How do you delete/deactivate an Apple ID from an iPhone that you no longer have?

I traded in my iPhone 5 for a Samsung Galaxy S4 about a month and a half ago. My friends who still have iPhones and use iMessage are having trouble sending me messages, as it still tries to send through iMessage even though I no longer have the iPhone. I also cannot set up my visual voice mail app on my S4. I have been told that the problem is that my Apple ID is still associated with my phone number, even though I no longer use an iPhone. How do I delete or deactivate my Apple ID without having the iPhone to logout of my Apple ID?
I have gone to a support website and unregistered all my previous apple devices from my Apple ID.

apple can do it call 1-800-694-7466
if you had the device you good use

  • How Do I Delete My Old Apple ID From My iPhone When That ID No Longer Exists?

    I moved, and cancled my internet provider, losing that associated email (email #1). It was the same email I used for my Apple ID. At some point in the unknown past, the only other email adress I have (email #2) was also signed up for a speerate Apple ID
    I spoke to Apple on the phone, they walked me through changing my Apple ID from email #1 to email #2 and deleting any record of email #1. All worked fine.
    But now, my iPhone can't do anything iCloud related because it's looking for my original Apple ID with email #1. I can't download apps, I can't download podcasts and most frustrating, I can not DELETE the old Apple ID without a password, which I've tried but am told it doesn't like it - probabbly because that email doesn't exist in the first place.
    So, can I do anything before getting back on the phone with Apple?

    With iOS 7 there’s no workaround.
    They should have done this.

  • How can I delete an old apple id from an iPhone 4, 8.1.3 without password?

    I was given an iPhone 4 by my daughters friend, I use it for my sons to play games on only, its not connected to our phone service, but his apple id is still associated with the phone and after I updated the phone, it keeps asking me for his password, which I do not know nor can I get in touch with him to find out. It is using his apple id for an iCloud account, which I have never used.  I sync the phone with iTunes on my iMac with my apple id and my kids can purchase things using my ID, but his is still coming up and its frustrating my kids, lol, because every 2 seconds a prompt comes up to enter the Apple ID password for his email to sign into iCloud.  Not sure why its doing it more now, maybe because of the update?? Its version IOS 8.1.3. Please help me and help me delete and disassociate his account from this phone!  Thanks!

    And by the way, this was NOT a lost or stolen phone, it was given to my daughter who then gave it to her brothers to play games on.  It was legally obtained!

  • How do i delete a video or photo from my iPhone that i have imported from my mac?

    i recently downloaded all of my photos and videos onto my macbook. i went to try and download one of the videos onto my hone and successfully figured that out, but when i went to my photos on my iPhone it wasn't on my camera roll but had created its own album and will not allow me to delete the video. Any suggestions?

    If you use your computer to put a picture/video on the phone, you will have to use your computer to remove it.

    how do i delete a multiple apple id from my account?  I only need one and i have two listed

    Hello javyocks,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Concerning the issue with multiple Apple ID's, please look at the following:
    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5622
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
    If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
    Take care,
    Alex H.

  • How can i play iTunes on apple tv from my mac?  i used to have an icon that synced the two but i can't find that icon anymore

    how can i play iTunes on apple tv from my mac?  i used to have an icon that synced the two but i can't find that icon anymore

    If you are using the 2nd or 3rd gen Apple TV (little black box) then it would have no syncing or storage capability.
    iTunes content would be accessed using home sharing.

    If you are referring to the 1st gen (bigger aluminum box with hard drive)

  • How do i delete a icould email from my iphone when i no longer have access to the email address and my security questions dont match to get in to the account?

    I am trying to delete my icloud account from my iphone as i no longer have access to this email and when i try to challenge the security question to access the account apparently i dont know my own date of birth. I cant delete the account as i dont remeber the passwrod and i have a new icloud account that i would like to link the phone to. Any help would be appreciated
    thanks

    If the old ID (iCloud account) is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
    This will not work if your current ID is an entirely new ID and is not a newer version of the old ID.

  • How do I delete photos and photo albums from my iPhone? The instructions given do not work. No "delete" symbol appears next to the album name, and no trash can icon appears below most of the pictures the computer just put on my new iPhone 4.

    How do I delete photos and photo albums from my iPhone 4? The instructions given do not work. No "delete" symbol appears next to the album name when I press "Edit," and no trash can icon for me to click appears below most of the individual photos in the albums the computer just loaded on my new iPhone 4. When I synced the new phone the computer added these photo albums without permission from me. They are now taking up about 3 GB of memory on my phone. I would like very much to get rid of these photos from the phone. How do I do this?

    To delete photos from your device
    In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Sync photos from."
    On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
    On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Click Apply.

    How do I delete a down loaded app from my iphone?
    I'm new to the iphones and still learning. We don't use our phones that much as we still have a land line. My husband and I are both in our seventies and are slow learners. We bought the phone to use in the car for the GPS and what ever.  I down loaded some games but after looking at them I don't like them, and would like to take them off. If any one can help Thank you.
