"Turn Passcode Off" is grayed out.

After upgrading to iOS 7 on my Ipad 3 the "Turn Passcode Off" button is grayed out. I did have an Exchange account on it, but I have since removed it. I also have an iPhone 5 on iOS 7 and I can turn off and on the passcode at will even with an Exchange account. I have reapplied the update and restored same thing. Then I completly reset it and I could turn it off and on. But as soon as I restored the passcode lock came back. Also as not "Erase Data" is also grayed out.

Reset all Settings will work. I canceled it though before it started.
Also if it matters I can change my passcode, just not turn it off.

Turning Passcode off

How can I turn off my passcode? I have gone through Settings>General>Passcode Lock and entered my passcode, but when I get to Turn Passcode Off, it is greyed out and I cannot click on it to turn the passcode off. What can I do about this?

If you have an Exchange account set up on the phone, the administrators can enforce a policy requiring a passcode lock. If that's the case, you can not remove the passcode without deleting the Exchange account from the phone.

hope you didn't have GREEK keyboard selected
If you did APple do not want to know that their upgrade has trashed your ipad

to see other sufferers - if you had a greek keyboard then you need to set it to english/french etc
to do that you need to unlock your ipad
to unlock your ipad you need to re-set your keyboard
to do that you need a greek keboard
to get your greek keyboard back you need to unlock your ipad
and so on and son

HT4113 cannot turn passcode off

I downloaded an app that required I choose a passcode. Now I want to turn this feature off on my IPhone but it will not allow me to. It says turn passcode off but it's not highlighted and when I press it nothing happens...

As far as I know there are no apps that require a passcode. There is on some exchange servers that require you to have a passcode on your phone to use the exchange server. Also having a passcode on your phone is a good idea as if you lose it your personal data is safe from prying eyes. Not sure why anyone would want to leave their phone that unsecure in the first place.

Disable the password protection - Turn passcode off in ios 6.1

Hi,
Yesterday, I've upgraded my iphone 5 to ios 6.1
Since then the phone asked me to enter a new password and from that point on, I can't disable this option and every time my phone gets locked and I open it I need to enter my password.
How do I disable it ??
from the settings options I can't this option to Turn the passcode off is in gray (Disable).
Does anyone know what to do ?
Thanks,

Do you have an exchange account from your school or employer set up? If so, they have overridden the default settings to enforce passcode use. They do this simply by pushing out a security certificate via their exchange server. The only way to get rid of those restrictions will be to remove the exchange account and no longer use it.

Can't turn Passcode off!

I know my passcode, but I'm tired of entering it. But in the menu where I should be able to turn it off, the button is greyed out. WHY??

If you delete the exchange email, you should then be able to turn off the passcode lock. That's assuming you don't want email. If this is a work phone, then of course your company decides what you can do. You should be able to up the time between when the code needs to be entered to an hour, that will keep the nagging down to just a few times a day.

You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPhone forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

Turn Passcode Off Option Doesn't Show

I would sometimes like to be able to disable the passcode feature on my iTouch. My son has an iTouch and by looking at his and by reading online I should be able to go to Settings -> General -> Passcode Lock and see an option to turn it off. I see no such option. The first option on that panel is Change Passcode.
There is an option like that on my son's iTouch. What's the deal?

I have the same as your son's. All I can suggest is the standard restart and/or reset solutions. They can't hurt and they may help.
"If something is not working right, restarting or resetting iPod touch will likely solve the problem.
Restart iPod touch: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPod touch. To turn iPod touch back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears."

Bluetooth off, menu grayed out

I've been having that issue of my Bluetooth turning off and not available to turn back on. I'd have to restart to get it going again. Well, I don't know if anyone has mentioned this before, as I've not seen any answers anywhere.
I'm running Mac OS X 10.4 and I have the Developer Tools installed. Located in the Developer folder under Applications/Utilities/Bluetooth is a utility called Bluetooth Explorer. In its Utilities menu, select HCI Controller Selecor, select your "controller" — There was only one selection, so I assume this was the built-in Bluetooth module and click "Make Active."
Your Bluetooth menu will show Bluetooth unavailable, then available once again. I'm guessing this is like a reboot of the module, or at least an initialization of it.
I guess I'm kinda wondering why this can't be done automatically. Why does this happen at all?

Brilliant!
This gets wedged pretty often for me and I've never had any solution
other than to reboot the computer (which I don't do for weeks at a
time, which means that Bluetooth has been available on my laptop
for much of its life.)
Thanks.

A Bug. I wish I knew the exact sequence of operations I do to cause
the Bluetooth daemon to crash, because I'd really like to file a bug

My ipod, while it is charging, will have the apple screen with a loading sign that never moves and there is no way to turn it off, or take out the battery.... help me.

Help me, my ipod is freaking out! It has the apple screen with a white loading sign that never moves. After about 19-20 seconds it flicks to my lock screen but i can't do anything with my lock screen and then it flickers back to the apple sign... WHATS GOING ON?!?!?!?!

Try here.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
If necessary,let the battery fully drain and then charge and try again.

I'm struggling to turn the passcode off

This should be simple but it isnt. Every time i try to turn off the passcode i enter a loop which leads to a request to change the passcode , not to turn it off. The 'turn passcode off' button remains greyed out. How do i overcome this.

Do you have an Exchange email account on your iPad ? If you do then the account administrator may be forcing the use of a passcode.

I can't log out of my guest account because DLconnectMonitor won't turn off. How do I turn it off?

I am planning on lending one of my Mac products to a friend so she can watch our Easter service on FaceTime. In preparation for this, I logged into the guest account and found the administrator had to give permission for the guest to use FaceTime and DLconnectMonitor. It looked like this had to be done for the guest account to work at all, so I gave permission. When I went to log out of the guest account, I couldn't becauseDLconnectMonitor would not turn off. I can't even find it on my computer. Does anybody know how I can turn it off and log out of my guest account?

Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
You may have to log out or reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.
