But now it is locked to other iCloud account.

  • My iPhone was stolen and I have contacted the police who are using the meid number to locate.  How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back?

    My iPhone was stolen.  I used Find My iPhone app to lock it and display a message.  The phone has not connected to the internet to locate it.  I contacted the police and they have taken my meid number.  How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back?  Are there other ways the theif can use it.  I was told once they put in a new sim card and use it, whatever software the police have, it will show up.

    Honestly? In the US (I can't speak to other countries, though I doubt it works much differently in a lot of the world) The police took your report and filed it either in their computers or, on paper. They will now not think of this again. The only time it will cross anyones mind is if, in the course of entering information into evidence about items recovered or seized at a crime scene, the serial number of an iPhone that was found/seized happens to match yours, in which case you will be contacted.
    The police in the US can and will do nothing to 'blok' the phone and it's not worth their time to try and locate it unless you know for a fact that it was stolen by a big time drug lord, master criminal, or some other such prime target and they can get a court order to track the location of the phone in order to locate this individual for your own purposes.  If they do that, they'll probably keep him under surveilance for a year or so before they act.
    Basically, the police don't care about your phone. If they find it, they will give it back to you. They are not, however, going to go looking for it. They have better things to do.
    I'm sorry, but that's the way it is.

    You must have had find my iPhone on, or it was locked by your phone carrier.
    Call your our cell carrier first.
    then log on to a computer to iCloud to erase your iPhone.  
    NOW... You will be able to setup with a backup.

    Method #1... Call 800-MY-APPLE & have them check the serial number. If a previous owner called in to find out how to use find my iphone, chances are there'll be a case made of it

    MacBook Airs won't run Classic, nor will Classic connect to iCloud accounts.    You will need your Mac OS X version to answer the question involved.    Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac, and post in the appropriate forum in the link below:

  • HT1918 Hi, I have registered at apple site, and i have submitted the credit card information, they deducted some ammount without my permission, why they did that? how can i remove my credit card details from that site or deactivate my account?

    From that HT3702 page :
    If you update your billing information, the iTunes Store or Mac App Store will place an authorization hold on your payment card account, usually in the amount of 1 USD or the local currency equivalent, to verify your account information.
    You might see authorization requests on your online statement. These requests aren't actual charges; they are tests to confirm that your payment card account is active and has available funds to accommodate transactions. Authorization holds are removed by your financial institution shortly after your purchase clears. The time it takes to remove authorization requests varies by financial institution.
    The number of days that it takes to diappear varies by bank, but it's usually a few days - though with the weekend coming up it might take an extra day or two

  • TS1398 I have an Iphone 5 and it will not connect to any WIFI networks - I have tried following the steps above (including reseting network settings) but it just says 'incorrect password' every time. How can I resolve this?

    you have definitely tried the correct steps, all you would need to do now is a back up & restore to factory settings. If after that the issue remains then you would most likely need a replacement unit.

  • HT5622 I own three Apple devices, but my iPad remained associated with my old email address and password. How can I register it with the same new email and password?

    I own three Apple devices, but my iPad remained associated with my old email address and password. How can I register it with the same new email and password?

    If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

  • I Yogi is a complete scam. I have had a problem with my mIPhone 4s and somehow diverted to IYogi who assured me that they could fix the problem if i paid £65.00 The problem was fixed and one month later I received a "No Service" message on my phone. I

    I Yogi is a complete SCAM having already paid for 2 help calls £60 approx I once again had NO SERVICE on my IPhone 4s and was told by their operative that if I paid another £40 for one year cover this would include an upgrade to the IPhone mid August or September. I refused to agree to this and said I would report them to the National Press. Suddenly.... my service was restored. I now want my initial payment refunded and will stop at nothing to get this back.
    What is happening here is this: Once you agree to pay for 2 help calls they then at some point disconnect your service and try to get money from you to reconnect. I will report this SCAM to the Media and hope that this SCAM CAN BE STOPPED.
    I also blame Apple for allowing this to happen in the first place because when trying to access APPLE HELPLINE you are diverted to this I YOGI crowd of thieves and money grabbers who are operating under the mantle of Apple.
    BEWARE.....ONCE YOU AGREE TO PAY YHEIR INITIAL FIRST 2 HELPS THEY THEN AT SOME POINT CAUSE YOU ANOTHER PROBLEM IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET MORE MONEY FROM YOU..... beware of this I YOGI THEY ARE SWINDLERS !!!!!

  • I have my IPhone 4 2years and 3 months. The battery isnt lasting the day. Should I get a new battery?

    My battery is lasting 5 hours max. Should I get a new battery? I have it 2years and 3 months.

    Depending on the charging cycles of your battery, could be time for an exchange:
    Charge Cycles
    A properly maintained iPhone battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 500 full charge and discharge cycles. You may choose to replace your battery when it no longer holds sufficient charge to meet your needs.
    How much does iPhone Battery Replacement Service cost?
    Service arranged through Apple costs $79. A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if this service requires shipping. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax.

  • I was sharing apple id with husband on our iPhones but now we want to each have our own, how can i do this without having all his info on his phone be lost?

    When husband and i got our iPhones we shared the same Apple ID but not that we have added an iPad and Mac he wants his own apple ID how can I change the apple id/icloud to his own without deleting all his phone and resetting?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You both need your own iCloud accounts. I would set up the second iCloud account and get all the data showing in both accounts, before trying to delete anything. You will need to delete the unwonted contacts and appointments etc manually.

  • My husband shares my Apple ID  but now I see that this causes problems so how can I take him off my account so he can get his own  Apple ID ?

    My husband shares my Apple ID but now I see that this causes problems.   So how can he get his own Apple ID for his device?

    I agree that having separate Apple IDs is a good idea. It helps keep things from getting confused between two user who might have different needs and wants on their devices.
    You husband should save and backup to a computer all the files, photos and music that he wants to keep. He should also save any files created with the apps on his device. Once that is done he can use the Settings app to erase his device.
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase all Content and Settings
    He can then set up his device as new and create an Apple ID for himself. Once the device is up and running he can purchase and/or download the apps he wants and sync with a computer to restore the photos, files, etc.
    To make syncing easier, with two Apple IDs, I suggest that you each use a different computer to sync with OR you have separate accounts on one computer. This way there will be two separate iTunes libraries and syncing with each will be straightforward.

  • My iphone was wrongfully taken from me from the police.

      A year later, after lawyer fees, etc, I'm trying to get my data off my phone. They tried so many times to get the passcode that the iPhone is disabled (for another 40 years) and needs the previously synced library. What files do I need from my backup, for the phone to think this is that library? I have my itl files, my entire apple computer folder, and possibly some others.

    Contacts should have been synced to an app on your PC (i.e OutlooooooK) or a cloud service (Gmail, Yahoo, MobileMe).  The contacts stored in the backup are incomplete at best. 
    As far as your new computer syncing with your phone without data loss, the best way is to restore a backup of your old computer including EVERYTHING in your iTunes library and the MobileSync\Backup\ folder I listed above.  If you don't care about app, music, or media, just the backup folder is needed.

  • How can i register free with my ACCOUNT with out CREDIT CARD? i need help.

    i really need your help

    You need to follow the instructions on this page when creating a new account (the instructions won't work with existing accounts) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 - if you don't use those instructions then you will need to give card details before you will be able to use the account to download any item from the store.
