If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device.

  • HT1212 My phone is disabled.  I tried to restore it, but it says to turn off "Find My iPhone".  I can't turn it off because I cant' access the phone?

    I am unable to restore my iphone, because it has become disabled.  When I go to restore, it says to turn off "Find My iPhone" app.  I can't, because it is disabled.  I deleted the app and it still says the same thing.  Any ideas?

    The Find My iPhone app has nothing to do with this. Deleting the Find My iPhone app which is used to find another iOS device or Mac computer you own or for someone else to find their iPhone or iOS device with your iPhone does not turn off Find My iPhone with your iCloud account settings on your iPhone.

    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.

  • I want to delete an iCloud account from my iPhone. It says I have to turn off 'Find my iPhone'. I can't do that because the applied on the iPhone is an old one to which I don't have access anymore. What do I do?

    For some reason the iCloud account on my iPhone has reverted to an old Appleid. I now can't get rid of it for the above reason--I can't turn 'Find my iPhone' off since that old appleid is no longer active and I don't have access to the email address since its from an old job. I am in a catch 22. I can't move for

    If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, 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 can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished 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.

  • I have a mac notebook and time capsule.  I got a message that my startup disc is almost full.  not sure where to go from here.  if i delete files will they still be on the time capsule.

    I have a Mac notebook and back up to time capsule. I  Got a message that my statup disc is almost full and I need to delete files.   Not sure which files it means and will i lose my files if they are saved on the time capsule.

    Visit
    The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on the hard drive. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
    About TM "Backup Drive is Full"
    Alert TM only deletes older files if they have been deleted from the source and when TM needs space on the backup drive for a new incremental backup. Time Machine "thins" it's backups; hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first of the day; those "daily" backups over 30 days old, except the first of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there's room.
    So, how long a backup file remains depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming you do at least one backup per day. If it was there for at least 24 hours, it will be kept for at least a month. If it was there for at least a week, it will be kept as long as there's room.
    Note, that on a Time Capsule the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but doesn't shrink. Thus, from the user's view of the TC it appears that no space has been freed, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.
    Once TM has found it cannot free up enough space for a new backup it reports the disk is full. You can either erase the backup drive and start your backups anew or replace the drive with a larger drive.

  • Ort Express- my network suddenly not showing up. System preferences, advanced/network shows network. Opened Airport Utility options grayed out except configure other but no luck. No set up assistant option to reenter.  Not sure where to go from here?.

    Airport Express.
    My network suddenly not showing up.  Openend system preferences/Network & my network is there. When I open Airport Utility, most option are grayed out except "configure other" with no change.  Utility does not provide option for setup assistant where I could just start over.  So no wifi without network set up and can't use ethernet/router to troubleshoot.  I am stuck any assistance helpful.

    So I went back to the PC after my original post, and somehow I was able to connect to the AirPort wireless network in the Windows Wireless Network List. Once I did this, it showed up in the AirPort Utility, and I was able to access the internet. I have no idea what fixed the problem, but maybe it was simply a matter of waiting a few minutes before connecting to the network?

  • I've been using Lightoom 4.4 now for a while and i've always been able to load straight to Flickr. I clicked "authorize" over and over, yet the website doesn't open up where i click to authorize it. not sure where to go from here

    and apparently i typed all this is the wrong field, lol

    There have been a number of reports about flakiness with publishing to Flickr.  Some of the reports seem related to LR 4 and perhaps upgrading to Yosemete (OS X 10.10), others for LR 5.  You could try the LR 5 free trial to see if that fixes the problem (and then pay for the upgrade to LR 5, or wait an unknown amount of time to upgrade to LR 6, or move to LR CC).
    Over the years Adobe has been very slow to respond to issues with publishing to services like Flickr and Facebook and they rarely communicate with customers about specific problems.  You try this third-party Flickr plugin. The author has an excellent reputation and, unlike Adobe, he is very responsive.  (He helped design the LR publishing-plugin architecture for Adobe.)

    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.                        
    Note:   If you have an iOS device, you can also remove your device by first erasing it—just follow the instructions below to remove a device you don’t have. You can later restore the device from an iCloud or iTunes backup.                            
                               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.                                                      If the device comes online again, it will reappear in Find My iPhone. To make sure your device doesn’t reappear, turn off Find My iPhone on the device (follow the instructions above to remove an iOS device or Mac), or if you have an iOS device, you can erase it, then remove it (follow the instructions below to remove an iOS device you no longer have).

  • I need to turn off 'find my iPhone' so that I am able to restore my phone but my screen is not working. I logged into my iCloud but was not able to turn it from here. How do I do this?!

    My iPhone 4 screen stopped working. The phone is still on but the screen is not working at all, it is juts black. I was told restoring my phone might solve this problem so i plugged it into iTunes. When I click on the restore iPhone button a message popped up saying I needed to turn off 'find my iPhone' in phone settings for the restore to be go ahead. Problem is I cant access my phone!
    I went onto my cloud account to see if i could do it from here but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Any ideas?

    From your iCloud account, you can go to Find My Phone and remove the iPhone from your devices list which will release it, or you could do a remote erase of the iPhone from iCloud.
