Deauthorize not working iphone 4s

Trying to sell my iphone 4s. I have deauthorized it in the cloud but the person i sold it to still cannot set it up. i erased all the content on my old phone already. Suggestions?

Hey stockin02,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you sold the device and they are having trouble setting it up. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If you no longer have your iOS device
If you didn't follow the steps above before selling or giving away your iOS device:
Ask the new owner to erase all content and settings as described above.
If you're using iCloud and Find My iPhone on the device, you can erase the device remotely and remove it from your account by signing in to icloud.com/find, selecting the device, and clicking Erase. When the device has been erased, click Remove from Account. After you erase the device, you'll need to wait 24 hours before you can activate iMessage on your new device.
If you're unable to complete either of the above steps, you should change your Apple ID password. Changing your password won't remove any personal information that is cached on the device, but it will make sure that the new owner can't delete your information from iCloud.
Deregister iMessage if you're switching to a non-Apple phone. 
If you're using Apple Pay, you can also remove your credit or debit cards at iCloud.com. Just choose Settings to see which devices are using Apple Pay, then click your device and click Remove next to Apple Pay.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a good one,
Mario

  • Where can i exchange my not working iphone bought in Switzerland (on july 12, 2012.) that just turned off and not working since. In croatian store they don't want to give me replacement phone!!!!

    I have bought iphone 4s on July 12, 2012.in Zurich in offical Apple store (Glattzentrum) and after one and a half months it just turned off and not working since. I tried three charges and nothing (it detects that charger is on but it cannot be charged). So now I have a not working phone only two and something months after purchase. But the problem is that in Croatia we have two apple reseller stores and neither don't want to exchange it, although is under warranty!!!! The closest stores are 250 km from Zagreb...Of course I have contacted Apple store in Zurich but they told me to come in Switzerland or to send credit card data for receiving new iphone, the problem is I don't have credit card with 700 euro on it!!!! what to do?? who to call ??? where to get replacment device cause this is disaster???? I wanted to buy ipad but after all this I doubt to do so...I have not working Iphone payed around 700 chf or 800 usd and cannot change it in my country, is it possible for such vast organization like apple that this things can occur????? So much for customer support

    “the EU is considered one country for warranty purposes“
    Not the case at all whilst there are harmonized minimum standards governing guarantees, warrantees remain national as these vary (Add to) minimum legal protection.
    Some how you need to get your phone back to Switzerland.

  • I want to hand on my water damaged and not working iPhone are the notes that were on the handset accessible to anyone who can get the handset working again?

    I want to hand on my water damaged and not working iPhone are the notes that were on the handset accessible to anyone who can get the handset working again?

    It's possible, I suppose.   Unlikely, but possible.   Someone would have to be extremely driven to fix your broken phone specifically to look at your notes though.

    First, try to reset by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again.
    If this does not help, connect in recovery mode and restore, explained in this article: iOS: Unable to update or restore

  • Wifi not working iPhone 4s

    Wifi is not working any more on my iPhone 4S !
    Two days after updating to iOS7.1, wifi is not working any more on my 2 years old iPhone 4S.
    Searching google, iOS7.1 is a major problem for many iPhone 4S.
    Resetting network connection as recommended by Apple did not solve it, also complete new installation with iTunes did not solve it.
    Bluetooth connection to my car is also not possible, inspite of the fact, that I can swich it on in the control centre.
    Wifi can not be switched on at all !!
    Apple, what are you doing ? What is the fix ?
    Thanks for your help and best regards.
    Dirk

    Wifi is now working again !
    Is really a hardware issue ?
    Lets see, how long it lasts.
    Solution:
    My wife found this via google search, and this is not a joke.
    -Place the iPhone on a soft towel or so and keep it switched on.
    -Heat it with a hair dryer from the side with the earphone plug.
    -After a few minutes, it warns "temperature" and turns itself off.
    -Let it cool down. You then can switch it on (wifi still not working).
    -Reboot now by holding home and on buttons until the Apple logo comes back.
    Thats it !  My iPhone 4S straight away connected to my home wifi......

  • ITunes not working/iPhone iOS7 won't update

    Alright so apparently all of Apple software has decidede to crap out on me that I'm starting to regret spending money on this phone. A software update came out, iOS 7.1 so I very stupidly decided to download. I say stupidly since it seems like that's what started everything.
    Obviously, to download it you need to be over a Wi-Fi connection. My Wi-Fi connection is great; I use it for everything (Netflix, email,i tunes, you name it). Strangely it didn't work like every other time. It was just stuck on "estimating remaining time" and after 5 minutes I got a failed to download message.
    Weird, I thought, so I decided to test if the Wi-Fi was working. It was. I was able to load up any app, except for two things. iTunes and the App Store. None of those two work on my phone over Wi-Fi, I just get a "cannot connect to store" message. Why? Who knows, because apparently Apple thinks you're suppose to figure it out yourself why it can't connect instead of giving a diagnostic.
    Weird, I thought again, so I decided to just connect it to my windows laptop, download the update through iTunes and install it from there. Sure enough, when I connected my phone and I loaded up iTunes, it immediately let me know there was a new software available for download so I went on with it so I could it all over with.
    Nope.
    While being stuck on the "contacting iphone software update server" for a SEVERAL minutes, I noticed on the top the "accessing itunes store" message was also stuck. Eventually, iTunes gave me an error: "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. Make sure your connection is active and try again." Huh? I use my wi-fi every single day, it's never failed me. It's working RIGHT NOW. I can access the internet PERFECTLY. I can access any internet related apps on my phone through wi-fi as well. Heck, it's ALWAYS worked. I've bought, downloaded purchases and updates normally through this wi-fi connection ever since I bought the phone. Everything works, except itunes/app store on my phone and now as well as iTunes on my laptop.  It's just stuck on the "accessing itunes store" message and I can't even log in. Every time I enter my ID and password, nothing happens, the box disappears and when I click sign in again, it asks me again for my ID/password. It never registers it's just stuck on a loop.
    So now, I'm not too concerned about itunes/Appstore not working via wi-fi on my phone since they still work properly if I use my cellular data instead (but obviously I can't download the update since I NEED to be over wi-fi). What concerns me is iTunes being completely useless. I've tried just about everything I've read on several posts in this site, including the "netsh winsock reset" trick that apparently was very helpful to many people.
    Anyway, if anyone can help me how to fix this, I'd appreciate it. And if someone can tell me exactly why this happened would awesome as well; I need to know if I did something wrong that screwed this up so I can make sure I don't do it again.

