How to unregister Macbook from one apple-id and register to an other

I have an iphone and an ipad with my own apple-id. My son bought me a macbook but installed and registered it with his own apple-id, instead of with mine.
I want to unregister the macbook from my son's apple-id and registers it with my apple-id, so I can synchronize with icloud all my devices.
I did some investigation.
Till now evenhow I see two ways and I am not sure which one to choose.
1. On the Macbook I can go to supportprofile.apple.com. This is the My Support Profile of my son. I can remove the Macbook here. Now I can do the same on my ipad with my apple-id and add and register the Macbook as a new product.
2. On the Macbook I can go to Itunes>Store>Show account and remove the Macbook here. Now remove the authorization of my son in Itunes>Store>Remove authorization and then add the authorization of my apple-id.
The second way seems me a little more complete but I am not sure. I found the information here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627?viewlocale=nl_NL&locale=nl_NL and here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420?viewlocale=nl_NL
I am also not sure if I am complete with all the steps.
I hope anybody can inform and help me with this problem and maybe mention risks.
I have a dutch Macbook with Lion, so maybe the terms are not totaly equivalent to the English terms in the menu's.

You have to do both things: remove the MacBook Air from his Apple ID in http://supportprofile.apple.com and add it to your Apple ID, and deauthorize the Mac from the iTunes Store. This should be enough.
After authorizing your Mac with your Apple ID, open the Mac App Store, go to Purchases and accept all the listed apps, which should be iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand. If the Mac was purchased after October 1st, you can also accept Keynote, Pages and Numbers

    how to convert music from one apple account to another

    The apple account music you want to transfer >> go to itunes store and log into the apple account that you want music to be put on your ltunes library...sign in then after you sign in then look down on right hand side for the word "Purchased" and those are the accounts songs and you can download them for free.
    Note that this does not change the iTunes account of these songs. This simply adds them to the iTunes library you are using.
    Also note than once you do this, you will have to wait 90 days to redownload any iTunes purchases from any other iTunes account, including the original iTunes account.
    It is possible to transfer itunes music from one account to another!
    No it is not!

  • How to transfer music from one apple id to another?

    I received an iPad and set it up using a new apple id. Can I still access my music from my computer using my old apple id and put the music on my iPad?

    You can not transfer music (or anything else, for that matter) from one Apple ID to another.  However, the iTunes library doesn't care which ID was used for the purchase.  All music, apps, movies, etc. from multiple IDs can reside on the same library in the same iTunes.
    Before I continue, I need a bit more information.  You referred to your mom's ID and your dad's ID.  Do you also have your own ID?  Which music and apps, etc. is actually on the iPod?  Which music and apps, etc. is actually in the iTunes library?

  • How to transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another?

    Hey guys,
    I'm planning on creating a new Apple ID due to an email address change, but am worried that doing so will prevent me from reinstalling any purchases I have made with my old Apple ID.
    Does anyone know a way to transfer my purchases from one Apple ID to another permanently?
    Thanks in advance for any advice,
    Dan

    It is not possible to merge two iTunes accounts.
    Do yourself a favor, do not create a new iTunes account, simply update the account information for the one you already have.

  • How to move content from one Apple ID to another?

    When I first started with Apple, I shared an Apple ID with my dad because I only had an iPod. Now that I have an iPhone, iPad, and Mac, I need to have my own Apple ID. Is there a way to move everything currently on my phone (music, sms messages, contacts, photos) to my new Apple ID? I have looked in the threads and I know this question has been asked before, but none of the answers really made complete sense to me....so dumb it down a little? Thank you in advance!

    See http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2689 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5902 for information on sharing calendars and photos through iCloud.  Contacts are not included in the sharing from one ID to another.

    You can't merge two IDs.  If you're talking about music, video, etc. that you bought at the iTunes store, then you can't copy/download one file from one account to another.  Same thing with icloud.

  • How can I remove an email address from one apple account and associate it with another?

    I created an appleID account to use with the mac AppStore without realising i previously had an appleID account from my first iPod touch.
    Now with OSX 10.8 I want to use the email address from the old account with the new account for Messages.app without having to manage 2 logins.
    I've followed the steps found on the support page http://support.apple.com/kb/HE68 under the section "How to add an additional email address that is already associated with another Apple ID" but each time I attempt to add the removed email address from the new account to the old account the input box shows the error: Email address is already verified for another Apple ID.

