Forgot to turn off find my iphone and reset phone

Didn't turn off find my iphone and sold my 5c. They reset the phone and now can't log out of my icloud on the phone. Tried resetting and now says verification failed an SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made. That comes up everytime I try to delete the icloud or log out, and now I tried to reset the phone again and comes up that message. I logged into icloud online and removed the phone from my icloud. Still nothing!!!

Try removing it at http://icloud.com on the computer.

  • Forgot to turn off FIND MY IPHONE before restoring to another iphone

    I restored all my data to my husband's iphone 5S after he got a new iPhone 6 but I forgot to turn off FIND MY IPHONE in my old device. Now I can't do it in the old device because the apple ID and other setting are associated with the new device.  The old device still contains info that I can't get at because of this.  HELP!

    remove it from your account by signing in to icloud.com/find, selecting the device, and clicking Erase. When the device has been erased, click Remove from Account. After you erase the device, you'll need to wait 24 hours before you can activate iMessage on your new device.

    Hello aweirandyski.1975,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From what you're describing appears to be Activation Lock, a security measure provided by Apple that makes it harder for people to use a lost or stolen device.  You will need to enter the password for the Apple ID the device is prompting you for.

    can not turn off find my iPhone after resetting my ipad. I reset my iPad and now the iCloud account is associated with an old account. How do  I associate iCloud with my proper appleID?

    I was able to restore my iPad using iTunes. Thanks for replying. I used the technique described here If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • How to turn off "Find my iPhone" for broken phone before passing it to repair services?

    My wife's iPhone 5 is broken (water damage) and would not even switch on.  We have an insurance, so it is going to be repaired.  However, the repair agency advised us that we have to turn off the "Find my iPhone" function for this phone before we pass it to them for repair.
    The problem is that the phone does not turn on at all, so there is no way to turn the feature off directly from the phone.  It was possible to remove it from iCloud, but from what I understand it still does not switch "Find my iPhone" off.
    Repair agency told us that we have to delete the Apple ID profile completely in order to make the phone repair-able.  Is that correct?  Is there no other way?  I am afraid that if we delete the Apple ID profile, then all the purchased apps will not be accessible any more.  Also this ID is in use by other devices (Mac Mini, iPad) so that's not exactly the ideal situation.
    Please advise.
    Thank you.

    I do suspect that they will not be really repairing.  However, I was told what I was told, and I just would not like to end up in situation when an iPhone gets comletely locked if they manage to fix it somehow but then it would lock-out because I did not remove it from "Find my iPhone".
    I could remove the phone from the account already (as the page you refer to suggests).  Will that be sufficient?  Erasing it is not possible because it is switched off.

  • Selling phone didn't turn off find my iPhone

    HI. Got a 6 and selling my 4S, so I reset it to factory and pitched the SIM card two days ago.
    IT's already updated to iOS 8.0.2.
    ignorant! Forgot to turn off Find my iPhone before reset. And I'm supposed to ship it across America tomorrow! The buyer would have a brick if he wouldn't have my iTunes password. Sure don't want to give that to a stranger!
    So, i went into iCloud.com and removed the phone from that account.
    Then I turned it on, went through the preliminary set up process, reconnected to wifi, but got an error message that i must insert a valid SIM to proceed. Staff at my local AT&T store said I don't need a sim; I just needed to get on wifi to get back into find the iPhone, turn it off, and good to go.
    What to do now? Only way out is buy a new SIM?
    Thanks for help!

    Thank you. I probably should have hit the Correct Answer button, but I haven't actually tested the solution by ensuring that the phone can be safey activated by the new user.
    For sure he must get his own SIM. I was just concerned that Apple's newest theft safeguards have added a new layer of tethering between icloud and a phone's hardware identity, such that, even though it's been erased successfully, it's still tethered to the old account and prevented from being activated with a new account unless find my iphone was formally turned off prior to erasure.
    Over worried. The 'tethering' just prevents the erasure in the first place. I entered the password back then already, so the phone should be good to go for the new buyer.
    Thanks again. This forum and you experienced people are a god-send.

  • I can not restore because I can not turn off Find my Iphone

    Hello,
    I'm using iphone 5 with ios 7. I just upgraded ios 7 today. after upgrade I realised that passcode was activated before upgrade I was not using that feature. I forgot my passcode so I got my phone disabled for a while. I searched the discussions and saw that I need to restore and then restore from back up to have the passcode to disable. When I try to restore my phone I got the below message:
    Find My iPhone must be turned off before “Jean” can be restored.
    Go to iCloud Settings on your iPhone and turn off Find My iPhone before restoring your iPhone.
    I can not turn off Find my Iphone because my phone locked and I forgot the passcode.
    Anyone can help?

    Follow the steps above to remove it from the account, but then
    "After the device has been removed from the 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. "

  • How can I turn off find my iPhone to restore when it won't let me into my phone settings.

    I went to use my phone last night and suddenly it says activation is required (which I'm not sure I understand alone) but I began to go through the steps and it says it can not activate because the beta has expired and I need to do a system restore. So I proceeded to do the system restore by plugging into iTunes and it tells me it  cannot do a restore unless I turn off find my iPhone but my phone will not allow me to look at any settings other than my wifi settings in its current state. How can I turn this off to proceed and what is going on with my phone in general?

    Force it into recovery mode to restore it as explained here: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.  Sometimes you have to do this more than once to be successful.  After restoring, you'll have to restore an existing backup, if you have one.

  • Didnt turn off find my iphone

    Hi! I used 2 accounts on my previous iphone. When I sold it, I turned off "Find my iphone" and erase all data with one account. However, it seems I can still see my iphone from icloud website using another account.
    So my question is, will my personal information get leaked?

    Okay I undertand your problem I think,
    On your computer, you write your password or it's save ?
    Maybe it's a false password that you write on your iPhone no ?
    Because you can sign in on your Computer but not in your iPhone.
