Hi AKKY79,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  You can sign out of the iTunes Store and sign in as your own account by following these instructions:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Manage your iTunes Store account
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12507
Choose Store > Sign In (or Sign Out).
If the Store menu does not appear, you can turn on iTunes menus as described here:

    Bought a used iphone and someones icloud account is on it. I reset it with itunes and then it only lets me get so far when it says it is still tied to another account. How can I delete it without there email and password???

    Welcome to the Apple community cstm28.
    Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

  • I bought a used computer and I am currently upgrading to Mavericks.  How can I erase the current password from the seller?

    I just bought a used computer and i am currently updating this computer to Mavericks upgrade for free.  How can I wipe it clean, and also how can I reset the password from the sellers password?

    You really have to start with the MBP as it came out of the box.  Read these directions;

    You then will have to create your own password and account.

  • I just bought a used iMac and I'm having problems updating my apps from the app store! it shows that i am signed in, but when trying to update, the email of previous owner shows and i cannot change it! how can i fix this?

    how can i change the email from previous owner of the computer to mine?

    The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
    1a. If you don't own another Mac
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    1b. If you do own another Mac
    If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can boot from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
    2. Partition and install OS X
    If you see a lock screen when trying to boot from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
    Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In thePartition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
    3. Other issues
    If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to  authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
    When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information.

  • I received a computer passed down to me but it has someone else's itunes on it. How do I get all of that off to get my stuff on it?

    I got my cousin's old computer and she still has all of her music and apps on it. I would like to get rid of all of that to get my music on the computer. She did get everything on itunes through icloud so I am scared to delete everything because I dont know if it will delete her stuff from her phone and new computer. If anybody knows what to do please help! Thanks!

    If you want the computer to operate entirely as if it is yours instead of hers, then you need to start from scratch and erase everything off the computer. Then you reinstall OS X and configure the system for yourself.
    Deleting iTunes just removes iTunes. Does nothing else. Everything else on the computer would remain the same.
    If you just want to remove her iTunes Library, then navigate to the /Home/Music/ folder. Drag the iTunes folder to the Trash and Empty the Trash. Her stuff is now gone. Now transfer your iTunes folder onto the drive in the same location. Note, however, this doesn't change anything else on the computer.

  • When I set up my new computer, I was unable to restore my navigation bar, and someone else's replaced mine

    I set up my new computer from an external hard drive that I shared with my daughter and is configured to her computer. Even though I downloaded the newest version of Firefox and have my email address in the preferences, I still am showing my daughter's navigation bar and bookmarks. I can't access my own

    I do not use a Mac. But when you install a new version of Firefox it will try to use existing settings etc from what is known as the profile. The profile includes your bookmarks.
    * see [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
    *[[Recovering important data from an old profile]]
    If you share a computer with someone normally each user has their own profile, and there may be permissions preventing users accessing one-anothers accounts. Firefox will normally setup a profile in each account. You will need to search for and find your old profile.
    *Any idea where your own old profile is ?
    *Have you still got the old computer, and is it in working order
    ** or is your daughter's computer the only one you had?
    ** who set up Firefox initially was that yourself, your daughter or someone else ? <br /> (They may understand how it was set up)
    Did you backup your bookmarks or your profile, or sync with any other device?

  • Bought a used Ipod and when installing software, music on Ipod is gone

    I bought a used Ipod, and after I installed the software and got my Ipod reformatted, all of the music that was on there is gone.
    Is this supposed to happen? If not, could someone please tell me how to recover all of this music?
    And if that is supposed to happen, that's just pathetic. There isn't anything in the user guide or anything that says that installing an Ipod on a different computer will complete wipe out whatever was stored on it.

    restoring means setting the ipod back to factory defaults and wiping it clean
    reset means reset - toggle it back into active mode

  • HT204053 i bought an used ipad and need to delete the former owner's apple id how and use mine?

    I bought a used iPad1 that has the former user's apple id. I have an apple id myself that i can use to purchase apps, etc.
    1. However, do i need to reset the device to use my ID? I've made purchases from my laptop and need to sync them to the ipad.
    2. My latop is authorized and all the connectivity tests etc are ok. I get the message do I want to erase my library when i sync. there was music that i like on the device when i got it. I don't want to lose it by  saying yes to deleting it. Oh yeah i don't think this music is in the itunes on the ipad. what can i do?
    Can't you see i don't know where to go, help me please!

    You should log out of the currently logged in account by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and you should then do Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings to put it back to factory settings (which the previous owner should have done) - you can then sync your own content to it.

  • I bought a used iPhone on ebay.  when I try to activate it, I get a message that the owner needs to sign in to the device with their appleID and password.  I have no way of knowing who the owner is.  How can I get around this?

    I bought a used iPhone on ebay.  when I try to activate it, I get a message that the owner needs to sign in to the device with their appleID and password.  I have no way of knowing who the owner is.  How can I get around this?

    Check the eBay listing. Did it state the device was Activation Locked? If not, then make a claim as Meg stated and get a refund. You will not be able to activate the phone and no one can help you contact the owner, unless that is the person that sold the device. If they cannot remove the phone from their account because it is not theirs, then refund is your route. Even Apple cannot assist with locating the previous owner.

    Basic troubleshooting steps right out of the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  If you've been through ALL the steps and you still have the problem, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

    I bought a used iPhone and found him email iCloud does not affect me so how can I deleted this email in order to use the device freely and privacy
    help me please

    You can't. Return the phone for a refund, if you can, because without the previous owner's Apple ID/Password, you will not be able to re-activate the phone. It will be useless to you.
    Apple can't/won't help you with this.

  • I bought a used iPod and they were previously signed onto their iCloud. I have been wanting to change it but I have not been able to sign out of the previous account because I cannot sign out of "Find My iPod Touch". How am I able to log that off?

    I bought a used iPod and they were previously signed onto their iCloud account. I have been wanting to change it but I have not been able to sign out of the previous account because I cannot sign out of "Find My iPod Touch" due to not knowing the password. How am I able to shut that off and log into my own account?

    You can't.  This is a security feature to prevent the resale of stolen iOS devices.  You need to contact the seller and have him/her remove it from their iCloud account.  Or return and get your money back.  See: Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support

  • I've bought an used iPad and i want to transfer the registration

    Hi,
    I've bought an used iPad and i'd like to transfer the registration of the product from his profile to mine.
    What should we do?

    You can try but I'm not certain if you can re register a previously registered device. The warranty only extends from the original date of purchase.
