How to Turn Off Find my iPhone From Computer

How to Turn Off Find my iPhone From Computer


The Find my iPhone feature is used for locating lost devices and is automatically enabled by all iPhones running iOS 7. While the Find my iPhone service is a very helpful tool for those who have misplaced their iPhone it sometimes is a nuisance to disable. There is a setting under iCloud on the iPhone itself to turn off Find my iPhone, but there are other ways to disable the service from a computer.
One of the major reasons that a user may need to disable Find my iPhone is if they have forgotten the passcode to their iPhone. With the Find my iPhone service enabled there is no way for the user to restore their phone without first turning off Find my iPhone. Another reason that someone might need to disable Find my iPhone is if they gave the phone to a friend or relative and forgot to delete their data off it first.
By taking a few easy steps you can easily disable Find my iPhone from any computer. All that is required to disable the service is your Apple ID, and turning off the iPhone that you wish to remove from Find my iPhone.

How to Turn Off Find my iPhone

The very first step in disabling Find my iPhone is to turn Off  the device.
After the iPhone is turned off, go to iCloud.com and sign in with your Apple ID.
Enter Apple ID

After signing in, click Find my iPhone if you are not already on that page. Once there, select All Devices. 
Click All Devices

Under the All Devices tab, select the iPhone that you are planning to remove from the list. The device should appear offline, if the iPhone still appears online refresh the page and check that is the correct device you want to remove. After clicking on the iPhone from the list of devices, Click Remove From Account.
Remove From Account
Tap Remove to delete the iPhone from Find my iPhone in iCloud.
Remove iPhone

After the device has been removed the only your other devices that are online should appear in the Find my iPhone list, just like the image below.

It is important to note that after removing the device from Find my iPhone you can no longer track it unless the device comes back online. By removing the device you also cannot erase the iPhone’s data, or have sounds and messages sent to it. If you have restored your iPhone from a backup there may be additional iPhone’s in the all devices list, it is safe to remove them as long as they appear offline

Apple launches TD-LTE iPad Air and Mini for China

If you're living in China and missing out on the 4G action on your  iPad Air   or   Mini , the good news is that the TD-LTE model of both slates are   now available . Both the Air and Mini sport a different model number -- A1476 and A1491 -- and are meant to work on the China Mobile 4G network. Both TD-LTE slates will be sold alongside current  models  in China (which are actually the global versions and will work with most LTE networks around the world). The 16GB model of the TD-LTE Air and Mini will have the same starting price of 4,488 Chinese Yuan ($772) and 3,788 Chinese Yuan ($610) respectively. Outside of China, the TD-LTE Air and Mini will still be able to connect to 3G networks, but you likely won't be able to hop on a 4G network (unless it uses TD-LTE with the same bands). For those on a holiday in China and thinking of grabbing an Apple  tablet  to take home, be sure not to get the wrong model.

The three main ways to protect the data on the Nokia X smartphone is the screen security, encryption, and SIM card lock.
