FYI: not a wise idea to post your email address in a public forum. The hosts

You have run into Activation Lock. Without the requested AppleID and password,
you will not be able to activate the iPhone. Return it for a refund if you can.
There is no workaround for Activation Lock. You can learn more here:

    You have to delete the old account, provide the password for the ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos that are not in your camera roll, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account (open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).

    hie guys..how can i activate my iphone without the original sim card coz it says SIM not valid if i insert it.....im in south africa thanks for your help

    Sorry, you can't. If your phone is carrier locked, you will need a sim card from that carrier, to activate it.

    If using a phone locked to a carrier, you must have the original SIM or one from that carrier to activate your iPhone.

  • I don't have the previous owner apple account how can I activate my iPhone without the previous owner?

    What can I do to active my new iPhone 5s if I don't have the previous owner apple ID because I don't know him.

    So the trick here is at what point are you getting stuck? You'll know whether or not you can use the device after you've restored it in iTunes. If the previous owner had not removed their iCloud account (or turned off Find My iPhone) before you do this, then the phone is forced into Activation Lock (which you'll likely see after restoring the device, upon setting it up). If this is the case, you either HAVE to contact the previous owner and have them help you type in their password or remove the phone from their iCloud account by logging into iCloud.com, or if you can provide valid proof of purchase you may be able to get support through AppleCare or an Apple Store. Otherwise, see if you can return it! Good luck!

  • How can I activate my iphone although the previous apple id is mine?

    I bought an iphone 5 on amazon and used it for nearly 2 month. But it isnt fit with my company, so I sold it to my friend. He restored it and it needed my apple id to activated. But when I typed in, it said my apple id couldnt used to activated this phone, although I was the one who set up it first.

    I am having a similar problem.  I am beginning to wonder if there is something wrong with apple authentication right now.

  • How can I activate my iphone4 without the owners ID it was just given to me by a friend and we can't contact the owner of this....

    how can I activate my iphone4 without the owner's ID it was just given to me by a friend AND WE CAN'T CONTACT THE OWNER ANYMORE

    There is no other way. Without the correct credentials you won't be able to use it.
    Activation Lock cannot be bypassed, Apple will not help unless you have the original receipt (but not from some 3rd party)

  • HT5622 We have two iphones with the same Apple ID. Since I installed iOS this morning I have started receiving all my sons texts and when I send him a text it is delivered to both of us. How can I remove my phone from the joint Apple ID and remove myself

    My son and I both have iphones with the same Apple ID. Since I installed iOS this morning I have started receiving all my sons texts and when I send him a text it is delivered to both of us. How can I remove my phone from the joint Apple ID and remove myself from finding out what he is up to during Freshers week!

    You have to use a different Apple ID for your son.

  • I changed companies and had icloud with my old company - now i want to just use my personal id and can't change any icloud info to match my personal ipad id - i can't delete the icloud without the old company id and password which is not available to me

    i changed companies and had icloud with my old company - now i want to just use my personal id and can't change any icloud info to match my personal ipad id - i can't delete the icloud without the old company id and password which is not available to me - it probably doesn't even exist anymore!
    Because I can't delete the icloud account, I keep getting view terms to accept and it wants to go to the old company account.  I can't do anything to get rid of this - when I try to delete the icloud it wants me to delete find my ipad and asks for the old co. id and password - it's a vicious circle and i just want to get rid of it and start fresh with my regular personal email id and password!!!  Help!

    You will need that old Apple ID and password, which does indeed still exist. Apple doesn't delete Apple IDs, though if this ID was in the control of your company they may have changed the password. If so, you will need your former company to log into the iCloud account using that ID and password and erase the iPad or remove it from iCloud:

    Until that's done you cannot change those settings, and if you try to restore the iPad will have it locked with Activation Lock and thereafter be unusable.
    Regars.

  • How can I get iCloud to accept my working Apple ID and password

    My Apple ID and password works for iTunes and App Store.  I'm trying to set up iCloud on my iPhone and iPad but i keep getting an error message that reads unsupported ID.  Apple ID must be in the form of email address (@me.com).  I don't have a MobileMe account. How can I get iCloud to accept my working Apple ID and password?

    I've also reset my password to my Apple ID. I still get the Unsupported ID and password.

  • How can I sign out or remove the old apple ID in app store's updates?

    I created a new apple id and signed in the app store. When I update my apps, it requires me to sign in with my old apple id, and I cannot sign out my old id. How can I sign out or remove the old id in app store's updates?

    Delete those applications and then download them from the new Apple ID. This may require repurchasing them.

  • I have problem with the security question which i forgot the answer how can i change it as i already have apple id and password

    I have problem with the security question which i forgot the answer how can i change it as i already have apple id and password

    You may reset the password on your account by opening https://iforgot.apple.com/ in Safari and entering your Apple ID (your email address, which the moderators should have removed earlier).
    You won't be able to set the password to your email address, or a recently-used password (if I remember correctly).
    Once you change your password, you should update your password on your iOS device in Settings > iTunes & App Store, then tapping the "Apple ID: <username>" cell at the top to re-enter your password.  (Your iOS device may prompt you for the new password before getting to Settings as well.)
    Hope that helps.  If you have a different issue, please post a follow-up message.
