Find my iPhone: How to turn off a Pending "Play Sound"?

So I'm at work with my iPad, and my Macbook Pro is at home.  On my iPad, I launched "Find my iPhone."  As expected, it couldn't locate the MBP because that machine is currently powered down.
So, (because I like to experiment with user interfaces) I tapped "Play Sound".  I assumed nothing would happen, since the MBP is powered down.  But now the app is displaying: "Pending: Play Sound".
I assume that this means that when my wife comes home from work and powers up the MBP, she'll be blasted with an annoying sound.  (Then she'll be startled, drop the computer, crack the screen, trip over the dog and break her leg.)
It seems unbelievable to me that I can't "revoke" this pending "Play Sound" in the meantime.  But I can't figure out how to do it.  Any suggestions?

Try removing the device from device list in Find my Mac.

  • How to turn off the touch interface sound?

    Model: HP Touchsmart IQ826t
    Finally get to use this machine the way it was intended now that Windows 8 is out, but the touch interface sound is bothersome. Seems as though it should be the easiest thing in the world to turn off.. but I cannot for the life of me figure it out. Ive searched the web high and low..even seen others ask this same question with no response whatsoever.
    How do I turn off the touch interface sound?? (the 'beep' sound made when my finger makes contact with the screen) Ive tried going to the now updated 'Pen and Touch' (previously HP Touchsmart Configurations) settings under the 'Hardware and Sound' in the Control Panel and..nothing.
    Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Well, if you are in need for it, you can call your iPhones service company. (Verizon, Sprint, TMobile, AT&T).   They might be able to track it down through the sims card. 
    Verizon (and, to the best of my knowledge, any U.S. carrier) will not provide a phone's location without a subpoena.

    So when my wife turns her volume up its says microphone how do I fix that if there is no microphone in

    Are you refering to the messages that appear when accessing secured sites? In that case the following Apple document may explain a bit more (and I believe you cannot turn off that behaviour) :

    You do not want your EDGE signal?
    Manage Connections > Mobile Network > turn off your mobile data.
    Now, try only using WiFi and data, such as using the browser. Does that work?

    i lose my iphone but i turn off icloud >> how i can use ( find my phone )   or another way or another sofware to find my iphone

    You have to have iCloud enabled and Find My iPhone set to On on your iPhone in order to find it.  If you're saying you turned this off before losing it I'm afraid you're out of luck.

  • How to turn off Find My Iphone when screen is black?

    Hi all, I have an Iphone 4s and the screen has gone black. I have tried to restore thorugh itunes but i have to turn off Find my iphone through setting on my iphone before i can - but I can't.  I have tried deleting the account through icloud.com but that hasn't worked eitheir. Can any one help? Thanks

    According to Apple support, you cannot remove the phone on the device list under "find my iphone" until you turn it off and it goes offline.  (It also says the device will go back on "find my iphone" when it goes online again, which seems to mean you can successfully remove it, but as soon as you turn it back on it will be back on the list, and thus you will not be able to restore it.)  It's a bit of a conundrum.  In my case I couldn't for some reason turn off my phone  with the home/sleep buttons - nothing happens, the phone stays on.  While on a chat with Apple support, they got my iphone offline (I was able to turn it off by pressing the sleep button and swiping where the red "turn off iphone" arrow would have appeared) and removed it from "find my phone", but when I reconnected to itunes it turned on and reappeared in the "find my phone" list.  Luckily, the screen suddenly appeared (it had done this several times yesterday, just briefly), so I was able to turn off "find my device" from the phone.  I was then able to restore.  Unfortunately, this does not answer the question of how to remove the device from "find my iphone" and keep it off while connecting with itunes to restore (unless you have my good fortune of having the screen suddently reappear).  Apple support seemed puzzled that it had reappeared on the device list under "find my iphone".  Time will tell whether the restoration fixes the blank screen issue.

  • How does turning off "Cell Network Search" affect "Find My iPhone"?

    I have turned Cell Network Search off in an effort to reduce battery drain under iOS 7.1.  Does this in any way affect Find My iPhone?
    I have Location Services on for Find My iPhone.  I turn Background App Refresh off when I'm at home and on when I'm out; I believe this doesn't affect Find My iPhone.
    I'd be interested in Apple's official description (which I wasn't able to locate) as well as any personal experiences. 
    Thanks.

    You can find out the answer yourself.
    Log into icloud.com and use the find my iphone feature and see what it says.
    BTW there is no Apple in this forum, just apple device users like you and I.

  • My iphone 5 suddently turn off, how to turn on again?

    My iphone 5 suddently turn off, I tried pressing the turn on button many times, but still cannot, how to turn on?

    Hi there dieu thuy,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
    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 LCIs and 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.
    Issue not resolved
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
