How do I turn off "find my iphone" from the computer?
The phone was disabled and I cannot restore and back up until I turn off this feature

You can access iCloud.com on a computer to turn it off.

  • How can i get back deleted text messages, my phone has been bcakup after i knew the messages had gone, please help these messages are very important to me. anu help would be great   many thanks

    i have a iphone 4s

    Are you on iOS 7? Because if so I too had the same problem. What I did was go into my messages and I went to create a new message. Then in the field that says "To", type the person/contacts name and then go into the message box. After that all of your deleted messages should reappear.

  • My ipad has been disabled and off for a year and it doesnt want to turn on is there any way i can restart or turn on?

    My ipad has been disabled and off for almost a year already i want to restart my ipad but doesnt want to charge is there any way i can make my ipad turn on or restart i alreaady tried charging it for acouple hours and clicking the middle and top button at the same time but it still doesnt work.... is there any other way to restart my ipad?

    You don't just click the home and sleep button, you have to hold them down for at least 10 seconds while it is connected to the charger. If it comes awake (and it could take several tries) ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo and then let go of the buttons.
    But that may not work. Polymer Ion batteries need exercise, a full power cycle is recommended once a month. Your battery may be dead.

    See:
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
    Basically you will have to transfer its contents to the new computer and then restore the iPod and then resync. An iPod can only sync to one iTunes library.
    BTW you posted in the iPod touch forum.

    Why did you mark your post as solved?
    You will be better off posting in either the Lion or the iPhoto forum areas as this area is for Macbook Pro issues.  You are having software issues.

    Doublechecking ... you get that when you use the following procedure?
    In your Start menu, right-click "Computer" (or "My Computer" if using XP) and select "Manage".
    Expand "Services & Applications".
    Open "Services". (Perhaps maximise the screen to better see what's going on.)
    Right-click the Bonjour Service and select "Properties".
    In the General tab, set the Startup type to "Automatic":
    ... and click OK.
    Restart the PC. Do you still get the message about the service being disabled?

  • HT1212 I was given an ipod and it has been disabled and I have tried to hook it up to itunes but it won't sync....how can I reset the whole thing so I can use it?

    I was given an ipod and it has been disabled and I have tried to hook it up to itunes and it won't sync

    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

    How do i restore my iphone when it has been disabled and cannot be restored through itunes because of the error message that says "The iphone software update server could not be contacted

    Have you jailbroken this device? This will make the iPhone not talk to the Software Update Server (that signs and accepts software updates) please refer to the following link? Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
    The iPhone will talk to the software update servers, just need to change the host files, it's a simple process, sorry if you were confused about the wording in to top?

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

    What IP does your iPad show as having?
    Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo.
    Some folks have discovered that changing their DNS service fixes FaceTime connection issues.
    The ideal way is to configure your modem/router with DNS service, but often settings in System Preferences/Network on your Mac will override the router settings. Try either of these;
    OpenDNS
    208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
    Google Public DNS
    8.8.8.8. 8.8.4.4
