I can't transfer device to my Apple ID to play content saved offline. Previous owner delete device from his Apple ID, deauthorises in Music, but I still can't transfer MacBook Pro 13" 2018 with 4 thunderbolt. Error 1001

Then there should be no transfer restriction.

You should have been able to setup the Mac from scratch as if it was just taken out of the box, and enter your Apple ID during setup.

If it's showing a restriction, then either you logged in with a different Apple ID before the current one, or the the Mac was not correctly prepared for sale as shown in the support document linked above.

You need to erase the MacBook Pro. click here ➜ What to do before you sell, give away, trade in, or recycle your Mac - Apple Support

got it. I'll try to do everything from the beginning

I did it all. Setup from scratch. Only my Apple ID. Still same error in Music. What else I can do?
