Switching off imessage for my number (no longer have an iphone but kept the same number)

Hello
I have recently transferred my number from an iphone4 to a Samsung phone.
I am unable to recieve text messages from anybody using an iphone
I have looked on the internet and found plenty of info on how to do this before the number transfers but no idea how to do it after the transfer.
I rang apple support and they are requesting a £25 charge before I can even get through to an advisor.
Is there anywhere I can email/call to get my number de-registered with apple?
Thank You
Natalie

ask for account security and tell them you need your # disassociated from iMessage.

One thing you can try
Turn iMessage off on your phone
Reset your phone - no data loss
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Then activate iMessage and start a new conversation and see what happens

I have 2 iphones registered under the same appleID. Every text message that is sent to my phone, the other phone receives as well. If I turn "imessage" off on the other phone, will this solve the problem from her receiving text messages meant for me?

I have 2 Iphones, registered under the same AppleID. Mine, and my mom's. I recently (today) did the software udate for her phone, and ever since-she receives every message i send to my girlfriend, and every response that my girlfriend sends to me. I read up on Imessage, and checked the settings on both phones. On each phone "imessage"was turned on, so i turned Imessage off. Will this solve the problem of my mom receiving every message that i send and receive? Also, if i turn Imessage back on, on my phone-will i still have privacy to text?

Why not create a second Apple ID? Wouldn't that solve the problem much more straightforwardly?

We have 2 iphone 5s sharing the same apple ID. When browsing Safari on one phone it automatically sends a link to that page to the other phone. How do we turn this off please?

It sounds that you are running the same iCloud account with two phones. I recommend you to create a different iCloud account and you should be all set.

I have an ipad&iPhone but used the same iCloud account for both during setup.i now have ran out of iCloud storage!

I have an ipad&iPhone but used the same iCloud account for both during setup.i now have ran out of iCloud storage! If I delete the account from iPhone will I lose the apps from my ipad?
And will new account that i set up on iPhone give me 5gb storage? I assume its not as easy it sounds, it never is!
It is the camera roll on both devices that are using the storage up, and I know I can transfer the photos to a hard copy, which I will but if I can get 5gb from two separate iCloud accounts then that's the route I will take!
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Ps I had originally synced the iPad and iPhone but as far as this apple illiterate operator is aware I managed to stop them syncing a few months at lol.thanks

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I assume that the same account is required on both devices (it would be rather awkward otherwise) and that most of your space is consumed by back up.
You will need to buy more storage or back up to iTunes instead of iCloud.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

What do you mean forget your phone? iTunes will still function just find without the phone. I'm not sure what you want it to do.

TS4036 How do I access content that has been backed up to iCloud? I no longer have an iphone, but want to access the music/pictures I've stored to the cloud. When I logged into iCloud, there was no tab or option to view store content. Please help.

Without an iPhone or iPod Touch to restore the backup to, you cannot access the camera roll photos stored in the iCloud backup. Signing into the account on your computer and enabling photo stream will only allow you to access photo stream photos from the last 30 days, and any shared stream you were subscribed to.
You can redownload purchased music in iTunes on your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.

I no longer have my iPhone, but I need to un-encrypt it how do I do that?

I have a new samsung phone and I want to transfer some of my music to my new phone, however it tells me that my itunes in encrypted to my old iPhone and I need to unencrypt it. How do I do that if I no longer have the iPhone?
Please help someone

I also have had iPhone's for many years and when you plug your phone into your computer and iTunes comes up on the main page toward the bottom where your you back up your Iphone there is an encryption that you set up with a password.
Maybe you never set up this encryption before, but it is there.
I am using another program to transfer my music and it tells me that it can not do it because I need to turn off the encryption in iTunes, this only comes up when an iPhone is connected and since I no longer have my iPhone then the option is not there.

I switched to a galaxy s5 and no longer have my iphone, how am I supposed to turn off iMessage. I can't even contact apple since I no longer have the other phone

Yesterday I bought a new galaxy s5 as a replacement for so iphone 4. I did not turn off iMessage before I activated the new phone and sent in the old one. Now I can't receive any text messages from people with iphones. This is more than half of my contacts. I also can't even contact apple because to do so I have to have the serial number of my old phone. What am I supposed to do?

If we have 3 iPhones, and use the same iTunes for all content, should we use 3 Apple IDs and authorize for all 3 or just use 1 ID?

I want to enable us to share all apps, music, videos and photos, but enable each phone to keep its contacts and history separate. If I use 1 ID, all new purchases will go on the same credit card, which I'm not sure is ideal, but not horrible. Since we use the same computer and iTunes using only 1 appleID, and the phones are new to the equation since it was only iPods before, what is the best way to handle a family with 3 phones that can share all entertainment content, but not all phone-related stuff? I saw that you can use one AppleID for purchases, but another for iCloud. That may be the best solution, but I don't know enough about this yet to move forward yet- migrating from Android...
Appreciate the help.

Thanks for the help, but a follow up question now.
My iPhone won't arrive for a little while, but my wife already got hers and she wants to set it up now. Using my Apple ID for the purchases, if she starts setting hers up, can she change her iCloud ID to something else quickly? It keeps telling us that we have to sign in with the AppleID first.
Should we just set up an iCloud account via normal internet before trying all this via iPhone?

Adobe Premier Elements 13 Win 8.1 64 Will not open. I get the login prompt for editor and sign in but nothing else happens. I have uninstalled/reinstalled but get the same results.

Premier elements 13 will not open after logging in.

Let us go through the typical drill on your Premiere Elements 13 Window 8.1 64 bit issue, and then we can focus in more based on your replies.
1. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
2. Are you using a pen and tablet device or mouse?
3.According to the Device Manager/Display Adapters, what video card/graphics card does your computer use? How many cards, and is driver version
up to date?
5. Are you running the program as Administrator? Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer?
Please look at the following solutions for 12 to determine if they will work for you in 13.
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Premiere Elements 12 Editor Will Not Open
Have you tried to open the program by going to the Adobe Premiere Elements.exe file, right clicking it and selecting/applying Run As Administrator, and then double
clicking that file to open the program?
If none of the above works, then delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file in the path
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
13.0
and in the 13.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 13.0 Folder in which the
Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be making with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives enabled so that you
can see the complete path cited.
We will be watching for your results. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.
