Can't turn Passcode off!

I know my passcode, but I'm tired of entering it. But in the menu where I should be able to turn it off, the button is greyed out. WHY??

If you delete the exchange email, you should then be able to turn off the passcode lock. That's assuming you don't want email. If this is a work phone, then of course your company decides what you can do. You should be able to up the time between when the code needs to be entered to an hour, that will keep the nagging down to just a few times a day.

  • "Turn Passcode Off" is grayed out.

    After upgrading to iOS 7 on my Ipad 3 the "Turn Passcode Off" button is grayed out. I did have an Exchange account on it, but I have since removed it. I also have an iPhone 5 on iOS 7 and I can turn off and on the passcode at will even with an Exchange account. I have reapplied the update and restored same thing. Then I completly reset it and I could turn it off and on. But as soon as I restored the passcode lock came back. Also as not "Erase Data" is also grayed out.

    Reset all Settings will work. I canceled it though before it started.
    Also if it matters I can change my passcode, just not turn it off.

  • Turning Passcode off

    How can I turn off my passcode?  I have gone through Settings>General>Passcode Lock and entered my passcode, but when I get to Turn Passcode Off, it is greyed out and I cannot click on it to turn the passcode off.  What can I do about this?

    If you have an Exchange account set up on the phone, the administrators can enforce a policy requiring a passcode lock.  If that's the case, you can not remove the passcode without deleting the Exchange account from the phone.

  • My Macbook Pro is frozen on the login page with a white screen and only my login picture. How do I fix this? I can't turn it off and I closed it and let it charge but it's still not working.

    My Macbook Pro is frozen on the login page with a white screen and only my login picture. How do I fix this? I can't turn it off and I closed it and let it charge but it's still not working. It's only 3 months old and was working perfectly fine 30min before this happened.

    Hello Kierasully,
    I would start your troubleshooting with the article below for issues of not being able to log in to your Mac. Start with booting up in to Safe Boot as well as resetting PRAM on your Mac. If that does not work, then verify the hard drive with booting to the Recover HD and go to Disk Utility to verify it.

    Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

  • In Yosemite, I can;t operate for more than a few minutes with Keychain or Safari asking for my login password.  How can I turn this off, and still be safe?

    Using Yosemite, I an't seem to work for more than a few minutes without being asked for my login password.  Keychain wants it, Safari wants it, iCloud wants it..the list goes on.  Then in 10 minutes or so, they all want it again.  Passwords are being stored by Safari as usual, but new tabs or pages bring up the request.  How can I turn this off and still have protection?

    Tutorial: Resolving Keychain Issues
    If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
    First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password. This can be accomplished via the following process:
      1. Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
      2. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
      3. Click the "First Aid" tab
      4. Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
      5. Close the Preferences window
      6. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
      7. Enter your username and password
      8. Click the "Repair" button
    The second option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible. This can be accomplished as follows:
      1. Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
      2. Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
      3. Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
      4. Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
      5. Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
      6. Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting
          "New Keychain"
      7. You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then
          going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
    Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
    First, you want to enable the root user:
      1. OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
      2. OS X Lion: Enable and disable the root user
      3. Mac OS X 10.6: Enabling the root user
      4. Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
    After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
    Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
    Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user's home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
    Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
    Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, the Keychain may be to blame.
    The above comes from an article published on MacFixit.com.

  • Can't turn Zoom off

    I just discovered (here) the solution to my iphone 4S  'extreme zoom' problem. 
    I want to avoid the problem anyway but I can't turn Zoom off in  Settings - General - Accessibility. 
    Anyone know why or 'how to'?

    Thanks Lawrence.   Looks like this may be one of those cases where the cure could be more of a burden than using the 'three-finger tap'.

  • HT4859 Do I need to turn backup on to allow iCloud to store data?  Can I turn it off again so iPad will sync with iTunes?

    Do I need to turn on iCloud Backup to,store data?  Can I turn it off again so it is not on automatic and will resume syncing with iTunes?

    You don't have to turn on iCloud backup to sync data with iCloud, but you do if you want to back up to iCloud.  (You sync data with iCloud by going to Settings>iCloud and turning the data you want to sync with your iCloud account to On, and choosing Merge to upload your data.)
    Also, backing up to iCloud does not prevent you from sycing with iTunes.  All it does is cause your iPad to be automatically backed up to iCloud instead of automatically backing up to your computer each time you sync.  And even if you are automatically backing up to iCloud, you can always manually back up to your computer using iTunes at any time by connecting your iPad to your computer, clicking on the name of your iPad in iTunes, going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sycn settings, and clicking on Back Up Now.
    You can, of course change back to automatically backing up to your computer using iTunes at any time as well.

    If you have a lock code, how did someone change the apple ID for "find my phone?"   You should go by the apple store and let them help you.
