How do I remove an itunes account from itunes?

I have a computer that was once used by my son to sync his iphone, and to buy heaps of songs.
He has moved on, no longer uses this computer and syncs his iphone with his own computer now.
My wife now uses the said computer to sync her iphone/ipads (she has several for school), but is unable to remove all traces of our son's account, in fact his account info has even spread to one of the ipads! Like a virus!
How do I remove all trace of this old, no longer used account? And for that matter remove all the bad music that is taking up space on the HDD?

Hi Restore iphone back to Factory Settings the iphone than you have problems with use the same Apple id & password then you will get all the Apps & Data back. But before you do this go to itunes on iphone bottom of page Sign out of itunes then Sign back in with the correct Apple id if you still have problems do the Restore. Cheers brian

Try signing out of your iTunes account (scroll to bottom in the app), then sign in again.

Are you giving it away temporarily or permanently?
If temporarily, you could delete the email account or remove the account's saved password and uncheck the account's enable this account option.
If permanently, you should create a new user account for the new owner, then delete your user account. You may also have to reinstall the version of OSX that was originally licensed to the Mac and remove any applicable applications that are not transferable.

How can i remove my icloud account from my sons ipad?

can i remove my icloud account from my sons ipad? I just discovered he is getting all of my text messages on his ipad!

You can, but that isn't why he's getting your text messages. That's being caused by using the same Apple ID for iMessage. Have him go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. To avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls, have him do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
Note: you can still share the same ID for other services such as your iTunes store account even though you are using different IDs for iMessage and FaceTime.

How do I remove an iCloud account from an iPad?

My aunt set up my grandmother's iPad and used her iTunes/iCloud information. My grandmother wanted to be able to buy things from the store so I created an account for her with iTunes, but I can't figure out how to remove my aunt's Apple ID from the iPad.
I need to back up her information to the iCloud so she doesn't loose the information and apps before I can reset her iPad, but right now I can only back it up to my aunt's account which would put me right back where I am now.
Thanks for any assistance you can give.

Thank you so much for your fast response! We were worried that deleted my aunt's iCloud account from the iPad would delete it everywhere and she would loose her information.
I don't have an iPad so I was flying blind.

How can I remove the Guest account from the login screen?

I'm very new to the Mac world so pardon this noob question. But how can I control what user accounts are visible on the login screen on OS X? I've already went into the System Preference, User Accounts and set the Guest account to disabled. However this account is still on the logon screen when I reboot the Mac! How can I remove this account and/or make sure that my user account is the only one visible?

I'm not sure why this worked, but I found this in another post and it worked for me.
Even when the Guest Account / Access is disabled, the login option / and lock screen, still have a guest login.
This is because in Preferences/ Security & Privacy/General the bottom item is turned on.
Turn on: Disable restarting to Safari when screen is locked

How do I remove a profile account from one computer without deleting the data?

Hi! I want to delete mozilla from one computer and remove my profile account so that all of my data on this computer is deleted. But I use the same profile in mozilla on another computer and I don`t know if my profile will keep the data stored on this computer after deleting it in the other one. Can you please clarify this issue for me. Thanks!
Best,
Vanya

If you want to delete your personal data on a computer reliably then you would have to perform a secure wipe to clear the data on the hard drive.
Otherwise Windows will only mark data as deleted.
Best is to disconnect from Sync before deleting data on a computer to avoid other computers from getting affected.
You can use the Profile Manager to remove a profile.

How do I remove a Apple account from iTunes

My Mother-in-law had one of her grandchildren (not mine) plug in their iPod touch into her iMac, and download all kinds of games and music with their apple account. She got an iPad, and it automatically registered it with that other account, and she cannot install any apps or any updates because she does not have their password for their apple account. How do I flush iTunes of any and everything related to the grandkids so that she can use her own account, then wipe her iPad and connect it so that she can use it for something other than email and web surfing? My idea is to flush everything in the Music folder on her iMac, but will this kill everything. We are not concerned about retaining any information in that folder because she has never used her iMac for music storage, etc.

If there are items in the iTunes library that you wish to delete, use the Delete key.
If your mother-in-law wishes to have her own iTunes account, she can simply go to the iTunes "Store" menu item and select Create Account. (If Create Account does not appear, first choose Sign Out, and then try again.)

How do i remove an iCloud account from a previous owner on my macbook

PLEASE HELP. I bought a used Macbook Air for my wife and it has the previous owner's iCloud information. When I try to remove it, it requires his passwork which I obviously do not know. I've tried resetting his password in hopes that it would email it to the iCloud mail set on the device with no luck. Please help.

The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
It's unsafe, and may be unlawful, to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
1a. If you don't own another Mac
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received those media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
Some models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you may not be able to reinstall 10.6 even from the original discs, and Internet Recovery may not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
1b. If you do own another Mac
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
2. Partition and install OS X
If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
3. Other issues
If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an iCloud account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. The setup limit doesn't apply to Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as the iTunes and Mac App Stores, or iMessage. You can create as many of those accounts as you like.

How do I remove my iCloud account from an iPhone without deleting the account?

I need to know if there is any way to simply remove it from this iPhone, but not delete it.
The only button I can see on the iCloud screen at Settings -> iCloud is "delete account".
As I use this account for both iTunes and iCloud, pressing it is not a risk I want to take.
Thanks in advance.

Don't worry - Delete Account just means that it is deleting it from the phone. Trust me I've done it a bunch of times with many accounts and they are all perfectly fine
