Used macbook keeps showing old users iTunes account

HELP……I am so sick of this crap……I purchased a used Macbook from a local computer shop that takes them in on trades. Well, I get home and the thing is great. I love it except for one **** thing. I CANNOT get the old users account to stop showing up under the app store. The old account keeps telling me that two of my apps need updating, which I cannot get the old persons account logged off because I do not know their password. The username mkp0818 is what keeps popping up and therefore I always have a two over my app store icon, because it shows that those two apps that the other party owned needs updating and of course I need help…..Hurry...

You need to erase the hard drive and install OS X either from the installer discs that came with the computer or from an Internet Recovery, whichever is supported by the computer. If it's a 2012 or late model you use Internet Recovery. If before 2012 you will need the installer discs that came with the computer when it was new.

I just synced my iPhone 3GS and lost songs..they don't show in my itunes account either and I downloaded them from ITunes to the Phone

I have a 16 GB 3GS ATT iPhone and just finished syncing and updating software to 4.3.5, BUT songs that I had on my iPhone do not show in to my iTunes account
AND have disappeared on my iPhone.
Where are they and how do I get them back????
I think I can use restore, but if you buy a song on your iPhone...shouldn't it automatically show in your iTunes account????

Hi all - any idea how to download songs from an old AOL iTunes account - have updated to Apple ID which is fine for new songs but didn't realise this wouldn't include the old songs. Have a 1st gen ipod with the original purchases on if that helps

....... is there a way for me to get my old music library (which was controlled by my dad's apple ID) onto my new mac, but from that point on, start using my own apple ID for purchases?........
Yes, once the content is in iTunes on your computer, just click it to play and authorise your computer to play it by entering your Dad's ID and password.
Log into your own account and start purchasing your own content which will then be added to the existing content.

Permanently remove TV shows on my iTunes account?

I want to remove a few TV shows from my iTunes account permanently. I don't want them stored in iCloud. Does anyone know how to do this? Your help is appreciated.

Hello Lucy06,
It sounds like you are wanting to remove some previous purchases from your account. You can Hide the purchases in your Account Settings so you dont see them anymore with the following article:
iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4919
If you just want it removed altogether, I would reach out to our iTunes Support team with this article, directly:
How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchas

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

I am trying to update my apps, but an old, deactivated iTunes account comes up. My iCloud is set to my new account. Why is this happening?

I am trying to update my apps, but an old, deactivated iTunes account comes up. My iCloud is set to my new account. Why is this happening?

Because all apps are FOREVER tied to the Apple ID used to obtain them, & they can only be updated using that ID.

How do i use 2 ipod touches with 1 itunes account?

how do i use 2 ipod touches with 1 itunes account? can they share apps and music etc. I'm not very good at any tech so advise would be much appreciated.

Yes. You can sync an unlimited number of iDvies that you control to one iTunes library/account. If using the same iTunes library on the same comutr just make sure that yu go to the ap. music and other pane for the iPod in iTunes and select sycn selected items. Not the the whole library. That way each iPod can have it own contents.

Can I use 1 computer with 2 different iTunes accounts and devices? We're afraid we're going to wipeout one library or the other if we do??

My son got an iPhone and wanted his own iTunes account. Now his computer died, and he wants to connect to his iTunes account on my computer. When it asks to sync the computer, a message comes up and we're afraid either his or my library are going to be wiped out by trying to do this. Is it possible to use 1 computer with 2 different iTunes accounts and devices without wiping out one of the libraries? Thanks for any info.

If the content was not originally purchased/synced to the device from your computer it will erase and replace the content from the device with that of the computer. If you have content that you want to backup you can transfer purchases http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848 check this link out
