How can I turn off "find my ipad" to restore to factory settings if screen is not working?

How can I turn off "Find My iPad" to restore to factory settings if screen is not working? I can't get access to the apps on my mini pad. I can see the device when I'm in iTunes.

Try resetting the iPad by holding the home and power keys down until the Apple logo appears.

How can i turn off Find My iPad without using the iPad?

My swipe screen has stopped working completely on my iPad. Very disappointing as it is only 18 months old and has been well looked after! I have tried holding down the off/on button and menu button to reboot but this doesn't work. I have now logged the fault with Apple and have an appointment to see someone in the support team this Monday. However, I wanted to try one more thing. I want to restore to factory settings as I've read that this could resolve the problem. When I plug it in to iTunes and try to restore iPad i get a warning message telling me I need to go to iCloud settings on my iPad and turn off Find My iPad before restoring. As I cannot use the iPad I cant do it from there. Is there another way? Please help me, I want to weep!

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.

Do you mean restore the backup to the broken phone? I suppose you could, as well as restoring to a new device, if you have made a backup.

Forgotten iPad Passcode after IOS 7 upgrade. Locked out, can't turn off Find my IPad to reset i Pad, Forgotten iPad Passcode after IOS 7 upgrade. Locked out, can't turn off Find my IPad to reset i Pad

iPad upgraded to IOS7. Passcode was asked. I have totally forgotten the passcode. Connected the iPad to my computer for a reset, but window popped up saying to turn off Find my iPad in Settings. How can I do this, when I'm locked out ?

For all of those who are still searching, here's what I did:
You need to get into "DFU mode".
In order to do this, you
1. must have synchronised your ipad with itunes before it was blocked
2. first connect your iPad to iTunes and there make a backup of your iPad
3. turn off your ipad and wait at least 5 seconds
4. connect your ipad to itunes
5. turn it on again, this time pressing Power and Home button at the same time and holding them for EXACTLY 10 seconds
6. let go of the Power button while still holding the Home button for EXACTLY another 10 seconds.
7. Your screen must be black now. There must NOT be a picture of a USB cable on the screen because that would be a different mode than the DFU mode.
8. Itunes tells you that your device is in DFU mode
9. Go to the "summary" tab in itunes and click restore iPad
10. itunes gives a warning that all data will be deleted and your iPad will be reset to factory settings.
11. You accept and click through the process
12. In the process, you may reinstall your backup. The password will not be reinstalled.

As stated in the support article, you can do this from any computer.
Use Find My iPhone
If you enabled Find My iPhone, you can use it to erase your device.
Go to icloud.com/#find to see if you enabled Find My iPhone.
Click All Devices at the top of your browser window.
Select your device and click "Erase [device]" to erase your device and its passcode.
Use the Setup Assistant on your device to restore the most recent backup of your device.
Use recovery mode
Follow these steps if you never synced your device with iTunes, if you don't have Find My iPhone set up, or if you can't get to your own computer. You'll need to put your device in recovery mode, which will erase the device and its passcode. Then you'llrestore your device as new or from a backup.
Disconnect all cables from your device.
Turn off your device.
Press and hold the Home button. While holding the Home button, connect your device to iTunes. If your device doesn't turn on automatically, turn it on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode.
Click OK, then restore the device.

it pops up a finder window just select the firmware u downloaded
and let the magic happen
afterwards u can sync but don't restore from a back up it locks ur phone again

How can I turn off messages on iPad while students are at school

Is there any great way to turn off messages on the ipad without shutting down the ports required to connect to Apple on the firewall? Kids will be kids but teachers are pressing administration for solution. If you shut off messages, I may be mistaken but you can't restrict the kid from turning it back on correct?

If you own/control the iPads that run iOS 6, you can turn off Messages via Apple Configurator or an MDM solution and the students would, to the best of my knowledge, not be able to turn that back on without knowing the Restrictions passcode. For personally owned iPads, the only way to block Messages would be to block the ports at your router. Messages uses port 5222, so if you block that port, that should block the transmission of messages, though the students will still try. For more information on ports, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4245
Of course if the student has a cell connection on a personally-owned device, there won't be any way you can block the sending of messages at all.
Regards.
