Removing an itunes account to add a new one

I was given a computer which already had an itunes account on it. How do I delete this account so that I can add my own account.

Erase its internal drive and install a fresh OS; while this isn't necessary to set up your iTunes Store account, it's useful in other ways.

  • Ive changed my apple id. in my iPad and iPhone under iTunes it's showing the new id but under iCloud still shows old I'd. I have been told to delete account and add in new one but worried in case lose all my stuff that's already saved in iCloud. any idea?

    If all you did was rename your ID, you can go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with your renamed ID.  Deleting the account only deletes the account and any data you are syncing with iCloud from your phone, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
    If, however, you are changing to a new account with a new ID, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted.  Then choose Merge when you sign into the new account and turn your iCloud syncing back on to upload your data to the new account.
    Before deleting the account, save you photo stream photos to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).

    Hi Jacob...
    A $1.00 credit or an authorization hold ...
    The $1.00 charge is just an "authorization hold" > iTunes Store & Mac App Store: About credit-card authorization holds that will be credited back to your account usually within 24 to 48 hours.
    is their a way i can merge both my balances to buy the new angry birds game!??
    If it's a $1 credit from a redeemed iTunes gift card, sorry, but Apple's policy states that Apple ID accounts cannot be merged > Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID

    Connect your new phone to your computer using the USB cable and it should appear in iTunes. If it doesn't you will need to troubleshoot. Then see: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109

  • How can I delete my itunes account and create a new one ?

    Hi Everyone
    I've got a problem with my current account itunes (french) :
    I'm between France and Spain. I usaully use french applications but I would like to be able to pick some apps in the spanish itunes store, and in the english one (such as i already do in the french one). Lately I change my payment data to my spanish visa card data, since then I cannot download any app anymore.
    So I tried to create a new account in the itunes store choosing the spanish location, but it s not possible since my actual email adress is the back up email adress of my french account .
    Can you please provide me some support ?
    A good day to you all.
    Audrey

    You can access www.appleid.apple.com and open your old account and delete.

  • How can I replace a previous icloud account and add a new one on iphone 4S?

    I am using my wife's old iphone 4s and I want to set up my own icloud account and remove hers from the phone without cancelling her access to her icloud account.

    Hello topbleep,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you’re wife’s iCloud account is signed in on the phone you are using and you would like it to have your account. You can sign out of her iCloud account on the iPhone and sign in to your account. This will not cancel her iCloud account. To sign out of an iCloud account on an iPhone, please follow the instructions located in the attached article. 
    iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
    On your iOS device: Go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Sign Out (Delete Account in iOS 7 and earlier).
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • Couldnt get into my old itunes account so started a new one but am curious if i am going to lose all my stuff if i sync / back it up

    what do i do ?

    I would recommend you use a program called senuti that allows you to copy your songs over to a new computer from an iPod. Unfortunatlly you have to pay for the full version but it allows you to have 1000 free song capacity of copying over and a movie counts as the capacity of 1 song.

  • How can I remove an iTunes account from a computer I'm giving away?

    How do I remove my iTunes account from a computer that I am giving to a student in my school? I want the music I purchased to play, but I don't want the student to have access to my email address or my credit card that is tied to "my account". I went through the steps to deauthorize a computer but encountered two problems:  1) The only command offered was "deauthorize all". There was no list of the authorized computers where I could check a box to select the one to deauthorize.  2) If I want to leave the music with the computer, but remove the authorization.

    If you are giving the computer away you should not include music you've purchased: the purchase doesn't include the right to make copies to give to other people, which is what you would in effect be doing. The same applies to any purchased sofrtware which wasn't bundled with the computer when new.
    The proper procedure when selling or giving a computer is to erase it completely and restore it to its out-of-the-box condition from the original disks. You should also make sure to include the disks which came with the computer.

    Hello! scottocs
    Me to have the exact same problem, I can not solve the problem.
    To solve the problem:
    1. Download the twitter app from the App Store,
    2. Right click (control click) the app and click show package contents,
    3. Open contents,
    4. Copy the folder that says '_MASReceipt'
    5. Paste that folder in the same location in the app you downloaded off of the Internet, replacing the original one,
    6. You might need to restart the App Store or your computer for the change to take affect,
    Please tell me how to remove this iTunes account?

  • Can i delete my itunes store account and create a new one?

    i have an itunes account open already but its old and full of old downloads and songs which are not relevant to me anymore. id like to delete my account and open a new one, is this possible? if not, how could i make a new account with the same email as my old account?
    any help is much appreciated, thank you.

    Then just delete the music from your iTunes library that you no longer want.
    There is no reason to create a new iTunes account to purchase new music. This will not delete the old music in your iTunes library.
