I no longer have my iPhone 4s so how can i turn off i-messages for my number?
Hey there fwhitson,
It sounds like you no longer have your phone but need to unlink your phone number from the iMessages service. According to this article, this is what you do:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage

Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

HT1807 I have an iPhone 3s. How do I turn OFF data roaming?
I am traveling in Mexico. I have an iPhone 3s. How do I turn OFF data roaming? Under SETTINGS I don't see Network. I don'r see it under SETTINGS/General either.
What you should do, if you don't want any nasty surprises, is put your phone in Airplane mode. That turns off all iPhone radios, but you can go back into settings & turn WiFi back on.
Do not rely on the data roaming setting to protect you. -
I have a new iphone 5c. How can I turn off the passcode. Unlike previous models it does not show Passcode under settings - general !! Can anyone help? Susie
Thank you Chris. Yes I did know that but it was not clear how to turn it off. All the forums visited said it was under general. I have since found a site called iAnswerGuy which describes how to turn it off step by step. Thank you very much for coming back to me so quickly. Susie

If iphone is disabled, how can I turn off "find my iphone" in order to reset the phone
If the iphone is disabled, how can I turn off "find my iphone" in order to reset it?
Go to any other device with internet access and log on to icloud.com using the Apple ID that is active on your device. Select "Find My iPhone > Devices" and select the option to erase the device.

I have an iPhone 5S and I can't turn off the hotspot.
I have an iPhone 5S with IOS 8.1.1 and I can't turn off the hotspot. The button says it is off but it still shows up in the available wifi list on my other devices. I tried turning it to on and back off. I tried resetting it. Any ideas??
I believe that's because your other devices remember your Hotspot for quick future use. Just tap on the blue circled 'i' next to your Hotspot name in the other device and tap 'Forget This Network'. This should solve it.

Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address. My other devices all have the correct address. How can I get the correct address for my iPhone? The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.
To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (if you're using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Apple suggest a removal and re-install of iTunes to get over the 1601 / 1602 error message.
Other sites suggest trying a different USB socket… direct to the PC / Mac not a hub.

I restored my iPhone 5 to a back up on my brothers iMac ..now I have access to the phone but can't turn off the find my phone with the owner of the account I backed my phone to .. What can I do to solve this issue??
You sould be able to sync both ways. Check your default calendar on your phone by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>scroll down to the calendars section to Default Calendar. Check to be sure you have selected your mac calendar as your default (and not, for example, On My iPhone). Then enter a new event on your phone and sync to confirm that it appears on your mac.

I have an iPhone 4, the flash will not turn off. What can i do? Flash is already off on camera and i deleted the flashligth app.
Try Hard Reset -> Hold down these two buttons at the same time [Sleep/Wake & Home] the moment you see the Apple Logo 'release those buttons' allow device to reset
If still no resolution -
Restore
[back up information either via iTunes or iCloud if no recent one has been done]
Erase All Content an Settings - FIRST Set up As New - Test Camera Flash
Works? Great! - restore back up
[NOTE - if the flash does not respond again after restoring back up then sorry will have to Erase All Content and Settings Again and then the best part 'Set up As New and manually enter data/information']
If the first time done and after setting up as new and still not resolved - then Id suggest call AppleCare Support or set an appointment up with an Apple Retail Store
Best of luck -
i have an iphone 4 and and it suddenly turns off i stilled had 70 percent to so i went home plugged it into the charger and let it sit there for about 30 mins still nothing then i put tried putting it in dfu mode but nothing please help
Connect iPhone to Wall Charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, this can take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. If nothing, this means your iPhone has a hardware fault, most likely and hopefully battery.

Have an iphone 4 all of a sudden turned off and wont turn on, tried holding buttons, connecting it to pc to restore it, is there any other way i have pretty much tried everything, what do I do
Hi Sian.riches,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know it can be both concerning and frustrating if your iPhone will not turn on as expected. I also know your have done some great troubleshooting already. I would suggest reading over the attached article and trying the troubleshooting steps provided to ensure everything has been done.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Have a great day,
Joe -
How can I turn off imessage for just one of my contacts? Me and my husband just upgraded (both had iphone 4), I got the iphone 5s and he got he note 3. All my text to him automatically send as a imessage. Ive tried to delete his contact and then went back in and reentered it but that doesnt work.
Have your husband text the word "stop" to 48369. This should take his number out of the iMessage system.
Go into your settings under messaging and make sure the box to send as an SMS if iMessage is unavailable is checked.
Hopefully this will get your messages sending/receiving to each other. -
My elderly mother has EXTREMELY limited vision and is a technophobe. I am considering an iPhone with Siri. Can I turn off everything else so she can use only the phone app and voice dialing or Siri and not accidentally open any other app and screw something up.
I'm asking, in all seriousness, why do you think your mother needs an iPhone? Honestly, if your mother is, as you described her, a technophobe, I would recommend against getting an iPhone or any other smartphone. I've spent a fair bit of time teaching older folks to use smartphones. If they are interested in learning, it's fine. If they have the phone because their kids or grandkids thought it was a good idea but they are afraid of the phone or not interested in its features, it doesn't go well at all.
Many basic phones have voice dialing. Obviously, it doesn't do all the things Siri does but it may be much less intimidating for your mom. Also, basic phones have hardware keys. Even someone with limited vision can learn the keyboard on such a phone. From the sound of your first post, all she will be doing is making phone calls.
Best of luck.
