Unfortunately, you won't be able to track your device, if you turned off Find My iPhone before you lost it.

I have forgotten to turn off the FIND MY iPhone appplication before i reset up the phone, Now it's asking me to verify with apple or icloud ID but when i entered the same ID which was registered with itune & icloud, It says INCORRECT. It's been already 03 days, I am asking help with apple care centre, UAE, Head qurter, UK, USA but they are just sending me a link to reset up which still doesn't work. I am really dissapointed that i have wasted my 700 US dollar. Is it true that i can't use anymore this iPhone if i can't unlock? or there is any one to help in Dubai, Since i am staying in Dubai. I had called Dubai authorised care cantre. They asked my apple serial & IMEI number, They said ' the serial number is based on USA support but i bought in retail shop in UAE, They are also helpless. I am really unhappy with Apple sevice what they provide the customer. If it's so complicated the i wouldnt buy iPhone. Why they can't reset up my iphone like new mobile using their software. Please help me if anyone of you have solution for this. I am really sad that i wasted 700 USD. Can someone help me??

Hi. I have recently finished with an emplyer and have backed up my phone and when i go to restore the back up to another phone it is asking me to turn off the "find my iphone" before the restore can start. Pronlem is im no longer in possesion of this phone and can not turn it off.
Any assistance would be greatIt's not referring to your old phone, it's referreing to the one you're trying to restore to. Where did you get the phone you're trying to restore the backup to?

I just got an iPhone 5s, and I restored from a previous back up (mistake) and now I can't restore the phone to start again without "turning off the find my iphone setting" but it's using an old email address as the icloud login, which i don't have a password to / never used for an icloud account. I have gone and changed my settings to a different email on my icloud / apple ID but on my phone it won't let me change the email address for icloud, it's greyed over and keeps trying to verify?
Welcome to the Apple community.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

I'm trying to update my iphone 4 and in order to compelte the restore backup from itunes i need to turn off the 'find my iphone' but i cant get passed the restore backup stage - what should i do?
Hi beckiewinter!
I have some information for you that may help you understand your iPhone's Activation Lock more thoroughly:
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
So in order to update your iPhone, you may need to turn off Find My iPhone. This can be done through the iCloud settings, and more information on those settings can be found right here:
iCloud - iPhone User Guide

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

When Location Services are turned off, does Find My iPhone still count as turned on?
Let's say I use iCloud, so I turned on Find My iPhone.
But, I like to save battery, so I turn Location Services off while Find My iPhone is enabled, and I understand completely that if Lost Mode is enabled, then Location Services are turned on and enable Find My iPhone.
Scenario:
I go traveling. I lose my phone. It gets stolen. Location Services were turned off (I like to save battery). If the thief were to try to restore the phone, would he/she get a message saying "Find My iPhone is enabled. Please turn it off before restoring this iPhone."? OR, since Location Services are off, would the restore go on ahead without any confirmation?
This scenario is assuming I don't activate Lost Mode before the thief can plug the device into his/her computer and attempt a restore.
So when Location Services with Find My iPhone enabled are turned OFF, would Find My iPhone still be considered ON and therefore, give a confirmation message before any restoration?
I just want to verify that I'm still secure even when I turn off Location Services to save battery.
Thanks for reading!

I have just ugraded IPhone 5 to I07. My passcode is not being recognised, also whir I connect to the computer the message is that the cable is incorrect. Any suggestions. I cannot restore on itunes cant turn off the find my iPhone..
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.

This the Activation Lock. Read here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
The only way is to login to iCloud with your computer browser and wipe the iPhone.
If you can't then you have a brick, Apple won't help and AL cannot be bypass.

i need help overriding this error message to turn off "find my iPhone" so I can restore>
Why can't you turn it off? If you forgot your password, re-set it at https://iforgot.apple.com
If it's activated with someone else's iCloud account, contact the owner of the account it's locked with. -

It happened on the way to the airport. I went for my pocket when we were checking in and it wasn't there. I'd turned it off to save battery for the flight and when we got home I checked the house and it wasn't there. I think it may have fallen out in the taxi but we called them and the driver driver said he couldn't find anything. It hasn't been turned on since I last turned it on. But I was wondering can Apple remotely turn my phone on in any way possible?
There is no way of communicating with a phone which is switched off, therefore there is no way to tell it to turn itself on.
