Serial Number Deactivation Required/Possible when Selling iPhone?

I'm selling my iPhone to my roommate. Do I need to deactivate the serial number before he can use? Can I deactivate? If so, how? Thanks!

Correct, take your SIM out before giving him phone. From there once he puts a new SIM of his in then the phone will consider itself new and use info from the SIM he put in.
You may want to at least reset all settings (somewhere in settings menu) to clear everything off before taking your SIM out. Not a big deal as once he syncs all will be erased but it will at least also reset all phone settings to default for him to decide what he wants to do.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • I got IME number and serial Number but tis numers when i type it to check my iphone site tell me its changed how to verify these numbers

    please help me to verify my IME / with Serial number to activate my phone

    My warranty will expire tomorrow. I waisted my time going there they pretend they were listening to me but they just want me to pay the replacement fee. So i ask them a question so basically said that the phone battery will not last that long not even a year of purchase? They said no "it depends how you use it" so where is the warranty taking place? And they also said that it has to be defective so thy can replace it. I replied yes my batter is defective. They said no. So just end up leaving because we were just going in circle. My phone looks brand new no ding or whatsoever. i guess their so called Warranty doesn't Exist.

  • Serial Number/Manufacture and Refurb Question for iphone 5

    I searched this site (and others) and couldn't find an answer for my specific serial number question so here it goes...I am selling my unlocked ATT iPhone 5 and as part of my sale, I would like to give the buyer the most information possible on my phone. I just got the phone 3 weeks ago from Apple as a replacement for the broken power button on my original phone since I was under warranty with Apple Care. I was trying to determine when the phone was manufactured and if it's refurbished so I went to the Chipmunk site that was suggested in many forums. http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html
    Based on 4 being the third number in my serial number, it's saying that it was manufactured in 2014, is that possible for an iPhone 5?
    I also received this piece of information from the report in Chipmunk:
    Factory: FF (Refurbished?)
    I'm thrown off by the "(Refurbished?)" part. What does FF mean, it's the first two letters in my serial number? 
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!

    Any iPhone or iPad charger should work with the iPhone 5.  There is something wrong with your charger.  If it is the one that came with the phone it is covered by the phone's warrantee.

  • Photoshop Elements Serial Number Deactivation Question

    I bought Photoshop Elements 8.0 a few years back and have been using it happily and successfully since. However, I have now run into a serial number activation problem that will not allow me to use the software. The error given is: "Our records indicate that this serial number has already been used to set up and activate Photoshop Elements 8.0 on two other machines, which is the maximum allowed."
    Of course, it is simple enough to deactivate a computer if that computer is accessible, but therein lies the problem. One of the two machines that is taking up my activations is my old Macbook, which experienced a total motherboard failure in March 2-13. I restored onto my new Macbook from a Time Machine backup, but when I did so, PSE required me to re-enter my serial number. This was easy enough, but it considers this new Macbook to be a third activation and thus will not allow me to use the software. And, of course, given that my previous Macbook is dead and gone, I cannot access my old Macbook to deactivate the software there.
    What can I do to solve this?
    Computer specifications: Macbook Pro, 15" (bought 2013). Mac OS X Version 10.8.5. 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 processor with 8 GB of RAM. The software is Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0

  • Final Cut won't open, says identical serial number running on network when it's not

    I've been running my Final Cut Pro version 6.06 on my Mac 0S X (v. 10.7.5) for years without an incident. This is the only machine it's installed on. I left a project open overnight, and when I came to it this morning there was an error: This application cannot continue because another application with an identical serial number is already running on another computer on your network.
    The project then closes and everytime I try to reopen, the same error appears. If anyone can help fast I would appreciate it.
    Again, this is the only computer running Final Cut Pro under my serial number, so I'm truly baffled as to why this problem came out of the blue. Restarting the computer's not helping. The only way I can use Final Cut right now is by disconnecting to the Internet.

    I tried the preference manager (thank you, good program to have) but in this case it didn't do the trick.
    I'm on a desktop PowerMac connected to a router via Ethernet. Every other device is connected via wifi, including my iPhone, iPad, my wife's laptop, her iPhone, and her iPad. None of these other devices have anything related to Final Cut installed on them, which is why this is so baffling. Plus this problem literally came out of nowhere.
    I'll still try disconnected each device one at a time...

  • Charger with serial number A1300 is not working for iPhone 5, is it?

    I have an issue charging my new iPhone 5. I bought an extra cable - and they seem to both work when pluggin it into any computer. But one of my chargers will not work with it - but it works if I plugin my iPhone 4. How come? I noticed that the serial number is A1300. I borrowed one from a friend with serial number A1400 - and that worked (with the same cable).
    can I conclude that chargers with serial numbers A1300 don't work for iPhone 5?

    Any iPhone or iPad charger should work with the iPhone 5.  There is something wrong with your charger.  If it is the one that came with the phone it is covered by the phone's warrantee.

  • HT1937 with a serial number can i tell if my iphone is sim free or not?

    i bought 2 iphone from some guy and he told me that they are sim free
    when i put in the sim back then its showed me that there is a bar of signals, but then i saw that i need to do activition also.
    its mean that the iphone is lock or not ? sim free or not?
    or the signals dont have any connection to that.
    any way what i need to do?

    No. You can not tell  by the serial number or the model number. You can call Apple care and they may be able to tell you.
    They are most likely a)stolen, b) hacked, c)carrier locked, or d) some combination of these.
    What did you think you were going to get buying iPhones from "some guy". You're lucky that he didn't just knock you upside the head with a brick and take your money.

  • Can I use the same serial number for master suite when reinstalling after clean install of windows 8

    I am reinstalling windows because windows got corupted. I can not access my computer to deactivate the software.  Do I need to be worried about not having deactivated it? I will be reinstalling mastersuite 6 after I get windows 8.1 clean installed on the same computer. I just want to make sure I will not have any problems reinstalling and setting up the adobe mastersuite after I have installed windows 8.1. I don't want to have a problem with the serial number still being registered to my old installation of windows that will have been on the same pc.
    Thanks for your help!

    Your previous activation will still be in the loop, so you should contact Adobe support and ask them to reset your activations.  That way you can be sure you have the two your license allows for.  You can always skip this if you only activated once before but it will leave you with no extra activation should you find a use for a second installation.

  • My serial number is not accepted when upgrading

    Came into this late. I am trying install the CS6 upgrade we were offered when we bought CS 5.5. Now the 5.5 I am upgrading was on an upsell path from CS2. My problem is it will not accept the same serial I used to upgrade to 5.5 - do I have to uninstall 5.5 for 6 to work with the purchased 5.5 key?

    Branching this to a separate discussion.
    Mombo are you trying to install CS6?  If so then you should be able to enter your CS5.5 as a qualifying previous version.  You will want to first enter your CS6 serial number before entering the CS5.5 serial number.
