Transferring a Mac to a New Apple ID:

What happens when you try?


Is this a Previously-Owned Device?

If so, disassociate this from an account. This is probably associated to a different Apple ID. Have the original user disassociate it from their account.  Go Here: What to do Before you Sell, Give Away, or Trade in your Mac - Apple Support. The seller should have known better.


You Likely have to Wait Up to 90 days:

  1. Go Here: See and Remove your Devices that Are Associated with Apple ID Purchases - Apple Support
  2. Scroll to: Use a Mac or PC to see or remove your associated devices
  3. As it Reads: "you might need to wait up to 90 days to associate the device with a different Apple ID."

Getting your Husbands Apple ID Off of the Mac:



Log Out of Apple ID:

Your husband needs to remove this from his Apple ID. Making yourself the administrator in the Mac itself plays no role in assigning this to your Apple ID. So, have him perform as instructed here, including the Time Machine Backup creation first (should he desire to do so) What to do Before you Sell, Give Away, or Trade in your Mac - Apple Support.
