How do i wipe a phone that has been registered with another itunes account?

I have several users who have upgraded their company phones from 4/4S to new 5/5S devices.  They used their personal iTunes account to register the phone.  Now when I try to do a restore and wipe the device of the device, it won't let me without the previous user's Apple ID.  Is there a way around this?  One of the phones I am trying to wipe, the user is no longer with the company and I don't know how to get ahold of them.  Is that phone just useless now?

You will need the user's Apple ID and password, or you will need to get them to go into iCloud and erase the iPhone. If you can't get in touch with a user, then your only hope will be to contact Apple Support. I've read from others that with proof that your company owns the iPhone there is something they can do to help, but that's not confirmed.
This is the problem with allowing users to set up Find My iPhone with personal Apple IDs. You should set them up with a company-controlled ID for iCloud so as to avoid this problem.
Regards.

  • What does it mean when you get a pop up notification saying that a phone number has been associated with your iTunes account? And what does it mean when I don't know the number that is associating with my account? Should I be worried?

    I got a notification stating that a number has been associated with my now old iTunes account and it is a number I do not recognize. Should I be worried at all?

    Yes, if you don't bother to change your password. You may also want to seriously consider turning on two step authentication.

  • How can I open a project that has been created with Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration software, on my trial version of Premier Pro CC?

    Hi,
    I'm working with a colleague who is using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration software on his PC version of Premier Pro CC. I am using a mac and have a trial version of Premier Pro CC. When I try to open a project file that he has sent me I get an error message-
    "Missing renderer: This project was last used with Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA), which is either not available or not certified on this system. Mercury Playback Engine Software Only will be used."
    When I click OK and locate the files I get a message saying "File format not supported".
    Can anyone tell me what to do so that we can share project files?
    Many thanks,
    Jessie

    Shouldn't really be the MPE at fault here ... what is the codec of the footage/sequence/project?
    Second, can you create a new project in PrPro, then in the media browser, import that sequence from the other project?

  • How to open a RAW file that has been created with Photoshop CS5.5?

    I did some HDRs and when back in Photoshop CS 5.5 I tried to save them (16 bit colur depth).
    GIven the option to save the image as .RAW file I did that but now:
    Which program can be used to open those Photoshop created RAW files???
    When I try to open one of these files with Photoshop I just get noise.

    1.  Photoshop CAN open (flat) PSD files through Camera Raw, no problem.
    2. There are those of us who have used every version of Photoshop, going back almost 20 years, and who *still* haven't used them all.  I just don't see that as any kind of problem. 
    3. Lastly:  You have been asserting here all along that Photoshop won't re-open a 16 bit .raw file properly.  That's absolutely wrong.  If you get the bit depth, number of channels, and pixel counts right (i.e., the same as when the image was saved) it WILL open properly.  The thing is, with the Photoshop raw format there really is no metadata in the file, meaning YOU have to put all those numbers in.  It's not a general purpose "push one button and done" kind of format - it's a specialty format, as Chris noted above.

    1) will try that out
    2) I am just curious and like to try out all functions and see what it does and how it works.
    3) guess I have to play arould with it a bit more to find the right settings that allow me to save and re-open the file correctly.
    BTW: when writing messages here my FF browser doesnt show any cursor in the text field which makes it difficult to see where I am. Does everyone have that problem?
    Just noticed: I have to click on to something in the pulldown menu and later the cursor appears. I have the same problem with facebook. Have to click somewhere else first and then go back to the text field to make the cursor appear.

  • OVM-2008 The Server Pool Master has been registered with some other pool

    I am getting this error, while creating my first ever server-pool.
    Check prerequisites to create server pool (First-Pool) failed: (OVM-2008 The Server Pool Master (172.16.0.37) has been registered with some other pool, and can not register it again.)
    Any idea what can be going wrong?
    regards, Yora

    The only time I've seen this is when the server really has been registered with another pool. You need to clean out the local ovs-agent database at */etc/ovs-agent/db* and restart the agent.

  • IPOD can't be loaded on ITunes, say's that it's registered with another Itu

    I just got a new IPOD, 30GB with Video and I sync'd with one of my computers that had some of my songs on it. When I went to sync it with my laptop it wouldn't load my ipod stating that it was registered with another Itunes.
    Any ideas?

    You can't "sync" that is automatically update an iPod from multiple libraries or computers. If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply.

    Just downgraded back to iTunes 10.7 and copied music from ipod classic to itunes using houdini, but how do i copy the playlists from the ipod when itunes says that my ipod has been synced to another itunes library?

    Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
    I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
    Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
    Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
    How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.

  • Hi I would like to know how I can view a video that has been send via mail. When I tap on the video it only gives me the option to send iit as mail again

    Hi  I would like to know how I can view a video that has been send to me via email. When I tap on the video icon it only gives me option to send as a mail or to open in drop box which I don't want to open in.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are doing this from your phone (as you mention) then you can use the new iPhoto Photo Journal feature to do this.
    Unfortunately, iCloud does not offer equivalents to Mobile Me’s iDisk, Gallery or Web Hosting services. You will need to find a third party solution to replace these services. You might consider DropBox, SugarSync, MediaFire or any other service that offers online storage.

    HoW do I save a recording that has been sent to me via text message? Thanks

    You will need a document storage, player, or manager to save the file (DropBox, File Manager, Box, VLC, MoliPlayer for example).
    To actually save the file, with it open in iMessage, tap the file icon (lower left) and select the app to save it in.

  • Will Apple Unlock a phone that has been reported as stolen?

    Will Apple Unlock a phone that has been reported as stolen? My network provider has registered the iphone's IMEI as stolen; therefore I'm assuming that it will need to be unlocked by Apple...?

    The Phone was not locked to a specific network provider .... as I purchased the phone independently.
    I only have a SIM contract with the network provider, but the said that they would barr the SIM and then the phone using the IMEI. They said hat anyone wanting to use the phone would need to request an un-barr using the IMEI. Would request be made to my network provider .... can then then pass these details on?
