Can't Remove Old Device in iOS7 'Find My Friends'

Since upgrading my phone (to a 5S), I've discovered that 'Find My Friends' didn't automatically delete the old device (sold back to Apple) from its list. And the swipe-to-remove trick isn't working: all swiping the name of the old device does is select the old device. Is anyone else experiencing this? Am I doing something wrong?

Slide to the left like deleting an email message (per here)

  • How can I remove old devices from my iTunes-Mediathek?

    How can I remove old devices from my iTunes-Mediathek?

    That's a very general question, so here are two documents from Apple for using automatic syncing and manually managing content.
    Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
    Manage content manually on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod - Apple Support
    If your question is actually about removing content (you know how to add content), you are probably using the manual method to add content, and don't know how to manually remove content.  For iTunes 12, on the horizontal bar that goes across the iTunes window (near the top), click the Music button near the left end.  Near the middle of same bar, click Playlists.  The sidebar appears along left side of window and Devices, your iPod is listed.  Click the small triangle to the left of the iPod's name, to drop down its content list (indented below iPod).  Click Music there.  To the right, the list of songs on the iPod is shown.  Select the song you want to remove and press Delete on the keyboard.  You can do this with one or more songs selected.
    You can also use the iPod's "management" screen.  Select the iPod in iTunes, so that you see its Summary settings screen.  In the sidebar, under On My Device, click Music.  This is the same as on the "content list" described above.

  • Can't remove old devices from icloud

    3 devices that I have sold are still showing up in my Icloud -> Settings -> My Devices, and doesn't give me the option to remove them.  How can I remove them?

    I'd wait a while.  A number of people have complained about this and I suspect Apple will find a way to remove them (such as by removing them automatically after a certain period of inactivity).
    You can help influence this by providing your feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html.

  • HT1386 I my Iphone is no longer synced to my computer. Is there a way to find out if it is synced? Can I removed a device that says my Iphone and sync it again to be sure?

    My grandson syned his Iphone to my itunes with my cell phone name "janies Iphone" I think I disconnected the abilitity to sync my itunes but I am not sure.
    Can I remove the device that says janies iphone and reauthorize it again? Will that work to sync my phone and eliminate my grandsons phone? Should I rename my phone?

    See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Can't remove old owners iCloud acorn from my ipad tried contacting them but get no response ?

    Can't remove old owners iCloud account  from ipad tried contacting them but no response ?

    In which case, you have an iPad that you'll never be able to use.
    There is no way around the Activation Lock. It is a security feature.
    Did you not check that the device had been properly wiped and reset before buying it?
    If the previous "owner" is now suddenly being hard to find, you probably bought a stolen iPad.

  • Can't remove old email from iCloud!!

    Welcome to the Apple community Pavinee Supajilt.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
    This article provides more information about Activation Lock.

    If you enabled Find my iPhone then you should use that. If not, I'm afraid you're out of luck for finding it. 
    To manage your devices, go to Your Account in iTunes.

  • HT203756 How can I remove 'old' or 'incomplete' backups from iCloud?

    How can I remove 'old' or 'incomplete' backups from iCloud? 
    When I attempted, the iPhone 6+ message asked if I wanted to remove ALL of the backups... without giving me the option of selecting the specific one I wanted to remove.
    I had performed 'backups' of my old iPhone, but, when I tried to RESTORE to the REPLACEMENT iPhone, at least one of the iCloud backups shows 'incomplete'.  There was no 'error' on the original iPhone...when it 'failed' to complete the backup.
    Now, I would like to 'clear up' the 'storage' on the iCloud, but am unable to select specific ones. I can either keep all instances or shut off iCloud Backup which would, according to the message, remove/delete ALL of the BACKUPS.
    This shouldn't be this difficult.....

    I too wondered how you remove apps from iCloud.  Judging by the quantity of questions, comments, suggestions and replies (some rather rude) there is a clear need for Apple to make their literature a lot clearer.  The page describing what iCloud backs up refers to "app data" as an item which is backed up.  To the uniniated this might mean the app program but it seems not.  The app is "bought" via iTunes or the App Store and details of your purchase (free or otherwise) is held there separately on the server.
    It would be nice however to be able to remove the reference to junk I have downloaded and decided I don't want so that it doesn't appear on the purchased apps listing!  Apple please note this.
    It must be remembered that Apple products come pitifully supported by manuals "out of the box" on the assumption that it is so easy to use the product that no explanation is needed.  They forget that most buyers of Apple products (me included) don't know (and don't want to know) how they work, so when something is not obvious they are required to plough through Lord knows how many web pages of "knowledge base" material until they find an answer.
    All I can add is that it is worth spending time reading the multiitude of discussion threads before asking the question yet again...

  • Can't remove old episodes from iPod sine Update!

    I have a Shuffle & usually carry 3-5 episodes each of 8-10 different podcasts.  Sine installing the new iTunes for Windows, I can't remove old eps from the device, & it's a total crapshoot as to which NEW episodes the system will allow me to click on!!
    HELP!!!!!!

    There are several ways to add podcast episodes to the shuffle, so please correct my assumptions in a reply.  How you add podcasts determines how you remove them.  I can't tell how you do it from the info you provide.
    It sound like you may add podcast episodes manually (drag and drop to iPod).  If you do, and your shuffle is 3rd or 4th (current) gen, you should consider doing it using automatic syncing, by putting podcast episodes on a playlist (in your iTunes library and syncing it to the shuffle).  Update the playlist at any time, by adding new podcast episodes and removing old ones (the shuffle does not need to be connected).  Put the podcast episodes in desired order.  iTunes automatically updates the shuffle the next time it is connected (or by clicking Sync if already connected).  On the shuffle, you can listen to podcasts from that playlist, and hear episodes from different podcasts consecutively, in the desired order.
    When you remove podcast episodes manually, is this the way you do it?  Again, this is for 3rd or 4th gen shuffle.  Select the shuffle in iTunes, so that you see its "management" screen.  In the sidebar, under On My Device, click Podcasts.  To the right, the podcast episodes currently on the shuffle are shown.  Select the one(s) you want to remove an press Delete on the keyboard.

  • How can I remove a device from my iCloud/Apple ID?

    Hi,
    I merged my dad's iphone to my Apple ID a while back because he wants to buy an app and I have some credit left over so I let him used my ID on his device. Apparently, all my contacts, pictures from photo stream, and ical are now also in his device. And all his contacts, pictures, and ical are on mines. How can I remove his device from my icloud and Apple ID WITHOUT deleting anything? Like I just don't want him to get anymore of my reminders and contacts, and pictures? Because I'm afraid taht if I remove his iphone on my icloud, all the pictures/contacts/ical that he took and went to my device too will be deleted because those are some important pictures/contacts/ical?
    I tried to manually delete some of my dad's contacts that was shared on my phone, it turns out that it got deleted on his phone as well and vice versa. How can I just completely cut him off of my icloud and ID without losing any of my and his contacts/pics/etc?

  • MAP 9.1 - Can i remove a device from inventory?

    Hi to all, i use MAP 9.1 - Can i remove a device from inventory? Othewise can i re-inventory some computer?
    I have some computer that changed host name and i'd like to
    detect updates with new properties.
    Thanks

    Hi Paolo,
    Unfortunately this is not possible as MAPs database is additive and it does not re-inventory already collected devices. Your only option is to span another DB instance and rescan your environment with it to enable MAP to do a full scan once again.
    Cheers!
