Reissued mac has a previous user's itunes account.

My company issued me a mini mac that was previously used by an employee that no longer works here.  The itunes account that is tied to the mac mini is setup under her apple account, so I can't get any software updates.  Before I realized this, all my photos were copied from my original mac in a conversion script.  New photos are here too.  Aside from not getting updates, it seems I can't tap into Itunes from other sources ( Shutterfly for example) to load up pics.
Is there anything I can do to bypass her email account?

Thanks for your information around piracy, etc., but I realize I wasn't clear in my question...
...let me clarify...
I have my OWN iTunes account...don't need to steal anyone else 'free' games that are loaded on this work machine (especially as I don't play games when I'm working - I'm self-employed and playing games when I could be making money doesn't make any sense).
The company hasn't in ANY way condoned 'stealing of another person's paid applications' as it's 6 'free' games that are requiring 'updates'.
What I'm trying to accomplish, is to have her ID removed from this laptop, thus allowing me to set up my own stuff (purchased and free).
If anyone cares to answer whether or not this can be accomplished, that'd be great. If it can't I'll simply send this proprietary 13"aptop back to Head Office, and continue using my 17" PC laptop which has served me well until this point. Being self-employed contract, I can use whatever I want, but everyone talks about how great and easy Mac's are to use...so I told them I'd try it...
Again, if there's actually any way to remove the old User (and her 6 free games) from the App Store window on here, please feel free to share how.

  • IPhone oddly associates itself with other user's iTunes accounts

    Hello everyone,
    I have been having a strange problem. Most times that I use someone else's wireless network for Internet access and that person also has an iTunes account, my iPhone will automatically associate with that user's iTunes account. Usually, if I restart the phone, it reassociates with my iTunes account, but this time it is stuck on my friend's account. I never manually entered his account information.
    As a result, I cannot download any new apps or update existing apps, as the iPhone asks for my friend's password when I try to download from the App Store.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Hi Steve,
    You'll need to sync the iPhone with a computer that is signed into the iTunes Store with your AppleID.

  • HT1977 my husband has an iPhone and an itunes account. can he purchase an app through his itunes account then connect his iphone to my laptop to then get it from there?

    My spouse and i both have iphones. I also have a mac and we both have seperate itunes accounts. My spouse wants to purchase an app on my laptop and then sync it to his phone. How do we do this? Also can the app that he purchase also be put onto my phone? How do we do that?

    While it is a good idea to do iOS updates on the devices, if it is working alright, you can wait. It sounds as if there is an issue with the Internet connection on the computer you are trying to do the update from. It can time out, 3rd party security software on the computer can interfere with the update. There are any number of reasons. Depending on what type of computer you are using, you can check to make sure iTunes is up to date and then try again. If using security/anti-virus software, you can temporarily disable that and attempt the update again.

  • How can I see what has been purchased on my iTunes account

    How can I see what has been purchased on my iTunes account and when?

    In iTunes, in the lefthand sidebar:

  • Question why has my balance on my itune account have totally disappeared when I have only been using it for less than a year? had still fair bit of money in it too. around $60

    Question why has my balance on my itune account have totally disappeared when I have only been using it for less than a year? had still fair bit of money in it too. around $60

    First, make sure you're logged into the iTunes Store using the account ID and password you set up, or used, when you redeemed your card/gift.  If you are, try signing out of the account and back in.
    If you're sure you are using the correct account and that you're signing in to the iTunes Store, and signing out and back in doesn't help, go to the Purchase History and review your purchases to make sure that you should indeed have a balance left. iTunes doesn't always refresh the balance it shows, so it's possible you spent the money and it just wasn't being reflected in the display. This display error can usually be corrected by logging out of the iTunes Store and then back in.
    If you confirm that you should have balance left but the iTunes Store isn't showing it correctly, send a message to the iTunes Store customer service department through the contact form you'll find by selecting the most applicable section of their Support page (select the Contact Support link and follow the instructions) and explain the problem to them.
    Good luck.

  • I have over 3000 tunes on my itunes account, can i share these with my husband - he has never set up an itunes account

    I have over 3000 tunes on my itunes account, can I share these with my husband - he has never set up an itunes account.
    Thanks for your help.

    The second link in ingo's response is key.  If you husband syncs his device on the same computer, whether under the same apple I'd or not, you can share music( each pick their own based on what they want to carry around) and pictures, and apps.    
    Updating apps can get tricky, as they will only update to the original apple id that bought them.  But music is fine.
    You may need to authorize the new computer if he will be using a seperate apple id.  And make sure you don't just sync everything, or one device or the other will get wiped.  If you want to sync only music, they'll that to I tunes in the tab setting for that device.

  • How do i wipe a phone that has been registered with another itunes account?

    I have several users who have upgraded their company phones from 4/4S to new 5/5S devices.  They used their personal iTunes account to register the phone.  Now when I try to do a restore and wipe the device of the device, it won't let me without the previous user's Apple ID.  Is there a way around this?  One of the phones I am trying to wipe, the user is no longer with the company and I don't know how to get ahold of them.  Is that phone just useless now?

    You will need the user's Apple ID and password, or you will need to get them to go into iCloud and erase the iPhone. If you can't get in touch with a user, then your only hope will be to contact Apple Support. I've read from others that with proof that your company owns the iPhone there is something they can do to help, but that's not confirmed.
    This is the problem with allowing users to set up Find My iPhone with personal Apple IDs. You should set them up with a company-controlled ID for iCloud so as to avoid this problem.
    Regards.

  • Can you have two different users with itune accounts on the same computer?

    Yes, create another user profile on the computer and each user can log into their own profile that way.

    Hi Dennis,
    If you want to share iTunes purchases between multiple accounts in the same family you could use Family Sharing.

  • What does it mean when you get a pop up notification saying that a phone number has been associated with your iTunes account? And what does it mean when I don't know the number that is associating with my account? Should I be worried?

    I got a notification stating that a number has been associated with my now old iTunes account and it is a number I do not recognize. Should I be worried at all?

    Yes, if you don't bother to change your password. You may also want to seriously consider turning on two step authentication.

  • Separating users on Itunes account

    My son and daughter use the same I tunes account because we can't figure out how to have two i pods on the same computer with different account abilities. This causes problems when my daughter uses all the account balance from my son's I tunes cards. any suggestions?

    Two suggestions roughly along the same lines
    Either create profiles in XP for you, your son and daughter
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/279783
    which should allow for a new itunes account to be created for each user in xp
    or
    start itunes, an immediately press shift, which allows for profiles to be created under itunes
    However, the first option is preferable.
