Hi Frank4sd,


It appears that your Mac is still attached to your Apple ID and you would like to remove it from your account so your son can use his Apple ID for updates. Making sure that he is able to update software and apps is important. You've come to the right place for help.


Take a look at the resource below under the section "Turn off Activation Lock before you send your Mac in for service, sell it, or give it away".
