  • Need to turn off iMessage for an iPhone that no longer works

    My daughter broke her iPhone and the motherboard is fried. We got her an Android as a temporary phone until she is due for an upgrade in a few months. The problem is that when we try to text her on the new Andriod, on our iPhones (and any other iPhone that tries to text her) it still sends as an iMessage. Therefore she cannot receive any texts from us unless we turn off our iMessage (which causes us not to be able to receive other iMessages of course!). We went to the Sprint store, and they told us that we would need to turn off the iCloud for her phone, since Apple is recognizing it as still on and associated with her number. I cannot figure out how to do that since we can't access the phone settings. She is traveling this week alone with other family and I really need to be able to text her! She is 12. I appreciate any help.
    This is an iPhone 4, with Sprint. We have 3 other iPhones, an iPod 4 and an iPad 2 on the same Apple ID account. We don't use the Cloud storage but I think the iCloud on the phone was turned on for a few things like Calendar.
    Thank you in advance.

    She would have had to register the phone using her Apple ID/password.
    Changing her Apple ID password is the only other way to fix this if you don't have access to the phone.
    You can also "try" calling AppleCare.

  • Is it possible to turn off my 4s without using the sleep/wake button?mine has broken but prefer to turn off overnight and when in work

  • Having to turn off imessage to text other iphone users?

    My friend who recently upgraded to ios7 has had to turn off iMessage in order to receive messages (texts) on her iphone; she could send messages, but she couldn't receive any from other iphone users. Her son, who has an Android phone could reach her before before she diabled iMessage, but anyone with an iphone she could not receive messages from. Has anyone else had this issue? If so, did you resolve it? How?
    Apple really released this ios before thoroughly checking it out. In the long run it will hurt them in the wallet.

    If you are talking about iMessage add an email address to Settings>Messages>Receive At that no one has in their contact for you, then change Settings>Messages>Receive At>Caller ID to that email.  Your iMessage will appear to them as this email address.

  • If I turn off iMessages on my iphone 5 and only use SMS, I am hoping this will this stop ALL my messages going to partners ipad? I only want 2 use SMS and not have any of my messages go to partners ipad so dont want to alter ipad settings.

    My situtation is this, my soon to be ex previously set up an ipad with both our numbers and we share a linked itunes/icloud account so if my phone is off he gets all my messages via his ipad that I DO NOT have access to his ipad at ALL. I can't set up my own itunes account (not yet until I leave him) otherwise he will know I am leaving him and it will cause major problems. So I was hoping that if I turn off iMessages on my iphone 5 and just talk to my family via SMS and NOT touch his precious ipad mini, that he wont be able to get my messages anymore and if I turn off iCloud storage and back up as well on my iphone only. Is this correct? Its just a temporary solution I am hoping. I have searched for days and hours and I just cant find this answer anywhere....
    Do I HAVE to turn off my phone number off or delete it on his ipad? I am really hoping I can just do this at my own end and not touch his ipad in anyway or have to change my itunes id YET. Once I leave him shortly, I will create a whole new ID etc.  I just wanna know if I can do this myself on my iphone only. Please any experienced help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so very much.

Its just a temp thing and I just want to take action myself on my own phone and want to know if this will work. Does anyone know?
    SMS messages will not go to the iPad Mini. It's not capable of receving them. If you have access and can do it without it causing a problem, remove your iPhone from the Apple ID Support profile:
    Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
    Log in if not already logged in.
    Click on "Edit Products"
    Click on the "X" to the right of the product.
    Click "Unregister"
    If anyone in your family uses iMessage, they will go to both you and your boyfriend unless you do that.
    To be completely safe, you may want to simply use an alternate message app such as Skype, Viber, Whatsapp (assuming everyone has a smartphone) until the issue is resolved. Google Voice will also allow you to send and receive texts to another number on your phone.
    Best of luck.

    Hi,
    Do you mean you are not getting SMS text messages now ?
    If so start here
    Follow the Account management options until you are offered and email contact.
    Explain the issue via email as only someone in Support can now remove your iPhone Number from iMessages if it has not "de-registered" itself correctly.

    TechCrunch posted a solution today that applies to this problem, I think.
    Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
    Click your old iPhone and "unregister" it.

  • I am trying to share calendars with my husband (using Google calendars). He can see my calendars, but I am having trouble seeing his. We both use iPhones.

    I am trying to share calendars with my husband (using Google calendars). He can see my calendars, but I am having trouble seeing his. We both use iPhones. We both have company email addresses. I have had to install and uninstall my gmail info on my iPhone multiple times due to errors sending and receiving emails from my company email address on my phone. For some reason, all of my emails are getting stuck in my outbox when my gmail account is installed on my phone. When I delete it, my emails get sent automatically. This is really annoying! I would do without the gmail account, but I need to share calendars with my husband. How do I fix this?

    If you have two-step verification turned on in your email account, you'll have to log in with a browser and turn it off.

  • I have an iphone 3gs the old battery was useless so i replaced it with a new battery but it wont hold a charge now it used to charge to old battery but would just turned off if disconnected to its not the dock connecter any advice

    i have an iphone 3gs the old battery was useless so i replaced it with a new battery but it wont hold a charge now it used to charge to old battery but would just turned off if disconnected to its not the dock connecter any advice

    Advice:
    1. Learn to use punctuation and sentence structure - your post makes little sense.
    2. I'm getting the idea you now want to use your old "useless" battery.  Why, if it's useless?

  • Can I Turn off iMessage in a group text with multiple people with different devices? There's 1 person in the group text that doesn't use iPhone anymore and they can't see any messages that are sent unless we send as regular text individually.

    Is there a way to turn off iMessage for a group text that includes multiple people with different non-apple devices? When a message is sent, only the iPhone users can see the iMessage. Those without them cannot see the texts unless we send individual Text Messages or turn off iMessage completely.

    now I have this and it still doesn't work.
