HT1420 Is it possible to deauthorize an iDevice from your iTunes account?

I sold my iPod to a little girl when I FINALLY got an iPhone last Christmas. I didn't think to change the account settings on the iPod before handing it off, so apparently the girl is still using my account information on her computer. I recieve her iMessages since we "share" an account, and I assume she can see my iMessages too, which is embarrassing. There is a definite privacy issue, and now I'm afraid to send iMessages. Lol.
What I'm wondering is, is there a way I can totally deauthorize her device from using my account?
I accessed my iTunes account and saw where my devices were listed, but the only device it showed was my iPhone. If that's true, why am I recieving her iMessages?
I tried to contact her to let her know that she needs to create a whole new iTunes account for herself, but I got no reply, of course.
Also, I noticed where on Settings>Messages>Send&Recieve it had my number and my email address listed, but my number was ghosted. Why is that?
Clearly, I'm totally dumbfounded. All help is appreciated! I'm a text addict, and regular SMS is just not the same. I need answers fast! Lol.

No you cannot transfer purchases from one account to another account. Apple does not allow it and never has allowed it.
She can use you Apple ID on the device and switch between her ID and your ID, but that can cause problems at times and can become a bit of a pain.

  • We lost access to are computers in the last two month and we want to know how to deauthorize two computers from the itunes account can you please help us?

    We lost access to are computers in the last two months and we want to know how to deauthorize two computers from the ituns account can you please help me please?

    If you don't have access to the computers to manually deauthorize them (they were sold, stolen, etc), then you have to log into your account, deauthorize all computers, and then re-authorize the machine(s) that you want to have access. This page explains how.

  • I got a first generation IPOD TOUCH for my husband and want to take some songs From my Computer that is hooked up to MY newer IPOD (not Touch, just IPOD)  Is it possible to take the music from my ITUNES account and add the his IPOD Touch without changing

    I am trying to take songs from my PC AND My Itunes account and send them to my husband's IPOD TOUCH First Generation BUT I don't want to change my whole ITUNES account that is already on my computer.  When I plug HIS Ipod Touch into the PC, my ITUNES account wants me to CHANGE the DEVICE Name on the account and I don't want to do that.  I only want to share SOME of my songs on my Itunes account and send them to h is IPOD TOUCH?  Is this possible and HOW!  Thanks a ton!!!  I "checked" off the songs that I want to send but that's as far as I get before it asks me to change the Device Name?

    Is his iPod usually synced to a different iTunes library/computer?  If so, that would explain the message iTunes is giving you.  An iPod is designed to sync with only one computer/iTunes library at a time.  If you try to sync it with a new library, the iPod's contents will be erased and replaced with what is in the newer/different iTunes library.
    So if there is content you would like to add to his iPod, simply transfer it from your iTunes library to his.

  • Is it possible for someone to hack in your iTunes account I owe a bill on mine but I have not downloaded anything

    I Think someone has hack into my iTunes account I don't know how this happened or how to stop it I changed my password but still was afraid so I made a new iCloud but I don't know how to use it with iTunes my old one keeps popping up does anyone have any answers please help

    Certainly. If someone has hacked his Apple ID, they could use it on a different device, and could send messages as him. These messages would sync to his devices as well. Of course, use of an Apple ID on a different device causes a warning message to appear on all other devices using that Apple ID, saying that the Apple ID is being used on a new device. He may have simply dismissed that message without reading or understanding it and has forgotten all about it.
    Or, of course, he might have sent the messages and be trying to deny responsibility... Can't rule that out, but what he's saying is indeed possible.

  • I would like to deauthorize old computers from my iTunes account, but not my current Mac -

    I noticed in my iTunes account I have 4 computers authorized.   This list must include old computers which I no longer use (we currently only have one computer using my iTunes account).  The only option is to "deauthorize all", which makes me nervous as it implies it will also deauthorize my current computer, which I obviously don't want to do.  I would like to "clean it up", and remove old computers no longer assoicated with my iTunes, but am a little paranoid about doing it.
    Just looking for some advice, before I start clicking buttons I don't know much about, lol!

    You need to use the Deauthorize All function; if this deauthorizes your current computer, you can authorize it immediately afterwards.

  • How do i deauthorize a cpu from my itunes account, if i don't have that cpu

    i need to deauthorize a cpu so i can add a new one but it says i have used the maximum of 5 already authorized. these are old devices i dont own anymore how can i deauthorize them

    If you've reached five authorizations for that account, there will be a button in your iTunes Store account information that will allow you to deauthorize all systems associated with that account. Log into your Store account and you should see it. You can then reauthorize the computers you're using now.

  • How do you Deauthorize a machine from your account

    Hi all, I don't know if I'm posting in the right place or not, If I'm not then I'm sorry. How do you Deauthorize a Machine from your account, anybody know? what it is. When I set the account up to buy tracks from Itunes. I was using the same Laptop that I'm using now, Just a differnt hard drive as The old hard drive died on me. I never bought any tracks from Itunes so I didn't have any to lose. I couldn't deauthorize this laptop because I didn't know that the laptop was going to die on me. In went the new hard drive. re-installed windows xp pro & re-installed itunes 8.1 clicked on authorize this machine & it came up with 3 machines out of 5. it's the same Laptop on the account. how to I remove this laptop twice from the account is it possible cheers?, If i do remove 1 of the machines, will I lose the rights to play back the tracks that I've bought today?

    You can't deauthorise 'dead' installations or computers you no longer have access to individually. However once you reach the limit of 5 authorisations you have the option to deauthorise them all in one go from your iTunes account and start over. *Just note that you can only use this option once a year*: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

    There are no contacts in itunes.
    Your contact should be on your computer in whatever program you have selected to sync.  Just sync them to the new one.

  • I've been told I should deauthorize all my devices and reauthorize them. Can you deauthorize an iPhone from the iTunes App?

    I've been told I should deauthorize all my devices and reauthorize them. Can you deauthorize an iPhone from the iTunes App?

    I read an answer on another issue that said you don't deauthorize iPhones from the phone, and to deauthorize everything from the iTunes store. But when I go to the iTunes store, it tells me my computer is not authorized, (I just had this computer repaired & the iTunes store doesn't recognize it, and it says we already have 5 devices authorized). Is there a place to deauthorize everything at once, so I can add devices back individually?

  • Is it possible to retreive deleted messages from your Iphone

    Yeah, unless you want to deal with the pain of trying to get you messages to your computer, you will have to take a screenshot (by taping the home and lock button at the same time).
    If you want to print a screenshot, it will be in the photos app to print ( click the share button and click print).  If you so not have a AirPrint printer, there are third-party apps for computers like fingerprint (look it up) that can make a fake AirPrint printer.
    I want to add something more.
    In most cases, you would need to use a paid third party tool to export and then print your iPhone text messages on your computer. If you have a low amount of messages you want to print you can also take prints creens of each message, then transfer the photos to your computer and print from there.

  • HT1420 Can I authorize more than 5 devices on my itunes account?

    Is there a way to add more than 5 devices to your itunes account?  In this day and age where a single person can have multiple, in my case 7 devices, I would like to authorize all my devices to my iTunes account because of iTunes Match. 

    As King_Penguin stated this does not include iOS devices, that is unless you are referring to devices associated with iTunes Match (10 devices, including iOS devices).
    It is likely that the other devices were old computers that never got deauthorized.
    Apple offers a Deauthorize All option for this very reason. It's use is limited to once per 12 month period.
    See the Deauthorize all computers section of this article:
    Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC
    After they are all deauthorized, go back and reauthorize each computer you are currently using.
