My Iphone is disabled and I plugged it into Itunes to restore it but it's saying that I can't do it without turning off "Find My Phone" in my setting, but obviously I can't get into my phone. What do I do?

Cannot change iCloud ID in iOS8 - Can't Sign Out without turning off Find My iPad - which needs the password for the old iCloud ID

I have read the older responses to questions re how to change the iCloud account from an old ID/email address (OLD ID) - to a new ID/email address (CURRENT ID). They all say go to Settings>iCloud - and Delete the iCloud account. In iOS 8 - there is no Delete - but there is a Sign Out. BUT - when I choose the Sign Out it shows a pop-up with the OLD iCloud ID - saying I must first sign IN to iCloud and enter a Password Required to turn off the Find My iPad feature.
I have tried using the password I remember as being correct for the OLD iCloud ID. Doesn't work.
I have tried using the password for the CURRENT ID - even though the pop-up has the OLD ID displayed. Doesn't work.
I'm out of ideas - except Reset??
Should I Reset All Settings?

I finally found a work-around in another thread on this Using iPad community. Basically, I had to first make sure that the Messages and Facetime were associated with the CURRENT/NEW ID. (I could do this by simply erasing the OLD ID and typing in the new - in General>Messages and General>Facetime. I then used by PC to change my Apple ID back to the OLD ID/EMAIL - but leave the new password alone.
I then went back to Settings>iCloud - clicked on Sign Out. When it asked me to log on -- with the OLD ID/EMAIL -- to turn off the Find My Phone - I did so using the Password that was originally used with the CURRENT/NEW ID. This worked. So I finally was able to close out of the iCloud account that used the OLD ID/EMAIL.
I then went back on my PC to change my Apple ID back to the CURRENT/NEW ID/EMAIL.
I then went back to the iPad Settings>iCloud - and signed on using the CURRENT/NEW ID/EMAIL.
So everything is OK now.
WHEW!!!
Not sure why this has to be so difficult. But thanks everyone for your suggestions.

My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can i fix this without turning off iCloud?

My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can I fix this without turning off iCloud?
I am at a new office that uses Outlook (not Outlook Exchange) which does not sync with my mobile... I just got iCloud set up on my PC to sync my contacts, calendar, reminders, etc... The sync worked (not without flaws, but the other issues seem solvable... I think), so that i can now see all my appointments on both my phone and on my PC. The problem I am having is that iCloud moved all of my calendar items from Outlook into iCloud calendar and now when I send out meeting/calendar invites the recipients may accept them, but the meeting does not get added to their calendar. This is a huge problem and may mean that i need to turn off iCloud.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!

I am replying to my own post here as I seem to have fixed the problem.
I do have some calendars that are shared. Some of those are shared with users who have time zone support turned on. So i activated time zone support on my iphone, then deleted my icloud subscription. I then signed in to icloud again and voila... problem solved.
It is a weird one as the other calendar views were always fine and when you opened an event that appeared in the wrong day (on list view), the correct date of the event was shown in the information...
one more bug in a complicated system I guess

Hello there, SamanthaYikwai.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some basic steps to try for reinstalling an app:
iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
Reinstall the app
Remove the app from your device and reinstall it. Remember that deleting an app also deletes its data.
Delete the app.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store and download the app again.
Wait for the app to download, then open it from the Home screen.
If the download stops, you can resume it.
If the issue persists, then you may want to try and sync the application to your iOS device using your computer by following the information in this article, under the section "Download previous purchases on Mac or PC":
Download past purchases

Can't get through ipod touch 5g password without turning off 'find my iphone'

hi!
i have a big problem. so when i was so sick and tired of my sister fooling around with my ipod touch (5g) i changed the password of it. then after a few while, i checked on it then opened it, to find out that the password i entered is incorrect. i started to remember that i changed it. ( swear, i have amnesia when i am angry/****** off) so.. i researched for possible solutions. then i found out that i need to use iTunes so i did. it told me to 'turn off find my iPod touch' which i can't do because my ipod is locked. so, i did some more 'researching' . what it told me to is to go to icloud.com/#find and remove the device etc. etc. and i followed it. BUT for some reasons, i just clicked delete.then remove from account. i thought that it would help it so i went back to iTunes and did the same process but surprisingly, it still tells me to ' turn off find my ipod touch' which i can't do because when i wen't back to icloud.com/#find , i saw a message saying that there's no device registered to my account. i have nothing left to do but to just ask here. btw, iOs 8.1.2 thanks in advanced

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

HT201210 cant restore my ipad from itunes after updating latest ios. message tells me to turn off 'find my ipad' from my ipad, but I can't because the set up is not complete without the restore. What do I do?

