Remove/Add devices associated with my account

Recently I purchased 2 used MBP laptops, 1 new iPhone, gave my old iPhone to my wife, got an iPad from my work, etc...  I'm trying to get all these devices properly associated with my iCloud Account, iTunes, Find my iPhone and My Support Profile.
My head is spinning with all these devices and associations.  So let's start with iCloud & My Support Profile
1. iCloud > Settings shows one laptop that I have sold and wiped the hard drive, so how can I be signed into it?  It also shows my old iPhone 5, that my wife is now using, so how can I be signed into it?   There is no option to remove these devices.  I clicked the Advanced Tab > Sign Out Everywhere, but that had no effect.  Can this be corrected somehow?
2. My Support Profile.  I was able to add my new iPhone 6.  Not able to add my (new to me) used MBP.  It says it is associated with another Apple ID.  The previous owner has said he will try and disassociate it from his account, but I'm not sure he is savy enough to figure it out (or just doesn't care).  There is still 6 months left on Apple Care, so I think it's important to correct this.  Can it be without the PO's help? 

Hi kshep29,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has some information on how to associate devices with your Apple ID that may help:

  • When trying to access music stored on my icloud i get the following warning 'This computer is already associated with an Apple ID'. itunes support say they have 'released' all devices associated with my account but i still have the same problem-any ideas?

    cant access music sored in my icloud when using my lap top. any ideas?

    iTunes imposes a 90 day wait period before a device can be associated with a different ID.  If iTunes support only removed all devices associated with your ID, this does not override the 90-day wait period.  From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627:
    "Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90 day timer. The timer must complete 90 days from the day the device was associated before it can be associated to another Apple ID."
    Unless iTune support can override the wait period for you, you have no choice but to wait if you want to download it from iCloud.  If your purchases music is on any of your iOS deivces, you can transfer it to the iTunes library on your computer by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in iTunes, Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting your device to your computer, opening iTunes, and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.

  • How do I add an ipad to my itunes account which was previously associated with another account and user?

    how do I add an ipad to devices in my itunes account which was previously associated with another account?

    Just sign into your own ID in Settings>iTunes & App Store. Sign out of the old ID and sign into your ID. I get the feeling though, that there is more to what you are trying to do or want to do and I'm not understanding or you are not explaining completely.
    If this is a previously owned iPad, it should have been erased before you got possession of it.

  • HT201441 Previous user has left the Company and is uncontactable. The company owned iphone is associated with thier account.How do we provide POP to Apple for Apple to dissasociate the device?

    Previous user has left the Company and is uncontactable. The company owned iphone is associated with thier account.
    How do we provide POP to Apple for Apple to dissasociate the device form the previous users account?
    Thanks.

    Without the previous user's ID and password, or getting him to remove the phone from his list of devices, the iPhone is useless. There is no workaround for this and certainly where individuals are concerned Apple cannot help.
    I have seen a suggestion that Apple may be willing to do this in a corporate situation like the one you are in, but I've seen no confirmation of this. You have nothing to lose by contacting Apple and asking, but don't be surprised if you are told it can't be done. This is a security device and if it was possible to bypass it there would be no point in having it in the first place.

  • My iPad 2 is connected, works well and is found under "devices" on the left side of my iTunes window.  But when I go into my iTunes account the iPad2 is not listed nor found to be "associated" with my account.  Why not?

    My iPad 2 is connected, works well and is found under "devices" on the left side of my iTunes window.  However, when I go into my iTunes store account under "manage devices" the iPad2 is not listed nor found to be "associated" with my account.  Why not?

    Even if you put a credit or debit card on file with iTunes it will still use your balance FIRST.
    I would suggest putting a card on file and testing to see if it will allow you to make a purchase, then removing the card from the account after successful download of an item.

  • How can I change the name of devices associated with my Apple ID in iTunes?

    We have 3 iPads and 4 iPhones in our family.  All of the iPads show up on the list of devices associated with my Apple ID as simply "iPad".  All of the iPhones show up simply as "iPhone", even though each device has a distinct name on the device itself (ie. Mark's iPhone).  How can I get the distinct name to show up on the list of devices so I can keep the list updated as we add or remove devices from our collection?

    Not it it's an @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com address.  In that case your choices are to either create an email alias within the existing account, which delivers email to your existing iCloud inbox (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a), or create a new iCoud account.  Note: alias addresses are permanently tied to the account that you create them in; they cannot be used to create a new iCloud account or be moved to a different account in the future.

  • I would like to delete my debit card information from all devices  associated  with it with it

    I would like to remove my bank debit card information from all apple devices associated with it. I have charges to my account that I do not want to continue as I don't know where they are coming from. I need to delete all credit information as soon as possible. It has caused many a problem with my bank account. What can I do. I do not want to go to each device as I do not know which one it. I have already deleted it from two but now charges are appearing and they are not $.99  charges but $ 10.68 charges. Any help from you would be appreciated.

