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.

  • How can you activate find my iphone if you dont have the device you need to find

    I wasnt aware that i had to activate find my iphone and Apple themselves are being useless in helping. Is there anyway i can activate it without having the device as i have obviously lost it. or is there anyway of displaying a message even though it isnt registerted?

    No and no.
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order

  • HT1414 How can I unlock my at&t iphone 4s once I have the approval from at&t?

    Just got approval for Iphone unlock from at&t, it was verified at their site by entering serial number and request code.
    I opened Itunes and upgraded to latest version, did the same with iphone.
    I then did a back up and a full restore on my iphone.  I did this with my old att sim inside, with my new h20 sim, without a sim to no avail.
    I am frustrated and about to give up on this unlocking!  please help!
    Steps were:
    1- update
    2- backup
    3- restore to factory settings
    4- backup restore (tried backup restore to "new" and to old backup with same results)
    5- sit back and get frustrated, stay up till 4am and still got frustrated!  at this time I was supposed to have seen the "congratulations your phone is unlocked' message but it never showed up.
    How can i tell if this is working?  I have tried iphoneadmin.com and it keeps showing that is locked!
    Is anyone at att or apple working on this problem?

    It can take several days after getting approval before the unlock is ready to be processed. If you just got the approval, give it a few days, then try the restore again.

  • Not a question but a complaint.  The new ITunes software doesn't support the IPhone.  It is extremely difficult to find your IPhone, what applications are on the phone and to re-sync new and updated applications.  It is focused on selling and not support.

    The new ITunes software for Windows, ITunes vers. 11.0.1.12, is extemely clumsy for managing my IPhone 4.  The help material is designed for the older version so is of no use.  The interface is extremely difficult to use except for buying music or video.  I'm trying to managing updating applications and syncing with my IPhone but there I can't find a drop-down menu or anything on help that tells me how to get to the IPhone window so I can initiate a re-sync on my IPhone.  This is very frustrating because Apple is supposed to make things "intuitive" and have "good" help.  Well, it's NOT intuitive and there is NO HELP.  You need to fix this.  I mean a terrible map application and now this terrible interface.  Nothing but downhill since Jobs left us.  Just remember, we all bolted from Microsoft because of this sort of crap and we can all bolt to Android if you keep up this trend.

    Ctrl + B to show the Top Menu
    View > Show Sidebar
    View > Show Staus Bar
    Deactivate Search Entire Library to speed things up.
    This should make managing your iPhone the same as it was before.

  • HT201365 How can I set up find my iPhone so that my wife can find it from her phone

    How can I set up find my iPhone so that my wife can find it from her phone

    Find my iPhone is tied to the iCloud account set up on the device.  If you set up your iCloud account on your device, the only way for her to track it on her phone would be to use the free Find My iPhone app and login with your AppleID and password.

  • How can i logout of find my iphone on a old device I ain't got

    How can i logout of find my iphone on a old device I ain't got

    Welcome to the Apple community.
        1.    Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
        2.    Select the device from their Find My iPhone device list by clicking All Devices at the top of the screen.
        3.    Erase the device by clicking the Erase button. This will erase all content and settings from the device. When prompted, do not enter a phone number or message. Click Next until the device is erased.
        4.    When the erase is complete, click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from the account.

  • How can I delete an app from launchpad, that doesn't have the little cross in the left top corner. The app isn't an App Store app. The application is also not present anymore in my application's folder in finder.

    How can I delete an app from launchpad, that doesn't have the little cross in the left top corner. The app isn't an App Store app. The application is also not present anymore in my application's folder in finder.
    I tried to use the attached command through TERMINAL :
    sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db "DELETE from apps WHERE title='Help';" && killall Dock
    sqlite3: Error: too many options: "DELETE from apps WHERE title='Help';"
    Use -help for a list of options.
    But i didn't work as I got the above error message.
    best regards

    I'm in the same boat as you -- except that I manage both a school lab (volunteer job) and macs in the enterprise (pay job).  What I think we need is the Education Volume Purchasing Program
    http://www.apple.com/education/volume-purchase-program/faq.html
    Unfortunately this all seems a little rough around the edges -- for example, I have found updates for AppStore apps on the support.apple.com updates download site, but then when I install them via ARD they don't actually update the software.  (The AppStore icons still show as needing the updates, and the version info reports the old version.)  The documentation is also vague about which AppleID to use in which circumstance.  I think they just haven't finished thinking through the implications of the various procedures and policies upon the various kinds of customers.  When we deployed Mountain Lion on the school lab, we made an install usb and went around and installed it on each computer -- and it appears that you are on the honor system as far as paying for all of the licenses that you install.  We did!  But they appear to have no way to enforce it.
    So far, I have only deployed 9 Lion macs in my day job, and our "solution" to the AppStore showing updates problem has been to drag the AppStore icon off of the users' docks so they don't see them!

  • How can i stay logged in on iPhone Skype after i delete the app from the 'current' apps?

    How can i stay logged in on iPhone Skype after i delete the app from the 'current' apps?
    Thanks for ur answers !

    You are correct. There is no other way to recover this material, and yes it would have been a good idea to backup the iPhone prior to the restore. Remember that a restore to a previous date deletes everything on the device and puts it back to the state of things on the date you choose. The texts and contacts would be gone. Did you possibly sync the contacts with a supported application on the computer? That is the only other way to recover contacts. They are designed to be synced with a supported application on the computer, or with a cloud service such as iCloud, Google or Yahoo.

    How can I get help finding a specific textbook to purchase in the iBook store?

    Is there some reason you cannot provide the exact title here as was  requested?
    If the book is not in the Apple store, you will have to get it from another one, such as Amazon, Nook, Kobo, Google, Sony.  Each of them has apps to read the books  you get from them.

  • How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?

    How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?
    You need your password to delete it and I need the email address to reset the password.  I feel like I'm going in circles!!!  Please help!!!

    Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address (you shouldn't need to verify the old account).  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