  • MMS not working, iPhone 5 to Android phones

    Just like the title says, I cannot send MMS from my iPhone 5 to my friend's Galaxy S4. We text message fine, so SMS is working. I have MMS messaging turned on in my settings. I've tried resetting network settings. I still can't send or recieve any pictures to and from Android phones. I also tried turning WiFi off and it still wouldn't send/receive with just the data turned on. Please help! I'm out of ideas.

  • Group Message not working iPhone 6/ iOS 8

    I am not able to receive group messages after I updated to iOS 8.0.2  I just activated my iPhone 6 about 3 weeks ago (Before the Apple pay update). It was working fine until I updated the software with the Apple Pay. Initially I thought ALL the group messages are not working. After few trials I realized it was only the case when the group included both iPhone and non-iPhone users. Groups with ALL iPhone users is working fine.
    I have checked everything possible, but nothing works.
    - Turned off-on iMessages
    - Turned off-on Group messages
    - Reset Network Setting
    - Erased and Reset the Entire phone from Phone settings (Now operating on iOS8.1)- still not working
    - Called my carrier and they didn't seem to understand why I was having this problem
    I then spoke with Apple Support who ran few diagnostic tests and they didn't find anything. They suggested that I re-set the phone to brand new phone (with out iCloud back-up) via iTunes (not from phone settings) and see if that will fix this. I will try this later tonight and see if I have any luck.
    I tried telling customer service that I want to return my phone and get a new one- but they seemed to keep me away from that option.
    Has anyone else experienced this? If so, any suggestions?

  • Power button not working iphone 4s

    My iphone 4s running on 6.1.3 power button is not working has not been dropped or in water. Can someone help me fix this?

    All I could find was this
    Buttons and Switches
    Sleep/Wake button will not lock or unlock iPhone
    To lock the phone, press the Sleep/Wake button. Note: By default, if you don't touch the screen for a minute, iPhone locks automatically.
    To unlock iPhone, press the Home button or the Sleep/Wake button, then slide the slider.
    If either of the above steps don't work, try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    If the iPhone will not power off, reset it.
    Try to lock or unlock the phone.
    Not sure whether it really helps you but I mention it for what it is worth

  • HELP NEEDED Data not working IPhone 6 3GB

    Hi there, For the past few months have had extremely frustrating issues surrounding my data usage on my O2 phone. It's a long story and I'll try and keep it brief. Around Feb/March on old contract/phone ( Iphone 5s 1GB) - found that when I ran out of data and called 2202 to add more data, I would be charged but the data was never used. As soon as I hung up the phone it still wouldn't connect (which it didnt use to do before) Got a new phone and contract on upgrade - IPhone 6, 3GB - As soon as I took it home and switched it on I got a text saying my data had run out. O2 said this was because my new contract had not kicked in. Left it 24 hours and still did not work on data. TRIED EVERYTHING network settings update/changed APN/turned on and off/reset. Nothing worked. They even added 5GB of data and changed my contract for the remainder of the month which they said should kick it into gear but it did not work at all. Never used my new phone on 3G. Then my bill date came - and it miraculously worked - clearly because the data had been reset. Within two weeks it had run out (no idea how I am very good with data) and AGAIN same issue - couldn’t add moreo2 have been extremely unhelpful and saying the issue is my fault and something is draining my data. My issue is though how can it work fine for 2 weeks and then as soon as I add more within milliseconds of putting down the phone something has sucked all my data? No account issues/nothing they can see is wrong apart from my account says I have used all my data (including the 1GB I called up to add on.) Im waiting for my bill date which is the 24th to see what happens. But o2 have essentially said they cannot help me which is ridiculous. I have changed all my data settings to stop push notifications/background app refresh etc. Any ideas as to why when I run out that is it? Apologies for the long message but its been an ongoing issue and very frustrating.

    So its now my bill refresh day. I've immediatley turned off my data so that its not being used. My My O2 says I only have an allwance of 1.09GB when my tarrif says 3GB on a different MyO2 page. WHAT IS GOING ON! How can they then say this is my own fault! (I've screenshotted this) Also a quick question - If i want to get out of my contract without having to wait 8 weeks for them to reply to my complaint, is there any way I can sell the phone myself? Or do I have to hand it back? At the end of old contracts I've always sold myself rather than handing over for 100 quid because I can get more.
