My iphone 4s wilbecasue it says it needs activation (suddenly it needs activating). So i can get to general settings. Itunes says switch off find my iphone which i did in icloud, it will not let me switch off find my phone.
I tried resetting in general reset all settings, but no luck.
can anyone help
I'm also experiencing the same issue.
I've had to reset my password 3 times in the last 3 days.
At first, I couldn't get my email. I sweated it out for 12 hours, reset my password and I was good to go again. 48 hours later, I ran into the same issue. Only problem is, not only do I get the 'Incorrect username or password' on my device, but my iCloud.com login no longer works. so now I can't read my messages on the web OR on my device/computer.
I have went to appleid.apple.com and reset my password there: no luck.
I have reset the settings on my device: no luck.
I have Erase and Installed iOS 6.1.2: no luck.
I have restored my device back to factory settings: no luck.
I have performed a DFU restore: no luck.
This is my main account for, well everything.

IPhone won't turn on, can't restore because can't switch off find my iPhone
My iPhone won't switch on, past the apple symbol when pressing sleep/on and home button together. It will connect to iTunes but iTunes says it cannot restore without switching off find my iPhone. I tried deleting the app from the phone via iTunes but no success. Any ideas appreciated.
Google "iphone dfu mode".
Follow the instructions and restore it. -
I changed my Apple ID, now I can't login to iCloud because it still has my old Apple ID and the password no longer works to log me in. How can I get back into iCloud so that I can switch off Find my iPhone so I can make these changes? Thank you. (iPhone 4s)
Well, you're gonna have to recover the password for that Apple ID:

Restoring phone, need to switch off Find My iphone, but can't access phone
Whilst updating IOS7 my phone crashed. I reset it and successfully managed to restore to backup. Everything was working fine until it asked for a passcode. I entered the last passcode I was using but it won't accept it. I've tried to restore again however iTunes is telling me that Find my iPhone needs to be switched off before it will do the restore, and this is done via the settings on the phone - which I can't access because I don't know the passcode.
The Find My iPhone app has nothing to do with this. Deleting the Find My iPhone app which is used to find another iOS device or Mac computer you own or for someone else to find their iPhone or iOS device with your iPhone does not turn off Find My iPhone with your iCloud account settings on your iPhone.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased. -
Find my iPhone is activated on my device. My device is locked. iTunes is prompting me to access my iPhone even though Im locked out of it to disable find my iphone before I can use the backup???
Can anyone help me with this?
Wonder if this has anything to do with iOS7 installation?iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

I've been using my email to my IPad for months since I've bought it the I got a notice, In order to use Yahoo Mail, please turn Private Browsing off. Please go to Settings » Safari » Private Browsing, and turn it off....why now after all these months is someone trying to hack in?
You turn private browsing off on the Safari page. Tap the + sign in the upper right corner, then tap private in the lower left corner. You know you're in private when the top of the screen is dark.

It is an iPhone 4s. It used to be set to sync wirelessy but that became annoying and I reset the phone so I could just sync it with the cord. Apparently that was a bad idea.
Hello robh53,
The following article provides some useful troubleshooting steps that can help get your iPhone to cooperate with iTunes.

I just installed the app on my phone and the question is above.
Thanks all!To clarify, a subscription to the PS+LR Photography Plan has a different LR license than your current serial-number-licensed LR, and each license-type can be installed on 2 computers, so you could have LR on up to four computers, two of which can be running the CC licensed version of LR along with the CC-licensed version of PS, and two running the serial-number-licensed LR without PS-CC.
If you have your catalog and photos on an external drive that you can swap between the various computers, then you could use any of the up-to-four to work with your photos. You could also have as separate catalog on each of the up-to-four computers, but then syncing would get complicated if you try to do that on more than one LR catalog, I think, though I could be wrong, because I only use LR Mobile with one catalog, currently. -
Our iMac can find the wireless printer, but it will not set it up. Any ideas?
I have to disagree with BGreg about downloading the driver from HP.com. I would recommend using Apple's instructions in
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4670?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
specifically the section on How to Add a Printer then check for the section on Wi-Fi printers. -
TS4006 How do I turn off Find My Iphone from my PC
I downloaded the new IOS& software into my Iphone 5 and I was trying to set the switch controls to make it easier to retrieve Apple Radio. Anyhow, I have locked myself out of my phone because the switch controls will not allow any button to work on the Iphone screen. I want to reset Iphone to an earlier time but I cannot because I can't turn off Find My Iphone from my Iphone settings. Is their anyway to do this from my computer so I can reset my iphone?
My problems is that the Settings App keeps crashing, so I cannot go into Settings to turn off Find My Phone.
I need to Restore my phone to,hopefully, get Settings to work again. But I can't do a Restore until I turn off Find My Phone, which I can't do because Settings keeps crashing.
Talk about a vicious circle.
I went into iCloud/Find My Phone on my laptop and removed my phone. I then went to iTunes to try a Restore but it STILL says I have to turn off Find My Phone. I have done that three times now.
Should I also take the step "Erase My Phone?" I have a great fear of doing that because what happens if I erase the phone and it STILL won't restore? Then I'll be totally screwed.
This all started because I updated to 7.1 yesterday.
Thanks, Apple! -
My ipod was disabled by my son entering the wrong pass code. I no longer have the original computer i sync to. I have tried to restore using the instructions sent by Apple Rep, and on these help pages. I get a message from itunes saying that cannot connect to ipod touch b/c it is disabled, that i need to enter passcode to continue.. meanwhile, the ipod touch is saying i am disabled and to connect to itunes. Any NEW ideas?
If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)
If none of the above work, try:

Installing Windows XP after Arch on seperate HD
I want to install Windows XP (don't ask why ) on a primary partition on a seperate HD. Since Arch is on the second HD (/dev/sdb) would it be possible to install Windows on the other partition (/dev/sda1) without it messing up the MBR and other files?
