Unlinking an iphone 5 from icloud when I no longer have the phone

I need to unlink an iphone 5 device from my itunes / icloud account - it is a phone I purchased second hand from ebay, which i set up and registered itunes / icloud from the start up menu, but I had to send the phone back as it was faulty, however the owner is saying they need it unlinked from my itunes / icloud account as they cannot use it until this is done. How do I remove the device from my itunes account when I no longer have the phone in my possesion ?

  • How can I remove iPhone from iCloud when I no longer have the phone?

    I switched to a Samsung S4 from my old iPhone 4S, but now I can not get text messages from any of my contacts who have iPhones.  One thing I read to do/try was to remove my iPhone from my iCloud, but I no longer have the phone...how can I do this from my iPad?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    iOS has got Messages app, which uses iMessage to send and receive messages. iMessage can only be used in iPhones, iPads, iPods touch and Macs, not on your Samsung Galaxy phone.
    You need an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac to remove your iPhone's phone number from Messages. After getting one, open Settings > Messages > Send and Receive, and remove your phone number. After doing this, when one of your contacts choose your phone number in Messages app, it will send a SMS instead of an iMessage

  • Disassociate Company iPhone from iCloud when I don't have the phone anymore.

    Left company need to turn off the iCloud and delete backups so . I no longer have the phone and Have a NEW iPhone different Apple ID now.

    You just need to remove your account? Your question isn't to clear. But if you mean you just need to removed your information and such from that account you need to have your password and ID. So heres what you have to do... This is if you have iOS 7, I believe it is pretty similar with iOS 6.
    1. Go into settings..
    2. Go to iCloud
    3. Scroll all the way down and you'll see Find my iPhone, you're going to want to turn that off.
    4. After you turn that off you can delete your account
    Both times iOS 7 asks you for your password each time for the account. So make sure you have that! And on a side note, make sure that you turn off the "Find my iPhone" feature. It is very important that you do that if you are planning to sell it or your work needs the phone back. The reason is if the feature isn't turned off and you don't remember the password for your iCloud account, it is nearly impossible to reactivate the phone because your iCloud account is permanently linked to it. This makes it like I said, just about impossible for someone else to use the phone. It is one of Apples best security features and honestly it works fantastically.
    Next if you want to completely erase the iPhone all together so that you have no information on it you do the following
    1. Settings again.
    2. Go to General
    3. Scroll all the way to the bottom and select reset.
    4. You're going to want to select "Erase All Content and Settings"
    5. iOS 7 should inform you that doing this will erase all content on your iPhone. You're going to want to select yes, then I believe it will ask you once again for your iTunes account password. Put it in and it will start to reset and erase your iPhone.
    After that you should be in the clear, just make sure you post any other questions. I'm not the best Apple enthusiast here but I do know most of my stuff very well. Other people may know some things I might not. Hope I helped! Good Luck!

    De-authorise all, then authorise the one you still have.

    Probably safer than giving them the IMEI number.
    Just use a buyback service like Glyde or Gazelle.

  • HT201318 How to downgrade when you no longer have the Iphone

    I no longer have my Iphone and need to cancel my storage how do I do that? Which means I now longer have the serial number. Help!!

    If you're signed into your iCloud account on your computer, you can downgrade from there.  Otherwise contact the Apple online store at the number shown on the bottom of this page.  They process storage upgrade refunds and should be able to help you with this.  Also, if you ever need to find your serial number and have ever synced your phone with iTunes, you can find it by doing the following:
    Launch iTunes on your computer.
    Hold down your Control key, then on the menu bar in iTunes click iTunes>About iTunes (Mac) or Help>About iTunes(PC).
    Any previously synced devices will scroll in a pop-up window; press the space bar to stop scrolling so you can write down the serial number.

  • TS5185 I need my number deleted from imessage . I no longer have the Iphone , I switched to a different phone .

    I need my number from imessage but don't have the phone anymore , any help ?

    Okay? I asked a simple question because I wasn't understanding. I never said I wouldn't contact Apple Support only that it was a hassle. A simple question that didn't need to be answered with attitude. Have a good night and thank you for the help.

  • How do I access my iWeb website when I no longer have the original iWeb program it was published with?

    Last Fall, my '06 iMac was vandalized and destroyed unexpectedlyl. Since then, I have'nt been able to access my only website, which was published through iWeb. My new iMac does not have iWeb.
    How can I access my main website published through the old iWeb? I must transfer my domain name/site to a new web host and build a new site. My website is out of date and must be updated/replaced asap. Please help.

    To edit your website, you need the domain.sites file iWeb uses to store its assets.
    You also need iWeb.
    If the file is missing and you have no backup, you'll have to start from scratch.
    Perhaps you still have the iLife install disks.
    And browse this forum to learn how to get a copy of iLife. It's often discussed.

  • How can I get rid of app upgrades, when I no longer have the app?

    How can I get rid of app upgrades , when I no longer have those particular apps?

    If the app is no longer installed on the iPad then you should get prompts about updates to it in the App Store app - as efectively there is nothing for it to update. If you are being prompted to download updates to them then are you sure that they are no longer on the iPad ?
    If you are being prompted on your computer's iTunes then if you delete them for the App part of you computer's Library then you shouldn't be prompted about them.

  • How do I severe my iPad from my iCloud when I no longer have my iPad?

    Hi! Recently my brother was in the hospital for a while. I loaned him my iPad to play games on. I ended up just telling him to keep it. I did not turn anything off on the iPad (because I wasn't yet to the point I wanted to murder the iCloud). Anyways, I remembered to change my email password, but that is it. I am now getting his photographs on my PhotoStream. I am also worried he might be able to see my iMessages and my photos. The option to have him turn off iCloud is the last case scenario. He wouldn't know how to do it, it would get awkward when I told him why I needed it turned off ect...I need to know how to turn off these features or somehow severe the iPad from the iCloud. I changed the iCloud password, thinking this would knock the iPad photo streaming off, but I got back up here today and saw another photo. I considered just deleting my iCloud, but that would mean the iPad would still be tied to my apple ID...so I am not really sure how to do this, if anyone could help, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

  • How can i continue my icloud keychain on my ipod if i no longer have the phone number from my iphone5c?

    How can I get my icloud keychain to my ipod if I no longer have my iphone 5c

    If you have iCloud Keychain set up on another device, you can update your SMS number via that other device in order to verify your new device.  If you do not have another device available or you do not have an SMS capable number, you will need to contact Apple for identity verification in order to bypass that phone number authentication. See below.
    Get help using iCloud Keychain
    I'm not receiving the verification code via SMS.
    Make sure that you have a strong cellular network connection on your phone.
    Make sure that your phone number can receive SMS messages. You can do this by asking someone to send you a text message.
    Make sure that the correct phone number is associated with your account:
    iOS 7.0.3 or later: Tap Settings > iCloud > Account, then tap Keychain. Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
    OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later: Choose Apple () > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account Details. Make sure the phone number listed under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
    If you can't access a device that has iCloud Keychain enabled, you can contact Apple Support and verify your identity to get help completing iCloud Keychain setup.
