Remove device from my icloud

I am selling my iphone 5s. I have reset it and posted it on CL. Someone asked me today if it was locked by icloud. How can I tell if it is icloud locked and how do I unlock it. I know my Itunes user name and password.

Hi Kymera99,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you are going to sell your iPhone 5s and want to make sure it's not locked by iCloud. This feature is called Activation Lock, and it's enabled when you turn on Find my iPhone from the iCloud settings.
If you used "Erase All Content and Settings" from the Settings > General > Reset menu, then your device would be removed from your iCloud account. In this case, it would no longer be locked, as mentioned here:
Go to Settings > General > Reset, then tap Erase All Content and Settings.
This will completely erase your device, including any credit or debit cards you added for Apple Pay and any photos, contacts, music, or apps. It will also turn off iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, Game Center, and other services.
If you're using iOS 7 or later and have Find My iPhone turned on, your Apple ID and password will be required. After you provide your password, the device will be erased and removed from your account so that the next owner can activate it.
For more details about this and what to do before selling your iPhone, see this Support article:
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Best Regards,
Jeremy

How can I remove a device from my iCloud/Apple ID?

Hi,
I merged my dad's iphone to my Apple ID a while back because he wants to buy an app and I have some credit left over so I let him used my ID on his device. Apparently, all my contacts, pictures from photo stream, and ical are now also in his device. And all his contacts, pictures, and ical are on mines. How can I remove his device from my icloud and Apple ID WITHOUT deleting anything? Like I just don't want him to get anymore of my reminders and contacts, and pictures? Because I'm afraid taht if I remove his iphone on my icloud, all the pictures/contacts/ical that he took and went to my device too will be deleted because those are some important pictures/contacts/ical?
I tried to manually delete some of my dad's contacts that was shared on my phone, it turns out that it got deleted on his phone as well and vice versa. How can I just completely cut him off of my icloud and ID without losing any of my and his contacts/pics/etc?

How do I remove device from icloud it was traded in and wiped but still listed as a device

I Traded in my iPhone 5 at Verizon store on 9/20 for the iPhone 6 and watched the phone being wiped before heading home with new phone. However, when I checked icloud.com today it still shows the device in device list. Tried a find my phone but all that shows up is my iPhone 6 & iPad. Any idea how to remove device from iCloud!

The songs I don't want aren't checked and haven't been for a long time. You would think that would be the answer, but it isn't for some reason.Nothing has taken the songs away. Songs that I have deleted from iTunes and even the computer still stayed on the phone as well as songs that were NOT checked. In addition to albums I have NEVER downloaded... unless many, many, years ago and have no recolection of it. And they are NOT in my iTunes library or stored on the computer. And I don't have iTunes match. I've also restored the iPhone this afternoon. Still have the songs! And I haven't even signed into iCloud since the restore... which I lost all of my recent contacts during, but that was my fault for not checking to make sure I synced them before restoring.

The device is not with me. remove device from icloud account will enable new user to retrieve my data

The IOS device is not with me. By removing device from icloud account will enable new IOS device user to retrieve my data?

If you remove it from your account all of the data that is in the account will be removed from the iPad.

Remove device from iCloud

My iphone 4s was stolen from me the other day (technically I was robbed) and I wanted to remove it from my iCloud. I don't think I am getting it back, can't find with the find my phone app. I just don't want whoever it has to get my reminders, notes, and calendar stuff. Anyway I can disconnect it from my icloud? account?

The only way someone can actually access your information is by being online using the Apple ID associated with your iCloud. If you use find my iphone and set it to lock the phone/wipe the phone, That essentially stops them there. Whenever it connects to the internet to download all of your new reminders, notes and photos from photo stream iCloud will wipe it. Just to be safe you sould just change your password as it will then prompt then to enter the new password everytime they try to get the updated info.

Display shows previous owner set up find my phone function & it is linked to their apple account. Owner has removed device from a/c but

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.

How to remove device associated to iCloud

Hello,
when I was setting up an iPhone, I had the device set up initially with my iCloud however that device has been passed on to new apple ID, however under devices it comes up in settings on icloud.com and still associates itself with my account.
I have signed my apple ID out of the iPhone, and entered the new account on there too. However it still associates itself and such and doesn't seem to be able to be deleted from my iCloud account and I can't remove the phone number from that phone either.
Any suggestions?

Nothing, except "keep asking". Maybe you can return it.
In too many cases the "sellers who do not respond" stole the device.

Will deleting pictures from my photo stream on my phone remove them from my iCloud albums?

I am almost out of storage on my phone so I uploaded all of my photos to icloud and deleted them from my camera roll. They are all still in my photo stream though; is that taking up room on my phone? And if I delete them from my photo stream, does that remove them from my iCloud albums as well?

Hi kellyntherese,
Welcome to the Support Communities! Did you backup your iPhone to iCloud and or iTunes before deleting the pictures from your camera roll? Photo Stream is not a storage location. Do you have a Mac or a PC?

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4486
Does using My Photo Stream substitute for using iCloud Backup or iTunes to back up the photos in my Camera Roll ?
No. Photos in My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days. To save or back up these photos, you must copy them from My Photo Stream to your Camera Roll on your iOS device. You can then back up your Camera Roll using iCloud or iTunes.

My Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Sharing
You might already have a copy of the photos in My Photo Stream:
In OS X, My Photo Stream photos are automatically imported to your iPhoto or Aperture library, unless My Photo Stream and Automatic Import are turned off in iPhoto or Aperture preferences.
In iPhoto, check your settings by going to iPhoto > Preferences > iCloud.
In Aperture, check your settings by going to Apterture > Preferences > iCloud.
In Windows, My Photo Stream photos are automatically imported when My Photo Stream is turned on in the iCloud Control Panel.

In the future, you can import the pictures from your iPhone's camera roll directly to your computer, before deleting them from the device.

I have purchased second hand 5c and previous owner has not removed it from their icloud list

i have purchased a second hand iphone 5c.The previous owner has not deleted this device from their icloud and I have lost his contact details.Is there anyway that i can find these details out from apple so that i can contact him and have him delete this device from his list so that I can activate and use it.

Sorry, this isn't a reply. Just wondering.
What have you done since? I have the same problem with iPad I bought second hand from an individual. The seller won't give me refund or provide me previous owner's contact info. Apple Support told me to contact local police to locate the original owner so I did. Since police didn't have report for this iPad's serial number they won't handle this as theft. I live in Utah and the seller I met with told me he is from Northern India so who knows which country this iPad came from. I wish to let the original owner know i have his/ her missing iPad since Apple doesn't care about consumers once they sold their products.

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.

Remove devices from Device Security list in McAfee...

Hi there,
Does anyone know how to remove devices from Device Security list in McAfee Dashboard as part of BT Net Protect Plus? It's just there are devices that I no longer manage in the list as well as devices that either currently or no longer have BT Net Protect Plus installed. Your help would be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Paul

Hi rajinderpauluck,
Thanks for posting and welcome back!
Have a look at this link - I don't want BT NetProtect Plus anymore. How do I remove it?
You best bet, to completely remove those devices, is to run the BT NetProtect Plus removal tool which will remove all traces of it.
All the best,
Robbie
