How do I remove an extra Apple ID from my iPod?

Somehow, my child added a seperate Apple ID to my iPod Touch & now every time I try to update it asks for the password to the account & of course my child has forgotten it. How do i remove it so i can use mine?

- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
Thus, you need to delete the app(s) purchased with that account

How do i remove my old Apple Id from iPhone's iCloud setting which does not exist anymore

Purchased new iphone 5s, installed with itunes restoring backup from iphone 4 (which was too old a backup).

Hello Shy guy,
You can try this:
1. Go to the iTunes Store or App Store
2. Scroll down, there you will see Apple ID: "your email" (below Redeem and Send Gift)
3. Tap on that button
4. Tap on Sign Out
Now you should be able to use another Apple ID.

Sign out of iTunes and sign in with the new ID. On your computer, under on of the iTunes menus, on your iPad Settings > iTunes and App Stores and tap on the Apple ID.
Note that all apps downloaded under the previous ID are locked to that ID, and you will have to sign back onto it for any updates.

How do I remove a secondary apple id from my Mac? I am being prompted for a apple id password for a former user; I do not have the information. Prevents updates from App Store.

How do I remove a secondary Apple ID that is not in use from my MacBook pro? The ID does not belong to me and when I attempt to download updates from App Store with my Apple ID, I am prompted for the password of the secondary Apple ID.

Is this a second hand Mac? If so, you need to erase the Mac and install the version of OS X that shipped installed on the Mac from the factory. Then you set the Mac up as new with your Apple ID.
User Linc Davis explains how a new owner can prepare a 2nd hand Mac for their own use.

HT5622 how do I remove an unwanted apple id from my app store updates

My app store has added a new app to update, unfortunately the ID required is not mine.
I dont have this app installed.
Can anyone show me how to remove this update from my app store

App store menu > Store > Sign out to remove the apple ID.
However the program itself may trigger the update notification. You need to uninstall the program corresponding to the update.
That should stop it.

How do I remove an old apple ID from the APPS Store

I gave my 27 inch iMac to my dad and thought I had everything deleted off my IMAC before I gave it to him. I created an Apple ID for him; however, when we try to download updates from the APP Store it comes up with my old apple ID and asks me for the password to my old apple ID. We are able to log into ICoud and ITunes using his new apple ID but for some reason the old apple ID keeps coming up in the APP Store box when we try to download an update and the old apple ID is "grayed out" in the APP Store box and we cannot type over it. If we open up the app store and use the drop down menu, we are able to type in his new apple ID and purchase apps. I have tried signing out of the APP Store and ICloud and iTunes and the APP Store will not let go of my old original apple ID. An apple ID is nothing more than a "User ID" and I have never heard of a user ID that could not be deleted or changed!!! I am a former long time PC user and I like the Apple products, but the whole iCloud, Apple ID business seems very complicated to me. I am dreading carrying a 27 inch computer to the Apple store to fix something that should not be so complicated.

An apple ID is nothing more than a "User ID"
Actually, it is more than that. If you read the licensing agreements for any OS version or app obtained at the app store, it will become clear: the license for any app or OS obtained at the app store is not transferable. Hence it is tied to your Apple ID and will remain so - it cannot be removed.
You are supposed to remove anything obtained at the app store from the computer before giving/selling it. Your father will also not be able to reinstall the OS if need be.
Which OS version was on the Mac originally? You will need to use internet recovery (Command + Option + R) to erase your drive and then reinstall the original OS (if Lion or later). If it came with an install DVD, boot from that, erase the drive and reinstall. After that, your father can very easily download/update/reinstall any OS or app using his own Apple ID.

How do I remove an unknown apple id from my iPhone which runs ios 7?

I have an iPhone 4 which has been upgraded to ios 7 and someone logged in with an unknown apple id and now find my iPhone is also turned on. I do not have the password so how do I delete my id? Each time I try it'd ask me for the find my iPhone password which I dont have. I would just factory reset it but I asked a few people and they say that if I reset it, it wont reboot or turn on due to some ios 7 security feature which just sounds stupid but I'm not taking any chances. Pleasee help!
And do tell me what would happen if I just factory reset it in my current situation..

Unless you know the passcode to the Apple ID to which the phone is locked, there's not much you can do. If you are the original owner of the phone, you can try contacting Apple to see if they will assist you. They will need proof of original purchase.
