How do you remove an old device name from your iTunes account?

I have several old device names/backups on my iTunes that I want to remove. They were from old iPhones that we've turned into iPod's for my kids which we needed to create a new device name for them. So now when I restore a device, I have a list of about 10 different names to choose from.
How can I erase the old names/backups that we no longer use? I still have 3 on there that I want to keep though so I don't want to erase all of them.

iTunes Prefs > Devices.
Selec a backup and delete it there.

How can you delete an old apple id from your phone

Although I have a new Apple ID, the old one keeps prompting for a password. How can I delete the old one?

Hi clairebrisvegas,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
Your Apple ID is used for several services through your iPhone. To replace the previous Apple ID you will need to sign out of it in a few different spots and sign in with the current Apple ID (depending on what Apple ID you choose to use for each individual service). The services you may need to sign out of old Apple ID and into new one could include iCloud, Messages, FaceTime, and iTunes & App Stores. You can see what Apple ID is currently signed in and sign out of it in the following areas: Settings > iCloud, Settings > Messages, Settings > FaceTime, and Settings > iTunes & App Store. The following article is a good resource that explains this process.
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

How can I remove my credit card information from my iTunes account?

I've never used a credit card in my account before, I decided to to use a Visa gift card that was given to me this past Christmas, but once I used up all the funds I can't remove it from my account. What can I do? Feel free to email me about this issue. THANKS!

On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit the payment info on that account by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into the account, and on the account's details page there should be a payment link. If you are doing it on an iOS device (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch) then tap on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and select 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should also give you a payments link on the account's page.

How can I remove old calendar names from the iTunes sync list?

I gave my calendars new names as part of reducing the total number of calendars in my iCal, and now iTunes still lists the old calendar names as well as the new ones in its "selected calendars" list, even though these names are no longer present in my iCal nor on my iPod Touch. How can I remove the old calendar names?

The "genius" folks at the Apple Store lived up to their names. The key was to reset the iSync history in the iSync Preferences.

iTunes allows 5 devices to store and sync. How do you deactivate an old device to add a new device

Not true at all.
You can sync as many devices to one library as you like.

Welcome to the Apple community mohinderjeet.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
