Hi!
I need to fix my iPad on IOS 7.
It has the password locked and says connect to iTunes I did, and synced it. Also tried to restore with backup from last May.
I know how to get it restored so the password fixes but...
The computer says "Turn off Find My iPad before restoring"
If I can't access the iPad's Settings how will I turn it off?
Please! Help!
It also may take a bit for Apple servers to update your information. You are sure it is this iPad that you removed from your Apple ID?
I would wait an hour or so and try it again. You may want to put it in Recovery Mode:

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

trying to restore my iPad 2 but it says "turn off Find my iPad" on your device.
How its possible to turn it off since my iPad is in Safe ModeWhat do you mean by 'safe mode', do you mean that it's in recovery mode ? You should be able to log into your account on http://www.icloud.com and remove the iPad from the Find My iPhone section of your account

I don't know if I'm repeating my question. I can't restore my ipad after updating to latest ios. The battery went low, I had to eject and plug in to charge. The set up will not complete without resoring from icloud or itunes (i backed up to computer using itunes) or setting up the ipad as a New ipad. I want to restore all my stuff but the message I get in itune says "Find my ipad must be turned off before 'ipad' can be restored". Go to icloud settings on your ipad and turn off Find My iPad before restoring your iPad.". I cant' get to this setting on my ipad because the set up is not complete!!! I'm stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm afraid if I set up the ipad as new it will backup the new ipad over my previous backup and then I will loose all my photos, songs, aps, notes,......
I have the same problem and we can't simply just restore from the backup. It says that I have to set up my iPad through restoring. So I tried restoring it in iTunes but it won't restore until I have to turn off this **** "Find My iPad" crap but I couldn't because the set up's not complete and it won't let me go to my settings unless I set it up. So basically it's asking me to go to my settings but before I could go to it I have to restore, and in order to restore I have to go to settings. Get where I'm at?
Please, Apple Tech people! Help this 14 year old girl on her period, PMS-ing, thinking about how I want to strangle however made this mistake of a set up, updating her iPad in 3 am in the morning cursing the day she even thought of updating. I seriously need to get out of this loophole. I don't want to use my other iPad that only has 16GB. I just wanted the pretty graphics I saw in my parent's iPad airs, I don't ask for anything more :''''( -
Forgot password on iPad and need to turn off 'find my iPad'
I forgot the password on my iPad so I need to reset it but when I go to reset it, the computer says I need to turn off 'find my iPad' but just recently I deleted my iPad device off of 'find my iphone' on my iPhone how do I turn it off if I can't even find the device anymore?
I've tried iCloud.comSee the procedures below for removing a device from Find My iPhone when you can't do it on the device itself.

I forgot the password on my iPad; I have it backed up on my Mac, so I saw that I just should back up from iTunes. I tried to do that, but it says to first turn off "Find my iPad", which obviously I cannot do because I don't have my password!! Help!

How can I turn off "find my ipad" to restore to factory settings if screen is not working?
How can I turn off "Find My iPad" to restore to factory settings if screen is not working? I can't get access to the apps on my mini pad. I can see the device when I'm in iTunes.
Try resetting the iPad by holding the home and power keys down until the Apple logo appears.

iPad upgraded to IOS7. Passcode was asked. I have totally forgotten the passcode. Connected the iPad to my computer for a reset, but window popped up saying to turn off Find my iPad in Settings. How can I do this, when I'm locked out ?
For all of those who are still searching, here's what I did:
You need to get into "DFU mode".
In order to do this, you
1. must have synchronised your ipad with itunes before it was blocked
2. first connect your iPad to iTunes and there make a backup of your iPad
3. turn off your ipad and wait at least 5 seconds
4. connect your ipad to itunes
5. turn it on again, this time pressing Power and Home button at the same time and holding them for EXACTLY 10 seconds
6. let go of the Power button while still holding the Home button for EXACTLY another 10 seconds.
7. Your screen must be black now. There must NOT be a picture of a USB cable on the screen because that would be a different mode than the DFU mode.
8. Itunes tells you that your device is in DFU mode
9. Go to the "summary" tab in itunes and click restore iPad
10. itunes gives a warning that all data will be deleted and your iPad will be reset to factory settings.
11. You accept and click through the process
12. In the process, you may reinstall your backup. The password will not be reinstalled. -
How can i turn off Find My iPad without using the iPad?
My swipe screen has stopped working completely on my iPad. Very disappointing as it is only 18 months old and has been well looked after! I have tried holding down the off/on button and menu button to reboot but this doesn't work. I have now logged the fault with Apple and have an appointment to see someone in the support team this Monday. However, I wanted to try one more thing. I want to restore to factory settings as I've read that this could resolve the problem. When I plug it in to iTunes and try to restore iPad i get a warning message telling me I need to go to iCloud settings on my iPad and turn off Find My iPad before restoring. As I cannot use the iPad I cant do it from there. Is there another way? Please help me, I want to weep!

3. Repeat the process if necessary. -