    If you mean associated with your AppleID, you need to remove the payment method from your account: https://appleid.apple.com/

  • Device associated with my Apple ID in iTunes

    Hi,
    There is one more device associated with my Apple ID and I cannot figure it out whose ID that device belongs to. It has been a long time now that device is still linked with my Apple ID for all downloads and purchases from the iTunes App Store. How can I find out the actual Apple ID of that device, I asked the iTunes Support for that ID but my apple id shows up every time obviously that device has been using my ID for all the downloads. Is it possible to get that ID, the user name of that device?

    As the device is showing on that screen then it's still tied to your account (so only your account can be being used on it for iTunes Match, automatic downloads, and redownloading past purchases). It's probably unlikely that iTunes Support will tell you if a different account is being used on the phone (or anything else about it).
    Does 'RMAK' mean anything to you, and/or have you had any other iPhones in the past that you've since sold or given away, or might you have logged into your account on another phone back in January 2013 ? If you don't know whose phone it is then you could click the 'remove' button, that will stop it using your account, and change your account's password e.g. by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and logging into it, via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com

  • Cannot start VM - IDE Emulator Failed to Power on with Error 'The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.'

    HI all.
    New install of 2008R2 on HP DL-380 G6.  I have created (several) VM's none of which will start.  If I remove the IDE Hard Disk and add a DVD of the OS ISO, it will boot and start the install (although with no HDD). 
    It seems like the IDE controller is working ok - it is what the DVD drive is using, but it cannot mount a VHD.  The error indicates a driver is not working (although the DVD on IDE works fine) so something to do with VHD?  I can attach the VHD
    in disk management, so it does not seem corrupt - again I have tried with both dynamic and fixed VHDs.
    Full error is:
    'Test1' failed to start. (Virtual machine ID 4320D2D6-DF7E-40D2-BD0F-9562CBB9F052)

  • Serial Number Associated with Another Account

    I believe my iPod Touch was stolen. There is a chance my son hid/lost it somewhere in the house. It's pathetic, I know.
    In my iTunes account, the iPod is no longer listed as one of my devices.  When I attempt to add the device by entering the serial number it says this device is associated with another account.  This it what makes me think the iPod is stolen
    When I go to iCloud "Find My iPhone" App, the iPod and my iPhone are listed there.  When I select "All Devices" from the drop down menu the iPod is not listed as one of my devices. Because I was able to select it to locate it, I did that.  I flagged it as lost, locked it and asked to be notified when it is discovered.  The device is offline and I will be notified when it comes back online. If the battery is dead in my house I know this is useless. 
    Bottom line...because the device is associated with another account, should I assume it was stolen? If it was, will the "Find My Phone" app work if the iPod is now associated with another account? If it is associated with another account, can I assume the content was cleared?
    Thanks for your time and help.

    You should assume it's stolen, though there's also the possibility you or someone else in the house used a different Apple ID to register it when you first got it, and don't remember.
    Find my iPhone will still work regardless of who it's registered to. No one can sign out of iCloud (and therefore Find my iPod) on the device without entering your Apple ID and password )the one used to sign into iCloud).

  • My 4th generation nano is no longer associated with my account

    I completed the trouble shooting steps suggested by Apple but my nano is still not an associated device under my iTunes account.  I have no idea how to fix this! Pls help!

    ??? A 4th generation nano doesn't get "associated" with your account. You load media onto it from an iTunes library. "Association" is for computers or IOS devices. "Authorization" is just for computers.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Here is a KB that discusses that error:
    KB25553 "There are too many PIN changes associated with this account (Error ID: 30801)" is encountered when attempting to login to BlackBerry App World
    As you see, the way to resolve it is clear, and you seem to have reached some folks in your attempts that were not able to resolve it. Nevertheless, you should not allow them to fob you off...insist that the KB instructs the resolution path and insist that they make good on that.

  • Itunes says it is already associated with another account on ipad2 when i only have one account

    I am trying to get my ipad2 to download purchases previously made from itunes. If i go to settings store and slide the automatic downloads for music to on, it says that this device is associated with another account and cannot be changed for 90 days,  i only have one itunes account and these settings are saved underneath. Any ideas?

    I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • HT204406 My iPhone tells me that iTunes Match is associated with another account. But it works on my iPad and MacBook. It says I have to wait 90 days. Please Help!

    My iPhone wants me to wait 90 days before I can use it again with iTunes Match. It is telling me that it is associated with another account. This is not true. I have tried restarting, logging out of the store, syncing with my MacBook ((where iTunes Match works). There seems to be no tech support for iTunes Match . I have not been able to find anything except this forum.
    Thanks.

    First which version of iOS are you currently running on your ipad? If running iOS 5.1 or later you can upadate righ from ipad using wifi.
    You should use the same computer that you normally sync to (itunes, by default, will not let you sync to more than one itunes libray)
    If not, you can turn off auto syncing.
    Without the ipad connected to the computer, go to itunes preferences/devices and check the box at the bottom to prevvent ipads, iphones and ipads from syncing automatically.
    Then reconnect ipad to computer.
