Can't turn off Keychain on iPhone

My iCloud Keychain is not working with my iPhone.  I took the suggestion to disable Keychain on my iPhone; however, if I toggle off the setting in iCloud it just comes right back on. ???

Hello Dustinlgreen,
Oh man! That definitely sounds frustrating. Let’s see if we can troubleshoot this issue. We can begin by forcing the settings application to close followed by a restart:
Force an app to close in iOS - Apple Support

Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/HT201559
If the issue persists, try signing out of your iCloud account, restart your device, then sign back in:
iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
Turn off iCloud completely
Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
On your iOS device: Go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Sign Out (Delete Account in iOS 7 and earlier).
Cheers,
Matt M.

  • I set up Keychain and do not have access to the telephone I gave.  Now I can no longer connect my ipad to my windows computer.  I can not turn off Keychain...it is awaiting authorization from the SMS on the telephone I do not have access to.

    I set up Keychain and do not have access to the telephone I gave.  Now I can no longer connect my ipad to my windows computer, itunes does not automatically open when I plug in the USB.  I can not turn off Keychain in my ipad since authorization is pending awaiting the code sent by SMS, which I can not get.  Can someone advise how to get rid of Keychain.  Should I cancel my icloud account?

    I appreciate your help.
    Have reset the ipad, but that changed nothing.  I can not turn off Keychain, iit remains "pending approval".  Probably, the only thing to do is to close my icloud account...which I hate to do since there is a lot of data saved there.  But, I am unable to back the ipad up on my Windows 8 computer because itunes no longer opens when the ipad is attached.
    Oh well...computers are computers and it is impossible to cover 100% of the situations.
    Keychain iss not the best app for someone who lives in 3 different countries.
    Thanks

  • How can I turn off Keychain from asking for my password EVERY time I check for mail?

    how can I turn off Keychain from asking for my password EVERY time I check for mail?
    This is really driving me nuts.....
    Thanks

    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, and then click General. 
    Open the General pane of Security & Privacy preferences
    2.     Select “Require password...NEVER after sleep or screen saver begins.”  You can adjust the amount of delay before a password is required in the pop-up menu.
    From what I am aware, you cannot turn off the keychain.
    I hope this helps.

  • I can not restore because I can not turn off Find my Iphone

    Hello,
    I'm using iphone 5 with ios 7. I just upgraded ios 7 today. after upgrade I realised that passcode was activated before upgrade I was not using that feature. I forgot my passcode so I got my phone disabled for a while. I searched the discussions and saw that I need to restore and then restore from back up to have the passcode to disable. When I try to restore my phone I got the below message:
    Find My iPhone must be turned off before “Jean” can be restored.
    Go to iCloud Settings on your iPhone and turn off Find My iPhone before restoring your iPhone.
    I can not turn off Find my Iphone because my phone locked and I forgot the passcode.
    Anyone can help?

    Follow the steps above to remove it from the account, but then
    "After the device has been removed from the account, turn it off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button located on the top right side of the device. Then restart your device and proceed with device setup as you would normally. "

    can not turn off find my iPhone after resetting my ipad. I reset my iPad and now the iCloud account is associated with an old account. How do  I associate iCloud with my proper appleID?

    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.

  • 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.

  • HT201252 How do I restore my iPhone when I can't turn off find my iPhone

    My phone 6+ has completely frozen out.  It will turn on but there is a flicker at the top of the screen and no screen touching works.  So I can't get past the security screen.  No water damage, no magnet, not even dropped.  It just stopped working one day.
    I've tried to restore factory settings via iTunes, but it says that I have to turn off 'find my iPhone' first, which involves turning on the phone to do so, which the phone won't let me do!
    How do I restore my factory settings?

    If it is powering up, and assuming it then connects to your wireless or wifi network, you can log into your iCloud account in a computer browser and remove it from your listed devices there.

  • How can i turn off find my iphone if i dont have the phone and its turned off

    i lost my phone, so activated find my iphone and also put the lock on it. the battery died so the fone is now off. i ended up buying a new phone and im trying to restore the latest computer back up onto the new fone but it is saying that i need to turn off find my iphone. i went to icloud and removed the lost device but because it is turned off its not working . is there any way around this or at least getting my photos and contacts onto my new fone. and i dont have anything saved on icloud

    after ive connected the phone to itunes and i click on restore backup a box pops u and says
    Find my iphone must be turned off before 'My Iphone' can be restored.
    Go to icloud settings on you iphone and turn off Find my Iphone before restoring your iphone.
    the first time this came up i went into icloud on my computer and removed the old phone from there but from what ive read it will only be properly removed when the fone gets turned back on.
