Can not restore ipad 2 because find my iphone is still on.
i can't remember my passcode for my ipad so i tried to restore it to a different backup but it wont let me because it says that i must first turn off findmyiphone. i went to my icloud account online and removed my ipad from the findmyiphone device list. it still says that i have to turn it off even after i did that. any help??
You needed to erase the device before removing it. At this point, all you can do is enter your iCloud Apple ID password directly on the device. That means you really need to remember that passcode. There is a possible remedy through expresslane.com, but I'm very doubtful. They hear all types of imaginative stories of why a certain iOS device is prohibiting a certain person from access. Good luck with that.

iphone is dead, gone to insurance co. for replacement. They say because "Find My iPhone" is still active, they can't replace or try to fix it. problem is can't log in to de-activate it, cos email account does not exist anymore. How can I de-activate it?
You never used your iPhone?
You never logged into iTunes?
Your AppleID & Password for iCloud& iPhone should be the same AppleID &Password you used to log in here and post a message.
-> Find your Apple ID -

Can not restore ipad 2. Unable to connect to activation server, server is temporarily unavailable??
Hi Anson/JimHdk,
I triple checked to makes sure my SSID and passwords are right.
I found the MAC Address filter is not turned on...
I don't think there's maximum number of connection for the router (I turned my 2 other devices on Airplane mode when checking) and it still didn't work.
I don't know how to durn off DHCP and use static IP address....
There's no firmware update available for my router as it's 8 years old....
My brother says I will need to get a new router.... hopefully that will work....
Thank you both for offering these additional checks!

HT201210 what is - can not restore ipad due to error code 2006
trying to figure out what error code 2006 is - it is not one listed and I can't restore my ipad to factory settings
It is listed, you just sort have to play around on the support site in order to find it.
Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service. -

I can not restore the software on my 3g I get almost all the way thru and get a fault of 1015
I can not restore the software on my 3g iphone. I get almost all the way thru the update and I get a fault of 1015. Does anyone know how to fix this
According to Apple documentation error 1015 is:
Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state. Very rarely this error is caused by a hardware issue and requires service. -
download ios 7, and the location function is off, I can not access because I forgot the key constraints, I can not restore the iphone because I can not find iphone app access
If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the device from the computer to which the device is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the device into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
If your device is running iOS 7 and you set up Find My iPhone (iPad/iPod), however, then it has the Activation Lock on it and you'll need to enter in your Apple ID and password to activate the device after restoring:

Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Communities page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums and in the Apple Knowledge Base, before you post a question. -
After installing iOS7 I was prompted to make a passcode, I did so and stupidly forgot and now continually am disabling my iPad, ways in which I have read you can sort this is restoring your iPad, however I can not restore without iTunes telling me I need to go onto the iPad and turn off FindMyiPhone! How else can I sort this? It is logged into my apple account and everything! This is an iPad 2 also ASAP help!!
Hello shanefox,
This can be done by logging in at iCloud.com and removing your device via the Find My iPhone web interface.

I recently changed my Apple ID to a new email address. My old one still is in my phone, and cannot be permanently deleted as it says that Find my iPhone is still on. I can't turn it off because I do not have the password to my old "deleted" Apple ID. If you can help, please do! Thank you very much!
I have the EXACT SAME PROBLEM and have been researching the past 2 hours!!!! Aaargh!

Upon downloading firefox 3.6.16 it suddenly stop loading and provides this explanation:
Finder can not complete the operasjonen because some information in «Firefox.app» could not be read or be written (malfunction code -36)
What do I have to to come around this ?

J.BakkeAint you quick to jump to conslusions? So becasue one thing isn't working of the hundreds of things I donwloaded doesnt work, my drivers are broken?
Ok then, let me download some other things to make sure
Minecraft: it worked ✓
Firefox: it worked✓
Synthesia: it worked✓
iExplorer: it worked✓
Pencil: it worked✓
Flash: it worked✓
Synfig was made in 2006, so it's not unlikely that it might not work for some people. By 'some people', I mean me. I was just asking if it was something on my side, but if that's all you got, I think it's highly unlikely that it's my fault. I don't even want it anymore, I got Flash Professional. I was just wondering. I could have sworn you used to write more detailed answers before jumping striaght to conclusions. 'Did this happen to you on anything else?' or maybe even 'Why don't you complain to them?' would have been fine. -
I have another account that i can't delete off my phone because lost my recovery key and password. How do i get rid of this account? it will not let me turn off find my iphone and delete account. Can anyone help?
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.
