I had to use Find my Ipad and of course I found it and now I can't turn off the find my ipad alert screen. Everything is locked.
I had to use find my ipad app, and after finding it, I turned off icloud on my iphone but still my screen is locked on my ipad and I can't turn it of or swipe the "OK".
What's the deal?
Thanks.
Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I restored my iPhone 5 to a back up on my brothers iMac ..now I have access to the phone but can't turn off the find my phone with the owner of the account I backed my phone to .. What can I do to solve this issue??
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.

I just upgraded to OS7.0.6 and now I can't turn off the apps
I just upgraded to OS 7.0.6. Before the apps that were open showed at the bottom of the home screen and I could turn them off. Now nothing shows in that bottom band. How do I know what apps are on and how can I turn them off?
Close all apps in the multi-task window
1.Double-click the Home button.
2. Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
3. Preview will fly off the screen. -

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 forgot my ipad passcode. I tried:

Can I turn off the setting to "erase iPad" if I find my lost iPad?
I lost my iPad a few weeks ago, and since the battery was dead, I couldn't find it using "Find my iPhone." I was concerned that it could have been left somewhere in public, so I set it to erase the iPad upon connection to the internet. Now I found the iPad last night. Can I turn off the "erase iPad" setting in Find my iPhone? It doesn't seem to allow this (I assume for some security reason, but I need to use my apple id to get into
Normally I would say no, but one user reported success with the procedure outlined in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4076422?start=0&tstart=0. Can't confirm if this actually worked but it may be worth a try.

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. -
I am using earphones, but the external audio of my mini ipad is still on. How can I turn off the external audio while listening with my headset/earphones?
Other than iMovie, GB always incorporates the audio files into the GB package. So just save or move the GB project to the external drive, and you're done - anything you import, edit or record will be saved to the external drive.

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:

I sold my ipad 2 and didn't take out my apple id. how can i log off the ipad with out having it in hand?
You can't. But the buyer more than likely restored it because he/she could not use your Apple ID.

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.
Isotope JoeFind 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.

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?
