Cannot Turn Off Find My iPhone There was a problem deregistering this iPhone with iCloud. Try turning Find My iPhone off again

I have the same issue. Trying to erase all content and settings, but need to turn off Find My iPhone first. I get the same message. I am able to log into icloud and could use Find My iPhone to erase iphone. Would that give me the same results?

Hello,

If you make a backup before restoring, while the account is still logged into iCLoud, it will be saved into the backup and when you restore the backup to the phone the account will be back in iCLoud and you could be stuck witht he issue again.

What I'd like to confirm is when you did this, restored your back to the phone after restoring it, were you able to sign out without an issue?

I am having the exact same problem with my iPhone 5. I wish I would have never updated to the new 7. Please someone help us! there has to be a trick to this all!

I'm having the same problem and the recovery thing didn't work out

please help

the RECOVERY mode Restore worked for me 2. But it's a very long process...

I did the recovery mode process, too, but it didn;t work for me, either. I am still getting the same message when I try to delete iCloud (or turn off Find My iPhone so I can delete it)... PLEASE HELP - this is so frustrating!!!!!

I found these recovery mode steps:

How to perform a recovery-mode restore

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is already showing the "Connect to iTunes" screen, please go to step 5.

1. Connect your USB cable to your computer but not to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until step 3.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.

   If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.

3. While pressing and holding the Home button down, connect the USB cable to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen. When this screen appears, you can release the Home button:

so far its working will see. Im so over these iphone bugs.

Took me four hours, looked at many forums. And this worked. Be sure to back up your phone prior to restoring.

I have the same problem, tried recovery but didn't work. Apple tech support is suppose to get back to me tomorrow. I might try recovery again tonight. So frustrating. I need to restore to fix the iMessage and FaceTime problem of waiting to activate. Also now I need to restore to complete the AT&T approved unlock. This issue is preventing me from unlocking the phone. Apple needs to fix this soon somehow. These IOS7 issues are ridiculous, so frustrating and upsetting...

Backup to computer first and sync Apps to iTunes first!

Restore in recovery mode will work, be persistent and retry

Recovery restore challenges

- computer didn't detect recovery iphone, attempted and failed 3 times
rebooted computer then recovery restore worked

- recovery restore was successful, unlocked, and iMessage/Facetime, Find My Iphone, ALL WORKS!

Restore from backup challenges

* Make sure you have plenty of harddrive space!

- have to restore first then restore from backup, i did this incorrectly by restoring from backup and the find my iphone feature got stuck forcing me to recovery restore

- each restore from backup attempt will copy the original backup and create another backup folder. My original was about 10gb, so it copied another 10gb onto my computer's harddrive

- when i restore from backup, my computer ran out of space and errored out/failed.

- I tried again to restore from backup then figured out where the backup data folder was and tried to transfer to external harddrive but not quick enough and failed again.

- finally cleared the extra backup data files and restore from backup was successfull

Missing apps from restore from backup

- Downloaded all my missing Apps from APP store

- I have 300+ apps and there are only 15 screen scrolls, have to organize before apps will populate and load, very difficult to organize now. Wished I had sync Apps first.

Conclusion

This process took me literally 20+ hours to correct and will probably take me few more hours to organize the apps into their respective folders...

At least I got everything to work. Hope this helps!

I did Lizio2's process and it worked! You need to make sure you hold down the Home button while it's off then connect it to the USB that is attached to your computer. After completing the restore to factory settings you can then restore your backed up profile. I used a backup copy I did last week and the process only took me half an hour to restore it (not 4 hours). Mine is an iPad mini.

Hi,

Had excactly same problem,

What helped me was to remove the Lock code for the telephone. After the code was removed I was able to set Find my Iphone to off.

Hope it helps someone.

Maybe that could help you too, best luck.
