How can i remove the previous icloud acount from my iphone4?

I recently purchased a second hand iphone4 not jailbroken and i already restored it to factory settings but i can't log in to icloud using my account because it states that  "The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone". How can i remove the previous icloud acount from my iphone4? Hope someone could help me on this. Cheers! :)

Hi,
My dad gave me his old iphone as he got an upgrade. I can't seem to change his icloud account to mine. I'm getting his updated calender and his mail - and there seems to be some confusion between both our accounts. He seems to be acquiring some of my contacts - some of which have names which have led to some probing questions... So basically this needs to be sorted out! How can i delete his account from the iphone but not his whole icloud account? he would not be happy if i did this...

    Sorry, but without knowing the Apple ID and password that has been used to set up the phone, you can't set it up with a different Apple ID. The Activation Lock has to be deactivated first. And nobody but the previous owner can do that.

    Guys can you help me?

    No. You have reached Activation Lock, a security feature that can only be signed out from by the original owner. Not even Apple can help you out with this.
    Sorry but the device is useless. Seeing you cannot contact the previous owner then a refund also seems impossible which would have been your only other option.

    You're not supposed to see iCloud.com from your mobile device, it's for use only with a computer. You can view the iCloud data on your mobile device through the appropriate apps (contacts, calendars etc)

    how can I add my previous icloud storage from my old iTunes ID to my new icloud  account,

    "So, is it possible to sync/merge/move/share those purchased apps from the old apple-ID to a new apple-ID?"
    No.
    Sorry.
    Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased, and will always have to be updated using that account.

    - Note that apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

    Open iTunes on the computer you want to deauthorize.

    You might need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.

    How can i remove the terms and conditions from my app store icon on iphone 5s

    Hello mrh1962,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with accepting Terms & Conditions on your iPhone 5s.
    First, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    how can i remove the end pice/pin of my headphones out of my computer?

    IF you cannot pull it out with your finger tips, you need to take the machine in for service to an Apple Store or AASP. Doing this type of work yourself could seriously damage the computer so it's best left to professionals.

  • How can I remove the previous owners apple i.d. from my app store?

    Just recently, after 8 months of ownership, my App Store has started to cancel my updates in favour of asking the computers previous owner to log into the app store to update. Is there any way I can remove their account from my App Store? It's getting annoying!

    Were there apps that the previous owner bought from the Mac App Store on the Mac when you got it? They should have been removed before passing the Mac to you. At this point those are pirated apps and they can only be updated using the previous owners Apple ID. You should remove all of them from the Mac and buy them using your own Apple ID. Probably not what you wanted to hear.
