To remove a device from your Apple account settings, you'll typically do this through the Apple Music or Apple TV app (on a Mac) or through your Apple ID account settings. Here's how:
Steps to Remove a Device (Mac):
- Open the Apple Music app or the Apple TV app on your Mac.
- From the menu bar at the top of your screen, click Account and then select Account Settings. You may be prompted to sign in with your Apple ID.
- In the Account Information section, find and click on Manage Devices or Manage Linked Devices. The exact wording may vary slightly.
- A list of devices associated with your Apple ID will be displayed. Identify the device you wish to remove.
- Click the Remove button next to the device you want to disassociate.
- Confirm your decision when prompted.
Note: If you are trying to remove an iPhone, iPad, or Mac from your trusted device list, the process is slightly different and involves removing it from your Apple ID account security settings on the device itself or another trusted device.
Alternative Method (from a trusted iPhone, iPad, or Mac):
- Open Settings (on iPhone/iPad) or System Settings/Preferences (on Mac).
- Tap/Click on your name at the top.
- Scroll down to see a list of devices associated with your Apple ID.
- Tap/Click on the device you want to remove.
- Tap/Click Remove from Account.
