Hello,
I have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) that I want to remove from my AppleID and gift it to my daughter who has her own AppleID. I did all of the steps that I found in the community but can’t seem to figure out how to remove my AppleID so we can put in my daughters. Please help.
Thank you,
Lisa
