Hello everyone... I'm a fairly new Mac user...

To make a long story short, I was debating between the iMac and the MacBook Pro (my wife wanted one too). I went with the iMac, but after about 2 weeks I decided I really wanted a laptop.

Since my wife wanted a Mac also, and wanted the iMac, I gave it to her and bought a MB Pro. I love my MB and have everything is set up properly. I've had it for about 3 months.

The problem is, my wife still has lingering issues with me setting up the iMac originally under my Apple ID and then trying to re-set it up under hers. My purchased music shows up, my ibooks (from my iPad), my apps, etc.

Today we both upgraded to Mountain Lion, but she can't update Apple Apps (such as iPhoto and iMovie) because they say they were purchased under another Apple ID (mine). Both of those apps were actually free with the iMac.

Everywhere I look it seems to indicate she is the account owner. Her Apple ID, her name, etc. Does anyone have any advice on how she can get rid of my information?

Why not share your Apple ID for apps and such? Otherwise you'll be paying twice for when you both want the same apps.

Thanks for the reply. I can appreciate the logic, but this syncs everything... safari bookmarks and even my documents in iPages and such now that we have Mountain Lion. I think at this point she's just looking to take over her own Mac and I wondered if anyone had any ideas...

Open iCloud in System Prefs and turn off the stuff you don't want to share.
