Impossible to delete old devices from SMS Relay list

Hey guys!
I have the following problem: ever since installing iOS 8.1 on my iPhones my girlfriend's MacBook Air shows up on the list of devices, for which SMS Relay can be activated. The thing is, I deleted my account on her MacBook (running Yosemite) long before iOS 8.1 was even released. Obviously, I figured, just deleting was not enough so I created a new account on her machine with the exact same user name, password and AppleID as before, hoping that I could solve the problem somehow. Unfortunately, now I had even ANOTHER entry in my SMS Relay list from the exact same Mac. I then logged out of iCloud on her MacBook without deleting the user account just yet to see if the second entry maybe disappears, which it didn't. The trick (for the 2nd entry) finally was to log out of the messages app and then delete the account.
However, since I did not do that the first time, I am, of course, wondering if there is any way to delete the first entry of the MacBook Air from my list (disabling and re-enabling iMessage on one of my iPhones did not do the trick).
Any ideas?
Best regards,
Daniel

Hey!
i had the same problem i contacted apple and got them to sign my iMessage and FaceTime out of all devices he tried to help me but it came down to waiting 45 days because their system asks all devices to reactivate if it fails to reactivate it will drop off from that menu and your account.
hope this helps!!

It should be under Store > View My Account > iTunes In The Cloud > Manage Devices. That screen can't be used to deauthorise computers, only change the automatic download status.

Can't Delete Old Device From isync

This is simple. Got a new cell phone...a PEBL. Put in my sim card from the old mobile into the new PEBL. Go to isync, to put it in. Can't..... only comes up with the old mobile, only icon isn't in the square silver box (so I can delete it?) because the old mobile doesn't have the sim card...therefore, can't delete it, to reinstate new one. The "find me"in my new mobile is highlighted, all the bluetooth's are working...but isync doesn't find it. What can I do?
Thanks,
Peter

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The presence or absence of a SIM card should have no impact at all on your ability to remove a device from iSync. If you cannot select the device in the main window and choose Remove Device, or if that effort does not result in its removal, then do this:
• quit iSync
• locate the com.apple.isync.registry.plist preference file in your User Preference folder
• drag that file to the Trash
• relaunch iSync
That should effectively remove the device from iSync.

How to clear old devices from My Network list on Verizon Quantum Gateway G1100?

There are a bunch of devices that haven't been on the network for two weeks (when I set up the new router) and won't be on again ever in My Network (http://myfiosgateway.com/#/network). I've blocked them but want to remove them so they aren't in the list. How can I do this?
On http://myfiosgateway.com/#/advanced/dhcp/connections the devices that haven't been on in two weeks are showing as active there, however my work laptop is showing as expired even though it was connected several days ago. I can delete the expired one - all the other old ones are still active.
Confuzzling, especially considering there are 73 days left on the IP address lease of the never-to-be-seen-again devices, while a device that connected for the first time today has 3 hours left.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Reboot the router and they should be gone.

Remove documents from iCloud
You can remove documents stored in iCloud by deleting them from any of your devices that have iCloud set up for Documents & Data. Removing your documents from iCloud reduces the amount of iCloud storage space you’re using.
Remove iCloud documents from your iOS device
Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage.
Under Documents & Data, tap the app that has a document you want to delete, then tap Edit.
Remove iCloud documents from your Mac
Open iCloud preferences, then click Manage.
Select an app on the left, then select one or more documents on the right.
Click Delete (below the list of apps).
You can also remove documents from iCloud by moving them to your Mac with OS X v10.8 or later. For instructions, use go to the Finder on your Mac, choose Help > Help Center, then search for “save documents.”

How can I remove old devices from my iTunes-Mediathek?

How can I remove old devices from my iTunes-Mediathek?

That's a very general question, so here are two documents from Apple for using automatic syncing and manually managing content.
Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
Manage content manually on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod - Apple Support
If your question is actually about removing content (you know how to add content), you are probably using the manual method to add content, and don't know how to manually remove content. For iTunes 12, on the horizontal bar that goes across the iTunes window (near the top), click the Music button near the left end. Near the middle of same bar, click Playlists. The sidebar appears along left side of window and Devices, your iPod is listed. Click the small triangle to the left of the iPod's name, to drop down its content list (indented below iPod). Click Music there. To the right, the list of songs on the iPod is shown. Select the song you want to remove and press Delete on the keyboard. You can do this with one or more songs selected.
You can also use the iPod's "management" screen. Select the iPod in iTunes, so that you see its Summary settings screen. In the sidebar, under On My Device, click Music. This is the same as on the "content list" described above.

I want to remove old devices from itunes

There is nothing to remove, as the only thing left would be device backups, which are not stored in iTunes. If you want to delete old device backups: iTunes>Preference>Devices...delete the backups here.

Cannot delete old sessions from SM35 - Batch Input...

Cannot delete old sessions from SM35 - Batch Input...
We have an issue, we are trying to delete old batch input sessions via SM35 and no
matter how hard we try we cannot get rid of them. They are still in status "In Process" but they are status incorrect.
Those sessions have long finished and some are more than 5 years old.
We have tried running rsdbcreo and RSBDC_REORG but it only returns with
Temse Error, running SP12 does not list any inconsistencies. Basically we want all jobs in SM35 that ran this year only available in the SM35 queue, we have sessions that have run from year 2004 to 2008 we wish to
delete.
Anybody experience anything similar or have any advice, sorry this is an environment that i have inherited and wish to cleanup.
We have checked the following notes 706478,76422,706478,76422 and many more.
Thanks

When you try to delete, you will be asked whether you want to delete logs too.
Here try with 'No'.

You can use these steps to delete a playlist from an iPod nano (7th generation):

1 On the Home screen, tap Music > Playlists.
2 Flick down, then tap Edit.
3 Tap next to the playlist you want to delete, then tap Delete when it appears next to the playlist. If you tapped the wrong playlist, tap the one you want to remove.
4 Tap Delete, or tap Cancel if you change your mind.
5 When you finish, flick up, then tap Done (or swipe right to return to the Home screen if you cancel).

Apple automatically charged me for an iCloud upgrade on a device I do not own anymore or know of the current owner. Even though I deleted the device from my account I was still charged for a device I do not have anymore

Apple automatically charged me for an iCloud upgrade on a device I do not own anymore or know of the current owner. Even though I deleted the device from my account I was still charged for a device I do not have anymore. It's very difficult to get to talk to anyone from support. How can I be refunded?

Yes, assuming they are currently on the computer.
If the iPhone has been used as designed, contacts are either in a supported application on the computer or are synced to a cloud service.
Pictures would be copied to the comptuer regularly and then those desired to be on the device would be synced back.

Im trying to delete old messages from my iphone 4 but how can i view them on a computer to make it easier?

hi i have recently backed up my iphone 4 to do a wipe of my phone. i got all my info back on it but was wondering how can i view my messages on my computer so that i can delete old messages from months ago without actually having to delete the recent ones?

The backup includes text messages but they are stored in a format meant only for restoring back to the phone. There are 3rd party backup extractors that can view them. One of them is http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/ibackupextractor/
