How to cancel an itunes account

I have an itunes account which my son also uses for his iphone, I have now purchased an ipad Air and it has caused all sorts of problems with his contacts coming onto my devices and vica versa. We need two seperate accounts, how can I remove my son from my existing account?

Ah ha! After playing around with the Account Profile page for about an hour, I finally tried simply erasing the credit card account number field on that form, selected the "Where will you primarily use the product you are purchasing?" field and turned off the "Stay in touch!" checkbox, then clicked "Continue" and voila! Now I hope that apple really has deleted my cc account info....oh well, guess I just need to keep checking my cc statements real closely every month for the rest of my life...
Well, this certainly has been an eye-opening experience. I would have expected this kind of stuff from "the evil empire" (won't mention any names but it starts with "M" and ends with "oft") but not from an organically grown, eco-friendly company like apple who owes its origins to the hippie generation. Oh well, another one of life's great disappointments :'(

    Click "Account" under Quick Links at the top right of the iTunes store. Next to payment information click "Edit" and then select "None" under payment method.
    On an iOS device go to Settings>Store>Apple ID>View Apple ID>Payment Information>None.
    If "None" is not an option, you may want to contact iTunes support:

    how do i cancel a itunes account

    It's amazing but you cannot cancel an Apple ID. You can call support, but they cannot cancel an account!  Dissassociate it from iTunes. Any purchaces on the account will be lost. Delete all personal information and any alternate email address. Next save..  now for the last step, change the primary email address to @noemail.com or something. This will change the Apple ID. Once you logout, the account will essentially be gone. To gain access, use the fake email and your password. Since the email won't verify, you will need to change it to a real email and verify if you ever want to regain access. 

  • My ipod has been stolen and I'd like to cancel my iTunes account

    Hi there!
    My iPod has been stolent and I'd like to cancel my account. On this crap website, they will send you to one page to another one and another one which will lead to a dead end.
    How can I cancel this account!? I didn't think that this question was that difficult!!!
    Thanks for your help!

    You can't cancel your ITunes account. You would no longer be able to access your music.
    If you don't want to use it anymore, simply remove your CC info.
    Why do you want to cancel it?

    Hello! scottocs
    Me to have the exact same problem, I can not solve the problem.
    To solve the problem:
    1. Download the twitter app from the App Store,
    2. Right click (control click) the app and click show package contents,
    3. Open contents,
    4. Copy the folder that says '_MASReceipt'
    5. Paste that folder in the same location in the app you downloaded off of the Internet, replacing the original one,
    6. You might need to restart the App Store or your computer for the change to take affect,
    Please tell me how to remove this iTunes account?

  • How do I cancel one itunes account so that I can use the email address from that account on my current account?

    I have had my itunes account connected to my work email address for the past few years.  I am now changing jobs and I am trying to change the email account connected to my itunes account.  When I entered my personal email account it says there was already an account associated with that email address but I've never used it for anything since I created it a long time ago.  Is there a way to cancel that account so that my personal email address is free to use on my current account that I currently have linked to my work email address?

    Maybe he's referring to renaming another iTunes Store account after making the email address null and available to be used. Otherwise, I agree with you that it is pointless.

  • As i do not wish to use it anymore, how do I delete/cancel an iTunes account?

    I currently have two active iTunes accounts, one of which I do not wish to use anymore, therefore only using my other account as my primary account.  How do I permanently delete the account?

    You can't delete an account, just log out and stop using it.
