Hello KerryMurphy,
It sounds like you put your phone into lost mode and want to turn it off now.
According to this article:
iCloud: Lost Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2700
To change the message or phone number shown on the lost device, or to turn off Lost Mode, click Lost Mode, then make your changes.
So all you should have to do is go back to www.icloud.com/#find and click Lost Mode again and follow the directions.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

  • I need to turn off 'find my iPhone' so that I am able to restore my phone but my screen is not working. I logged into my iCloud but was not able to turn it from here. How do I do this?!

    My iPhone 4 screen stopped working. The phone is still on but the screen is not working at all, it is juts black. I was told restoring my phone might solve this problem so i plugged it into iTunes. When I click on the restore iPhone button a message popped up saying I needed to turn off 'find my iPhone' in phone settings for the restore to be go ahead. Problem is I cant access my phone!
    I went onto my cloud account to see if i could do it from here but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Any ideas?

    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.

  • How can I turn off find my iPhone to restore when it won't let me into my phone settings.

    I went to use my phone last night and suddenly it says activation is required (which I'm not sure I understand alone) but I began to go through the steps and it says it can not activate because the beta has expired and I need to do a system restore. So I proceeded to do the system restore by plugging into iTunes and it tells me it  cannot do a restore unless I turn off find my iPhone but my phone will not allow me to look at any settings other than my wifi settings in its current state. How can I turn this off to proceed and what is going on with my phone in general?

    Force it into recovery mode to restore it as explained here: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.  Sometimes you have to do this more than once to be successful.  After restoring, you'll have to restore an existing backup, if you have one.

  • Selling phone didn't turn off find my iPhone

    HI. Got a 6 and selling my 4S, so I reset it to factory and pitched the SIM card two days ago.
    IT's already updated to iOS 8.0.2.
    ignorant! Forgot to turn off Find my iPhone before reset. And I'm supposed to ship it across America tomorrow! The buyer would have a brick if he wouldn't have my iTunes password. Sure don't want to give that to a stranger!
    So, i went into iCloud.com and removed the phone from that account.
    Then I turned it on, went through the preliminary set up process, reconnected to wifi, but got an error message that i must insert a valid SIM to proceed. Staff at my local AT&T store said I don't need a sim; I just needed to get on wifi to get back into find the iPhone, turn it off, and good to go.
    What to do now? Only way out is buy a new SIM?
    Thanks for help!

    Thank you. I probably should have hit the Correct Answer button, but I haven't actually tested the solution by ensuring that the phone can be safey activated by the new user.
    For sure he must get his own SIM. I was just concerned that Apple's newest theft safeguards have added a new layer of tethering between icloud and a phone's hardware identity, such that, even though it's been erased successfully, it's still tethered to the old account and prevented from being activated with a new account unless find my iphone was formally turned off prior to erasure.
    Over worried. The 'tethering' just prevents the erasure in the first place. I entered the password back then already, so the phone should be good to go for the new buyer.
    Thanks again. This forum and you experienced people are a god-send.

  • TS4006 How do I turn off Find My Iphone from my PC

    I downloaded the new IOS& software into my Iphone 5 and I was trying to set the switch controls to make it easier to retrieve Apple Radio. Anyhow, I have locked myself out of my phone because the switch controls will not allow any button to work on the Iphone screen. I want to reset Iphone to an earlier time but I cannot because I can't turn off Find My Iphone from my Iphone settings. Is their anyway to do this from my computer so I can reset my iphone?

    My problems is that the Settings App keeps crashing, so I cannot go into Settings to turn off Find My Phone.
    I need to Restore my phone to,hopefully, get Settings to work again.  But I can't do a Restore until I turn off Find My Phone, which I can't do because Settings keeps crashing. 
    Talk about a vicious circle.  
    I went into iCloud/Find My Phone on my laptop and removed my phone.  I then went to iTunes to try a Restore but it STILL says I have to turn off Find My Phone.  I have done that three times now.
    Should I also take the step "Erase My Phone?"  I have a great  fear of doing that because what happens if I erase the phone and it STILL won't restore?  Then I'll be totally screwed.
    This all started because I updated to 7.1 yesterday. 
    Thanks, Apple!

  • How can i turn off find my iphone if i dont have the phone and its turned off

    i lost my phone, so activated find my iphone and also put the lock on it. the battery died so the fone is now off. i ended up buying a new phone and im trying to restore the latest computer back up onto the new fone but it is saying that i need to turn off find my iphone. i went to icloud and removed the lost device but because it is turned off its not working . is there any way around this or at least getting my photos and contacts onto my new fone. and i dont have anything saved on icloud

    after ive connected the phone to itunes and i click on restore backup a box pops u and says
    Find my iphone must be turned off before 'My Iphone' can be restored.
    Go to icloud settings on you iphone and turn off Find my Iphone before restoring your iphone.
    the first time this came up i went into icloud on my computer and removed the old phone from there but from what ive read it will only be properly removed when the fone gets turned back on.

    If you know the password to your apple id login - you can then do a restoration once you have put your device into recovery mode using itunes.

    Once you have put in your apple id login and password this then will allow you to restore the device once the device is placed in recovery mode.
    good luck!

  • How to turn off find my iphone without knowing icloud password

    I just bought an Iphone 6+.
    Backed up data and settings from old Iphone 5 onto Itunes and used Restore on new Iphone 6+ but contacts from old phone did not appear on new phone.
    Tried backing up data from old Iphone 5 again onto Itunes.  However, when I tried to Restore again on Iphone 6+, I got a message saying I need to turn off Find my Iphone.  Unfortunately, Iphone requires Icloud password in order to turn off Find my Iphone feature and I am locked out of Icloud due to too many failed attempts.  I also cannot use the Icloud account associated with the old Iphone 5 as I cannot remember the answers to the security questions and I do not think I entered an alternate email address.
    Anyway, short of wiping my new Iphone 6+, is there any way of turning off the Find My Iphone feature without keying in a icloud password?
    On another note, I tried erasing all data and settings but could not because I had to key in a Restrictions passcode and I do not even know how a Restrictions passcode even got into my new Iphone 6+!.  1 way I am trying now is to key in my normal passcode wrongly more than 10x so that whole phone will be wiped but I am now at the stage where I have to wait 1 hr before entering another wrong passcode.
    If anyone knows how to contact Apple so that I can ask them to reactivate my icloud account so that I can try some more passwords, that would be helpful.

  • I updated to ios7 and got the set up asst and selected restore from back up.... can't get itunes to do the restore as it wants me to turn off find my iphone, but I can't access anything on my iphone to turn off as I am in ios set up assistant

    I updated my iphone 4 to ios7.04 in itunes.  In itunes, it appears that all my data/apps/music/etc are on the phone  (but I cannot see anything on phone itself except setup screens).  I am getting the ios7 setup screen on my iphone.  I have selected my language, selected my wifi netowork, enabled location services, and chosen resore from itunes back up.  Next screen I get says to connec to itunes, which I did.  In itunes, I select restore from backup.  I then get a message that I need to disable "find my iphone " "Go to iCloud Settings on your iPhone and turn off Find My iPhone before restoring your iPhone."  I cannot go to any settings on my iphone as I cannot get past the connect to iturnes screen!  I have also tried  not enabling location services and that made no difference.  I cannot get to anyplace on my iphone except the ios setup first few screens.  I am going crazy, there must be some simple thing I have missed!  Any help appreciated!

    I found a way to get to my data.  So do not need remedy at this time. 
    fwiw, I changed my ios7.04 setup answer of restore from itunes to new iphone. Eventually that allowed me to set up icloud, then turn off find iphone, restore.  Very strange ios update.
