On my iPhone, I have 3 copies of my MacBook Air. I own one MBA and always have. As you can see in the image attached, there are 3 copies of same MBA. How do I remove 2 of the copies of same MBA?

I did perform a full reset of my iPhone about a month ago, to resolve a different issue, but the reset did not remove 2 out of 3 MacBooks.

Cheers.

You will need to change your Apple ID Password. That will remove the older devices.

Duplicate device listing happens when you don't sign out of iCloud, iMessage, and FaceTime on your MacOS device, as well as your iOS devices, before reinstalling MacOS.

Thank you!!

/facepalm .. I can't believe it was so simple. Learned something new today.

Thank you again! It took 5 min to resolve the issue.


Cheers.
