  • How can I deactivate an iPhone 5 and then activate it on a current prepaid plan?

    My son left his iPhone 5 when he moved saying he didn't want it. (teen temper tantrum)  After 6 mos we might as well get some use out of it since we paid for it.  How can I deactivate it (it has been restored to factory default) and then activate it on my current prepaid plan with my number?
    I have no passwords/icloud/apple id information and won't likely get it from him.  Is there another option?  Thanks

        missgen, as a mother of a 16 year old, I know all about temper tantrums. Let's not let that device go to waiste. You can hard reset that device by connecting it to a computer with iTunes downloaded to it. Once you connect the device, it will open iTunes. You will be provided with the option to "Use Recovery Mode." For your convenience, I've provided a very helpful link with the steps to reset that phone's password: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    Once the password has been reset, you can master that reset that device in Settings>General>Reset>"Erase All Content & Settings"

  • How do I deactivate my iPhone 5s?

    I got the white iPhone 5s, so I activated it which deactivated my previous iPhone 4. However, I want to return the white 5s to get the black one. How do I deactivate my  5s so I can return it?
    (Deactivate meaning that I can go back to using my iPhone 4 in the mean time while they process and send me my black 5s)

    Contact your carrier.

  • How do I get my iPhone iMessages to sync with my macbook pro iMessages?

    I don't get imessages on my macbook pro unless I start the conversation first. How can I get my iMessages to sync together?

    I don't have the option to enable messages for phone numbers or emails in my iMessages Preferences. I have a 3 year old MacBook Pro running OS 10.9.3, with all updates offered.  So I can't sync my messages from my iPhone to my Mac and vice versa.

    Is your new device an iPhone?
    If not, contact Apple support and tell them you need to deactivate iMessage and you no longer have an iPhone.

  • Iphone screen broke. Doesn't even light up. changed phone, but i still get iMessages on iphone and not on my new phone. How can i deactivate totally my iphone to receive the old iMessages on my blackberry?

    High people! My iphone screen recently broke, and it doesn't even light up. The whole thing still works, so i get vibrations, calls ecc.. i changed to a blackberry, but now i don't get texts from people that wrote to me with imessage, because imessages still go to my iphone. What can i do?

    Deactivate iMessage:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5185
    FYI, starting a new conversation thread has never forced iMessage off... it simply does not work.
    If your new iPhone has iMessage activated and is using the same phone number as the old iPhone, iMessages should be going to the new phone.

  • I want to give my old iPhone 4 to my grandson to use like an iPod Touch. Wifi only. How do I deactivate my info..so he can buy his own apps. and not have the cloud pushing all of my data to the old phone?

    I want to give my old iPhone 4 to my grandson to use like an iPod Touch. Wifi only. How do I deactivate my info..so he can buy his own apps. and not have the cloud pushing all of my data to my old phone?
    Just turning off Cloud will not prevent him from turning it back on.
    Rignt now, if he uses the App store, iTunes thinks it's talking to me.

    First, turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account, while your sim is still in the phone. Then: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Give it to your grandson & he gat then set it up as he wants.
    Important your turn iMessage & FaceTime off to disassociate the phone from your Apple ID. Apple "claims" to have fixed this with iOS 6.0, but until I can absolutely confirm such, I still recommend you turn all of that stuff off first.

  • HT4993 i no longer have an iphone. How do i turn off my imessage?

    i no longer have an iphone. How do i turn off my imessage?

    Hey jojo.latinamodel,
    I found the following steps to take if you need to deactivate iMessage:
    iMessage is registered with your cellular telephone number when you turn it on with your iPhone. If you want to deregister your phone number:
    Tap Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off
    If you still cannot deactivate iMessage after you perform the steps above, or if you no longer have access to the iPhone, please contact Apple support for assistance.
