Disable find my iphone 8.1

Is there a way to disable find my iphone on a 5s running 8.1 without a password? There is no way of resetting the password at this point.

Hello ccbaker91,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
To disable Find My iPhone, you will need to enter the password for the Apple ID that is signed in. You can reset the password for that account using the information in the following article. If you are unable to reset your password, can you please let me know what is keeping you from resetting it so that I can be of further assistance?
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
Have a great day,
Joe

How to reset my Ipad if I can't disable Find my Iphone?

I forgot my restrictions passcode, so I went to try and reset it on my computer. However, Itunes says that I need to disable Find My Iphone on my Ipad. So I go to the settings, and I find the Icloud tab, but the restrictions prevent me from opening it. Is there another way to reset or turn off Find My Iphone?

You can access iCloud.com on a computer to turn it off.

I forgot my iphone passcode and i m also not able to restore it cuz it displays msg "disable find my iphone first"

how can i solve this without losing my data

You have two issues. First, to disable Find my iPhone go to https://icloud.com/find, log in with your Apple ID and password, erase the phone, then remove it from your account. You can then restore it.
If you have a recent backup of the phone either in iCloud or on your computer you can restore the backup after restoring iOS on the phone. If you don't have a backup you will lose your data.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Forgot passcode -find my iphone enabled -message disable find my iphone. I cannot do this as my phone is disabled.I logged onto icloud and removed the phone (can be done only when its offline

I have completely forgotten my passcode and have find my iphone enabled. When I try to restore I get the message disable find my iphone. I cannot do this as my phone is disabled.I logged onto icloud and removed the phone (can be done only when its offline) but the phone keeps appearing.

Do this:
Plug in your iPhone into your computer.
Hold the power button and home button for 10 seconds the both with each other.
Then release the power button but keep holding the home button for another 15 seconds.
This'll put it onto DFU mode so that you can restore it. Good luck!

I have lost an iPhone 5s but I have a backup that I wish to restore on my iPhone 4, will restoring the backup file disable 'Find my iPhone' on my missing handset?

The title says it all, I was unfortunate enough to lose an iPhone 5s but luckily I have 'Find my iPhone' enabled on it, luckily I have found my old iPhone 4 and would like to know if 'Find my iPhone' will remain activated on the lost/stolen handset should I restore the backup file on my old iPhone?
Many Thanks
Billy

You'll be fine restoring your backup to your old iPhone 4s. Just make sure your 4s is up to date to restore the backup. Bummer about you losing your iPhone 5s. You don't have to worry about the lost device being removed from Find my iPhone once it is turned on it cannot be removed unless you turn it off yourself.

HT201252 I cannot get into my IPhone to disable Find My IPhone as the display will not work. Help?

I have an IPhone 5c; the screen and buttons are not working and the display is just black. If i charge it it does nothing except buzz repeatedly. There is so water damage nor have i dropped it. Help?

You go to www.cloud.com, log in with the same Apple ID & password that you used for iCloud/Find My iPhone on the device, go to the Find My iPhone section, and remove it from the account.

Can anyone help me with this?

Find my iPhone - no problem to disable

Why can I disable Find my iPhone in my iPhone without entering a password?
Then what is the point ..?

I agree. I have been using mobile me for 2 years now and it is great. I love the find me feature and I do have a password lock on my phone. Anyone that doesn't put a lock on their phone is an idiot for not doing it because if it does get lost then they have access to all your data anyways. The only problem I have had since they made it free is using the app on my phone to find my sons iphone 3GS. I always have to put in both my id and password when before the id was always there. Have no problem putting in the password but now it is an email address vs just the mobile me id now.

How can I reset a phone with Find My iPhone enabled?

I purchased a phone from someone I do not know very well because mine suffered water damage and I do not want to use my Verion upgrade until the iPhone 6 is released.
He reset the phone but of course did not disable Find My iPhone. The guy is nice enough and tried to give me his log in information but could not remember it. He also used vague answers for his security questions, so I have not been able to unlock his account. I have tried to get him to call Apple himself, but he has since stopped dealing with me (I've probably driven him crazy, but he doesn't understand that what he would need to do is explain his situation and it would be relatively simple to convince Apple to reset his information).
My question is this... If I wrote somthing out for him to sign stating that he sold the phone to me and cannot login to disable the application, will an Apple agent be able to reset it for me? Is there any way around this?

You can't. Get your money back. It's useless to you. Nothing he could "sign" would do you any good. The only way Apple will intervene is if you have the original proof of purchase from an authorized source. If he won't or can't take care of the problem and won't give you a refund, turn the phone over to the police and give them all the information you can on the seller. It's likely it's stolen if he can't remove the lock.

Use a family iCloud account for bookmarks and find my iPhone - iOS 7?

Prior to upgrading to ios 7, I was able to use one icloud account as a family icloud account where I would only enable the find my iphone and bookmarks in Safari so that all of our bookmarks would by synced across all of our devices and our home family imac computer. In addition, through one login, I could use find my iphone to locate any device in our family.
With ios7, it seems only the primary icloud account can enable bookmark syncing and find my iphone. Anyone know if there is a work around? I don't want to make the family icloud the main icloud account on each device since it will require more icloud storage space to backup everyone's devices and it will also interfere with photo stream and documents/data stored.
Any ideas or suggestions? It was so nice to be able to sync bookmarks across all devices like that.
Thanks
Marco

In order for users to disable find my iphone they would need to login into your icloud account or if they wipe youe phone clean it will still ask for your apple id and password in order to activate the phone if they restore it so either they will get stuck with a useless phone

I updated to ios7 and got the set up asst and selected restore from back up.... can't get itunes to do the restore as it wants me to turn off find my iphone, but I can't access anything on my iphone to turn off as I am in ios set up assistant

I updated my iphone 4 to ios7.04 in itunes. In itunes, it appears that all my data/apps/music/etc are on the phone (but I cannot see anything on phone itself except setup screens). I am getting the ios7 setup screen on my iphone. I have selected my language, selected my wifi netowork, enabled location services, and chosen resore from itunes back up. Next screen I get says to connec to itunes, which I did. In itunes, I select restore from backup. I then get a message that I need to disable "find my iphone " "Go to iCloud Settings on your iPhone and turn off Find My iPhone before restoring your iPhone." I cannot go to any settings on my iphone as I cannot get past the connect to iturnes screen! I have also tried not enabling location services and that made no difference. I cannot get to anyplace on my iphone except the ios setup first few screens. I am going crazy, there must be some simple thing I have missed! Any help appreciated!

I found a way to get to my data. So do not need remedy at this time.
fwiw, I changed my ios7.04 setup answer of restore from itunes to new iphone. Eventually that allowed me to set up icloud, then turn off find iphone, restore. Very strange ios update.
