Howdy !
I have an older brother who has been retired for over a year , who is more eccentric than catweazle and more to the point is hard work.
Until a few years ago, he has never used a computer or smartphone
A few years ago, he decided he wanted an iPad . He had an android phone at the time , and I managed to show him how to use an iPad and iPhone and he then got both . Great . One system , total compatibility etc.
I have always had an Apple computer in one form or another since 2000. My brother hasn't got one ,as at the time refused to pay for broadband and at the time didn't really need a computer .
He worked nights as a decorator ,and it would have been too overwhelming for him and too draining for me .
As he doesn't have a computer , he had to use my Apple user ID for a lot of things . He could use his gmail user ID for the free things .
This meant that I have / had his apple products on my computer .
I haven't seen my brother for approx 20months .
He eventually managed to send me an email advising me that he got a Samsung phone because he couldn't get my Apple user ID off of his iPhone and iPad . I have deleted his name from my user ID and also family sharing . He won't accept this . He still thinks I haven't done enough to erase his identity. I have ideas not involving a computer :rotfl:.
Any ideas ?
Thanks
