How do I turn off "find my phone" when phone is dead

I washed my iPhone 4s last week.  I just got my replacement phone.  I want to restore from iCloud (for my calendar) and iTunes (for everthing else like contacts, etc.) but when I try to do that it says I have to turn off "find my phone" from my old iPhone.  My old phone's display is dead so I can't do anything on it.  It still rings when I get a call but I can't answer it.  I can't find anyway to get around this.  Please help anyone.

I found the help I needed from the list on "More like this".

  • 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.

  • Turn off "find my ipod" when you are locked out.

    How do I turn off "find my ipod" when I am locked out of my ipod and I want to reset and then backup?

    There is no way to backup the iPod
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    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.

  • Need to turn off Find My Phone.

    I installed 7.0.6 on my 4S yesterday and today my screen is not responding. I've tried syncing the phone to iTunes and everything backs up; however, when I click restore I receive a message stating that I have to turn off Find My Phone before I can proceed. Since I cannot get into my phone (except via Siri) I tried to log in through the iCloud website/iTunes and delete the app from the phone but that didn't work. I also noticed that the phone thinks that I have headphones connected when I do not.
    Currently I can reset the phone but I cannot turn it off, I can access the iCloud settings on the phone via Siri but I can't scroll to turn off Find My Phone.
    I'm not sure how to proceed from here but any help is appreciated.

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

    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.

  • HT201365 how do I turn off find my iphone?

    I'm trying to restore a backup, but I keep getting a request to turn off Find My iPhone. It says that I should go to iCloud Settings and turn off Find My iPhone. However, on the iCloud Settings, Find My iPhone is greyed out.
    I don't want to restore my iPhone to factory settings and Restore from backup because I get an error message at the end (saying that either the device - 4S - is not compatible or the backup is corrupt). I restored it once to factory setting and then managed to restore from an old back up (April). Now I'm stuck at this point. Why is it so difficult to find simple instructions from Apple?
