How do I remove a linked device that has been sold?

I sold my desktop and laptop but forgot to remove them from my synced iCloud devices.
I did tell the new owners to set up iCloud which would have removed them from my account but they never did it.
I've even sent them a message via "find my devices".
I can see them on "find my devices" and I can see changes being made in my bookmarks on my existing computers.
For now I have unlinked my current computers to the cloud. I'd like to start using the syncing functions of iCloud again but first I need to remove the two computers I sold.
Is there a way such as in iTunes where you can deauthorize all devices and start from scratch?
Would simply changing my password work? I'd rather keep my password but if I have to change it I will.
(if there is a better forum for this question, please let me know)

Would I still be able to see them on "find my devices" if I change my password?
You might, some mac hardware will continue to transmit its location even after they have been wiped, the only way to remove the device from your find my phone in such circumstances is for the device to be logged into another iCloud account and enable find my phone under that account.

  • How to remove a device that has been sold from iCloud Drive

    I sold my iPhone 5, yet it still appears in iCloud Drive. Have been unable to find a way to delete using iTune, MBPR or iPhone 6 Plus.

    If you mean that it still appears on the list of devices on iCloud.com when you click on your name and choose iCloud Preferences, you can't remove it yourself.  Another poster said that Apple support told him that it is supposed to be automatically removed when the new owner uses it to sign into a different iCloud account.

    You will need to use Find My iPhone in iCloud.com in order to erase your device and unlock it so that you can use it again. See the very end of the article.
    This is copied from the article.
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.

  • Is there a way to re-add a bluetooth device that has been forgotten?

    Is there a way to re-add a bluetooth device that has been "forgotten"?  My iPhone does not look for my car radio and I have been unable to get it added to to the devices list.

    You have to put both devices back into discovery mode for pairing. Check the vehicle and see if you can remove the iPhone from the vehicle first. Then turn on Bluetooth on the phone. Once you see the spinning wheel, you know it is ready to be discovered. Check the vehicle manual and put the vehicle into discovery/pairing mode. You should be able to reconnect from there.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police. The plocie will dolittle except if they recover it they can return it to you.
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • FCPX, How do I reconnect a video file that has been modified or over written?

    FCPX, How do I reconnect a video file that has been modified or over written?
    As an animator, I am constantly modifying and overwriting movies files that have already been imported into the Final Cut time line. In FCP7, I could easily modify and update movie files and have those changes appear in the timeline without the need to reimport and re-edit those clips, but FCPX seems to lose it's connection with any modified or overwritten file, making all the editing work I've done to these files worthless.
    Does anyone know of a way to reconnect to a modified or overwritten file? Because, this one single issue makes FCPX completely worthless to me.

  • How can I remove a tablet device that isn't there?

    In one of our test environments we've got an Xserve running OSX 10.5.6, inside is running Server 10.5 in VMWare Fusion.
    Now, the VM thinks it has a tablet device installed, as is evidenced by the ink tab showing up in system preferences (the host does not have the ink option there). Obviously there is no tablet device installed. The VM was set up by one of our IT guys who has already reinstalled it, noting no options during setup about a tablet device.
    This problem is causing one piece of software to not work in the VM, or at least, the UI doesn't. There are thousands of console messages reading "QCocoaView handleTabletEvent: This tablet device is unknown (received no proximity event for it). Discarding event"
    Question is, how can I remove the tablet device so that this software will start working? I've checked all through VMWare Fusion's options/preferences & couldn't find anything there and Googling has turned up nothing so far.

    Actually, that is for devices that have been set to automatically download or you have used to redownload previously purchased items.
    They will show until you delete them.
