So I unlocked/jailbreaked the IPHONE I sold, but how do I transfer ITUNES account?? The buyer has recived the phone already and everything is fine. But when he plugs it to ITUNES, it's still under my name. So how do I switch it over for him. He has the phone now, what can I tell him to do? Thanks.

You can't transfer apps or music (I don't think).

Sounds like after you JB and unlocked, you should have set it up as a New Phone if you were going to sell it right away.

Have you activated a new phone with old phone sim card?
 
he just needs to restore it and set it up as a new phone. right click on the phone in itunes and select restore.

The phone only has its main apps. Basically I just unlocked it and jailbroke it and that's it. It has no music or any additonal apps. That's for him to do. But I guess he connected to ITUNES and it popped up my account for him to log into. So Im asking how to transfer to where he can log on.
 
He can either restore and lose the jailbreak and unlock.
Or leave it as is for now untill the ultrasnow unlock comes out shortly.
And then he can restore to 3.0 jailbreak and unlock and sync his own library.

So if that is the case, what did I do wrong? How should have I set it up?
 
If I am understand you well...the buyer want to use his account instead of your account on itunes...if this is the case, he should click the account email in Itunes(main window) and then change your email to his own.

Basically the phone I just sent out to him, when he connects to his computer/iTunes I guess my login info is required. I will tell him to try what you said.
