HT204074 How do I remove a device from my itunes account?

I am trying to remove my daughter's ipod from my account as she broke it and we are replacing it with a new one. I no longer want it listed as one of my devices. However, there is NO "Manage Devices" option anywhere on my screen!!! I have looked everywhere and cannot see that? On the tech support page it says just go to the "Manage Devices" and remove it??? HELP!
thanks for any advice!

De-authorize it. Or check the instructions given in the Learn about link at the top of this topic. Also check the links below the heading "More Like This" on the right side of the page.
Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

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.

How do i remove a device from my itunes account

I no longer have my iPad. How can I remove it so it doesnt show up in iTunes, find my iPhone

You need to log in to your icloud account on www.icloud.com
Remove your device from Find My iPhone
Sign in to icloud.com/find using your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).
If you’re using another iCloud app, click the iCloud button to switch apps.
Click Devices, select the offline device you want to remove, then click the Delete icon .
The Delete icon appears only after Find My iPhone has tried and failed to connect to your device (this may take a few minutes).
Note: You can also click the “Remove from Find My iPhone” button in the device’s Info window.

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.

What sort of transaction ?
If it's an auto-renewing subscription that is due then there are instructions on this page for managing and stopping them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098
If it's a pre-order that is being released then see this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5714
If it's something that you've already 'paid for' then purchases are considered final, but you can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they will cancel/refund it : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

I have 5 computers authorized to use my iTunes. 2 of those computers do not exist and have had their hard drives destroyed. How do I remove those computer from my iTunes account?

Begin by opening the iTunes program and going to the iTunes Store via the iTunes Store button in the top right.
Once you're at the iTunes Store, click on the Sign In button at the top left corner (if you're not signed in) or on your account name in the same location (if you're already signed in).
This will bring you to your iTunes account. In the top box, you'll see a section labelled Computer Authorizations towards the bottom. Next to it is a button that reads Deauthorize All. Click it.
A window will pop up asking you to confirm that this is what you want to do. Continue.
In just a few seconds, all 5 computers on your account will be deauthorized.
Now, re-authorize just the computers that you still use and you'll be all set.

How do I remove a device from my iCloud account?

Hi, my daughters iphone is connected to my icloud account.
How do I remove her device from that account?
Thanks.

If you mean that she is sharing your iCloud account and you want to migrate her phone to a separate account, start by saving any photo stream photos she wants to keep on her phone to her camera roll (unless already there) by opening her my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward pointing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll. If she is syncing notes with iCloud, you will need to open each one and email them to her so she can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in her new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from her phone, not from iCloud; your device will not be effected by this), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create her new account and choose Merge to upload her data.
Once your devices are on different accounts you can each go to icloud.com from your computer and delete the other person's data from your account.

How can I remove an app from my iTunes account?

I have several apps that I purchasesd or added to my account that I know I will never use again. How can I delete these from my iTunes account?

Hi Annaoxie,
If you no longer wish to see certain Apps would hiding the Apps work for you?
Hide and unhide purchases in the Mac App Store - Apple Support
If you hide an item you purchased in the Mac App Store, you won't get update notifications for it, and you won't see it on your Purchases page. If you're using Family Sharing, hidden items will also be hidden from your family members.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

No. You can sync as many ipods as you like.

How do I remove ONE device from an iCloud account to a new one?

I am moving to college this fall, and want to separate myself and my apple devices (iPad 2 and iPhone 4s) from my family's apple ID. For a few years we've all shared a single ID for purchases of apps and music, as well as syncing our calendar events on our iPads. I just recently got an iPhone, and it bothers me that, having set it up under the same iCloud account, the contact list between me and my mom's phone is the same. I don't need all of her work contacts on my phone, nor does she need all of my friends on her phone.
I've been cautious, because I always knew I would create a separate account eventually - and I know purchases are not transferable. I haven't purchased any music on the iTunes store, and with the exception of two or three $.99 apps I've chosen free apps on my iPad and iPhone. I've created my own apple ID now, but what I want to do is change my devices from our family's iCloud account to my OWN...I'm not sure how to do this exactly.
I see a setting in the devices under Settings>iCloud that says "Delete Account" ....but I hesitate to press that - will it only delete the account on THIS device? Or does it remove the account entirely from all associated devices??
Thanks for your help!

Winston is correct, and that is exactly what you should do. This will allow you to sign in to your own Apple ID for iCloud.
There's a couple other places you will want to do the same thing:
-iTunes Store: Settings > Store > Tap on the Apple ID and chose Sign Out.
And possibly:
-iMessage: Settings > Messages > Receive At
-Facetime: Settings > Facetime

How do I remove and phone from my iTunes account?

My dad and I share an iTunes account. He only has a couple apps so he uses my account to buy them and update them. We both backed up our iPhones to iCloud and we both updated our phones today through iTunes. Now all of our contacts are merged together. I went through and delted all of his contacts on my phone and then there were also delted on his phone. None of my contacts I had before I updated my phone are there. How do I get them back? And how can I take my dad off my account and have him sign up for his own so this doesn't happen again? If this helps I have the iPhone 5 and my dad has the iPhone 3G

This is caused by using the same iCloud account on both phones. When you do this any data you sync with the shared iCloud account such as contacts is merged and will appear on all devices connected to the account. Also, any actions you take on one device (such as deleting contacts) is replicated on all other devices. To fix this you both need to have separate iCloud accounts (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores).
Decide which phone will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting the other person's contacts from your account, and vice versa).
Since you deleted your dad's contacts from the iCloud account, unless he has a separate backup somewhere else, they're gone.
