How can I turn off "Find My IPhone" when the phone won't turn off but the screen doesn't work?

My IPhone has water damage so the screen has stopped working, even though the phone is still on. I need to restore the phone to send it back to the company, however when I try to restore it on the computer, it prompts that I need to turn of "Find My IPhone" in order to restore the phone. How can I do this on the computer with out use of the IPhone??

You can't.

See this Apple doc -> iCloud: Remove your device from Find My iPhone
All you have to do is browse to iCloud on your computer, click devices, then the X next to your devices name.

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.

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.

iPad 1's can only be updated to IOS 5.1.1. The iPad 1 doesn't have the processing power to handle any higher.

Hi, can someone please tell me why the spell check in pages doesn't work. I went to preferences and enabled this auto spell checker and have set the language to british english. But still it doesn't work while it works perfectly in TextEdit.

Inspector > Text > More > Language
Only applies to selected text, like making it a particular font.
It is not a setting that sticks. If you continue to paste in text from elsewhere particularly the Internet it will have a different or None language set to it. You need to select it and make it B.E.

How can i turn off find my iphone when icloud says no devices connected?

I need to turn of find my iphone but can't because it says no devices connected when i sign into icloud

No...try logging in to iCloud via a computer. Go to your browser and type www.icloud.com then once you are logged in, you go to find my iPhone, under my devices, you should be able to see a list of devices that are linked to your iCloud, select the one you wanna disable and then a banner pops out, just go ahead and click on disable this iPhone and then your iCloud is going to be disabled. But mind you, you have to turn your phone off in the process of doing this. I hope this helps. Let me know if you need any further assistance.

How to turn off Find My Iphone when screen is black?

Hi all, I have an Iphone 4s and the screen has gone black. I have tried to restore thorugh itunes but i have to turn off Find my iphone through setting on my iphone before i can - but I can't. I have tried deleting the account through icloud.com but that hasn't worked eitheir. Can any one help? Thanks

According to Apple support, you cannot remove the phone on the device list under "find my iphone" until you turn it off and it goes offline. (It also says the device will go back on "find my iphone" when it goes online again, which seems to mean you can successfully remove it, but as soon as you turn it back on it will be back on the list, and thus you will not be able to restore it.) It's a bit of a conundrum. In my case I couldn't for some reason turn off my phone with the home/sleep buttons - nothing happens, the phone stays on. While on a chat with Apple support, they got my iphone offline (I was able to turn it off by pressing the sleep button and swiping where the red "turn off iphone" arrow would have appeared) and removed it from "find my phone", but when I reconnected to itunes it turned on and reappeared in the "find my phone" list. Luckily, the screen suddenly appeared (it had done this several times yesterday, just briefly), so I was able to turn off "find my device" from the phone. I was then able to restore. Unfortunately, this does not answer the question of how to remove the device from "find my iphone" and keep it off while connecting with itunes to restore (unless you have my good fortune of having the screen suddently reappear). Apple support seemed puzzled that it had reappeared on the device list under "find my iphone". Time will tell whether the restoration fixes the blank screen issue.

My iphone has been stolen/lost. How can I know whether find my iphone is turn on?

I just lost my iphone. I've lodged a police report. The police said they will blacklist my phone imei/serial number. How to know whether my 'find my iphone' is turn on? Because i'm scared i've disabled it before it lost. I try to track my iphone using find my iphone and it says 'Offline'. Is that means my 'find my iphone' is turn off? If my iphone is blacklisted, can it still works?

Find My iPhone works only if all conditions are true:
1. Find My iPhone must be ON before lost.
2. iPhone has Internet connection (Wi-Fi/Cellular data)
3. iPhone is not switched off.
4. iPhone battery is not dead.
Blacklisting does not affect FMiP.

How to turn off "Find my iPhone" for broken phone before passing it to repair services?

My wife's iPhone 5 is broken (water damage) and would not even switch on. We have an insurance, so it is going to be repaired. However, the repair agency advised us that we have to turn off the "Find my iPhone" function for this phone before we pass it to them for repair.
The problem is that the phone does not turn on at all, so there is no way to turn the feature off directly from the phone. It was possible to remove it from iCloud, but from what I understand it still does not switch "Find my iPhone" off.
Repair agency told us that we have to delete the Apple ID profile completely in order to make the phone repair-able. Is that correct? Is there no other way? I am afraid that if we delete the Apple ID profile, then all the purchased apps will not be accessible any more. Also this ID is in use by other devices (Mac Mini, iPad) so that's not exactly the ideal situation.
Please advise.
Thank you.

I do suspect that they will not be really repairing. However, I was told what I was told, and I just would not like to end up in situation when an iPhone gets comletely locked if they manage to fix it somehow but then it would lock-out because I did not remove it from "Find my iPhone".
I could remove the phone from the account already (as the page you refer to suggests). Will that be sufficient? Erasing it is not possible because it is switched off.

Forgot to turn off find my iphone and reset phone

Didn't turn off find my iphone and sold my 5c. They reset the phone and now can't log out of my icloud on the phone. Tried resetting and now says verification failed an SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made. That comes up everytime I try to delete the icloud or log out, and now I tried to reset the phone again and comes up that message. I logged into icloud online and removed the phone from my icloud. Still nothing!!!

Try removing it at http://icloud.com on the computer.
