HT1689 How do i unregister my iphone from my Apple ID and Itunes?

I actually purchased a Samsung S4 and need to unregister my IPhone from my account.  How do I do that?

Hello PJBurke65,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
You can remove your iPhone from your Apple ID with this article:
iCloud: Remove your device
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2702
If you’re no longer using an iOS device or Mac, you can remove it from Find My iPhone when it’s offline. To remove a device that’s online, first turn off Find My iPhone on the device, or erase the device.
If you want to give away or sell your device, be sure to erase your content and settings (in Settings > General > Reset). When you erase your content, Activation Lock is also turned off. For more information, see the Apple Support article: What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Remove your device from Find My iPhone
Sign in to icloud.com/#find with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).If you’re already using an iCloud web app, click the app’s name to switch apps.
Click All Devices, select the offline device, then click Delete x.The Delete icon appears only after Find My iPhone has tried and failed to connect to your device (this may take a few minutes).
Note:   You can also click “Remove from Find My iPhone” in the device’s Info window. 
Click Remove.
If your device goes online again later (and Find My iPhone is still turned on), it automatically reappears in Find My iPhone. If you still have access to the device, prevent it from reappearing by turning off Find My iPhone:
On an iOS device, go to Settings > iCloud, then tap to turn off Find My iPhone.
On a Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click iCloud, then deselect Find My Mac.
All the best,
Sterling

  • How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice?

    How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice....I am using iCloud but am not sure how correct this duplication.

    Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Is this happening at the bottom in the signature section, or in the header of the mail where your email address is? If it is the signature, then go to the Signature area of the Mail settings. If this is in the header, then go to the account in question and edit your account information to include your name instead of Johnny.

  • How to change view in iPhone from vertical to horizon and vice versa?

    How to change view in iPhone from vertical to horizon and vice versa?

    Not all applications will go from Portrait to Landscape. Changing just requires you to turn the device. However, if you have the orientation lock activated, then it will not change to landscape. To check, look in the status bar and see if you can see a small lock shaped icon near the battery icon. If you do, then orientation lock is activated. To turn it off, swipe upwards from the bottom of the iPhone screen to bring up Control Center. The orientation lock is the last icon on the top row to the right. Tap on it to turn it off. White is on, black is off.

  • If I buy an iPhone from the Apple website, and then go to Verizon to activate it, will it reset my 2 year contract? Also, will Verizon charge extra for activating since the price on Verizon is higher than the Apple website's price?

    It's all very confusing to me, I need some answers from experienced customers.

    I already checked. I purchased my iPhone 3G on the launch date back in July '08. I've paid the bill the day my bill was issued, days ahead of its due date, and for some reason, even through it's magic 8-ball wisdom, said I was not eligible for and upgrade. Not till Dec. of this year at least.
    So even though my phone is now technically 'mine' and off their contract, they still won't unlock it for me? How come?

  • How can I unlink my iPhone from an apple id?

    I tried to download the iOS 8 update, but it told me i didn't have enough storage and there was an error so i clicked the okay button and unplugged my phone. Then it had that screen that said plug into your iTunes, so i plugged it in and said i had to restore it. It was the only way my phone will turn on so i did that and when it turned back on it asked for my apple id and password, and now none of my information that i know is right is working and I'm locked out of my phone. I want to know if unlinking my iPhone from the apple id will allow me to sign in with a new id. I have an iPhone 5.

    What ID is it asking you for? Did you purchase the device 2nd hand? If so, you may have encountered the Activation Lock, which means the phone is still locked to the Previous Owner's Find My iPhone. If that is the case, you will have to contact the previous owner to follow the instructions below. If you cannot contact the owner, and you purchased it through eBay see if you can get a refund.
    If you are locked out due to Activation Lock, there is nothing you can do to access the device:

  • I have an iphone 4s and i need to unlink it from my apple id and itunes

    Good morning to whomever is there, I have an apple iphone 4s that i am trying to sell.  The problem that I am having is the person that bought my phone is now returning it because her son was unhappy with it.  She keeps telling me that the phone is still linked to my apple id.  How can I remove this device from my apple id?   Thanks to anyone and everyone that may answer.

    Thank you so much for your info.  I guess i dont understand because i did everything that you stated.  I had looked up that info on the apple\icloud\itunes and did exactly as it said.  When i restarted the phone it said welcome and set up screen came up.  I also went back into the website and could no longer find my device.  Why am i being told that the phone is still connected to my itunes?  Now this woman's slamming me on ebay.  I seriously just want to cry.

  • How do I unsync my iPhone from my old computer and sync it to my new one?

    I am unable to access my iPhone on my new computer without erasing and syncing all my data on my iPhone. I no longer have my old computer so unsyncing from that computer or transferring the data from it is out of the question. I have important settings, contacts, pictures, etc. that I don't want to lose from erasing my iPhone. However, I want to be able to actually put stuff on my phone. I attempted to backup my iPhone to my new computer and it worked. Yet, it seemed like it only backed up the apps on my iPhone. Is there a way to keep everything the way it is now on my iPhone (including app layout, settings, and such) and still sync to my new computer?

    The warning message provided is all iTunes content on your iPhone will be erased, not all settings and data. The same applies when selecting to transfer any photos from the new computer. If you had a computer backup for your old computer that included your iTunes library and all photos on your iPhone that were transferred from your computer that could be transferred to your new computer, this wouldn't be a problem.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer all iTunes content on your iPhone that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes Store. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. Or with your iPhone connected, right click on your iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list and at the menu window that appears, select Transfer Purchases.
    There are some 3rd party utilties that provide for transferring photos from an iPhone that were transferred to the iPhone from a computer, but the original resolution of these photos will be lost. When transferring photos from a computer, the photos are optimized for viewing on the iPhone. The same utilities provide for transferring music from an iPhone that was not purchased from the iTunes Store.
    Contacts, settings, and photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll are not affected by this.

  • I accidentally removed my iphone from my apple ID in itunes. How do I restore it?

    I accidentally hit remove iphone form my itunes account. How do I restore it? Do I need to sync it to the computer or can i do it remotely?

    Hi jakefrombishop,
    If you changed that old ID to your current ID using Manage your Apple ID, try the following to see if it will accept your current password:
    1.     Go to Manage your Apple ID and sign on with your current Apple ID and password. EDIT the ID and change it to the old email address. This is temporary. Do NOT verify it, do NOT change the password: Apple - My Apple ID
    2.     Now on the iPhone, where it is asking for your password to turn off Find My iPhone, type in your current password
    3.     Go back to Manage your Apple ID and sign on with the old email address and your current password. EDIT the Apple ID back to your current email address. You may need to verify it again.
    Fingers crossed!

  • How can I disconnect my iPhone from my apple id before 90 days expired

    i want to download my music from my Apple Id but it doesn't let me do it and tells me to wait 90 days because it is connected to another Apple ID but I dont want it, help Me please!!!

    There's nothing you can do.  Once your device is associated with an iTunes store ID and you change it, you cannot switch to another ID to download previous purchases for 90 days, as explained here: iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID - Apple Support.
