Take it back to whomever you purchased it from and ask for a refund. There is no way to get past the "Activation Lock".

I bought an iphone 4s from a pawn shop,i need to check and make sure the phone is clear to be activated in my name,i was told you can check the IMEI number,i have the number,but what do i do with it?
Who is the carrier the iPhone is carrier locked with?
If the carrier has a blacklist for lost/stolen cell phones, it would be the carrier you need to contact. -
i bought and iphone but i can't activate it because i don't have the previous owner icloud account and don't know either how and where to contact him so what sould i do
Find a way to contact whoever you bought it from. If you can't do that, turn it over to the police. The phone is probably stolen. There is NO WAY past the activation lock without the credentials for the Apple ID that was used to lock it.

I just bought this ipad and cannot log out from icloud because i dont have the password.how can i log out from icloud?need help
You need to return it to the seller and get your money back. You cannot reset or use the device with another AppleID installed unless you know the password for that ID.
If the device has been jailbroken, no one on here can give you any further help...the Terms of Use prohibit us from doing so. -
I have a iPhone but the screen is cracked so I bought a new one off eBay but the past owner iCloud is still active is there anything I can do
Yes, use it for parts.

"File cant be opened because you dont have permission to use it"
Im suddenly getting this message on all the photos stored in my computer: "File cant be opened because you dont have permission to use it" If I click on 'Get Info' for pics, the "Sharing and Permissions" doesnt open either. Im OS X 10.7.3 Help!
Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
Launch the Terminal application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. If that doesn’t work, then in the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
Drag or copy – do not type – the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
chmod -R -N ~
You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
sudo !!
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select ▹ Restart from the menu bar. -

I bought a iphone 5s from a pawn shop and it has no sim and i cant activate it
iphone 5s ios 8.0.2 no sim cant activate
Not sure why you bought an iphone at a pawn shop, you're just going to run into trouble.
1. Find My iPhone Activation Lock
2. Do you even know if the phone is unlock to be used with different phone carriers? -

i purchased a iphone 4 which wants the previous owners apple account info.
If you're able to contact the person who set the lock, send them this link and tell them to follow its instructions.
If not, you can't activate the device but may be able to get it refunded. Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)

Hello
My iphone was recently stolen. I am hoping, by virtue of icloud memory used which I have viewed on a friend's Apple PC that my family photos are still on icloud. I assume that there is a chance my photos were uploaded automatically to icloud. My own laptop is XP only so I cannot access Photostream from my laptop.
Is there any way i can access icloud photostream and download all my family photos to my laptop?
Please help.
NigelNot with Windows XP, you need Windows 7 or 8, or a Mac.

I need help locating or locking my Iphone its been stolen.
No.
The only way would be if you had turned on the find my iphone feature in the iphone settings.
The app that you download has nothing to do with it. The feature is bult in.
If you did not turn it on, then you can do nothing, but report it to the police and your carrier, and change your passwords.
Sorry
