an account that used an email address that had been hacked. how can I get rid of this account record or the account itself.

I was recently asked for a password for an email on the App store. The email was very old and was one that was hacked so I removed it from my email list. Now I have no record of the account, its password or security questions, and obviously I can't receive email on the account. How can I eliminate this account. I may have already divulged ninfo to this address that could get into the hands of a hacker.

Email size limits are imposed by mail providers, not the operating system. They usually vary in the 20-25 MB range.
The limit is for an individual email plus any attachments it may have. The only way to release that email message is to reduce the size of the attachment if you can do so. The limitation itself is from your email provider so there isn't anything you can do to change the limit.

How to I get rid of old email addresses connected to my Apple ID?

Apple is always serving up old email addresses and asking for passwords. How do I delete these old email references on my apple account?

Apple is always serving up old email addresses because you have downloaded apps with more than one Apple ID. All apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the Apple ID that was used to download the apps. It is not possible to merge or transfer apps downloaded with one Apple ID to another.

How do I get rid of mystery account?

I'm running Leopard on a MacBook. We bought this computer new but someone else in my company who didn't know Macs was the first to use this computer for some testing and they setup the initial admin account with their account information. Their account name was johndoe.
I didn't have their password, so when I went to setup the computer for it's intended purpose I used the startup cd to reset their password. I’m not sure what I did from there it could have been one of the following:
I changed the name of the admin account from johndoe to admin then created a new user account called jdoe
I created a new account called admin then changed their account name to jdoe
I created a new account called admin then deleted their account and created a new one called jdoe
At any rate, everything seemed to be fine until I started installing software using ARD. I installed some application preferences on this computer and another computer of the same model using a package I had created with PackageMaker. (The other computer was setup by me and had all the account names correct from the start.) The application prefs were installed in the admin account in the Users/admin/Library/Preferences folder. The application on the problem computer didn't seem to be pulling those preferences so I checked the permissions and saw where the owner of the file was listed as johndoe. I went in to change the permissions in the Get Info dialog box and I noticed the new feature where you can add users. I checked this pull down list and the user account name listed there is jdoe. So I'm confused on why the files are being installed with the johndoe account listed as the owner. As far as I can tell this account no longer exists so why is it being listed as the owner of the files I'm now copying to this computer? I can go in and change the owner of the files, but it's doing this on every file I copy to this computer and it has become quite time consuming to change them all. The other computer that I setup with the correct accounts works fine. It shows the owner of the files to be the admin account since that is the account they are being installed under. I know that originally the johndoe account was considered the administrator account for the computer, but that account was either deleted or the renamed so why does it still show up when I'm installing? I've run Disk Utility to try to clear up any permissions issues but that hasn't helped either. I'm pretty far along in my installation process and don't want to wipe the drive and start all over so I'm hoping there's an easy fix for this that won't involve reinstalling everything at this point. Thanks for any help!

It's not a used Mac - brand new out of the box. I just let our web developer use it to view our company website in Safari while he was updating our site to ensure it would work on a Mac. He setup the account before I could and now I'm just trying to get the computer setup for the purpose for which it was intended. As a side note, I just tried installing the same files under another account I setup on the computer and it still shows the johndoe account as being the owner of the file even though it was installed under this new account.

How do I get rid of other accounts linked to my iCloud?

I just purchased a brand new iPhone 5S and I am currently working to restore the settings and info that was backed up in my iCloud from my iPhone 5. When I logged into my primary account (I've had maybe one or two other Apple accounts due to forgetting a password), it's asking for a password to several other accounts, none of which are familiar to me or belong to me. I'm confused about why it is doing this and I am concerned that maybe my previous iPhone was hacked or whatever it might be. Overall, I just wanted to have my one main account that I purchase all of my music and apps through linked to my iCloud and I don't want these random accounts to keep popping up, asking for a password. Can anyone help?

If this is happening while restoring the iCloud backup of your old phone it's because there must have been apps or other purchased media on it that were purchased using these other IDs. During the restore process, iCloud will download purchased media back to the phone from the iTunes & App store but you must authenticate the IDs used to purchase this media by providing the password before it will do so. If you don't know it, see if you have to option to cancel the prompt and continue restoring the backup. That will allow the restore to proceed without restoring the media purchased with these IDs.

How do I get rid of "old" sync 'instances' from my Sync-ed group of FireFox devices?

I have been using Sync to share History, Bookmarks and Tabs for ~a yr on three devices [my main computer (an XP desktop), a rarely used laptop (Windows 7), and an Android tablet]. A couple of months ago I replaced my HARD DRIVE, requiring the creation of a new sync profile. Other issues with firefox caused me to recreate new profiles.
Now when I use sync on my tablet to access currently open tabs, I see 6 different sets of "currently open tabs". one from the tablet, one old one from the laptop and four sets of tabs from my desktop computer. Each of them is a different snapshot in time of some open tabs; only one of them is current. How can I clean this up?
Perhaps the easiest way to to just redo the Sync registration for my main and then all of my additional devices. IS there another way?
Also, is this possibly related to my main computer not "finding" Bookmarks that I have Tagged? This is most annoying; as I had begun to use Tags as a means of avoiding creating a Library employing massive hierarchy of Foldered bookmarks. This worked great for a long time; but now many tagged bookmarks are just never displayed.
Thanks in advance!
