Can't turn off Find My iPhone?
A few days ago my friend gave me his old iPhone 4 and I'm attempting to restore it to factory settings but Find My iPhone is on and I can't do that, and he doesn't know the password to the iCloud account because it was a relatives iPhone to begin with. Is there any way I can restore it or set up as new without turning it off
Nope, you're completely locked out unless you get that password.
Nope. It's iCloud activation lock doing what it does. Virtually impossible to work around. Friend either gets ahold of uh, his relative, and relative gives you the code, or relative enters the code in his iCloud account and lets go of the phone, or it's basically just a paperweight. Hope it works out. Best luck.
- My iPhone just got stolen and i didn't put on Find my iphone. Is there a way i can find it without find my iphone? I have found out that i can remove my iphone from associated devices. Does doing this erase the iphone?
- IPhone needs me to turn off Find My iPhone but Wi-Fi is disabled on the phone? Basically I have this old iPhone that I want to reset in case we ever need another phone. But the Wi-Fi is disabled, so I put in an old backup of my iPhone to see if it would fix it, to no fix. So I decided that I would just reset it completely, but now it needs Find My iPhone to be turned off to do so. Well I can't turn it off because Wi-Fi doesn't work and it's not on our wireless account and doesn't have data.
- IPhone lock button broken. Can turn off but how do i turn it on? The lock button at the top of my iphone is broken, but i have been using it fine as i have turned on 'Assistive Touch' and have been using the white dot that appears on screen. However, I'm worried about turning it off, and surely the white dot will disappeaer when the phone is off, and I will have no way of turning it on? Am I correct in thinking this?
- If I restore my iPhone will it turn off Find My iPhone? I had to put in an insurance claim because I shattered my phone and they require you to turn off Find My iPhone. I can't do it in iCloud because my account isn't verified and the email to my itunes is so old I can't even get into it anymore. If I restore my phone to factory settings will it turn it off? Or how else can I turn it off?
