How to disagree to iTunes privacy policy?
I accidentally pressed that I agree to iTunes tos when I opened the app on Mac os Sierra. The fact is I don't agree to the tos. How can I get the dialog option back? I don't plan to use iTunes.
When you open iTunes for the first time and agree to the license agreement, it creates the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist
file with a dictionary entry called license-agreements
. You can just delete the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist
file if you have no intension of using iTunes and it will be as if you never agreed to the license agreement.
In Terminal:
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist
If you just want to delete the license-agreements
use:
defaults delete com.apple.itunes license-agreements
If you want to remove the iTunes app in macOS, you should be able to just move it to the Trash and then empty the Trash. I was able to do that in macOS 10.12.3, however you might have to disable System Integrity Protection and if so, do the following:
- Shutdown your Mac.
- Start up from macOS Recovery using: Command-R
- Select your Language and press Enter.
- At macOS Utilities, select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
- In Terminal type,
csrutil disable
then press Enter. - In Terminal type,
reboot
then press Enter. -
Once back in normal mode macOS, in Terminal use the following command:
sudo rm -fr /Applications/iTunes.app
- Then press Enter, type your password, then press Enter again.
Don't forget to enable System Integrity Protection afterwards. Repeat the necessary steps, however use csrutil enable
.
