How to disconnect apple id from one user on macbook I set up a second user on my MacBook Air laptop and accidentally used the same Apple ID as I had used for the original user on the laptop. Is there any way to disconnect that second user from my Apple ID without messing up things for the other, original user account? What I would really like to do is to have the second user not be connected to any Apple ID. That user will just be used for connecting to the internet. No need for messages, mail, etc. Thanks.

I don't want to use apple ID on mac how can I do that without getting nagged by Apple. Mac is constantly nagging me to log in with an apple id. I don't want to share any data with apple. I don't trust apple and I don't want to share any data with apple. How can I stop the mac from asking me to log in every ten minutes? (PS: I am not asking for a philosophical discussion. Off-topic privacy tips are very welcome.)

No, it wasn't a trick question. I've never tried to do that before.

Thank you
