Remove device from apple account

remove device from apple account

Remove it from where on your account ?
If your support profile so that somebody else can register to their account then you can log in to this site and remove it : https://supportprofile.apple.com/
If from being associated to your account and it's been associated for more than 90 days then you can log into your account via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes and remove it : Manage your associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support
If you just want to use a different account in the store on it then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on it and log out. Any content downloaded by the currently logged in account will remain tied to that account.
If you want to do something else ... ?

    Hello Penng185,
    Steps to be done to remove the device from the previous owner's iCloud Account, if you have already done this things then there might be something that you might have missed due to which the iPhone is still showing the Find My iPhone Activation Lock screen.
    Resolution : http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4515
    If the previous owner is with you and can access the device
    Ask them to enter their Apple ID and password on the Activate iPhone screen (shown above) to remove the device from their account. You can then proceed through the rest of the device setup process.
    If the previous owner is not present
    Contact them and ask them to follow these steps to remove the device from their account:
    Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
    Choose the device from their Find My iPhone device list by clicking All Devices and selecting the correct device.
    Click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from the account.
    After the device has been removed from the previous owner’s account, turn it off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button located on the top right side of the device. Then restart your device and proceed with device setup as you would normally.

  • Remove device from iCloud account - without device

    I am seeing an old iPhone listed in my devices under iCloud > settings (on icloud.com).  I recently got a new iPhone and upgraded other devices to ios8.
    - I do not see this device in my list of devices under find my iPhone.
    - I not longer have this device as it was sent in for trade-in
         - Device was erased prior to being shipped back
    - backup of this device has been removed from icloud
    - I have logged out of iCloud and powered off all iOS devices which had this account on them
    - I have disconnected family sharing from this account
    - I have logged out of all accounts in iCloud settings
    (see screen shots of both screens)
    Any suggestion on how to remove this device?

    The same thing happened to me.
    Saturday I got an iPhone 6 and I traded in my 4S at Best Buy to get a gift card to use towards the 6. At the time of trade in, I turned off Find My iPhone and erased all the data on it.
    When I got home I went through everything to make sure it was removed from my account, but it still shows up under settings on icloud.com (nowhere else though). I spoke with Apple customer service and they said it was nothing to worry about, and that it would drop off there once someone used the device with another Apple ID.
    I am still a little concerned though, because I tried signing my 6 out of my icloud account just now, and it instantly disappeared from the device list in icloud.com's settings. My old 4S is still there, in the list that says "You are signed in and using iOS 8 on these devices"

  • Cannot remove device from Apple ID

    Hi, I upgraded from a 3GS to a 4S recently and I want to remove my 3GS device from my Apple ID. I understand in iTune, I have to go to Store -> View my account -> manage devices. However, I can't see "manage devices" option after going to View my account. I can only see "Deauthorise all". Can anyone help me on this? Thanks.

    Your a victim of Activation Lock. No one here can help you. Make an appointment at any Apple store.
    Good luck.

  • How can i delete an registered device from apple account.

    Hallo
    I registered 4 device to my itunes account sometime ago a got a virus in my network and i must re-install the operating System an all 4 devices....
    So now my question..
    How can i delete the now "not more available" devices from my apple/itunes account.
    Sorry for my bad english if it is possible you can also answer in german or in simple english
    thank you

    If your system crashes or you reinstall your operating system without deauthorising iTunes first, even a single computer can use up your limit of 5 authorisations. You can't deauthorise those dead installations individually. However once you've reached your limit of 5 you have the option to deauthorise them all in one go from your iTunes Store account and start over again. *Just note that you can only use this option once a year*: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation
    To deauthorise all computers associated with your account:
    1. Click iTunes Store in the Source pane.
    2. If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
    3. Click the Account button again (your ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
    4. In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.

  • Remove device from itunes account

    My husband hooked his iPhone up to my computer in error. Now when I try to purchase music/apps from iTunes, his account comes up & I am asked to enter
    his password. I don't see his device listed on my iTunes account. How do I find it and/or remove it?

    Hi kellie929,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Your husband may have signed into the iTunes Store with his Apple ID. You may want to first click the Store menu in iTunes and see if you can choose Sign Out.
    You can sign into iTunes with the right Apple ID by following these steps:
    Using an existing Apple ID with the iTunes Store and Mac App Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2589
    To use your Apple ID at the iTunes Store
    Open the latest version of iTunes.
    Choose Store > Sign In from the Store menu.
    Enter your Apple ID and password, then click Sign In.
    Click Review when asked to review your information.
    Enter your billing information, a credit card will be required.
    Click Continue when you're done entering your credit card and billing information.
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

    The person who sold you the device can remove the ID without giving it to you. Follow the steos in "What to do if you no longer have the device." In the artcle below. If you can't find the person or they won't do it you're stuck with a unusable device.

  • HT201441 Is it possible for APPLE to remove a device from an Account as an administrator?

    Considering that apple knows exactly what device is linked to what AppleID, is it not possible that if you bought a phone from ebay for example, and are unable to get hold of the original owner that Apple can get in touch with them and request they remove it from their account?
    Or perhaps if no response is given, remove it from the individuals account so that atleast it can be used?

    Ask for a refund from the eBay seller. If they refuse file a complaint with eBay.

    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
    If you cannot get this information from the seller
    Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.
