Remove Other Users' Apple ID from Computer

Hello,
I am using my work computer, and before I had it, another employee was using it (who is no longer with the company).
I keep being prompted to udpate apps, but when I click update, it asks me to sign in to her account.
They aren't new apps, but general ones that come with the system like iMovie and iPhoto.
How can I remove her information so I don't keep getting prompted to update these apps (and not able to update them)?

The apps are permanently linked to the Apple ID account in which they were purchased. You will have to delete them and repurchase them in another account.

    I have windows 8.1 and cannot access itunes store even creating a new apple id. With other users on the same computer I can access itunes store. How can I solve this?

    i had the same problem before using a fresh install of Windows 8.1.  I have resolved this issue by running the program compatibility wizard.  This I did by right-clicking on the iTunes icon in the desktop, selecting Troubleshoot compatibility, waited for it to detect compatibility issues and when presented with the following options: 1.) Try recommended settings; 2.) Troubleshoot program, I chose the latter.  When asked what problems I noticed, I checked the following: "The program worked in earlier versions of Windows but won't install or run" and "The program requires additional permission"
    After that, it tired to resolve the issue, and provided the necessary settings to run iTunes.  Now it's running flawlessly.  I have Avast anti-virus installed though.
    HTH!

  • How to remove "Other..." from my sign-in screen?

    How to remove "Other..." from my sign-in screen?
    I was trying to change an Administrator Account by starting from my Leopard Install DVD and from the Utilities menu choosing Reset Password, etc. A longish story involving my inability to shut-down the computer while others are signed in but not actually using the computer. In Tiger I was able, since moving to Leopard I need to go into each of their accounts and manually log each of them out. A headache.
    For right right now I need to get rid of the Other... account name, etc from my sign-in screen. How do I do this in plain English please? I find all this Admin jargon does my head in.
    Cheers, SZ

    You need to disable the root user. From what I understand you enabled it from the install DVD's password reset.
    Use [these instructions|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106290] to disable it.
    Those instructions led me down this path, I have not the head to deal with them again today. My eyes glaze-over listening to myself read them aloud. SZ

  • How can I remove my old apple id from iTunes and put the new one in?

    Morning all, how can I remove my old apple Id from my I tunes account and replace it with the new apple ID, ?
    Many thanks
    Kimber. Lee

    Sign out of iTunes and sign in with the new ID. On your computer, under on of the iTunes menus, on your iPad Settings > iTunes and App Stores and tap on the Apple ID.
    Note that all apps downloaded under the previous ID are locked to that ID, and you will have to sign back onto it for any updates.

  • How do i remove my old Apple Id from iPhone's iCloud setting which does not exist anymore

    Purchased new iphone 5s, installed with itunes restoring backup from iphone 4 (which was too old a backup). It restored an old apple id (which i do not use anymore) in the iCloud settings while having my new Apple Id in the Itunes & App Store. I cannot turn off the iCloud setting due to old AppleId popping up - which does not exist.. How do i remove the old Apple Id from icloud setting on the phone.
    I cannot erase the phone as it asks for the password for the old Apple Id. And i cannot do the restore again (after i made a recent back up my iphone 4) as itunes asks me to turn off Find my phone.

    The Apple ID exists. The email address you used to create it may not, but the Apple ID does. Call AppleCare and ask to speak to someone in account security.

  • How do I remove an incorrect apple ID from an iPad and replace it with the correct one?

    How can I remove an incorrect Apple ID from my ipad and replace it with the correct one?

    Hello Shy guy,
    You can try this:
    1. Go to the iTunes Store or App Store
    2. Scroll down, there you will see Apple ID: "your email" (below Redeem and Send Gift)
    3. Tap on that button
    4. Tap on Sign Out
    Now you should be able to use another Apple ID.

  • How can I remove the old apple id from my ipod 4rth gen to log in my new apple id ? (my old apple id keeps showing automatic I can't put my prefer new apple id)

    How can I remove the old apple id from my ipod 4rth gen to log in my new apple id ? (my old apple id keeps showing automatic I can't put my prefer new apple id)

    - Note that apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • How do I sink calendars with other users on the same computer

    How do I sink calender info with other users on the same computer?

