    when I turn off iCloud, so that I restore my iPhone5, I get a message " Verification Failed - Request Timed Out"

    Either use different icloud IDs (accounts) on each device, or on the iPad, turn off iMessage (Settings>Messages).  Or use a different Send & Receive address (same settings page).

  • Turn off Find my iPhone for previous owner?

    I purchased my iPhone on eBay from someone selling theirs a week ago.  Today I received a message from them, asking that I turn off "Find my iPhone" for an hour so he can switch his iTunes account.  Has anyone heard of this before?
    I suggested that he log into his iTunes account to remove it from his account, but his reply was that Apple support told him to do this.
    Is there any possible harm that can come from me turning this setting off for an hour?

    DON'T DO IT. Assuming that the phone is not still locked to his account, there is no possible reason that you would have to log out of your Apple ID for him to do anything for his.

  • How can I turn off "find my ipad" to restore to factory settings if screen is not working?

    How can I turn off "Find My iPad" to restore to factory settings if screen is not working?  I can't get access to the apps on my mini pad.  I can see the device when I'm in iTunes.

    Try resetting the iPad by holding the home and power keys down until the Apple logo appears.

  • When we purchased our mac two years ago, we set up the iCloud account.  this past winter I created a new iCloud account thinking I was changing it.  I now cannot access anything on the old iCloud acct and my computer hasn't been backed up either in awhile

    when we purchased our mac two years ago, we set up the iCloud account.  this past winter I created a new iCloud account thinking I was changing it.  I now cannot access anything on the old iCloud acct and my computer hasn't been backed up either in awhile.  How do i go back to that old account and delete it so that I can continue backing up on the newest account?  I changed it because the original one I created an iCloud account with is a yahoo account email address and I am deleting my yahoo account for being compromised too may times. 

    Well, you can go to Manage your Apple ID and change the password if you can answer the Security Questions:
    Apple - My Apple ID
    If you cannot remember the Security Questions you can contact iTunes Support to reset them for you:
    New iTunes Support - US and ww
    Once you get your password reset and you can access your account info on Manage your Apple ID, you can change your ID. You won't be able to use the same email address that you are using for the new ID unless you change that one to something else. But, if you can get back into your old ID and change it to a new email address, then you can go on using that old ID, and just manually move the iCloud stuff you added to your new ID back onto the old one. Most of the stuff (like Contacts, Calendar, Notes) can be added by logging onto https://www.icloud.com on your Mac and doing it that way (it is a lot simpler when you have an actual keyboard in my opinion)
    Hope this helps you to sort out the two ID business. If you have any questions, please post back!
    Cheers,

  • HT1349 when I start my macbook it shows STARTUP DISK FULL, and I cannot do anything else, it doesnt let me get into the computer to delete any programs,,,, What should I do ?

    when I start my macbook it shows STARTUP DISK FULL, and I cannot do anything else, it doesnt let me get into the computer to delete any programs,,,, What should I do ?

    Try starting in Safe mode which does not load all the software that is used in a regular boot. It also runs a disk check. After booting in safe mode transfer or trash stuff you don't really need so as to free up disk space. Be sure to hold the shift key down continously till a progress bar shows on the screen.

  • 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.

  • When I turned off Find my iPhone, Apple sent me an email saying: I got an email from Apple saying: your Apple ID and password will no longer be required for someone to erase, reactivate, and use your iPhone. I don't understand!

    I just turned off Find my iPhone after hearing about the hacking in Australia.  I got an email from Apple saying:  your Apple ID and password will no longer be required for someone to erase, reactivate, and use your iPhone.  Does this mean that anyone can have access to my iPhone?  I still have to put my passcode in.

    What that means is the activation lock does not operate if you did what you said you did. Bottom line, turn it back on. That will then require anyone trying to use the device to have yoru Apple ID and password.

  • Forgot to turn off FIND MY IPHONE before restoring to another iphone

    I restored all my data to my husband's iphone 5S after he got a new iPhone 6 but I forgot to turn off FIND MY IPHONE in my old device. Now I can't do it in the old device because the apple ID and other setting are associated with the new device.  The old device still contains info that I can't get at because of this.  HELP!

    remove it from your account by signing in to icloud.com/find, selecting the device, and clicking Erase. When the device has been erased, click Remove from Account. After you erase the device, you'll need to wait 24 hours before you can activate iMessage on your new device.

  • HT1414 Asks to turn off find my device before restore but forgot passcode

    I am trying to restore my ipad because I forgot the passcode. But When I connect it asks me to turn off "Find my ipad" in settings on my ipad before I can restore. How I can I get around it and restore my ipad?

    Without the passcode, you can't restore it.

  • My ipod touch screen froze and the screen has gone white and i cannot do anything. Is it broken? can it be fixed?

    My ipod froze during facebook and now the screen han gone white and i cannot do anything.

    - Try:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the article again.
    - If still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How to turn off "Find my iPhone" for broken phone before passing it to repair services?

    My wife's iPhone 5 is broken (water damage) and would not even switch on.  We have an insurance, so it is going to be repaired.  However, the repair agency advised us that we have to turn off the "Find my iPhone" function for this phone before we pass it to them for repair.
    The problem is that the phone does not turn on at all, so there is no way to turn the feature off directly from the phone.  It was possible to remove it from iCloud, but from what I understand it still does not switch "Find my iPhone" off.
    Repair agency told us that we have to delete the Apple ID profile completely in order to make the phone repair-able.  Is that correct?  Is there no other way?  I am afraid that if we delete the Apple ID profile, then all the purchased apps will not be accessible any more.  Also this ID is in use by other devices (Mac Mini, iPad) so that's not exactly the ideal situation.
    Please advise.
    Thank you.

    I do suspect that they will not be really repairing.  However, I was told what I was told, and I just would not like to end up in situation when an iPhone gets comletely locked if they manage to fix it somehow but then it would lock-out because I did not remove it from "Find my iPhone".
    I could remove the phone from the account already (as the page you refer to suggests).  Will that be sufficient?  Erasing it is not possible because it is switched off.
