I can't remember my passcode for my iPad and can't restore it without turning off the Find My iPad. How can I reset it?

I've tried my passcode too many times for my iPad so now it's disabled. Everything is backed up so I'd like to restore it, but wihtout turning off the Find My iPad setting, it won't let me. Is there anyway to work around this?

  • I just got an iPhone 5s, and I restored from a previous back up and now I can't restore the phone without "turning off the find my iphone setting"?

    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.

  • My iPad 1 won't hold a charge for very long and will only fully charge when turned off while plugged in. Will a full reset fix this?

    my iPad 1 won't hold a charge for very long and will only fully charge when turned off while plugged in. Will a full reset fix this?

    maybe but
    most likely no
    if you have many apps running and using data and localization at the same time yes maybe
    but batteries get worse and worse and worse over time until they die a software reset will not change that

  • My minor daughter won't give us her icloud password, she is in some real trouble and we need to restore the phone but can't without turning off the find my phone feature and it requires her password

    Please someone help.  My minor child is 16 years old and has been caught using drugs.  we found pictures  on her phone that she has been posting in adult apps and chatting with men twice her age.  We are trying to restore the phone.  She is refusing to give us her password or the answers to the security questions.  Please help us.  IS THERE ANY WAY TO FIX THIS???

    No, to restore, you need to turn off Find My iPhone and to do so you need the Apple ID & password.
    It's the Activation Lock that prevents thief wiping the iPhone for reuse.
    Take the iPhone from her and if you have the receipt (not from 3rd parties shops), call Apple Care and see if they can help.

  • I can't remember my passcode for my iphone4 and it disabled my phone. I also plugged it in to itunes and it says its locked. How do i fix this?

    I can't remember my passcode for my Iphone and it is disabled. How can I fix this? I also plug phone into itunes and it says phone is locked due to wrong passcode.

    Follow the instructions in the procedure above to the letter. Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
    Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    If you still can't get it to work, you have done all you can and only Apple will be able to help.

  • HT1349 I need to turn off the "find my phone" feature on my iPhone 5.  The company I worked for took back their iPhone and now I cannot receive texts on my new LG F6 phone.  Can I do this w/o the serial number?

    I replaced my iPhone 5 with an LG F6 phone and now I cannot receive text messages from my friends with iPhones.  Can somebody please tell me where to go to turn off the "Find your phone" feature and what ever else I need to turn off to accomplish this objective?  Thank you.

    Find My iPhone has nothing to do with receiving or not receiving text messages.
    What you should have done is turn off iMessage prior to handing over the device.

  • How can i delete my icloud account but not the password to turn off the find my phone

    how can i delete my icloud account but not the password to turn off the find my phone setting

    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going 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.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iPad and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

    You sould be able to sync both ways.  Check your default calendar on your phone by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>scroll down to the calendars section to Default Calendar.  Check to be sure you have selected your mac calendar as your default (and not, for example, On My iPhone).  Then enter a new event on your phone and sync to confirm that it appears on your mac.

    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.

  • I changed my iCloud account ID but my new phone won't let me change it. It keeps asking me for for my old ID password and won't let me delete the account unless I turn off the find my phone feature. It won't let me do this because it will not accept my ol

    I changed my ICloud account  ID but my new phone won't let me change it unless I put in my old password and turn off the find my phone feature. But the phone will not recognize my old password. Can someone help me?

    New iPhones don't come setup with an Apple ID/Password. What you're experiencing is called Activation Lock, & unless you know the original Apple ID/Password that was originally used to first activate this phone, you won't be able to reactivate it.
    You can login to iCloud.com, from any computer, use Find My Phone to locate & erase the phone. But, you'll still need to know the original Apple ID/Password to reactivate it.

    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 great

    It'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 forgot my ipad passcode.  I tried to restore ipad using the recovery mode option.  However when I try this iTunes askes me to turn off the "find my ipad" option (which of course I cannot do as I cannot open the ipad).

    I forgot my ipad passcode.  I tried:
    1. Simply to restore the ipad on the computer it is normally synced with, but it askes me to enter the passcode.
    2. to restore ipad using the recovery mode option.  However when I try this iTunes askes me to turn off the "find my ipad" cloud option (which of course I cannot do as I cannot open the ipad).
    3. to remotely erase my ipad, but as it is locked down it does not seem to be connecting to the internet and hence cannot seen through my "find my ipad".
    I am completely stuck!  Any suggestions please?!?!?

  • I can only text through ordinary message when not connected to the internet to someone, but when I am connected, it is automatically assumed as iMessage. How will I text ordinarily without turning off the net? Thank you!

    I am from the Philippines btw. What I meant is, I cannot text someone ordinarily when the net is turned on, and it assumes to be texting through iMessage. How will I text someone without turning off the internet in an ordinary way, not in iMessage? Thank you.

    I Tried that already, but if i turned it off, I cannot send an imessage to people I want to text through imessage. There are people in my contacts that when I text, it is automatically as text message, while there are some that when I text, it is through iMessage automatically, and I just want through text message also. And for the latter, I still need to turn off the wifi in my phone for them to be texted through iMessage, which is more hassle.

    Hi doph4140,
    If you are able to access/unlock your iPad currently (does not have a passcode) and you are looking to set one up, you may find the following article helpful:
