Remove old iPhone from iCloud "devices"

I traded in my iPhone 5 for a 6plus. Erased the old phone before bringing to Apple. It's still listed on my iCloud account (iCloud.com/settings/my devices. There's no delete button or any way to remove from there. Any ideas? (It also shows my old MacBook, which I still have access to.)

Searching the net I found no reliable solution to this.
Login into to your actual Itunes program on your PC.
Go to your account
Then you select "Manage Devices" under the second section in "Itunes in the cloud"
You can then remove the device from the account.

Remove old iPhone from iCloud

So I logged into iCloud from Safari and saw that my old iPhone 5 was still listed as a device. I erased and removed this as far as I can tell. Any idea how to remove this device permanently from iCloud? I can't seem to find an option in iCloud to do this anymore.
For the record, I removed the iPhone from iTunes authorized devices and disabled Find My Phone before erasing it.

If you still have the old phone, set it back up as a new device, sign into your iCloud account, then sign back out. That should remove it. (I know, erasing it should have done that already, but apparently it doesn't.)

Welcome to the Apple community Pavinee Supajilt.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

I accidentally removed my iPhone from manage devices in my iTunes account. How do I get back on as a device to use my account?

I accidentally removed my iPhone from manage devices in my iTunes account. How do I get my iPhone 5s back on as a device to use my account?

Hi jakefrombishop,
If you changed that old ID to your current ID using Manage your Apple ID, try the following to see if it will accept your current password:
1.     Go to Manage your Apple ID and sign on with your current Apple ID and password. EDIT the ID and change it to the old email address. This is temporary. Do NOT verify it, do NOT change the password: Apple - My Apple ID
2.     Now on the iPhone, where it is asking for your password to turn off Find My iPhone, type in your current password
3.     Go back to Manage your Apple ID and sign on with the old email address and your current password. EDIT the Apple ID back to your current email address. You may need to verify it again.
Fingers crossed!

I have removed my iPhone from icloud and it is no longer on the device list however I can still see it in icloud settings

I have taken my smashed (unusable) iPhone into apple for repair today and followed their instructions beforehand, removing the phone from icloud through my PC. However the guy at apple could not do anything as he said it was still connected to i cloud. On checking my account, my phone is no longer on the device list but can still be seen in icloud settings. He was stumped and asked if I had set up another apple id and maybe forgotten about it (I definitely haven't, I've had the same account for 6 years,) his other explanation was a technical glitch. I'm now stuck with a broken phone and a £60.00 a month bill and also pretty annoyed about the wasted 3.5 hour round trip. Any ideas please? It would be much appreciated

Hello
Try restoring the device and setting up as new.
If it is still shows an iCloud activation lock, then it's on an iCloud account
The wrong device was removed from an iCloud account.
Check any other Apple IDs you might have at
iCloud.com
Get signed into them and remove that device.
I wish this was the first time I seen this.
Best of Luck

Remove old iPhone from Device List in Colorsync Utility?

Does anyone know how to remove an old iPhone (that I no longer have access to) from the Device List in Colorsync Utility? I've done a spotlight search for the text and have come up empty handed. It must be hiding in a plist somewhere...but where?

It seems that the device list is stored in a hidden preference file. You can delete the file, or you can edit it with a free application called "PrefSetter." Deleting it would be easier, but you'll have to recreate some of your settings in System Preferences.
Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
rm Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist

How can I upload the photos that I made an my old iPhone from iCloud to my new iPhone?

ICloud configures the new photos that I make with both my iPhones to both of my iPhones, but I don't get the old ones on my old iPhone to my new iPhone. Can't I just make sure all data from both my iPhones are put together on my new one, so I can stop using my old iPhone? The calendars are put together and my music and all, but the photos and notes not.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Only photos taken after Photostream has been enabled will be added to Photostream. If you want to move the photos from your old phone to your new one, you will need to do it manually.

How do I remove my old iPhone from "Find My iPhone"?

How do I remove my old iPhone from the device list?

From the Help files in the app . . .
Remove Device
If you’re no longer using an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that was set up to use Find My iPhone, you can remove it from Find My iPhone when the device is offline (turned off or not connected to a data network, such as EDGE, 3G, or Wi-Fi). To remove the device, you need to sign in to me.com on a computer.
To remove your device from Find My iPhone:
On a computer, sign in to MobileMe Find My iPhone at me.com/find using your Apple ID email address and password.
If you’re a paid subscriber, your Apple ID is your MobileMe email address (@me.com or @mac.com) and password.
If you set up Find My iPhone on more than one device, click the device you want to remove in the Devices list on the left.
Click the blue arrow to the right of your device’s name (or, if the device hasn’t been located recently, the red clock ).
In the device window, click Remove (to the right of the device name).
The Remove link appears after Find My iPhone has tried and failed to connect to your device. This may take a few minutes.
When asked to confirm if you want to remove the device, click Remove.
If your device goes online again later and is still set up with your MobileMe account information, the device automatically reappears in Find My iPhone. If you still have access to the device, you can prevent it from reappearing in Find My iPhone by removing your MobileMe account information from the device. Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > [YourMobileMeAccount], and then tap Delete Account.

Can't remove old episodes from iPod sine Update!

I have a Shuffle & usually carry 3-5 episodes each of 8-10 different podcasts. Sine installing the new iTunes for Windows, I can't remove old eps from the device, & it's a total crapshoot as to which NEW episodes the system will allow me to click on!!
HELP!!!!!!

There are several ways to add podcast episodes to the shuffle, so please correct my assumptions in a reply. How you add podcasts determines how you remove them. I can't tell how you do it from the info you provide.
It sound like you may add podcast episodes manually (drag and drop to iPod). If you do, and your shuffle is 3rd or 4th (current) gen, you should consider doing it using automatic syncing, by putting podcast episodes on a playlist (in your iTunes library and syncing it to the shuffle). Update the playlist at any time, by adding new podcast episodes and removing old ones (the shuffle does not need to be connected). Put the podcast episodes in desired order. iTunes automatically updates the shuffle the next time it is connected (or by clicking Sync if already connected). On the shuffle, you can listen to podcasts from that playlist, and hear episodes from different podcasts consecutively, in the desired order.
When you remove podcast episodes manually, is this the way you do it? Again, this is for 3rd or 4th gen shuffle. Select the shuffle in iTunes, so that you see its "management" screen. In the sidebar, under On My Device, click Podcasts. To the right, the podcast episodes currently on the shuffle are shown. Select the one(s) you want to remove an press Delete on the keyboard.
