Hi Jim and Others, There actually is a way to tell Apple that you no longer consider a device to be owned by you. That's by using the MySupportProfile page and logging in with your AppleID. It's really something that everyone should be doing with their Apple devices, because it contains a record of the serial numbers and model specifications of your products, as well as support case history. In fact, I think that for the last half year or more, when you set up a new iOS device, you're forced to enter the registration information there when you start up a new product.
Apart from specific links to product-specific alerts and documentation, such as whether a firmware update might be required for an AirPort wireless unit, this provides a record of your device serial numbers an specs should your equipment ever get lost or stolen. Jim, I posted about this on the Mac-access list some months ago, but here's a Mail Archive link to a macvisionaries list post with similar information: • Re: Using your air in public http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg62538.html For those who don't want to read the post, which also describes apps like "Find my Mac" and "Find My iPhone", here's the excerpted key,line and link to the MySupportProfile page: I highly recommend that everyone register their Apple products using the MySupportProfile page: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do You can uncheck devices you no longer own. I'm not sure whether this counts under iTunes devices, but it's a useful feature that's been around for more than a decade in the U.S., and started being popularized internationally about 4 years ago, as support for many more countries was added to this site. HTH.
