Hi, old user logged out his Apple ID from work Mac Mini, he did it in iCloud on his iPhone.
Now he isn't logged in on Mac mini with his Apple ID, but Mac Mini saved his account (Apple ID) in SystemPreferences.
User doesn't see Mac Mini in his iCloud in devices.
Mac asks for a password to remove user Apple ID.
How to fully remove old Apple ID & log in with new Apple ID?
Mac mini 2018 or later
Hello Alfa256,
It sounds like a previous owner may still be logged into the Mac mini. We understand how important it is for them to be fully logged out and we are here to help.
Is the user able to enter his password to log out of the Mac mini? This article may be able to help: Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Are there any other Admin user accounts on the Mac Mini? If so, this account can be deleted using this article: Delete a user or group on Mac
Cheers!
Alfa256,
Thank you for those details. You can have him log out remotely using the steps outlined in this article: How to remove Activation Lock
Specifically the section titled "If the previous owner isn't with you."
You wouldn't be able to log him out without that users Apple ID username and password. He would have to do it remotely.
Cheers!
User can't log in on Mac mini, because he got fired from work, but he can log in icloud in his iphone with his AppleID.
I created a new local Admin account, i logged in with new AppleID, but i dont need to remove an old local Admin account, because he has some configuration in his account. An old local Admin account still has AppleID of old user.
Can i somehow remove AppleID of old user in old local Admin account settings?
Did the former owner erase the computer and set it up again? If not, you need to do that to make it 'your' computer. Start with step 6.
