  • Cannot turn off passcode after ios8 upgrade - iPad mini

    Upgraded iPad mini to ios8 and cannot turn off the passcode.  In settings, I can turn it off but it tells me that I need to set a passcode within 60 minutes.  It then counts down and requires me to set a passcode once 60 minutes are up.  Also does not let me change duration of passcode (from immediately to 4 hours for example).  Any thoughts on how to turn it off?  Thanks.

    is this your iPad or one administered by someone else...for example if I use an iPad from work our IT policy dictates that I must use a passcode and I am not allowed to turn it off.
    If it's yours, just a shot in the dark, do you have restrictions enabled? If so, go in and disable them then see if that will allow you to turn off the passcode lock.

  • Cannot turn off passcode lock on ipad ios 7.0.3

    I am unable to turn off passcode lock on an iPad running IOS7.0.3.  When I get to the screen in Settings > General > Passcode Lock, "Turn Passcode Off" is greyed out and cannot be used.  Hence I am stuck with having to enter a passcode even though I don't want to any longer.  The problem is not that I do not know the passcode, simply that I can't turn off the passcode lock.  Any thoughts?

  • Cannot turn off Passcode Lock

    This started happening suddenly. It always asks for a passcode now. I cannot disable it in Settings. Another feature that's disabled is "erase all data after 4 failed attempts." Yikes! I have the iPhone 3GS, updated to iOS4 a while ago and it had been working fine until now. Tried restarting but it didn't work. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    try going to your iphone summary page on itunes after you have plugged your phone in. Right in the middle there is a restore tab where you can put your phone back to original settings, after that u can then put the new os4 system back on. good luck

  • TS4006 My passcode requirement was turned off when I updated to iOS 7. It is now requiring my Passcode, but I cannot remember it! And computer  won't let me synch because "Find My iPad" app is turned on, which I obviously cannot turn off.

    My passcode requirement was turned off prior to updating to iOS 7.
    It is now requiring my Passcode, but I cannot remember it! And computer  won't let me synch because "Find My iPad" app is turned on, which I obviously cannot turn off without getting into iPad Settings.
    Do I really have to Reset the iPad?

    Yes, you will need to restore your iPad.  This link will help restore from a lost passcode:

    Thanks.

    hope you didn't have GREEK keyboard selected
    If you did APple do not want to know that their upgrade has trashed your ipad
    search on  ios 7  ipad  greek keyboard
    to see other sufferers - if you had a greek keyboard then you need to set it to english/french etc
    to do that you need to unlock your ipad
    to unlock your ipad you need to re-set your keyboard
    to do that you need a greek keboard
    to get your greek keyboard back you need to unlock your ipad
    and so on and son
    thank you apple

  • Please help! I cannot turn off IPOD due to blocking message

    Please help, dear Ipod Experts and better Ipod Users,
    I cannot turn off the Ipod (when I click to the bottom ) anymore as following message appears:
    "FireWire connections are not supported to transfer songs, connect to the USB cable provided"
    Even resetting the Ipod the message appears again and again and I dont have the slightest idea what the IPOD is trying to tell me. I have regularly uploaded the songs via Itunes with the USB cable (Nothing else) and I use the official I-Fusion Sonic Impact to hear the songs in loud. Can there be the connection, because I remember that this message started appearing when the IPOD was connected to the I-Fusion.
    In order to turn the IPOD I have to leave it on till it turns off due to battery deload...Very sad solution, isnt it?
    Thanks so much for answers for a real desperate Ipod Fan
    RAFAEL

    It sounds like you have reached the authorization limit of 5 computers.  So if you need to authorize another one, either deauthorize any other computers have authorized in the past that you still have physical access to or use the Deauthorize All option as described in this article.

  • How can i turn off passcode when the option is greyed out

    how can i turn off passcode in iPhone 4S when the option is greyed out?

    You can't. Do you have an Exchange account on the phone? If so, the ability to disable the passcode can be restricted by a profile installed when setting up the Exchange account.

  • HT4113 Can not turn off passcode lock

    I can not turn off passcode lock. I see it and it is grayed out. I can change the password, etc. but I can not turn it off  I plugged the phone into a friends computer a few days ago to charge it. Does that have something to do with it?

    There is an exchange account on the device and the Admins of that account require a passcode lock on the device.
