Removed device from find my iphone and now cannot restore

Hi,
I use an Iphone 4s. I forgot my passcode and in the attempt to unlock it disabled it so it says " disabled and connect to itunes" but here's the problem: prior to this I removed my device from the 'find my iphone' feature and now everytime I click restore/attempt recovery it says in itunes " remove from your iphone settings find my iphone feature"! Since my phone is disabled I obviously can't do that. Please help! I need to unlock this

No it actually didn't work!
It seemed it was rebooting it but when it lit up I still got the message as if the phone had been stolen saying to contact my boyfriend!
And then when I try to set it up it says the activation server is unavailable... so it's as if I hadn't recovered it at all!
Do you have any other suggestions I could try??

Can't access photo stream. Phone cannot be turn on. The guy at genius bar deleted my device from "find my iphone" and now it's completely gone.

Dear everyone,
My phone battery had been going worse and worse until it was completely dead two days ago. I booked the schedule at the apple store before it died and I've just been there today. The guy at the apple store asked me if I had the back up and told me to sign in to my iCloud, I did, then he clicked on "find my iphone" and deleted my device (my iphone). I didn't have a chance to do anything. The only thing I'm sure is that my photos from my phone had been automatically synchronized and I would like to have them back. I can't turn my phone on so it's impossible to connect to the internet and sign in. Please help.

It will automatically add itself back when it connects to a network.

How do I remove previous device from iCloud account? (It is removed from Find My iPhone and iCloud Backup)

I recently got a new iPhone and traded in my old one. At the store, the representatives erased the contents and settings of the old phone (though they did run into some difficulties because of a pre-installed profile and I think were successful after a few attempts) and removed the SIM card. However, the old device keeps showing up on my iCloud account. I removed it from Find My iPhone and deleted the stored backup for the phone, but it's still there. I've talked with Apple Support about it as well as called the store on what I should do. Apple cannot remove the device on my account for me (which is fair), but I think it's strange that I can't remove my own device either. It won't give me any option to.
The Apple people reassure me not to worry and that everything is probably "fine", but I don't like this uneasy feeling that my iCloud account (and who knows what other data) might have an open connection or hole somewhere that I'm not aware about.
Please help!

Some people I've talked to speculated (but could not confirm) that this "glitch" would be fixed once someone registered their own iCloud account to the old device; this would force the old device to be removed from my iCloud account and transferred to the new user. How long have you been experiencing this "glitch"? I'm guessing if Apple calls it a glitch on iCloud, it won't be fixed any time soon...

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

HT201303 It appeared that the seller didn't disconnect function to find my iPhone and now I can make nothing with phone.

I bought iphone 5c phone on Ebay, the seller in the description specified that phone is completely cleared and ready to work. It appeared that the seller didn't disconnect function to find my iPhone and now I can make nothing with phone. I have an invoice about purchase, I can provide the page of the transaction and screenshots from phone.
I appealed to the seller to remove this device from the iCloud at distance, but he at all doesn't wish me to understand and speaks only about phone return, and it categorically doesn't suit me now.

I stand by statement that the iPhone is likely stolen
Whoopsie!
Another reason: You said he doesn't understand that find my iPhone is activated. If the phone was originally his, he would have known what it was since he had to turn on find my iPhone to begin with.
Doens't mean they know what FindMyiPhone is or that they even activated it.
Many (most?) users simply click thru without reading anything and don't have a clue what they are clicking on.

Stolen ipad, i am occasionally remove it from Find my iphone

Stolen ipad, i am occasionally remove it from Find my iphone on apple site, any variants to redo it?

If you remove it from your iCloud account in a web browser, the only way to add it back is with the device in your hands to re-enable find my ipad in your iCloud account settings on the iPad.

Use it as a paperweight unlesss you can get hold of him. Doesn't sound like much of a "friend" to me.

There's no way to "restore" your phone, but, you can login to iCloud.com, using your computer, locate your phone, then erase it.

Just downloaded iOS 7.0 on iPhone and now cannot send email -sender address rejected by server???

JusJust downloaded iOS 7.0 on iPhone and now cannot send email -sender address rejected by server???

What happens when you go to the web based mail for your email account?
Are you able to login and send / receive messages from the web?
If so, you might need to check outgoing email settings on your iPhone
Settings > Mail, Contacts Calendars
Tap on the account you are having an issue with
Tap on the email address beside the word Account
Tap on info beside SMTP (SMTP = outgoing mail server)
Tap on the SMTP server name again.
Make sure server is turned on
Check settings & port info, password, etc.
Good luck!

HT4623 REMOVE PASSWORD FROM FIND MY IPHONE ON MY PHONE

HOW DO I REMOVE MY PASSWORD FROM FIND MY IPHONE APP?

If the device is still lost, then you can't change/remove a pasword remotely. Otherwise please describe your issue in more detail. Note that the Find My iPhone App is not the same thing as the Find My iPhone service - which do you mean?
