How to dissociate an iOS device from iTunes / iBooks purchase account

I want to pass my iPhone 4S to a neighbor's child after wiping my data from it. However, I have read in the tech press that this process does not dissociate one's iTunes / iBooks account from the device. I want to ensure that the device cannot be used to access my account purchases. How do I do that? I presume it has to be done before I wipe the device. I cannot find this info in the knowledge base documents (so far).

You can log out of an account by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store
Also turn 'off' (assuming that it's 'on') Settings > iCloud > Find My iPhone, and log out of your account from iCloud : Settings > iCloud > Delete Account
If the phone is associated to your account then you might be able to remove it via your computer's iTunes : iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID (or you can do it directly on the phone logging out of the account by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store, tapping on 'View Apple id' on the popup and logging in, and there might, if the phone is associated to your account, be a 'remove this device' button). If the phone has been associated to your account for less than 90 days then you won't be able to remove it.
Also remove the phone from your support profile if it's registered to it : https://supportprofile.apple.com/
And, if you are on a contract, you've contacted your phone carrier to cancel it ?

How do I remove a device from iTunes that does not show up under "Manage Devices" in account?

My husbands macbook is logged in with his iTunes account. For some reason my iPad (linked with my account) keeps showing up on his macbook under his account. I went on his account and to manage devices and my iPad is not one of the devices listed. So how do I permanentaly delete my iPad from showing up on his account?

It is showing up in his iTunes library as all iDevices would.
That has nothing to do with his iTunes account.
My iPad device is not an option as a device being used by his apple ID.
It's not being used by his AppleID.
Select the iPad in his iTunes library.
Click the Summary tab.
Uncheck Sync this iPsd over wifi.
Uncheck Open iTunes when this Pad is connected.
Right click > Eject the iPad.

How do I download the music from iTunes onto an old iPhone 3gs? I have reset the iPhone to factory settings and when I plug it in it wants to use the device name for my current iPhone 5 and I don't want to change anything on my old iPhone.

How do I download the music from iTunes onto an old iPhone 3gs without affecting my iPhone 5? I have reset the iPhone to factory settings and when I plug it in it wants to use the device name for my current iPhone 5 and I don't want to change anything on my current iPhone. iTunes won't let me change the device name for the 3gs. I just want to use the old iPhone like an touch.

Hi littlemansa,
If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like you are returning to an old iPhone that has been erased and you would like to set it up as a new device without restoring from a backup which would affect the name of your iPhone, as well as the contents therein. I have an article for you that can help you set up your iPhone as a new device, and that information can be found below:
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4137
Basically, it seems like you may be stuck on a screen that is asking if you would like to restore your device from the backup that is filed under the name of your new iPhone, or if you would like to set up the device as a new device. I would suggest that you set it up as a new device to achieve your desired results.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

How to remove games (which i doesn't exist in my iOS device) from game centre?

How to remove games (which i doesn't exist in my iOS device) from game centre? Thanks for help.

Take a look at this Apple support article; it may help:
One computer using multiple iTunes Store authorizations
When i want to buy items from itunes from a new device , it asks for my bank card number , and takes 1-2 dollars from it. Is this ok?
I'm not sure what you mean by this. What "items"? If you are referring to music, videos or movies, you get only one download per purchase, so if you buy the items again, whether from another device or the same one, yes, you will be charged again. Only apps allow redownloading without additional charge.

How can I get my RSS feeds to show up on my iOS devices from iCloud?

How can I get my RSS feeds to show up on my iOS devices from iCloud? The RSS feeds now show up just fine on my iMac.
On my iMac the appear in a category at the same level as In Box, Sent, etc. However the term RSS is in lighter grey like Mailboxes, On My Mac, Reminders. I use Snow Leopard 10.7.5. Any help will be appreciated as I'd like to read the feeds on my iPad 2 and iPhone 5 when I'm away from home.
Thank you.