I don't know if I'm repeating my question. I can't restore my ipad after updating to latest ios. The battery went low, I had to eject and plug in to charge. The set up will not complete without resoring from icloud or itunes (i backed up to computer using itunes) or setting up the ipad as a New ipad. I want to restore all my stuff but the message I get in itune says "Find my ipad must be turned off before 'ipad' can be restored". Go to icloud settings on your ipad and turn off Find My iPad before restoring your iPad.". I cant' get to this setting on my ipad because the set up is not complete!!! I'm stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm afraid if I set up the ipad as new it will backup the new ipad over my previous backup and then I will loose all my photos, songs, aps, notes,......

I have the same problem and we can't simply just restore from the backup. It says that I have to set up my iPad through restoring. So I tried restoring it in iTunes but it won't restore until I have to turn off this **** "Find My iPad" crap but I couldn't because the set up's not complete and it won't let me go to my settings unless I set it up. So basically it's asking me to go to my settings but before I could go to it I have to restore, and in order to restore I have to go to settings. Get where I'm at?
Please, Apple Tech people! Help this 14 year old girl on her period, PMS-ing, thinking about how I want to strangle however made this mistake of a set up, updating her iPad in 3 am in the morning cursing the day she even thought of updating. I seriously need to get out of this loophole. I don't want to use my other iPad that only has 16GB. I just wanted the pretty graphics I saw in my parent's iPad airs, I don't ask for anything more :''''(

My iphone is disabled and will not connect to itunes, i cannot use the same computer as my last backup

I disabled my cousins iPhone by pressing random numbers until his iPhone said ; iPhone is disabled connect to iTune ; in red on his front screen. He is in a different province for a month from where he last backed up his iPhone. We tried connecting it to iTunes, but it says it cannot be connected unless the iphones passcode is put in.. which is impossible. Is there some way i can restore his iphone without him losing ANYTHING on it.. like today...

Put the device in DFU mode and restore.
When he gets back to the computer that he normally syncs with, he can restore from his backup. Everything since that last backup will be lost.
Start apologizing now... keep it up for a few months to several years.
Then hopefully you will learn to leave other peoples stuff alone.

OSX ML firewall is blocking smtp/imap connection to the server. how can i enable it without turning off the firewall?

With the firewall turned on and with the "block all incoming connections" option untick, I can send email to internal and external addressee. However,
1. Mail clients both from LAN and from outside (WAN connected) could not connect to the mail server. Both SMTP and IMAP could not connect to the server.
2. External MTA (say from google or yahoo MX server) could not connect to the server too.
both of these issues are resolved if I set the firewall to OFF. Is there a workaround without turning this off? appreciate your input/advise..

I've used Mail on Exchange and Gmail with the firewall on for send/recieve on my Mac no problem there.
However, are you asking about the MacServer? If so, you're in the wrong section...
Remember how public-facing systems work, they have to be universally accessible directly or through a DMZ zone in the firewall/gateway. This means the firewall/gateway has to be upstream from the server, not directly on the server.
Also, check your DNS settings on the computers and server both inside and outside the network.

HT1212 My iPhone is disabled and I'm prompted in iTunes to turn off find my iPhone on the device before I can follow the steps to enable??? Please help.

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

IOS 8 lockscreen keyboard does not let me input characters with accent marks. My password has an accent mark. I can't restore the device without unlocking it and turning off find my iPod. What can I even do here?

I do have a third party keyboard installed (fleksy), and I removed english and emoji from the keyboards list in settings before rebooting the ipod. When it booted up, it asked for my device password with the default keyboard, but I can't type any letters with accent marks, so I can't enter the password. I figured I could fix this by restoring a backup and changing my password, but I can't restore a backup without turning off Find My iPod - which of course requires me to unlock the device with the device password, which I can't do. Am I stuck here? Is there anything at all that I can do?
