    Hey tyjox,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you need to deactivate Find My iPhone on a device that does not work. You will need to work with the family member of the account the iPhone is registered with. I would recommend that you use this article to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
    iCloud: Remove your device from Find My iPhone
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2702
    Remove an iOS device you no longer have
    If you no longer have the iOS device because you gave it away or sold it, you need to remotely erase it before you can remove it.
    Sign in to icloud.com/#find with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
    Click All Devices, then select the device.
    Click Erase [device], then enter your Apple ID password. Because the device isn’t lost, don’t enter a phone number or message.If the device is offline, the remote erase begins the next time it’s online. You’ll receive an email when the device is erased.
    When the device is erased, click Remove from Account.All your content is erased and someone else can now activate the device.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,

  • How do I associate a device with my Apple ID?

    I have an iPad and an iPhone.  I sync them with my iMac desktop computer, and never with any other.  I always use the same Apple ID.  As far as I know, it's the only one I have.
    Recently, I purchased an app using my iPad.  The next time I synced the iPad with the computer, I got an alert saying "The purchased item 'App' on the iPad
    'Etchemendy's iPad' could not be transferred to your iTunes library because you are not authorized for it on this computer."  The alert goes on, in fine print, to say, "To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose Store > Authorize This Computer."
    So I choose Store > Authorize This Computer, and I get a second alert saying, "This computer is already authorized."  A nifty little continuous loop that neatly precludes me from using the app on any device except the one I used to purchase it.
    But it gets better.  In stumbling around trying to figure out what's going on here, I accessed "My Account" using iTunes on my desktop computer (logging in with the same Apple ID I used to purchse the troublesome app).  When I click "Manage Devices," I arrive at a box that says, "These computers and devices are associated with your Apple ID for Automatic Downloads or to download previously purchased music, apps, and books..."  It then gives me a "list" showing just one device -- my iPhone.  The iPad is not shown here.  Neither is the desktop computer iTunes just told me is already authorized.  There's a button that says "Remove" next to the iPhone.  And two bigger buttons.  One says "Cancel" and the other says "Done."  There is no "add a device" option.
    So how to I associate a device with my Apple ID?  And, as a matter of fact, why aren't all the devices I registered using my Apple ID already associated with it?  I never had any of these problems till the big iOS system upgrade a few months ago.  Since which, my interactions with Apple have nearly all been nightmarish.  Apple obviously put the WAY wrong guy in charge of iOS development.
    Oh.  And BTW, when I look at the drop-down menu for choosing the "product" I'm having a problem with, only about half the devices registered with my Apple ID appear there.  And I have no clue what kind of iPad I currently have.  I have the warranty right in front of me, and all it says is "iPad WiFi 64GB Black." No doubt if I try to solve this using Apple phone support, I'll have to pay $20 to straighten out Apple's problem for them.  Which is why I'm here.

    My guess is you're using a long Apple ID and just omitted or mistyped a letter sometime, or something similar.
    Anyway, the way to recover is this:
    You cannot change ownership of the mistyped Apple ID to the correct one.  After all, the mistyped one purchased it.  However, you can authorize purchases from the mistyped Apple ID on your devices by doing Store > Authorize This Computer on iTunes on your computer, and enter the mistyped Apple ID and password.  Then sync again and you'll be all set.
    When you change computer (e.g., sell your current one and buy a replacement), you'll have to repeat this process.

    I've just seen this message for the first time and it's showing on 10 devices.
    What I really love about Apple Configurator is the copious amount of context driven help offered to you.

  • How do I use my ipad with Apple TV?

    How do i use my iPad2 with Apple TV?

    If it's an ATV2 or 3, you can use AirPlay. AirPlay automatically becomes available when the two devices are on the same Wi-Fi network.
    HOWEVER! You should be aware of that AirPlay is, in some circumstances, far inferior to VGA / HDMI-cabled solutions. Please see my posts at https://discussions.apple.com/message/18697551?ac_cid=sa123456#18697551 for more info.

  • How can I lodge a complaint with Apple about quality of products?

    I am about to purchase my fifth or sixth charger for my 13' macbook... of this last year and a half!! I am so unbelievably frustrated with the quality of my charger and the fact that these have to be replaced so often for products that, in just a few months, will stop working. How can I get in touch with Apple to file a complaint of this nature? None of the numbers listed on the contact website correspond with the nature of my complaint.

    lehath9, I don't know if this is the issue you're referring to, but I, too, am terribly frustrated by the amount of money I've spent on genuine Apple chargers in the last 18-24 months. 
    I believe the quality of the chargers has declined significantly and have had to replace, several times over, the chargers that came with my 2nd generation iPad, my iPhone 4S and the latest iPod touch.  The cables/wires are breaking and fraying.  
    I thought perhaps I was being too rough on my cables somehow the first couple times that it happened, but I know that's not the case now.  For comparison, the cables that came with my first two iPod classics and my first Nano are fine. I also took an informal survey via Facebook to see if others have noticed the same issue and got about 20 affirmative responses, all of which stated the problems started with chargers sold in the last 18 months. 
    I've purchased four replacements in the last six months and the third of those 4 is now broken, exactly as the previous 2 replacements and exactly like the three before those.  The rubber/plastic casing for the wires pulls away from the non-USB part of the charger (the end that goes into your ipad/iPhone/iPod).  Once it pulls away the wires are no longer supported and they start to hang at an odd angle (no matter how careful you are plugging, unplugging and positioning the charger in the device) causing them to break and of course preventing a charge from reaching the device.

    Downgrading is not supported.
    Here are some basic troubloeshooting tips:
    - Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear.  (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
    - Relaunch the App and try again.
      - Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    - Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    - Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
    - Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    - Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    - Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.
    If you want to contact Apple directly, call 1-800-MYAPPLE (1-800-692-7753), or go to getsupport.apple.com. 
    Don't waste your time asking for a downgrade of the iOS.  That's not an option.

  • How can I open items made with apple works

    How can I open items made with apple works

    You need to purchase Pages for your iMac. You can buy it from the App Store.
    I don't know if the version of Pages for the iPad will open the Apple Works documents. If you have the documents on your Mac and want to open them on your iPad the easiest way I can think of is to open a DropBox (Google it) account and store the documents there. Then you can try to open the documents in Pages on your iPad. If that doesn't work then I know Pages for OS X will open the Apple Works WP documents.

  • Hi, How do I communicate CANopen device with anyother CAN device? What things needs to be made compatible with 2 CAN devices to communicate?

    Hi,
    I have to communicate CANopen device with other CAN device which uses GMLAN. 
    So in general, How do I communicate CANopen device with anyother CAN device?
    What things needs to be made compatible with 2 CAN devices (i.e, one is CANopen and anyother CAN device) to communicate?
    Please reply.
    Thanks,
    Najmu

    Hello,
    The two devices need to be connected with a CAN cable and while carrying out the communication, one device should be the master and the other should be the slave. Also you should maintain the same protocol (Baud rate, Arbitration ID etc.) at the two devices. 
    Regards
