I already reset the phone but it is still showing on find my iphone app

I know all about the icloud activation thing. so when I sold an iphone 5, I did a reset all content and settings. What I dont understand is, it is still on my find my iphone application. Does this mean if the new owner reset her iPhone, it will go to activation and ask for my password again? If the new owner sets up her icloud account on the iPhone 5, then the iphone is now registered to 2 icloud accounts?

Sign in on www.icloud.com, choose the find my iPhone icon, locate the phone, choose remote wipe, then remove the device from your account. That will prevent the activation lock from enabling on the person you sold the phone to.

My iphone is getting hot to the touch and the battery is rapidly losing power. I reset the phone but it continues doing the same thing.

My phone is rapidly losing battery life - even when it is just sitting idle. The back of the phone is hot to the touch. I reset the phone but it is still doing the same thing. Thanks.

This happens if I upload too many HD photos at once. You are overworking the processor. Just leave your phone off and put it on top of a plastic bag of ice to cool it down. To keep this from happening you have to remove apps from the multitasker by double tapping the home button when the phone is on the home screen or in an app, then hold down on an app, then just press the little red minus signs. This won't delte the app, it just quits them (for example: quitting Skype will not allow you to recieve calls, quitting Facebook will stop you from receiving messages until you reopen the app, quitting the Phone app will not stop you from getting calls or texts though). This will save a great deal of battery.

can you see the wi-fi address in the about? if it show N/A, your iphone needs to be repaired.
if your ios is 5.1.1 or you can see the wi-fi address,you could try to connect your iphone to the itunes to restore and update.

I suddenly cannot access my AOL E mail account via my iPhone. Has worked for ages. Now says username or passowrd is incorrect which it is not! Have reset the phone but still no joy. Any ideas........please! Martyn

Is there any chance your AOL account has been hacked? Check it to make sure your password is still what you think it is.
Also make sure caps lock isn't on when typing your password.

Since yesterday my iphone 4 has started to freeze intermittently when unlocking. When it happens nothing happens (left it for an hour last night) until I reset the phone, but it's done it 5 times today. Never had this prob before. Any thoughts?

I had the same problem (freezing iphone when trying to unlock) today.
1) I made a backup of my iphone using itunes.
2) Went to my service provider and made a sim swap. So, I think there was a problem with the nano simcard.
Problem solved.

Hello there, Fernandox26.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting isues with unexpected power issues with your iOS device:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

I've reset the network settings and restored by itunes... but I'm still without wi-fi ...

I have a cracked iPhone 6 screen. I just bought the phone, but not AppleCare. If I get my iphone screen replaced through apple how much do I pay and would it void my one year warranty with Apple?

To replace your phone's screen costs $109US and I don't see why having Apple replace the screen would void your warranty.

I have a MacBook Pro and the batter icon has an "X" in it. I attempted resetting the SMC but it's still there. Not sure if the SMC didn't work or I have another problem. Help?

You can try the SMC again.

Follow directions for a battery you should not remove yourself
You can also try a NVRAM/PRAM reset (at the bottom of the same page in the above link
Also hold the OPTION key and click on the Apple logo in the menu bar and click on system information, in the left column select power. Under the battery info see if it is charging (with the power adapter plugged in) as well as the health info (condition should be normal), and battery installrd (should be YES)
If other than these are different you may want to take it in to a Genius bar for a full diagnosis they will do that for dree.
Hope this helps

My i phone will not open my yahoo mail, but sits and spins. I have reset the phone and network and still no help. Any other ideas?

My i-phone stopped receiving e-mail on a regular basis. Rather, it will sit and spin trying to load and then stop. Usually, sometime in the night, it will all of a sudden load all of my mail, but then will not load new mail again. I have updated and reset the phone and network, and the problem remains the same. Does anyone know a fix for this issue?

Try deleting the account, restarting your phone and then reinputting the account.

As far as tracing, you are SOL. Report the theft to the police - Reporting a lost or stolen Mac Product

When i check my email on my iphone 4 it doesnt show as being read on my Outlook. I have reset the phone but it still doesn't help. I have checked all settings but to no avail.This is an exchange email.

When i check my email on my iphone 4 it does not show as being read on my outlook 2010. I have had my phone reset per apples request but still no good. I have checked all push setting but it all looks normal. This is driving me nuts. Any ideas? This is an exchange email account.

If a phone is sold from one friend to another and wants to use it on a different carrier the friend can contact the carrier it was sold by to request it unlocked. I know AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint will give you the steps to unlock it as long as the original contract it was bought under has been completed. eBay/Craigslist is really not the best place to try to get "unlocked phones" from, if it turns out the phone isn't unlocked then I'm really sorry you got stuck with that one and as stevejobsfan said above I would report them immediately and see if you can recover your money. I sell phones for a living and this happens a lot

My new iPhone6 has vibration disfunction problem. I check setting and reset the phone but is still unworkable.

I missed 10 calls at least when I was watching movie in theater because I turned the sound off and vibration on. So I just found that its vibration function is unworkable. I just got the phone 7 days (tomorrow is the 8th day). So, I think Apple won't accept to change a new phone to me. Do u face the same non-vibration problem on iPhone6???

"I think Apple won't accept to change a new phone": You have 14 calendar days to return the iPhone from the date of purchase, they won't even ask you why you want to bring it back, but you might want to tell them it's because there's an issue.

I already reset the phone but it is still showing on find my iphone app
