How to deactivate a device?

i can see options for activating a new device, or switching a device ... but no obvious way (to me) to simply DEactivate a device. All I want to do is to end cellular service for an iPad (WiFi is all I need now), while keeping service for my phones unchanged. Thanks.

Thanks, Elector. Seems pretty dumb that there's no simple way to do it online. Well I guess it's smart from Verizon's perspective ... make it easy to add services, but then make it really inconvenient to terminate any services (and the payments that go with them).

How to deactivate "Device Removal" dialogs

My team is developing a Java application that will run full screen and interface with a USB hard drive.
I would like to figure out how to deactivate the "Device Removal" warning dialog when the USB drive is unplugged without ejecting it properly.
An alternative would be to understand how to capture that event and display our own dialog.
Thanks.

First of all, that warning is a good thing. You don't want to eject mounted drives without unmounting them first.
Second of all, there is no way you'll do this that in Java. It might be possible using C++ and Apple's I/O Kit. It kind of defeats the purpose to write a Java program that needs a kernel extension.

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.

How to deactivate other phones from using my itunes account

Please help how to deactivate other phones from using my itunes account?

Hello Kirstyspencer
I would sign out of your Apple ID on those devices and also change the password to your Apple ID. That should stop people from accessing and using your Apple ID.

Most applications permit two activations. Unless you have installed already on two computers/devices there should be no problem.
If you have already made two activations we can't help on the forums. You would need to contact Adobe directly.

There is no way to deactivate the functionality. It is specific to certain apps that are being installed. If you do not like it, do not install those apps or find a different device.

How to Deactivate broken BB8830 then Activate spare BB8830?

I need to know step by step how to deactivate my broken BB 8830 and the activate my other never used BB 8830. I want to keep the same Verizon services on the phone as I have on the old broken phone. Thanks

1. Is your device working in that you can connect it to your PC? If so, hook it up via USB, open BlackBerry Desktop Manager (the software that came with your phone, or download it from the BlackBerry site). Go to Switch Device Wizard and follow the prompts to back up your old phone. (If your phone is dead, you will have to skip to step 2 and manually update everything on the new device. Or if you used Verizon's Backup Assistant, your contacts should be stored there.)
2. Once backed up, turn off the old phone. From the new phone, dial *228. Listen for the prompts, then choose "activate device" (might be option 2, if I remember correctly). This should activate the other device without changing anything on your plan. If it won't activate over the air, your option is to call *611 (from a different phone number) and get help from a rep. You can also try to switch online at MyVerizon, using the ESNs, which will be printed on stickers behind your BlackBerrys' batteries.
3. Once activated, you can hook up the new device to your computer and use Switch Device Wizard to get all your settings and apps back to what you had on the previous phone.

I am at my 5 device itunes limit so would like to deactivate old devices

i am at my 5 device itunes limit so would like to deactivate old devices e.g ipods that i dont use, but when i go to my 'account' & 'manage' it says i have 1 PC linked 2 the account, but nothing about the other devices. How can i deactivate these? I cant seem to get a list of them up anywhere but i know there are at least 2 ipods and 1 phone that i have used through this PC with itunes. Can anyone help?

Go to your account in the iTunes Store and look for the De-authorise All button in your account's details. Use the De-authorise All and then authorise the PCs you still have.

What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:
This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.

Are you worried about data security on your lost iPhone?
Presuming that you've enabled iCloud, you can login in iCloud.com to wipe all data on iPhone.
it’s possible to initiate a remote wipe of the phone, which will cause the phone to reset itself to factory settings and preserve your data. Do this by logging in, clicking on Find My iPhone then selecting the device and enabling Lost Mode.

How to get the device token of a device ?

Most probably device token is the push channel url which is returned by MPNS when a request is made to it.

HT204053 i need to know how to separate different devices on the same itunes account

I need to kow how to seperate different devices on the same itunes account

Each of you should have their own iCloud account which could be set up in "Settings > iCloud" (and if you asking me also for iMessage and FaceTime), but you could still use the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases which could be set up in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores" so that you only have to purchase each app or other media once.

How do i disassociate devices from my itunes account? I have an old iphone 4, PC, and soon to be old iphone 5.

Hey sgallagher5200,
Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines how to remove an associated device from your account:
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
Removing an associated device or computer from an Apple ID
To remove a device or computer from your Apple ID:
Open iTunes.
Sign in to your Apple ID by choosing Store > Sign In from the iTunes menu.
Choose Store > View My Account from the iTunes menu.
From the Account Information screen, click Manage Devices.
Click the Remove button next to the device name you would like to unassociate.
Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90-day timer. You must wait 90 days from the day the device was first associated with your Apple ID before it can be associated with another Apple ID.
Thanks,
Matt M.
