How do you turn off find my Iphone without being able to connect to the internet?

I cannot turn the find my IPhone feature off on my old phone since there is no service because I activated my new 6 and the Wi-Fi is burned out on the old phone.  Need to turn this off for trade in purposes, but cant.  I have tried recovery mode through iTunes, but it does not delete any data on the phone or reset any feature.  Please help.

Log onto icloud.com on a computer and see if you can turn it off on there.

    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.

  • 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 do i turn off "find my iphone"?

    my phone is in for repairs and the shop say that I have to turn off "find my iphone", because otherwise they can not make it. How do I turn it off when I'm on computer?

    Hi josegrøn,
    Apple Help says:
    Remove an iOS device or Mac on which you can’t turn off Find My iPhone
    If you can’t turn off Find My iPhone on the device, turn off the device so it goes offline, then remove it from Find My iPhone on iCloud.com.
    Turn off the device.
    Sign in to icloud.com/#find on another computer with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
    Click All Devices, select the offline device, then click Remove from Account. If you don’t see Remove from Account, click All Devices again, then click the Delete (x) button next to the device.
    Regards,

  • How can I turn off find my iPhone to restore when it won't let me into my phone settings.

    I went to use my phone last night and suddenly it says activation is required (which I'm not sure I understand alone) but I began to go through the steps and it says it can not activate because the beta has expired and I need to do a system restore. So I proceeded to do the system restore by plugging into iTunes and it tells me it  cannot do a restore unless I turn off find my iPhone but my phone will not allow me to look at any settings other than my wifi settings in its current state. How can I turn this off to proceed and what is going on with my phone in general?

    Force it into recovery mode to restore it as explained here: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.  Sometimes you have to do this more than once to be successful.  After restoring, you'll have to restore an existing backup, if you have one.

  • How to turn off find my iphone without knowing icloud password

    I just bought an Iphone 6+.
    Backed up data and settings from old Iphone 5 onto Itunes and used Restore on new Iphone 6+ but contacts from old phone did not appear on new phone.
    Tried backing up data from old Iphone 5 again onto Itunes.  However, when I tried to Restore again on Iphone 6+, I got a message saying I need to turn off Find my Iphone.  Unfortunately, Iphone requires Icloud password in order to turn off Find my Iphone feature and I am locked out of Icloud due to too many failed attempts.  I also cannot use the Icloud account associated with the old Iphone 5 as I cannot remember the answers to the security questions and I do not think I entered an alternate email address.
    Anyway, short of wiping my new Iphone 6+, is there any way of turning off the Find My Iphone feature without keying in a icloud password?
    On another note, I tried erasing all data and settings but could not because I had to key in a Restrictions passcode and I do not even know how a Restrictions passcode even got into my new Iphone 6+!.  1 way I am trying now is to key in my normal passcode wrongly more than 10x so that whole phone will be wiped but I am now at the stage where I have to wait 1 hr before entering another wrong passcode.
    If anyone knows how to contact Apple so that I can ask them to reactivate my icloud account so that I can try some more passwords, that would be helpful.

  • 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?

  • TS4006 How do I turn off Find My Iphone from my PC

    I downloaded the new IOS& software into my Iphone 5 and I was trying to set the switch controls to make it easier to retrieve Apple Radio. Anyhow, I have locked myself out of my phone because the switch controls will not allow any button to work on the Iphone screen. I want to reset Iphone to an earlier time but I cannot because I can't turn off Find My Iphone from my Iphone settings. Is their anyway to do this from my computer so I can reset my iphone?

    My problems is that the Settings App keeps crashing, so I cannot go into Settings to turn off Find My Phone.
    I need to Restore my phone to,hopefully, get Settings to work again.  But I can't do a Restore until I turn off Find My Phone, which I can't do because Settings keeps crashing. 
    Talk about a vicious circle.  
    I went into iCloud/Find My Phone on my laptop and removed my phone.  I then went to iTunes to try a Restore but it STILL says I have to turn off Find My Phone.  I have done that three times now.
    Should I also take the step "Erase My Phone?"  I have a great  fear of doing that because what happens if I erase the phone and it STILL won't restore?  Then I'll be totally screwed.
    This all started because I updated to 7.1 yesterday. 
    Thanks, Apple!

  • How do you get iphoto to recognize that a computer really is connected to the internet?  I cannot use places to locate my photos, because the software keeps telling me my computer is not connected.  I know the computer is connected.

    How do I get iphoto to recognize that a computer really is connected to the internet?  I cannot use places to locate my photos, because the software keeps telling me my computer is not connected.  I know the computer is connected.

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. It the problem persists  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    If the new library does'nt have that problem then your original library is damaged. Post back if that's the case and we'll go from there.
