Unregister iPhone/Remove Device from iTunes

If I unregister my iPhone through the Apple Support Profile will I lose my backup data?
Similarly, if I remove the device from my iTunes account will I lose my backup data?
I have already done the former but not yet the latter.  I am trying to get group messaging working on a new Android device but dont want to sacrifice all my iPhone backup data in the process.
Thanks for any advice.

Hi kellie929,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Your husband may have signed into the iTunes Store with his Apple ID. You may want to first click the Store menu in iTunes and see if you can choose Sign Out.
You can sign into iTunes with the right Apple ID by following these steps:
Using an existing Apple ID with the iTunes Store and Mac App Store

  • Remove device from itunes account

    My husband hooked his iPhone up to my computer in error. Now when I try to purchase music/apps from iTunes, his account comes up & I am asked to enter
    his password. I don't see his device listed on my iTunes account. How do I find it and/or remove it?

  • Removing device from iTunes account

    I am told you can only have a certain number of devices associated with an iTunes library. How do I remove devices I no longer own that are associated with my account (iPhone 4, iPod Classic)?

    This device is NO LONGER present in icloud.com, or my iTunes account.

    I think I've done everything correctly?

    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.

  • TS1814 I have purchased iPhone 3g device from my friend, I connected it to the iTunes to upgrade from 3.1 to 6.0 as many softwares were not being installed as iOS was not up to date. I upgraded but now I can not activate my device. What I should do now???

    I have purchased iPhone 3g device from my friend, I connected it to the iTunes to upgrade from 3.1 to 6.0 as many softwares were not being installed as iOS was not up to date. I upgraded but now I can not activate my device. What I should do now??? i am really feeling difficulty because i have been disconnected from the network.
    I am from Pakistan.

    The 3G cannot be updated to iOS6, it can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    Activation issues are generally the result of the device being hacked or jailbroken.

  • 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.

    I have a macbook white (Snow leopard), just started using mac, Is there anyway we can use the Iphone Apps( downloaded from ITune) on Mac, they are getting saved in Mobile applications and have ipa extension

    The operating systems for iOS devices and for Macs are completely different. Applications written for iOS won't run on a Mac no matter what fiddles you try with it. You can sometime extract data by opening the package, but it still won't do you any good. Look in the Mac App Store in your Applications folder to see if there are Mac versions or similar programs (iTunes login required).

    Hello adilx
    The only way to get passed that and to use that iPhone is to ask the previous owner to remove it from icloud.com in the Find my iPhone section.
    Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515
    If the previous owner is not present
    Make sure the device is powered on and connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network. Then contact the previous owner 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.
    Click All Devices to open a list of devices linked to their account, then select the device to be removed.
    Click the Erase button to erase all content and settings from the device. When prompted, don't enter a phone number or message. Click Next until the device is erased.
    When the erase is complete, click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from the account.
    After the device is erased and removed from the account, you can proceed with the device setup process.

  • Remove iPad from itunes

    I am trying to unlink/remove my wife's iPad from my iTunes account.  She has here own Apple account, but notice that some apps that I have purchased end up on her iPad.  How does someone delete/remove/unlink a device from iTunes?  I have opened my iTunes account, and there are only two devices listed, and her iPad is not one.  What else should I be looking for?
    Thanks,
    Anthonhy

    You can remove the songs right on the iPad. This will not delete them from iTunes on your computer.
    Launch the Music app and tap on Songs at the bottom. Swipe across a song in the list to bring up the red delete button. You can also tap on the Album tab at the bottom and tap and hold down on an album icon and the X to delete will pop up on the album. Tap the X to delete the album.

  • Remove device from apple account

    remove device from apple account

    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.
    If you want to do something else ... ?

  • Removing podcasts from iTunes 11.1 without removing subscriptions

    After recently upgrading to the newest version of iTunes and selecting the Podcasts item in the left column I selected to sync my subscriptions with my Mac after being prompted.  All of my podcasts now show up in iTunes, however I'd now like to turn this off as I never listen to them on my Mac and don't need iTunes keeping subscriptions up to date.  I haven't found a way to turn this off and when I delete a podcast from the "List" view in iTunes it also removes them in the Podcasts app on my iPhone.  How can I remove them from iTunes without affecting the ones that are on my phone?

    I'm having the exact same issue with this version of iTunes.
    I have podcasts dating all the way back to 2006, my library is unmanageable now.
    With a previous unrelated iTunes issue, the "repair" option in the "Add or Remove programs" (under Windows XP) fixed my problem but not this this time.

  • Removing songs from itunes without removing them from ipod

    Is it possible to remove songs from iTunes without removing them from iPod? When I attempt to delete songs from iTunes I get a warning that they'll be deleted from iPod as well. I've got Manually manage music and videos checked under Options in the Summary window.

    You can delete songs from your iTunes/computer hard drive after transferring them to the iPod, and for this you need to set your iPod to manage the iPod content manually.
    However, this is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.
    What if the iPod were lost/stolen/needed repair? Again, the music would lost. I strongly recommend a back up, and if computer hard drive space is in short supply, you should seriously consider an external hard drive. They are not expensive, and the cost is well worth it when compared to the loss of all your precious music.
    At the very least back up your music to either cd or dvd before deleting it, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See these about backing up media.
    How to back up your media in iTunes.
    Buegie's complete back up strategy.
    To move music from iPod to computer, check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    There is also CopyPod. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