    Hi there,
    First..I am new to this forum and find the information provided to be very helpful... I had followed the iTunes link above to enable sharing between users in the same computer but it appears to be working on partially. What setup am I looking for ?
    1. We have an iMac (Snow Leopard) with 1 Adult ID and 2 children IDs
    2. The iTunes music folder is stored in a Shared public folder where the Adult ID has read/write access and the 2 kids with read-only access (so that they don't accidently delete songs...:-)
    3. The iTunes on the Adult ID has the access to purchase songs. The kids have no acccess to buy songs
    4. All songs, podcasts to be visible to all users
    What has happened ?
    1. I am able to make the base of songs visible to all users
    2. However when a song is purchased by the adult account ..it is not visible to the kids account ..:-{
    3. The same thing occurs when a song is imported from a CD
    4. When a new playlist is created by the Adult account it is not visible to the kids account ..:-(
    How can I make changes made by the Adult be made visible to the kids without having the need to constant add music files or libraries for each kid..?
    Thanks in advance..

  • How do I remove a secondary apple id from my Mac? I am being prompted for a apple id password for a former user; I do not have the information.  Prevents updates from App Store.

    How do I remove a secondary Apple ID that is not in use from my MacBook pro? The ID does not belong to me and when I attempt to download updates from App Store with my Apple ID, I am prompted for the password of the secondary Apple ID.

    Is this a second hand Mac? If so, you need to erase the Mac and install the version of OS X that shipped installed on the Mac from the factory. Then you set the Mac up as new with your Apple ID.
    User Linc Davis explains how a new owner can prepare a 2nd hand Mac for their own use.

  • How do I remove damaged or incomplete files from computer?

    I have had difficulty removing about a dozen files from my computer. I have tried all resources that I possess including using the original installation  procedure for Maverick (as described) to no avail. I've tried renaming, seeing if they are locked (they aren't) unlocking the bottom lock in the "Get Info" window, and still no luck. All files contain no bytes of information and some possess a "do Not Open" symbol (a shaded circle with a line through it) I get a message that says it can't be deleted because it is damaged or possibly incomplete files. Some are listed as tmp. files, "Image Capture," "1 Password, and "remove.rtf." I was able to rename them, ie. a single letter "u" but still no luck. Running ther latest Maverick on a MacBook Pro. Any help would be appreciated. A minor problem to be sure, nevertheless. . . . .

  • How do I remove the previous owners name from computer

    Hi all.
    This is my first post on this forum and my 3rd day in my new (second hand) eMac life. I hope I do not get things wrong.
    I was given this eMac, OS X Leopard by a friend who updated to a new Mac and as such there is a lot of references to his name on the computer. We removed as much as we could where his name appeared but there some place we could not.
    In particular his name appears under the headings, "Devices": and "Places". Try as I may, when I find the window where changes can be made and I change it, I get an eror message saying words to the effect, "Joe Blow's name can not be removed from the computer as his name is require by the computer", it then defaults back to his name.
    In my Windows PC I can change these details but here, I can not seem to be able to do it.
    Is this possible and if so, would you please be able to talk me through it remembering that I have been a Windows person for the past 8 years.
    Regards

  • Can I share my iPhoto library with other users accounts on my computer?

    My wife and I both have our own user account on the computer. Right now all the photos are on my account. If we put the iPhoto library in users/shared will this allow us both to access the photos?
    Thanks.

    Yes, this is exactly how I use iPhoto on my system.
    You do need to update the permissions on the iPhoto directory after it's moved to the Shared folder. the default permissions will only permit your account to fully access the files, your wife's account will get errors or not see thumbnails correctly when accessing the pictures from iPhoto in her account.
    After moving the iPhoto Library into Shared (and with iPhoto closed), Get Info on the iPhoto Library folder and change the Others access to Read+Write. Let it apply to all enclosed folders, also. Then hold down the Option key while starting iPhoto and choose the Shared version of the folder as your Library. Repeat the iPhoto launch w/option key on the other account as well and each user will access the same set of pictures, albums, keywords, etc. Just make sure you don't open iPhoto from both accounts at the same time. Close iPhoto before walking away from the computer or letting the other person logon.

  • Removing Co-Workers apple id from iCloud

    My iPhone 5 broke the other day so I bought a 64 GB iPhone 5s (Software version 8.1) from a co-worker before he moved, but his apple id is still connected to iCloud. I live overseas so I can't contact him and I need the issue resolved as soon as possible. how do I remove his apple id from iCloud without the password so that I can use mine?

    You have to contact him and only he can remove the Activation Lock (switch Find My iPhone off to de-activate).
    He should have done what written below:
    Do I need to turn off Find My iPhone before giving away my device?
    Yes. Before giving your device to someone else, always turn off Find My iPhone to ensure that the other person will be able to activate and use the device normally. The best way to do this is to erase all content and settings from your device before handing it over. This will completely erase your device, turn off Find My iPhone, and remove the device from your iCloud account. On your iOS device, go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
    For more information, read what to do before selling or giving away your device.
