Downloaded ios7 now iphone 5 completely locked. Can't restore because I can't turn off find my iphone. Help

Worked fine for a couple hours. Now I can't swipe to unlock

Hi there jolss, 
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. 
From what I gather, your iPhone 5 is disabled and it’s showing a blank black screen. Try plugging your device in and letting it charge for at least 10 minutes or resetting it as suggested in this article: 
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
If the issue persists, use this article as a guide for restoring the iPhone from recovery mode.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Take care,
-Jason

    If you are the original owner of the phone and know the Apple ID and password that were used to activate it originally, and if you have an existing backup to restore from, you can force it into recovery mode (which will completely erase it) and restore it as explained here: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.  When you do you will encounter activation lock, and will have to provide the ID and password used to activate it originally in order to activate it again.  If you can't, you won't be able to activate and use it.

  • 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. "

    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.

  • Forgotten iPad Passcode after IOS 7 upgrade. Locked out, can't turn off Find my IPad to reset i Pad, Forgotten iPad Passcode after IOS 7 upgrade. Locked out, can't turn off Find my IPad to reset i Pad

    iPad upgraded to IOS7.  Passcode was asked.  I have totally forgotten the passcode.  Connected the iPad to my computer for a reset, but window popped up saying to turn off Find my iPad in Settings.  How can I do this, when I'm locked out ?

    For all of those who are still searching, here's what I did:
    You need to get into "DFU mode".
    In order to do this, you
    1. must have synchronised your ipad with itunes before it was blocked
    2. first connect your iPad to iTunes and there make a backup of your iPad
    3. turn off your ipad and wait at least 5 seconds
    4. connect your ipad to itunes
    5. turn it on again, this time pressing Power and Home button at the same time and holding them for EXACTLY 10 seconds
    6. let go of the Power button while still holding the Home button for EXACTLY another 10 seconds.
    7. Your screen must be black now. There must NOT be a picture of a USB cable on the screen because that would be a different mode than the DFU mode.
    8. Itunes tells you that your device is in DFU mode
    9. Go to the "summary" tab in itunes and click restore iPad
    10. itunes gives a warning that all data will be deleted and your iPad will be reset to factory settings.
    11. You accept and click through the process
    12. In the process, you may reinstall your backup. The password will not be reinstalled.

  • 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.
