Help - unable to remove ipad from icloud device list

I am trying to erase/remove my IOS7 ipad mini from my iCloud account, as I am selling the device.
I have been able to use the iCloud - Find my iPhone function to sucessfully erase the ipad mini. I did this using the browser interface to www.icloud.com from a PC.
I then try to 'remove' the 'erased' ipad and I am getting a recurring :- 'There was a problem sending your request to your device' error in the iCloud, Find my iPhone browser screens.
The device has sucessfully been erased and even if I repeat the device setup and re-associate it with my icloud ID. I get the same problem as above. Furthermore if I try to disassociate from icloud on the device itself by selecting the > general > reset > reset all content and settings option. I am asked for my iCloud login as part of this and I get an error that the device cant connect to iCloud - or something similar.
Any ideas how I get around this, as I basically have an orphaned ipad entry (albeit erased - so none of my data is on it), associated with my iCloud account and I dont want this - obviously..
Thanks..

Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried all that - but it makes no difference. Will see if speaking to apple support can help.

How to remove iPad from iCloud account

How do I remove an iPad I am selling from my iCloud account? I have reset it to factory settings, is that enough?

That should be enough. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661.

If it's still asking for the seller's Apple ID and password, then he most likely did not actually remove the iPhone from iCloud. If the problem persists, return the iPhone and get your money back. The seller can figure out the problem and resell the iPhone later.

Just got ipad mini and would like to remove old ipad from iCloud - how do I do this?

I just got an ipad mini and would like to remove my old ipad from iCloud (but keep the mini in the iCloud) how do I do this?

What is it you want to remove? You can remove the backup of your old iPad by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Documents>Manage Storage, then tap the name of your old iPad under Backups and scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Backup. To remove iCloud from your old iPad, go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account at the bottom. If you want to keep a copy of the synced data on your old iPad be sure to choose Keep on iPad when prompted.

Check the settings on your iPad:
1. "Settings > General > Restrictions"
and also
2. "Settings > General > Accessibility" here Learning/Guided Access

After the restore did the phone work properly for a while? Say, a day or so?
If so it is possible you have an app that doesn't let go of memory properly. I reboot my iPhone ( hold sleep/wake and hole till you see the apple logo) every few days. This resets the memory. The iPhone OS has doesn't seem to mange memory very well yet. So a reboot will help with that. I have had my phone almost slow to a stop before I started rebooting. Always reboot after installing a new app. Also do you close all pages in Safari when you are done? This is a good practice. Safari will run in the background and use processor time and drain your battery quicker. Create a new blank page then close all others when you are done browsing for a while. I have also found that certain web site that have animated images like weather maps will turn the phone into molasses. As soon as i close that page it gets faster.
If all of the above have no effect then as Tamara said it is time for a trip to the Genius bar.
Good luck

I have all my devices connected to iCloud. I would like a reduced contact list on my iPhone without removing any from my master list on my computer. How do I delete contact numbers from my phone without disrupting the master list on my computer?

Are you trying to reduce the visual clutter on the phone, save space on the phone, or limit the security exposure if your phone is stolen?
If you are only wanting to reduce the visual clutter and make scrolling through the list faster, you could set up a group on the computer containing only the contacts you want to see on my phone (called, for example, "Show on my Phone") and enable only that group inside Contacts on the phone. You might even have one or more existing groups that you could enable that way (maybe "Family" and "Personal").

Yesterday, I downloaded I.O.S. 8 to both my iPhone and my wife's iPad at the same time. She wants I.O.S. 8 removed. How do I remove it from both devices? I am willing to resort to my old IOS7.1.2.

Remove albums from iCloud

Using iCloud.com I removed all my photos from iCloud. Now they are in an album of recently deleted. Is there any way to remove them from that album or remove that album or do I need to wait 30 days for them to purge them selves?

There is no option to delete the photos before the 30 days are up using the web interface. But you can delete them before this from an iOS device or on your Mac: From the icon Help:
You can remove items from your iOS device or Mac before the 30-day time period is up. For instructions on removing them from your iOS device, see Use iCloud Photo Library on your iOS device. To remove photos from your Mac, see Access your photos and videos everywhere with iCloud Photo Library.

I did erase ipad from icloud. My ipad is not turning on now. How can i turn my ipad on. its ipad mini IOS 7.0.4

"I did erase ipad from icloud. My ipad is not turning on now. How can i turn my ipad on? its ipad mini IOS 7.0.4"
Pls help m out.
thanks

Connect the iPad to a charger, let it charge for half an hour, then try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears.
If that does not work, start iTunes on your computer, connect the USB end of the cable, then press and hold the power button on the iPad and connect the other end of the cable. Hold the power button for three seconds, and while continuing to hold it, press and hold the home button. Continue to hold both buttons for ten seconds and then release the power button but continue to hold the home button for another twenty seconds.
When you release the home button, iTunes should now see the iPad and allow you to restore it.

TS4605 why cant i receive mail on my ipad from icloud, but I can send mails?

Why can't I recieve mails on my ipad from icloud? I can send mails no problems there. This has only recently happened before it was working fine. When I go to check for new mails I get the following message: Cannot Get Mail The connection to the server failed. Please help, this is very fustrating.

I can hear that frustration for sure. I deal with it every day.
I would continue to push the landline provider over and over and over. They provide you with the landline service. They cannot complete the call to your cell phone. Everyone else can. Therefore it is their responsibility to make it work or at least give you a reasonable detailed explanation as to why it doesn't work so you could at least take the next appropriate steps. Do you have a trouble ticket number with the landline provider? Make sure they give you a trouble ticket number if you don't. Without a trouble ticket number you will have to continually repeat yourself every time you call them. With a ticket number every time you call you could tell the technician to reference that ticket number.
Like I said when you're talking with someone in a managerial position request that they do call traces while you are making the call from the landline in real time. They should be able to see what happens to the call as it comes into and leaves their network. If they give you any call clearing or failure codes please document them and repeat them here.
I would also ask the Rep to also make a test call to your cell phone and see what happens. If they can and you can't then it is clearly a problem with a switch on their network.
Good luck.
P.s. I typed this whole message using dictation on my iPhone five so hopefully it all came out right if not I apologize if it sounds confusing.
