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.

  • 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

  • How to u set your alarm clock but not have the phone or txt go off

    Hi, My old phone Blackberry had an alarm. I would set it and then shut the phone off. The phone would turn itself on when the alarm had to go off.
    IPone 4 will not do that. So, how do I set the alarm and not have the phone ring or get text alerts. I cannot figure out how to do this.
    How do you delete pictures that are not on the camera roll there is a garbage can for those but not for other picture. I have double from synching too many times, this is my first Apple and I am not finding it easy to use.
    Thank you

  • How can i continue my icloud keychain on my ipod if i no longer have the phone number from my iphone5c?

    How can I get my icloud keychain to my ipod if I no longer have my iphone 5c

    If you have iCloud Keychain set up on another device, you can update your SMS number via that other device in order to verify your new device.  If you do not have another device available or you do not have an SMS capable number, you will need to contact Apple for identity verification in order to bypass that phone number authentication. See below.
    Get help using iCloud Keychain
    I'm not receiving the verification code via SMS.
    Make sure that you have a strong cellular network connection on your phone.
    Make sure that your phone number can receive SMS messages. You can do this by asking someone to send you a text message.
    Make sure that the correct phone number is associated with your account:
    iOS 7.0.3 or later: Tap Settings > iCloud > Account, then tap Keychain. Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
    OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later: Choose Apple () > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account Details. Make sure the phone number listed under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
    If you can't access a device that has iCloud Keychain enabled, you can contact Apple Support and verify your identity to get help completing iCloud Keychain setup.

  • How do I recover keychain code if I no longer have the phone number?

    How do I verify with apple support?

    Change your Apple ID password, & login to iCloud.com, & remove the phone from your account. However, doesn't always work. Calling AppleCare & asking to talk to "Account Security" always works & they'll do such while you're on the phone.

  • 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.

  • Just activated BlueAnt S4 with my iPhone4 and having an issue with the Phone Commands

    Just activated BlueAnt S4 with my iPhone4 and having an issue with the Phone Commands - as I have multiple numbers for people (ie: iPhone, Work, Home), is it the BlueAnt that is having the issues or the iPhone? Tried to eliminate info on my partner's contact in with only 2 contact numbers (iPhone, Home) and one or the other is totally screwing up. Seems, from BlueAnt website, that it would be the iPhone contacts...and the guessing begins?!! Anyone else have similar issues when BlueAnt S4 was paired and giving 'Phone Commands'?? Any suggestions would be beneficial as I've spent way too much time on the web looking for a good fix/answer. Thanks.

    On your new phone: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Start over, this time using your new ID.

  • HT1975 how can i find my lost iphone if i have the fi d my phone app but my location service is off

    how can i find my lost iphone if i have the finf my phone app but my location service is turned off

    - Go to icloud.com, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and send the iPhone a message of where you can be reached.
    Otherwise, the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPad and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPad (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing
