How to remove an iTunes account?

I was recently given an iMac 2011 for christmas, on first boot up i entered my iTunes details sucessfully and finnished setup. Before doing anything on the iMac I updated the software, however when it finnished the app store said that there was an app update, when I tried to download it said that it was only available for another itunes account "[email protected]". The problem i have is that i cannot download the update unless i sign in to that account, i dont know who this is and wish to remove it from my iMac but dont know how. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

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 can I remove an iTunes account from a computer I'm giving away?

    How do I remove my iTunes account from a computer that I am giving to a student in my school? I want the music I purchased to play, but I don't want the student to have access to my email address or my credit card that is tied to "my account". I went through the steps to deauthorize a computer but encountered two problems:  1) The only command offered was "deauthorize all". There was no list of the authorized computers where I could check a box to select the one to deauthorize.  2) If I want to leave the music with the computer, but remove the authorization.

    If you are giving the computer away you should not include music you've purchased: the purchase doesn't include the right to make copies to give to other people, which is what you would in effect be doing. The same applies to any purchased sofrtware which wasn't bundled with the computer when new.
    The proper procedure when selling or giving a computer is to erase it completely and restore it to its out-of-the-box condition from the original disks. You should also make sure to include the disks which came with the computer.

  • I bought my friend's used laptop. She doesn't know how to get her itunes account off the laptop, so I'm not able to do anything. How do I remove her account from the laptop?

    I bought my friends Toshiba laptop. Her itunes account is on there, hooked up to a credit card. She doesn't remember her ID. I think I had it emailed to her by typing in her email address and first and last name. Now that she probably HAS her Apple ID and Password, how do we remove her account from the laptop so I can use MY itunes?

    Delete the ENTIRE iTunes folder from her user directory.
    Frankly, you should be restoring the laptop as new, either using the restore CD provided by Toshiba or by reinstalling Windows with a Windows CD to remove ALL of her personal information.

  • 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 :'(

  • Removing my itunes account from a laptop

    I have an iBook 12in which, now that I have upgraded to a new Macbook, I wish to sell. However, how do I remove all of my itunes account details, etc. so that anyone who buys my old Mac won't have access to my account details (I know you still need to know the password, etc. but am not comfortable with this).
    I am happy to leave the software on there but want to make sure all personal stuff (photos, documents, etc) are securely removed so I can pass the Mac on to someone new!
    Also, when I do software updates I have to put in my password - how do I remove this?
    Cheers,
    Andy

    I don't think that was what they were asking for. The greyed out songs have nothign to do with missing media. I do have a match account and all my greyed music shows a cloud icon as if I can download them, yet they are greyed and not touchable. Yet I can select and choose delete and it asks if I want to delete the music in the cloud.

  • How to remove "two ghost accounts?"

    Hi. I am trying to activate my account. When I registered, I noticed that I had two accounts, that have never been active. How to remove them?

    It is reduculous to not be able to merge accounts.  I created an account with a user name and that was my original setting, then itunes would not accept the user name that I had all of my purchases with and made me use my e-mail address for the user name and create another account.  Now I have two accounts with many of the same purchases, but several that are not, and my iPad is on one account and my iPhone is on another.  I can now access either one on iTunes, but I cannot share the same purchases across the two of them.  This problem was created by Apple iTunes, and not me.  Now you say that I have to spend a lot of money to re-purchase many of the same  things again so that I can put both my iPad and iPhone on the same account.  It's no wonder that so many people are stuggling with whether to continue using iTunes or not.  You have way too much control over your users.

  • How to share an Itunes account with another family member

    How do 2 people share the same music library and Itunes account.

    Most of the 24 inch LCD have multiple video inputs, which means you can get connect two different video source (i.e. desktop, laptop) to the same display, and then switch between with only a few button presses.
