How do I take my old iphone off my icloud storage after I no longer have the phone?

I need help taking my old iphone off my icloud storage.

The only storage it could be using is an old iCloud backup, if you were backing it up to iCloud. You can remove this from another device that is sharing the account by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage>Manage Storage, tap the name of the old phone under Backups, then tap Delete Backup.

How do I take an old iPhone off my account so that someone else can use it?

I gave my old iPhone to my husband and registered it with itunes but he didn't find it easy to use and gave it to our son who did the same exercise with it. However, because it is associated with my account and my husband's, my son can't do various things he wants to and it keeps telling him to delete that it has three accounts! How can this be sorted out?

Before selling or giving away an iOS Device...
If desired, move photos/videos off the Camera Roll: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
If desired, backup the device to iTunes or iCloud: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Then, on the device...
Settings > Messages > iMessage > Off
Settings > FaceTime > Off
Settings > iCloud > (scroll down) Delete Accout (this only unregisters and deletes it off the device)
Settings > iTunes & App stores. Tap the AppleID and sign out.
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
Unregister your device at https://supportprofile.apple.com

How can I remove iPhone from iCloud when I no longer have the phone?

I switched to a Samsung S4 from my old iPhone 4S, but now I can not get text messages from any of my contacts who have iPhones. One thing I read to do/try was to remove my iPhone from my iCloud, but I no longer have the phone...how can I do this from my iPad?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
iOS has got Messages app, which uses iMessage to send and receive messages. iMessage can only be used in iPhones, iPads, iPods touch and Macs, not on your Samsung Galaxy phone.
You need an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac to remove your iPhone's phone number from Messages. After getting one, open Settings > Messages > Send and Receive, and remove your phone number. After doing this, when one of your contacts choose your phone number in Messages app, it will send a SMS instead of an iMessage

Hi my MacBook is freezing whenever I try to open an application. I have tried resetting the system management controller, however no success. How can I wipe my hardrive and reinstall it again. PS: I no longer have the installation CDs, can I download it from Apple?

To get replacement installation disks, call Apple. Have the serial number of your MBP ready and a credit card. There is a fee.

How do i remove my old iphone 4 from my devices in itunes as i have now sold the phone

i have sold my old iphone 4, how do i remove it from my devices in itunes as i am coming close to the maximum of 5 devices on my itunes account on my laptop

wendyfitz wrote:

No.
There is no setting in iTunes to "remove" any device. Fact is, if you don't turn automatic downloads on, or match, on your devices, you can sync as many devices as you want to the same iTunes account. And, if you do turn on automatic downloads, or match, you can "associate" up to ten devices with your ID.
Read here about removing a device that is "associated" with your ID:

Bear in mind, that ONLY applies if you turned on automatic downloads or match.

HT204053 I have two iphones with different numbers that I use my apple ID for purchases, etc. How do I get my second iphone setup on icloud? I would like to use the features of icloud for both of my iphones. Thank you

I have two iphones with different phone numbers that I use. I have one of them set up on icloud now, but do not know how to set up my second device on icloud. Both of my iphones use my same Apple ID for purchases, etc. Is there a simple way to add a device to my icloud account? Thank you in advance for any help someone may be able to give me.

To move one of the phones to a different iCloud account (if that's what you want to do), go to Settings>iCloud and turn all synced data to Off. When prompted, choose to keep the data on your iPhone. After everything is off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. This will delete the account from the phone but not from iCloud so the other phone will not be effected. Then set up a new iCloud account with a different Apple ID and turn iCloud syncing in Settings>iCloud back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new iCloud account.
You will then have to go to icloud.com and sign into each iCloud account separately and delete any unwanted data that you don't want on the phone syncing with each account.

How to erase my iphone4 if i no longer have the phone in my possession

How do I erese everything off my old iphone4 if I do not have it in my possession any longer?

You would have had to setup/activate Find My Phone on the phone, and the phone would need to be turned on & connected to the Internet. You would then login at iCloud.com & you can then issue an erase command. If none of the above was done, there is no way to erase your phone without physical possession of it now.
