Hello george14444,


After reviewing your post, it sounds like you need to remove a device from Find My iPhone not using the device. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.


iCloud: Remove your device from Find My iPhone


  1. Sign in to icloud.com/#find with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).

    If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.

    If you don’t see Find My iPhone on iCloud.com, your account just has access to iCloud web-only features. To gain access to other iCloud features, set up iCloud on your iOS device or Mac.

  2. Click All Devices, then select the device.

  3. Click Erase [device], then enter your Apple ID password. Because the device isn’t lost, don’t enter a phone number or message.
