How do I unassociate an old iPod from my iTunes? Getting rid of an old 20GB iPod.

You do not. There is no such thing.
Simply restore the device as new to remove all your personal content from it.

I am selling my sons ipod and i need to reset the ipod from the itunes account because there is a password that no one remembers

I am selling my sons ipod and i need to reset the ipod from the itunes account because there is a password and no one remembers it. I am not an expert ( or even close) on the itunes stuff so I have tried everything I can see.

If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten and your device is running iOS 6 or earlier, restore the device from the computer to which the device is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the device into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

If your device is running iOS 7 and you set up Find My iPhone (iPad/iPod), however, then it has the Activation Lock on it and you'll need to enter in your Apple ID and password after erasing to be able to restore the device:

In Plugins I have two versions of Adobe Acrobat - how do I get rid of the old one?

In Plugins (and Applications) it shows two version of Adobe Acrobat: 10.1.13.16 and 11.0.10.32 How do I get rid of the old one?

Thanks! Especially for the last sentence :). Now that I found the path, I see the Adobe Acrobat 10.1.13.16 is the full version and Adobe Acrobat 11.0.10.32 is the reader. Should I delete the Reader?

How can i switch an ipod from my itunes account to my sisters?

i am giving my ipod to my sister but i don't know how to remove the ipod from my itunes account and add it to my sisters new itunes account

The easiest way to change the account you are using on your mobile device is to scroll down to the bottom of the iTunes Store or App Store on the device and tap the Apple ID button. Then:
- To sign out, or to sign in to a different account, tap the Sign Out button.
- To sign back in, tap the Sign In button, then tap either Use Existing Apple ID or Create New Apple ID, and follow the on-screen instructions from there.

Some songs on my iPod have "duplicates" that I want to get rid of. I need help getting rid of them.

So I just got my iPod touch 5th gen yesterday and with the new iTunes and ios, it's all really stupid and confusing. Just as I thought I was satisfied with the music on my iPod, I find out that some songs have two versions.
I downloadable songs from both my account and my brother's account. I read the message that I can't do the whole download of past purchases for 90 days and went on since it didn't really seem to effect anything on my 4th gen. Now I have 800+ songs on my iPod and I guess Apple decided to get rid of being able to delete songs right from the device. So I delete all the songs from my iPod, go into iTunes on my computer, sign into my brother's account, and download the songs from there that I wanted. Now I have about 300-400 songs downloaded on my computer in iTunes. I sync all the music to my iPod and now I think I'm satisfied. But when I go to some of the artists, it has one song that's ok to play and then it has the same song that can't be played with the cloud button next to how long the song is.
It's not a big deal, but it really bothers me. How can I get rid of the one that has the cloud next to it. Thanks for the help!

The Cloud by the song indicates that is is an iTunes purchase but it is not downloaded on the iPod. If you only want download iTunes purchases to show in the Music app go to Settings>itunes and pp Store and turn off Show aLL.

Change your password if someone is using your account without permission.

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

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.

How do I sync my iPod from the iTunes Music folder?

So basically, I have a bunch of bad songs on my iTunes that I would like to delete, but I want to keep the music files. I want to sync every single song I have on my computer right now (which are all currently on iTunes) to my iPod touch. The problem is, I want to delete all of the bad songs from iTunes so I only have the good songs left on iTunes and then sync them to the iPhone. So I want to have all my songs on my iPod Touch, but only the good ones on iTunes and my iPhone. So what I want to do is delete all of the bad songs from iTunes, but keep the files so that they stay on my computer. All of my songs are currently located at C:\Users\Owner\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music so if I delete all the bad songs from iTunes but click Keep Files, then all of my songs will stay retained in that folder, but will be gone from iTunes. I want to know if there is some way to sync all of the songs in my Music folder to my iPod without them being in iTunes.
Long story short, I want to put all of my entire Music folder on my iPod without using iTunes.
Thanks for any help.

1. you have to disable auto sync and continue sync manually ( which all advanced users with multiple devices do anyway)
Very doubtful even a majority of advanced users with multiple devices "sync" manually.
I don't.
(FYI: You don't "sync manually" You "manually manage" without syncing at all).
I have never called you names - like "advanced user" for example- I do not know or presume to know you or your habits, personally. I actually do sync manually (by clicking when I need to chose those little checkboxes), or I actually manually manage by dragging and dropping - I can do both. I also do not presume that I can teach you anything, but I can definetly help OP.
@Original Poster
Once you enable "manually manage option" and after you delete content that you don't want to have in your itunes, imagine you got something new that you want to put in your ipod. You add that movie to itunes and you instead of syncing it ( that would remove from ipod all content that is not itunes anymore.) you literally drag that movie from itunes library to the icon/image of your ipod in itunes on the left side. And it will sync only that movie/song/playlist, without affecting other things

I got a new computer. How do I change my sync settings to get rid of the old one and add the new computer?

I got a new desktop computer and a new ipad. I need to find out how to remove the old devices from my itunes sharing. Also need to find the easiest way to get my content to the new ipad without using cloud.

You can de-authorise the old computer from the store menu in iTunes on that computer.
You can't de-authorise just the computers you no longer have access to.
Your only option is to de-authorise all your computers and then re-authorise those you wish to be authorised. You can do this by logging into your account settings in iTunes on your computer (Store > View My ID) and selecting the option to de-authorise all.
Please note however, you are only permitted to do this once in each 12 month period, therefore you would be better de-authorising your computers before you lose access to them. you can do this from the 'Store' menu in iTunes.
To copy your library to your iPad! connect it by USB, select it from the device list in iTunes and check the items you want to sync, then select sync.

I downloaded a movie to the wrong library by accident. now i can't put the movie on my husband's ipod because it says it can only sync to one library at a time. how do i fix this? i don't want to get rid of the old videos, i just want to add new ones

i really don't know what i did wrong. i logged into itunes using my husband's id, then bought some movies. but for some reason, it downloaded them to my library, not his. now i can't put them on the ipod. is there any way to get them out of my library and into his library? i tried home sharing, but it still won't let me sync them to the ipod

Copy the movie from the current library to the correct library.
iDevices can only sync to one library at a time.
