Re: Question about removing AirPods from one's Apple ID

2019-08-30 Thread Robin Frost

Hi Anna,
Thanks as always for being so kind as to respond. Yes in my experience I was 
told to tell all devices to which they were connected to forget them then press 
the button on the back of the case for approximately 8 seconds to get them back 
into pairing mode and then remember to rename them once paired with the new 
device under their more info button in bluetooth devices.
Take good care.
Robin

Hi robin,

I think you just have to tell one of your devices to forget them, and they are 
removed from your account.

Best,
Anna

  Thanks for any light you could shed on this for me.

Re: Question about removing AirPods from one's Apple ID

2019-08-30 Thread Robin Frost

Hi,
Oh dear I must respectfully disagree with the assessment. While yes the 
explanation is clear the execution thereof when VoiceOver is in play is not so 
as you can’t swipe left on them as confirmed by the Apple Accessibility team. 
But as others have said the alternative is to go into bluetooth under settings 
tell a device or all devices to which they’re connected to forget them. But 
then you have to press the button on the back of the case for approximately 8 
seconds to get the airpods into setup mode again and pair them to the new 
device. However, once that’s done there’s one more step. You must locate the 
airpods under bluetooth devices on the newly paired device double tap on more 
info and rename them other wise they’ll retain the name they originally bore 
when paired with their first device.
I hope that helps.
Robin (who now knows more about this topic than I ever thought I would in the 
name of being generous and giving mine to a friend)

https://support.apple.com/kb/ph19302?locale=en_US . seems to make the process 
clear in the Apple supported fashion. Summary: put the airpods in their case:

  1.. Sign in to Find My iPhone on this device with your Apple ID (the one you 
use with iCloud).

  2.. In the Devices list, swipe left on the device, then tap Remove.

If your Apple Watch or AirPods come online again, they reappear in Find My 
iPhone. If the device reappears, unpair it in Bluetooth Settings on all of your 
devices.

I suspect that pairing the airpods with some other account would be helpful ... 
so if you are doing the transfer to someone else, while your phone is off (or 
you've bluetooth unpaired it with your phone) having them press the "re-pair" 
button the case and take over the airpods that might obviate the need for 
unpairing with all devices. Those of us who have paired to a bevy of our apple 
family products ... can't easily test the "deactivate from findmyiphone") 
because any powerup finds *some* bluetooth device of ours ;>

Question about removing AirPods from one's Apple ID

2019-08-29 Thread Robin Frost

Hi
I thought I’d read somewhere that if you wanted to give your AirPods to someone 
or sell them you couldn’t just tell your device to forget them you had to 
remove them from find my iPhone.  I’ve tried both on the find my iPhone app on 
the phone and via the iCloud.com site using both JFW and NVDA from the Windows 
side as I don’t have a mac and so far I’m coming up empty.  Is any part of this 
process accessible in any way to us?
