- 2015 MBP retina, 2013 Mac Air, iPhone SE 1st
Let's see if I can keep this brief. In 2017 bought my wife an Apple reconditioned mid 2015 MacBook Pro 13"retina, 2.7GHz, Intel core i5, 8 GB, 251 flash running Mojave. I made myself administrator and her a user. I have never used it. Just keep it up to date. When I log in the screen looks like it the day I got it. I bought her a new unused A1662 1st Gen SE a long time ago. She wouldn't give up the flip phone. Ah it finally died. I gave her an apple I.D. and it is using one of her email accounts. So now I am teaching her iPhone.
Now I want to get off me being the admin (in name only) so I do not have to deal with logging in and out to change things. I have a 2013 Mac Air. I do not keep it signed in to iCloud. Funny thing is when someone face times my iPhone it rings the phone and her Mac Pro which is signed into my name but not my Mac Air cause I am not signed in.
So I want to change her from a "user" to "admin" and delete me. I'll still be updating and fixing glitches but I want to do this the correct way. So I go into users and groups. Now do I make her an "admin" 1st and then just delete me? But where in the process do I set up her App Store and iCloud account on that Mac Pro using the one I have for her iPhone? Maybe it's staring me in the face but there is a method to the madness and I do not want to get stuck doing this the wrong way. As many thing as I have done somehow this one seems unknown to me.