This is helpful, but how do you get both devices to communicate to this single calendar via the iCloud?...
You did not mention that it must be through iCloud. But then, it can't really do so if you want to maintain separate Apple IDs.
So you just set up an additional calendar on your devices.
iPads, iPhone, Macs can show multiple calendars simultaneously. I have my work calendar and several personal calendars all showing simultaneously on my iPad, Mac Mini and Macbook Pro. In the case of my client, they didn't need multiple calendars. They just were going to use the one shared calendar. But I did setup the shared Google calendar and separate personal caldendars on their iPhones. (e.g.: Husband's iPhone = husband's personal Mac Cal + shared Google Calendar. Wife's iPhone = wife's personal Outlook for Windows Cal + shared Google Calendar.)

If you enabled Find my iPhone then you should use that. If not, I'm afraid you're out of luck for finding it.
To manage your devices, go to Your Account in iTunes.

Same itunes library, multiple ios devices from different people?

before anything, let me tell u that i followed the advice here...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
and i lost all 3rd party apps and app data on my dad's ipad.
we have two ipads at home. the one belonging to my dad was never synced to an itunes library ever! it was set up as new right from the ipad. now, to install ios 7 on it i followed the instructions above and 'made a new library' in my user accound on the mac. my dad doesn't have any user account on our home mac as he never uses the computer at home.
so then i 'backedup' everything from my dad's ipad to the library and then updated it. upon restoring it brought back everything inside the bundled ios apps but the 3rd party apps and its data was gone!!!
i disticntly remember 'syncing' it before restoring it but itunes 11.1 didn't 'transfer' the purchases on its own. i should had known. now my dad has lost considerible data like saved articles in various news apps, game data, etc...
i dont know what to do. i dont know of this is reversible but if i could atleast know the best way to manage ios devices from multiple users with ONE ITUNES LIBRARY, that would be great!

is this a bug or by design to not transfer purchases during sync?

How do you eject your iOS device from photos? Right clicking does not bring up the menu.

I noticed there is no intuitive way to eject the iOS device from Photos. No up arrow, and right clicking does not bring up an eject option. I do not want to enlarge the "other" space of my iOS device by not ejecting it properly.

I too have noticed this. Yesterday after downloading photos from my iPhone 5s to Mac Photos for the first time since iOS and OSX updates on the weekend. I do not have the option to sync this phone to iTunes when connected ticked so only Photos opens. After download I wanted to eject the phone but noted no eject arrow in Photos, I went to a new Finder window and was surprised to see the phone was not listed under Devices so I had to launch iTunes and allow a sync to complete before I could eject. This is plainly not right, the industry and Apple themselves tell us constantly that we must "Eject" before removal of a USB device. If not one usually gets a dialogue box to say the device was not properly ejected.

How can I remove old devices from my iTunes-Mediathek?

How can I remove old devices from my iTunes-Mediathek?

That's a very general question, so here are two documents from Apple for using automatic syncing and manually managing content.
Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
Manage content manually on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod - Apple Support
If your question is actually about removing content (you know how to add content), you are probably using the manual method to add content, and don't know how to manually remove content. For iTunes 12, on the horizontal bar that goes across the iTunes window (near the top), click the Music button near the left end. Near the middle of same bar, click Playlists. The sidebar appears along left side of window and Devices, your iPod is listed. Click the small triangle to the left of the iPod's name, to drop down its content list (indented below iPod). Click Music there. To the right, the list of songs on the iPod is shown. Select the song you want to remove and press Delete on the keyboard. You can do this with one or more songs selected.
You can also use the iPod's "management" screen. Select the iPod in iTunes, so that you see its Summary settings screen. In the sidebar, under On My Device, click Music. This is the same as on the "content list" described above.

HT203071 How does the clients (iOS devices) to configure/use the caching server to download apps from local caching server instead of App store?

Hi ... How does the clients (iOS devices) to configure/use the caching server to download apps from local caching server instead of App store?

Hi,
If you want to restore a reomoved app,you need to use
Add-AppxPackage to add a signed app package (.appx) to a user account.
But we cannot extract them from the ISO.
The behavior is by design.And this is a software protection regime.
Thanks for your understanding.

How can i remove a card from iTunes ?

How can i remove a card from iTunes ?

If you want to remove a credit/debit card from your account then on your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link. If you are doing it on your iOS device then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.
Changing payment info : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID)
If you don't get the 'none' option on the payment details screen : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information?
