How do i desync purchased albums?

I gave my old Ipod away to a friend, and it still had my Apple ID on it, so that friend downloaded an album that I absolutely hate...

For some reason, I can't desync it on my Itunes Mac, all I can do is a playlist, but i don't really like the effort that comes with it...


Is there a way to simply desync that one album on my Itunes and leave it on his?



Thanks!!!!

Hi biaancaa,


I'm sorry to hear you are having this issue with iTunes. If your friend accidentally purchased an album under your Apple ID/iTunes Store account and you are now seeing it in iTunes on your Mac, the first thing you would need to do would be to have them remove the account information from their (previously your) iPod. The most complete way to do so would be as outlined in the following article:

Once that has been removed and your friend is using their own account, you should be able to delete the album locally and hide the purchase without any effect on them (though they would obviously need to repurchase it under their own account). You may find these articles helpful as well:
