Turn off "find my ipod" when you are locked out.

How do I turn off "find my ipod" when I am locked out of my ipod and I want to reset and then backup?

There is no way to backup the iPod
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

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.

  • Cannot turn off find my ipod

    My passcode was changed and now forgotten. I did connect the Ipod to the computer I have synced to and connected to itunes, however; itunes says to turn off find my ipod. I went to icloud and erased this ipod so there is no device it recognizes. Itunes still tells me to turn off find my ipod and I can't since I cannot get into the ipod or its not recognized by icloud. What do I do now?

    Hello, radcami16.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that your iPod is disabled and you are unable to turn off find my device.  I would recommend going through the steps in the article below.  
    Recovery mode
    If you've never synced your device with iTunes, or haven't set up Find My iPhone, you'll need to put your device in recovery mode. Then you'll restore your device as new or from a backup.
    Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled
    Cheers,

  • IOS 8 lockscreen keyboard does not let me input characters with accent marks. My password has an accent mark. I can't restore the device without unlocking it and turning off find my iPod. What can I even do here?

    I do have a third party keyboard installed (fleksy), and I removed english and emoji from the keyboards list in settings before rebooting the ipod. When it booted up, it asked for my device password with the default keyboard, but I can't type any letters with accent marks, so I can't enter the password. I figured I could fix this by restoring a backup and changing my password, but I can't restore a backup without turning off Find My iPod - which of course requires me to unlock the device with the device password, which I can't do. Am I stuck here? Is there anything at all that I can do?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • Is there any way to turn off "Find my iPod" without unlocking the iPod?

    My cousin forgot her password to her iPod and she tried to restore the iPod but it said that it couldn't be restored because "Find my iPod" was on. Is there any way that you can turn off "Find my iPod" without unlocking her iPod.

    You can access iCloud.com on a computer to turn it off.

  • How to change your Administration Server password when you're locked out

    How to change your Administration Server password when you're locked out
    The Netscape server products are all managed by a single administration
    server, which gives you a web forms-based interface you can use to
    configure them, start/stop them, check their logs, and so forth.
    <P>
    There are three levels of protection that keep the general public from
    being able to get into your administration server and mess up the
    configuration of any Netscape servers you have installed:
    <P>
    <OL>
    <LI> <B>Obscurity:</B> Your administration server can run on any port you'd
    like (usually something between 81 and 30,000), so if an attacker
    doesn't know what port to find your admin server on, he can't get
    into it.<P>
    <LI> <B>Host restrictions:</B> You can tell your admin server to only allow
    connections from specific hosts, and to reject all other hosts.
    <P>
    <LI> <B>Password protection:</B> Even if a user connects to your admin server
    from a valid host, he won't be allowed to get into even the first
    page unless he presents a valid username and password.
    </OL>
    <P>
    If you, the legitimate administrator of your web server, are unable to
    access the administration server (if you forgot your password or the
    admin port number or if you accidentally locked your own site out),
    then here is how to get past each of these levels of protection:
    <P>
    <OL>
    <LI> If you don't remember what port your administration server is
    running on, just look in your "ns-admin.conf" file, which is in
    the "admserv" directory under your Netscape server directory.
    (For 1.x web servers on Windows NT, run "regedt32" and go to the
    "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Netscape\Administration" section).
    You will see a "Port" entry there that specifies what port your
    admin server is on. You can change this value if you want your
    admin server to run on a different port, but make sure you restart
    the admin server after you change the value.
    <P>
    <LI> If your admin server is complaining "Unauthorized host" when you
    try to connect to it, then you can open it up to all sites by
    going into the "ns-admin.conf" file or the "Administration"
    section of your NT registry, as described above, and deleting the
    lines for "Hosts" and "Addresses" (either one of those might not
    be present) then restarting your admin server (on Unix run
    "stop-admin" then "start-admin"; on NT go into the Services
    control panel and stop/start the "Netscape Administration" or
    "Netscape Admin Server" service). You will then be able to get
    back into the admin server, where you can then try new settings
    for your host and address restrictions if you wish.
    <P>
    <LI> If you have forgotten the password to your admin server and now
    you can't log into your admin pages, all is not lost! Go into
    your "ns-home" directory, and into the "admserv" directory under
    that. You should find an "admpw" text file containing a simgle
    line of text, something like this:
    admin:lnOVeixulqkmU
    The first part of that line is the name of your admin account
    (usually just "admin"), and the second part is your admin
    password, encrypted. Edit this file to remove the encrypted
    password so that your file looks like this:
    admin:
    Then shut down your admin server, bring it back up again, and log
    into your admin server but don't give any password. It should let
    you in, at which point you can then go to the appropriate
    configuration page to set a new admin password, and then you're
    back in business.
    </OL><P>
    Note that because it is so easy to change the admin password this
    way, it's good to periodically make certain that your admin
    password file and your web server's configuration files are not
    left world-writable, and that only trusted people have access to
    them. (By default they're not world-writable, but it's good to
    make sure of this from time to time.)

    If you mean that yu forgo the password for yur encrypted backup then you can only:
    Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
    If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

  • How to turn off "find my iphone" when all the buttons are disable about on/off in my icloud account?

    MY APPLE ID AND ICLOUD ACCOUNT HAVE BEEN HACKED COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. ALL THE CONTENTS OF MY IPHONE HAS REMOVED. SO I HAVE RESTORED MY IPHONE BY USING MY OLD BACKUP. AND MY OLD ICLOUD ACCOUNT HAS RESTORED TO MY IPHONE AGAIN BUT THERE WAS NO ICLOUD ACCOUNT WITH MY EMAIL BECAUSE IT'S BEEN HACKED AND MY APPLE ID HAS BEEN SWITCHED TO HACKER'S EMAIL. SO I WAS NOT ABLE TO DELETE ICLOUD ACCOUNT, TO TURN OFF FIND MY IPHONE OR TO ERASE MY IPHONE. SO I M NOT STILL ABLE. I MEAN ALL THE BUTTONS IN MY ICLOUD ACCOUNT ARE DISABLE TO TAP. I WANNA ERASE MY IPHONE OR ERASE THE ICLOUD ACCOUNT.
    PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
    WAITING FOR YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS...

    According to Apple support, you cannot remove the phone on the device list under "find my iphone" until you turn it off and it goes offline.  (It also says the device will go back on "find my iphone" when it goes online again, which seems to mean you can successfully remove it, but as soon as you turn it back on it will be back on the list, and thus you will not be able to restore it.)  It's a bit of a conundrum.  In my case I couldn't for some reason turn off my phone  with the home/sleep buttons - nothing happens, the phone stays on.  While on a chat with Apple support, they got my iphone offline (I was able to turn it off by pressing the sleep button and swiping where the red "turn off iphone" arrow would have appeared) and removed it from "find my phone", but when I reconnected to itunes it turned on and reappeared in the "find my phone" list.  Luckily, the screen suddenly appeared (it had done this several times yesterday, just briefly), so I was able to turn off "find my device" from the phone.  I was then able to restore.  Unfortunately, this does not answer the question of how to remove the device from "find my iphone" and keep it off while connecting with itunes to restore (unless you have my good fortune of having the screen suddently reappear).  Apple support seemed puzzled that it had reappeared on the device list under "find my iphone".  Time will tell whether the restoration fixes the blank screen issue.

  • How do I turn off Find My iPhone when the Apple ID (email) is no longer available and I don't know the password?

    The email which was used for my iCloud and Applie ID is no longer available to me and the password is not being recognised.  I need to update my iphone to the new iCloud account and I am unable to delete the old as it keeps asking for the pasword for the old id / email to turn off Find my iPhone

    Well if he /forgot/ his apple id then what he should do is to look up all of his email addresses to try to get the crendential's back...if he can't remember that then your brother gave you a beauitful paperweight, I hope you didn't pay for it
