Removing my itunes account from a laptop

I have an iBook 12in which, now that I have upgraded to a new Macbook, I wish to sell. However, how do I remove all of my itunes account details, etc. so that anyone who buys my old Mac won't have access to my account details (I know you still need to know the password, etc. but am not comfortable with this).
I am happy to leave the software on there but want to make sure all personal stuff (photos, documents, etc) are securely removed so I can pass the Mac on to someone new!
Also, when I do software updates I have to put in my password - how do I remove this?
Cheers,
Andy

I don't think that was what they were asking for. The greyed out songs have nothign to do with missing media. I do have a match account and all my greyed music shows a cloud icon as if I can download them, yet they are greyed and not touchable. Yet I can select and choose delete and it asks if I want to delete the music in the cloud.

  • 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.

  • Remove Existing iTunes Account from New iPod

    Hi,
    We have a new iPod Touch for my daughter. I am hoping to be able to set up an account for her without use of a credit card, and thanks to previous posters who have all pointed to the appropriate Apple Support page to do this.
    However, when we were setting up the new iPod, we did put in the existing account for which the nominated credit card had expired. Now whenever we try to upload free Apps, we are being requested to provide updated credit card details which I don't want to do via the iPod.
    Is there a way to delete the existing account from the new iPod and add the new "free" account (or at least add this new account)?
    Many thanks.

    May be the festive spirit that has been playing havoc with my eyes, but I can't seem to find anything in the instructions from the link above that tells me how to delete an account from the iPod, only via the iTunes store.
    The problem is that I need to remove the previously added account on the iPod to try and replace with a new "free Apps" account.
    Would I need to delete the account on iTunes first and set up a new "free Apps" account which would then force the iPod to seek a new login/account?
    Many thanks.

  • How do I remove an itunes account from itunes?

    I have a computer that was once used by my son to sync his iphone, and to buy heaps of songs.
    He has moved on, no longer uses this computer and syncs his iphone with his own computer now.
    My wife now uses the said computer to sync her iphone/ipads (she has several for school), but is unable to remove all traces of our son's account, in fact his account info has even spread to one of the ipads! Like a virus!
    How  do I remove all trace of this old, no longer used account? And for that matter remove all the bad music that is taking up space on the HDD?

    Hi Restore iphone back to Factory Settings the iphone than you have problems with use the same Apple id & password then you will get all the Apps & Data back. But before you do this go to itunes on iphone bottom of page Sign out of itunes then Sign back in with the correct Apple id if you still have problems do the Restore. Cheers brian

  • How do I remove an itunes account from an i5

  • Remove Ex_Employee ITunes account from IPad

    We have IPads that we hand out for business use. When an employee leaves, how can we reset his IPad back to factory specs, so it no longer associates itself to that account?

    Settings, general, erase all content and settings.
    Now with iOS7 you need the person's apple ID to do that, and I'm not sure if there is a work around for businesses. You might try looking in the 'iPad for business' part of this forum to see if there are any options.
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipad/ipad_in_business_and_education
    Or might need to consider something such as a new policy that the person has to wipe the iPad or give you their iTunes password so you can wipe the device before they are officially an ex-employee. (they can always change their password after wiping the device)

  • I bought my friend's used laptop. She doesn't know how to get her itunes account off the laptop, so I'm not able to do anything. How do I remove her account from the laptop?

    I bought my friends Toshiba laptop. Her itunes account is on there, hooked up to a credit card. She doesn't remember her ID. I think I had it emailed to her by typing in her email address and first and last name. Now that she probably HAS her Apple ID and Password, how do we remove her account from the laptop so I can use MY itunes?

    Delete the ENTIRE iTunes folder from her user directory.
    Frankly, you should be restoring the laptop as new, either using the restore CD provided by Toshiba or by reinstalling Windows with a Windows CD to remove ALL of her personal information.
