Trying to turn off "find my ipad" but the icloud password. is not working although it has been reset and the reset password works ok on my laptop. Any ideas.

I am trying to access iCloud account. I have reset the password, which works with my laptop. On the Apple website the account details show that the account is verified but on the ipad it continually says "verified" and underneath "Account not verified" Have checked the rescue email address but this says account is verified. What should I do? Apple store said I needed to phone. Phone chat suggested and went through change password etc. but nothing has worked and they have no idea. Help?

Hi newquaysimon,
Unless you have the Apple ID and password used to set up this iPhone, you may need to contact the original owner to turn off Find My iPhone/Activation Lock. You may find the following articles helpful:

How can I get the verification code for iCloud it's not letting me do it password has been reset but I can't reset the iPad until I have turned off find my iPad but I can't do that until I have verified iCloud any ideas

I'm trying to help set up a new iPad but it will not send me or cannot receive the verification email so I can set up iCloud what can I do?

Hello Slordan2012
Log in to appleid.apple.com and resend the verification email to then verify the address. If you cannot get pass that, then you can always force the restore on your iPad and then enter in the password to bypass trying to turn it off.

I tryed to turn off find my iphone but it says my device is offline i forgot my iphone passcode so how can i go online?

i broke my iphone screen two months ago, that being said its been dead for awhile i recently recharged it but now i dont remeber my passcode that i put on there. i did the whole deleting the find myiphone thing from icloud but its telling my it will permamnetly delete it once the device goes online well sence i dont know the passcode how am i suppose to go online? i dont know if i should just keep trying random password until its disabled so that way itll give me an option to put in my apple password or will it just be disabled with no options at all? i dont know what i need to do in order to go online sence i dont know the passcode thats the whole reason for me doing the delete the find my iphone. i need help as soon as possible, everything of mines is on there and i dont want to do anything to the phone that will make it earase everything?? please help as soon as possible . im not sure if i have the iOS 7.1 or 7.1.1 i know i have one of those two though

If you don't know the passcode, you'll have to restore it to remove the passcode. And with Find My iPhone set on it, you'll have to force it into recovery mode to restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808. This will erase the phone and you will have to restore an existing backup.
If you synced it with iTunes since setting the passcode on it, see if you can try backing it up before restoring it by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Back Up and File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
If iTunes won't allow you to back it up first, you don't have any choice except to force it into recovery mode, restore it, then restore and existing backup. You could probably still import your camera roll to your computer first, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

Forgot password on iPad and need to turn off 'find my iPad'

I forgot the password on my iPad so I need to reset it but when I go to reset it, the computer says I need to turn off 'find my iPad' but just recently I deleted my iPad device off of 'find my iphone' on my iPhone how do I turn it off if I can't even find the device anymore?
I've tried iCloud.com

See the procedures below for removing a device from Find My iPhone when you can't do it on the device itself.

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

How its possible to turn it off since my iPad is in Safe Mode

What do you mean by 'safe mode', do you mean that it's in recovery mode ? You should be able to log into your account on http://www.icloud.com and remove the iPad from the Find My iPhone section of your account

Have you tried using Find My iPad on a computer to remote wipe your iPad?

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 :''''(

Hi!
I need to fix my iPad on IOS 7.
It has the password locked and says connect to iTunes I did, and synced it. Also tried to restore with backup from last May.
I know how to get it restored so the password fixes but...
The computer says "Turn off Find My iPad before restoring"
If I can't access the iPad's Settings how will I turn it off?
Please! Help!

It also may take a bit for Apple servers to update your information. You are sure it is this iPad that you removed from your Apple ID?
I would wait an hour or so and try it again. You may want to put it in Recovery Mode:
