How to deactivate phone from iCloud account

I recently sold my old iPhone 4s and wiped it's contents prior to selling it.  The buyer just contacted me and said my iCloud account is still attached to the phone.  When I erased all of the data and settings, shouldn't that have removed my iCloud account from my phone?  How can I remove my iCloud account from this phone since it's no longer in my possession?
Thanks!

  • Deactivate phone from my account?

    My old iPhone 4s developed a fault. I tried all restorative techniques without success. I was advised that it might cost a lot to repair and that the fault was possibly terminal in any case. I've bought a new phone (unlocked from Apple).  I've erased all the information from the old device but am advised that the phone remains registered to me unless I can deactivate it from my account. I've moved my SIM to the new device.  I want to give the old one  to a charity shop because I am told it still has some value.  ( It still works but there are things very wrong with it).  How can I deactivate it from my account and avoid any possible data trail?

    login into icloud.com on a desktop computer and remove the device from your icloud account.

  • HT1689 I lost my iPod shuffle and want to know how to deactivate it from my account using my iPad.

    I lost my iPod shuffle and want to know if I can deactivate it from my account using my iPad. Is is possible or do i have to use my computer?  It's not accessible. Can someone help?

    The only devices that are authorized to an iTunes account are computers. iPads, iPods, iPhones, AppleTVs don't count as authorized devices. There's no need to do anything.

  • How to remove iDevice from iCloud account? Please!

    For some reason I have a phantom device stuck in my iCloud account. I can see evidence of this from:
    1) OSX's map app. When I send directions from the Map App, I see 3 devices (iPad mini, iPad and then iPhone). This is probably a result of renaming my iPad to iPad mini.
    2) When I go on my iPhone and setup SMS forwarding, I see the same 3 devices again.
    If I go to icloud.com and look at find my devices, I only see 2 devices.
    So how do I remove the old ipad??

    Any help?

  • How to withdraw Gmail from iCloud account?

    When I first created my Apple ID, I didn’t know anything about iCloud, so I entered my Gmail ([email protected]) as my primary mail.
    After this creation Apple gave me iCloud mail ([email protected]/[email protected]) which now I want to use as my primary mail and forget about Gmail forever.
    Problem is: I can’t remove Gmail from my Apple ID and use iCloud mail instead, using appleid.apple.com. I’m getting message that I couldn’t "use a domain owned by Apple".
    My goal is to withdraw Gmail from my Apple ecosystem and use in it only iCloud mail as primary mail for everything: for login, for getting messages and notifications from Apple, everything.
    Who can help me with that?
    P. S. The main reason is that I want receive important emails from Apple on my iCloud mail, not my Gmail, because I barely check my Gmail and almost forgot about its existence.
    So if there is a way to make Apple send notifications not for primary email but for alternate—it would kinda solve my problem.

    same here... i would love to get rid of my old gmail account and use my iCloud email address for this...

  • How can I access my iCloud account on the web from my phone

    how can I access my iCloud account on the web from my phone
    iPhone 5 iOS 8.3
    I have iCloud turned on, location services on, find my phone works but when I try to access iCloud via Safari on the phone it takes me to a page Apple.com,
    iCloud then three options
    set up iCloud on my phone (i have)
    Install Find my phone, it is installed and it works from my MBP
    or install find my friends, I don't need that I have no friends.
    my calendars and contacts and bookmarks and all are all sync'd and working on the phone, but i thought if I typed in iCloud.com on the phone in Safari I would go to my iCloud web page that looks like this on my Mac.
    Is that NOT how iCloud should/would look on my phone via Safari?
    This is maybe a dumb question after 3+ year of iPhone'ing
    thank you for clarifying or helping me to understand

    I've been playing with a Galaxy here at work and here's what I've found so far - please feel free to jump in and suggest alternative methods to configure or access the various icloud components.
    So the original Q: Can you access your icloud account on Android?
    Not entirely: the website can't be used from an android browser (not properly - even with Dolphin HD and posing as different browsers it won't load correctly.  So Find my iphone is out, so is the address book or looking at your e-mail or calendar just in a browser window
    I was able to setup my e-mail using the IMAP settings published here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
    Be sure to setup the account manually - and note if you have trouble using SSL try TLS (that worked for me)
    Address book is a no go so you'll have to use iTunes to sync all your contacts over to Gmail - if you still have an iPad it means managing contacts in two places though .  Same goes for your calendar - transfer it to Gmail and forget about iCloud's calendar.  Nice instructions here: http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-20064060-285/how-to-switch-from-iphone-to-an droid/
    iWork is an Apple proprietary bit so don't expect much there.
    So in my case, if I'm really going to make the switch to a Galaxy from my iPhone it really means I'm going to have to switch to using google as the backend.  The timing to swap over to a galaxy/android phone is not the greatest - given that I'd have to give up my Apple addiction (syncing photos and itunes and losing access to my device tracking).  Plus I still have an iPad and a mac and like living in the Apple ecosystem.  I think I'll wait and see what the new iPhone looks like before I commit

  • How can I separate my iCloud account from my sons phone

    How can I separate my iCloud account from my sons phone?

    Just delete your iCloud account from your sons device. Therefor open "Settings >iCloud", scroll down, and delete your account (don't worry, it will only delete the account from your sons device). If he also uses this account for iTunes and App store purchases and you would like to change that as well, then you have to do the same in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores".

  • HT4847 I changed my iPhone from an IPhone 4 to an iPhone 5. How do I delete my iCloud account on my old phone without losing all the data on my new iPhone 5?

    I changed my iPhone from an IPhone 4 to an iPhone 5. How do I delete my iCloud account on my old phone without losing all the data on my new iPhone 5?

    If you have any photo stream photos on your old phone that you want to keep you might want to save them to the camera roll, then import them to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) before deleting the account.  The reason for this is that photo stream photos are only kept in iCloud for 30 days.  When you enable photo stream on your new phone you will only receive photo stream photos from the last 30 days as older photos are no longer in iCloud.
