Reset your iPhone (hold down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons) and then see if the option appears.

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.

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.

How to turn off data on iPhone since recent iTunes carrier setting update?

In the past few days my iphone has been using 3G for data and I have no control over it. At home it is connected to my wifi internet which has always been the case and which is fine but when I leave home it turns on data via 3G and there is no way off easily turning it off short of going into aeroplane mode or turning phone off altogether. I Only became alerted when I got an sms telling me my balance was low on my prepaid (with Telstra) when I knew I should have had plenty of money left on balance. Lucky I've only had about $20 used - how am I to know the phone in my pocket has been always connected. The problem has arisen since a carrier setting update a few days ago via Itunes. I can turn off 3G but then the phone just reverts to 2G and the data keeps flowing !
There is no where to alter the cellular data network or APN settings since I installed a 3G sim .... previously with a 2G SIM you could enter cellular data network menu and enter APN username and password but these have both gone.
This is a major problem and could be very costly if someone does not realise it quickly .
Any solutions .... will speak to telco later today but they will inevitably deny an responsibility as they do !

Unfortunately this may be contrary to the terms of the agreement that I have just agreed to so as to be able to participate in this thread but I consider the inability to limit the data access, to provide the owner with the option to explicitly authorise data access requested by an application as not just "bill shock" but THEFT. We require some consumer advocacy.
I am a prepaid client who only wishes to use the data based apps when wifi is available. The workaround that worked until two days ago was amending the APN but now, on an iPhone purchased at the Apple store in Sydney and presumably an officially unlocked phone, no longer displays the APN option. Despite being very aware of the vulnerable state of the phone and the need to avoid any data based application I yesterday I still managed to incur two unwanted data charges of $18 and $9. I consider that THEFT. Even on a data plan I would be unable to satisfactorily control data usage.
When the unwanted data exhausts my current prepaid balance, as it has several times in the past, I will have to convert my iPhone into an iPod Touch and obtain another phone. I certainly will investigate whether Android permits controlling data access.
I am very disappointed as I believe the range of apps provides a compelling argument for the iPhone but the customer's inability to control data usage is unacceptable.

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.

How to turn off 3g on Iphone 5 while keeping cellualar data on??

I have problem with this function on Iphone 5. I still want my iphone to receive email, imessage while keeping 3g mode off, as I don't subscribe for the unlimited package.
However I found my iphone 5 still having 3g sign on permanently even I turn off the 3g mode. It doesn't work like my iphone 4 did. This really disappointed me indeed

Thank you for your help. However I'm actually looking for a solution where I also have no access to Wi-fi as well.

HT1476 how to turn off sound while iPhone is charging?

The chirp noise is totally annoying.
I leave unread mail in my inbox and so that may be why?
Anyway, it makes more noise than any device I've ever owned, and I'm sure there's a setting I can't see to turn it off.
But how?

I have to agree this is the most annoying thing about the iPhone. The chirp when it charges. I had a situation the other night where my phone was on analog roam (uses a lot of power) and ever couple of minutes it would chirp (assume it was because it found a network, charged, and then went analog and discharged and the cycle repeated!!).
The phone was next to my bed since I use it as an alarm clock. Basically using the mute switch toatally makes the iPhone usesless as an alarm clock which is why it was next to my bed! Apple seriously needs to fix this issue.
Dear Apple, please make the battery notification sound user selectable. Thanks.

How to turn off double tap feature?

I have a new iPod touch and the double tap feature is annoying. Does anyone know how to turn it off?

I think you have the accessibility VoiceOver feature turned on.
Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:

I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

Apple ID's are not device specific, so when you changed it on the iPad 2 it changed it on the iPhone 4 as well, since it's the same account still. What you need to do is create a second Apple ID (so you'll have two accounts, one for iPhone 4 and a seperate one for iPad 2).
To create a new Apple ID on your iPad 2:
1) Go into Settings > Store.
2) If you are already signed in, tap your Apple ID on the screen and you will be given a few options, one of which is to sign out of your account.
3) After you sign out, now click the "Sign in" button.
4) Tap "Create New Apple ID" and follow the instructions on-screen.