  • How to transfer music from one apple account to another

    So, for some reason I couldn't get into my Apple account to sync my new ipod 5 and get my music on it, so I was going to transfer my music to a new account that I had just made. I was still logged in on my friends desktop, so I synced it and got almost all of my old music. So for the past 2 hours, I've been trying to get my music onto my laptop. I've tried copy and paste, moving it to a usb, clicking and dragging to the desktop, clicking and dragging to drop into the device, but I've got nothing. What do I do?!?! Please Help!!! D:

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • How to transfer purchases from one Apple account to another?

    I've used my family's apple id for years, I've probably put $1000 into apps and music, but I'm finally moving out. My mom doesn't want me accessing her email so she's making me get my own id. I don't want to lose all the apps and games and data I have saved, so is there any way to transfer all those purchases to my account?

    You will not be able to Transfer anything from your family's Apple ID to your New Apple ID.
    Anything Purchased / Downloaded using the family Apple ID remains Tied to that Apple ID.

  • How do you change from one apple Id to another person.

    I got a new iPad from my mom and she was sign in, so I sign her out, but none of my songs are coming up on iTunes. What happened when you do the erase all the setting, does it erase everything on my iPad.

    The pad works with a single user.  If you are now that user, reset the pad from scratch.  Settings, reset, erase all content and settings.  Then sync it to your computer using your I tunes account.  Her apps will be gone, and your stuff will be available.

  • How to retrieve comments from one OfficeTask activity and use them in another OfficeTask activity for Multi level Approval sequential Workflow

    I'm designing a sequential site workflow using Visual Studio 2010 for Project Server 2010. In my case, I have following 6 stages in the workflow:
    1. InitialProposal Stage
    2. Approval Stage1 -- Needs approval from Approver Project Security Group Members1
    3. Rejection Stage
    4. Approval Stage2 -- Needs approval from Approver Project Security Group Members 2
    5. Execution Stage
    6. Completed Stage
    Requirement is workflow should move to Approval stage2 from Approval stage1  if approved by all members of Approver Project Security Group1and it should move to Rejection Stage even if a single member rejects it.
    Workflow should move from Approval Stage2 to Execution Stage if approved by all members of Approver Project Security Group2 and it should move back to Approval Stage1 on rejection by a single member of the group.
    I'm using inbuilt PSWApproval content type and OfficeTask activity for creating approval task for the group members at both stages.
    On task rejected in Approval stage2, task will be assigned again to Approval Stage1 and I want to show comments given by members of Approver Project Security Group2 to the members of Approver Project Security Group1 with this assigned task
    but I'm not able to retrieve comments from officeTask activity.
    My question is where exactly these comments are saved? how can we retrieve them and use them in another officetask activity? If this is not possible then what is the possible solution for meeting above mentioned business requirement?

    Hi Paul,
    Thanks for your suggestion.
    By comments field I'm assuming OfficeTask.Comments field. Problem is, this field is always null. I tried accessing this field in CheckExitCondition activity as well as in OnTaskCompleted but in both the cases, it was null only(I wrote comments while approving
    the task).
    I used a code activity within OnTaskCompleted activity and following code for accessing Comments and Description fields:
    public string officeComments;
            public string officeDescription;
            private void TaskCOmplete(object sender, EventArgs e)
                CodeActivity Sender = (CodeActivity)sender;
                Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Actions.OfficeTask ofctask1 = ((CompositeActivity)Sender.Parent).Parent as Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Actions.OfficeTask;
                officeComments = ofctask1.Comments;
                officeDescription = ofctask1.Description;          
    Please tell me if I'm doing anything wrong here, I'm very new to Workflows. Also, do I need to set any specific property of officeTask for retriving comments?
    Thank you

    Not unless you provide the code you are actually using.
    There is no definition of 'p_code_result' in your post and you say you 'trying to select data from d_table' but there is no code that loads 'd_table' in what you posted.
    And the SELECT query you posted actuall selects from an object named 'l_loop_idag_code_table1' which isn't mentioned in your code.
    Post the actual code you are using and all of the structures being used.
    Also explain why you even need to use nested tables and PL/SQL for whatever it is you are really doing.
