HT1212 My phone is locked and I am trying to restore it but I cannot because Find My iPhone is on and I have to turn it off before I can restore but I cant get into my phone

Help me please!

Go to icloud.com & erase the iphone through the Find My iPhone feature on the website. It will disable the feature to be able restore it. Also with doing this it will then remove the passcode lock that is currently on the device as well. If there is the activation lock on the device you will need the apple id & the password to continue with accessing the device.

    Hi, Jennifer.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that VoiceOver has been activated and you are unable to access your device.  I have done this myself and here are the steps to disable this feature.  
    VoiceOver
    Press the home button three times quickly (formerly "Triple-click home").
    Accessibility Shortcut
    Managing Accessibility features using iTunes
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to any computer with iTunes installed.
    In iTunes, select your device.
    From the Summary pane, click > Configure Universal Access in the Options section at the bottom.
    Select the feature you would like to use and click OK.
    Use Accessibility features in iOS

  • HT4061 my iphones lock button is broken, and the screen is not cracked but all the settings are set off to the side and i cant type ion my passcode to get into the phone and i cant get into the phone to reset it

    I have the iphone 5
    my lock button is broken
    my screen is off set and i cannot type in my password to get into the phone and reset the phone
    how or what do i have to do to fix this?
    and im at work so i cant get the serial number to you

    my lock button is broken
    If your lock button is broken, the only solution is to get the phone replaced or repaired.  There is no way to reset the phone without a functioning lock button.
    and im at work so i cant get the serial number to you
    This is a user to user tech support form, not Apple support.  The S/N wouldn't provide any solution regardless.

  • HT4623 i cant get into my phone to update it just keeps telling me to plug into itunes and as soon as i take it off charge to plug it into itunes the phone switches off do you know how to get around this?

    i cant get into my iphone to update it when on charge it tells me to plug in to itunes and when i take it off the charge to plug it into itunes the screen goes blank and when i plug it into the pc the apple symbol will come up for a few seconds then the screen goes blank and it keeps doing that anyone know what the problem is??

    Try placing the device in DFU mode (google it).
    If it will not enter DFU mode, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • Cant get into my phone

    A friend of mine has put a security pin onto my phone. I have to enter this pin number to read messages make phone calls ect. Problem is I dont know it and the friend in question did this when I dropped him at the airport to go on a Holiday for 5 months. So I cant use my phone and I have no way of contacting him, Cant anybody suggest something that I can do. I cant live without my phone.

    If it's asking for a pin code then contact your network operator as this is a sim card code and they can easily reset it.
    If it's a security code then all you can do is take it to a nokia care point and ask them to reset it. They will need to see proof of ownership to ensure that you are it's rightful owner and that it's not a stolen handset.
    That is all that you can do if you are unable to contact your "friend".
