Need to turn off iCloud to reset passcode

Please help. my son put a passcode afte the last update and it includes I can't reset passcode due to that I have to turn off find my phone on my ipad. I have read lots of stuff but its not working.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
iOS 7 included a feature that makes you turn off Find my iPad with your Apple ID password. Open Settings > iCloud, and turn off Find my iPad. Then, type your Apple ID password (or your son's Apple ID password). If you don't remember it, change this password > http://iforgot.apple.com
Then, go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings, and set up the iPad again. This should be done only if you don't know the passcode

HT5661 If I reset and erase contents from my old iphone as suggested, will it effect my new iphone that I have already transferred my data to? Do I need to turn off Icloud on old phone before erasing data ?

If I reset and erase contents from my old iphone will it effect the data I have already transferred to my ne iphone?

Hello ski12
Restoring or erasing all content and settings will just turn the feature of iCloud off and not deleting from iCloud. If you want to, turn off iCloud before you go through with erasing it.

Black screen: need to restore: turn off iCloud

My screen on my ipad mini went black. (I tried the knee thing, and no luck for me...) I am now trying to restore it and I need to turn off iCloud. How can I do this with a black screen?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.
Frozen or unresponsive iPad

My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can i fix this without turning off iCloud?

My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can I fix this without turning off iCloud?
I am at a new office that uses Outlook (not Outlook Exchange) which does not sync with my mobile... I just got iCloud set up on my PC to sync my contacts, calendar, reminders, etc... The sync worked (not without flaws, but the other issues seem solvable... I think), so that i can now see all my appointments on both my phone and on my PC. The problem I am having is that iCloud moved all of my calendar items from Outlook into iCloud calendar and now when I send out meeting/calendar invites the recipients may accept them, but the meeting does not get added to their calendar. This is a huge problem and may mean that i need to turn off iCloud.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!

I am replying to my own post here as I seem to have fixed the problem.
I do have some calendars that are shared. Some of those are shared with users who have time zone support turned on. So i activated time zone support on my iphone, then deleted my icloud subscription. I then signed in to icloud again and voila... problem solved.
It is a weird one as the other calendar views were always fine and when you opened an event that appeared in the wrong day (on list view), the correct date of the event was shown in the information...
one more bug in a complicated system I guess

How do I set/reset my passcode? I am locked out. I can't restore because I get a prompt that I need to turn off "Find my phone". I'm in an endless circle of frustration.

How do I set/reset my passcode on my iPhone 6 Plus?
I am locked out and don't have a passcode (at least I don't recall setting one)

Any help on this matter is appreciated.

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.

I have changed my Apple ID name and I want to change it on iCloud, however I am not able to delete the previous account because I need to turn off the Find my iPhone - and for that I need to log in with the old name and that is not working. Help anyone?

Need to turn off the iCloud services

I no longer have the iPhone 4s. Now I cannot receive text messages from other iPhone users on my new cell phone. I need to turn off iMessage.

If you registed it with a support profile, try going to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistering it. Also, you can try changing the password associated with the Apple ID you were using for iMessage.

HT5834 can't turn off iCloud keychain on apple devices and can't get them to sync !

i could gey my apple devices to sync icloud keychains , nor could i get them to turn off icloud key chain.
Solution: Reset icloud keycahin using forgot passcode option, it will reset the entire icloud keycahin and bring every thing back to the way it is supposed to be. approve all the devices using the one used to reset, and you are all good to go !!

You're my best friend. Seriously. I've read virtually every thread I could find on this issue, and this is the only thing that worked. Has been driving me bonkers since getting the iPhone 6 in September. THANK YOU!!
