Jan 10, 2014 2:04 PM in response to Fabio984by iDavid ,Yes, DFU mode bypasses icloud request to turn off "find my iphone"
Itunes detects the iphone or any device in "recovery mode" and displays a message saying "iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode, you have to restore this device before you can use it".
The only option that itunes gives you is "restore"
And scince DFU mode prevents the iphone to boot up completly, there is no way itunes can detect that the "find my iphone" is turned on.
Thx, let me know if it helps

Jan 10, 2014 2:18 PM in response to iDavidby TJBUSMC1973,No, DFU mode does NOT do that. Activation Lock is not bypassed by DFU mode.
Activation Lock makes note of the device's Serial/IMEI number and links it to the Apple ID. That information is kept on Apple server's, not on your local computer and not by iTunes. When you try to activate an iOS device that was using FMiP and iOS 7, and the FMiP was not properly disabled, then the device will require the old Apple ID & Password to continue past Activation Lock.
You really think Apple would allow iTunes & DFU Mode to bypass Activation Lock? Then what would be the point at all? That would be like allowing Touch ID to be disabled simply by performing a reset on an iPhone 5S!
To anyone reading this thread in the future, please ignore iDavid's advice. It is completely false. You cannot bypass Activation Lock using DFU mode.

I'm glad you're correct. I'm glad that Apple has added this new security feature to deter iPhone theft. In the past, recovery or DFU mode may have worked. But now, it doesn't.

Feb 17, 2014 4:17 PM in response to jeanpierre1905by KDFriendly,★HelpfulIf you're locked out of your iPad and it's telling you that you need to disable "Find my iPhone".
And... you have access to a computer that you've synced your iPad with before.
Do these steps in the very specific order:
- Pull up itunes on your computer
- Turn off your ipad
- Plug the cord into your computer (a computer that you have synced your iPad with before)
- ... DO NOT PLUG INTO IPAD YET
- Hold down the home buttom (The iPad is off.. and not plugged in)
- Keep the home button pressed down.... Until I mention to release it
- With the home button pressed down (the circle button).... with iTunes on the computer... and with the cord plugged into the computer.... Now, plug in the cord to the iPad. (Keep the home button pressed in).
- On iTunes it will offer you the option to restore the iPad (This will wipe everything from you ipad unless it's backed up in the cloud).
- Once you've clicked "restore" for the computer to start erasing and restoring... ONLY THEN release the home button (circle button).
- Wait a bit.... It will do it's thing.
- Eventually it will restore to apple settings.
If it's your iPhone... do the same thing.

I don't really understand your situation.
This is discussing how to reset and get out of a locked screen.
Did you lose your phone? If so - I don't know if you can locate it with find my iphone. You may want to start a new conversation.
