Incorrect apple id cannot be used to unlock this iphone
Having a bit of a mare tonight. I have tried to restore from backup on my iMac to my girlfriends iPhone 5, I made the back up last night, and also backed up to iCloud last night using her apple id and password. Now according to Apples advice, if iTunes says there is not enough space to restore, go to iPhone and delete all content and settings etc. I did this it asked for iCloud login details etc and I deleted all content, when I plugged in to iTunes to retrieve the previous backup, I cannot get past the activation lock because of password. I can login to iCloud OK, (the same ID used to back up to iCloud last night!) with password but it won't accept it. This is so stupid I don't know where to start, the phone is now completely bricked, and can't even be activated yet alone restored.
She has had this phone from new but iCloud has always been a mess on this phone since iOS 7.
Any ideas??From iTunes
This iPhone is currently linked to an Apple ID (s●●●●●@t●●●●●.com). Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPhone.

I have been sent an email to say that my apple id has been used to download ibooks. I have now changed my password as I have not downloaded ibooks. I would like to know if I am going to be charged ?
Was it a genuine email from Apple or a phishing attempt to try and get your account and payment details ? Whether you will be charged will depend if anything was downloaded on your account, and whether or not it was a free item - we are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know if anything has been bought on your account.
The iBooks app is free app, but if you haven't already done so then check to see if anything shows on your account's purchase history : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store.
If a purchase shows there and you didn't make it, and nobody else has access to your account or devices and made it, then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption -
Just got an e mail to say that my Apple ID was just used to download photoshop touch for phone for 2.99 from the App Store with a receipt number. Is this a scam for me to give my Apple ID?
No but there's a link to reset your password. Etc etc..
This is the email I got.
"Your Apple ID was just used to download Photoshop Touch for phone £2.99 from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.
If you initiated this download, you can disregard this email. It was only sent to alert you in case you did not initiate the download yourself.
If you did not initiate this download, we recommend that you go to iforgot.apple.com to change your password, then see Apple ID: Tips for protecting the security of your account for further assistance.
Regards,

I have reset my iPhone 5 and now it is asking me to activate my phone with my apple ID but when i put in my details in its say the my email address cannot be used to unlock my iPhone? help!
You need the Apple ID and password from the previous owner who set the Activation Lock. Where did you get this phone?

After formatting my iPhone 6 cannot activate it with my apple I'd say that
Incorrect apple I'd this I'd cannot be used to unlock this iphoneIf you're the device's original owner, take the device and its original purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store.
If not, but you're able to contact the person who set the lock, send them this link and tell them to follow its instructions.
If neither of the above applies, 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.)

Cannot be used to unlock this ipad
HI, can you help me please , I am in trouble
First I restored my IPAD 4 then the ipad request "activate ipad by icloud account" .Second i entered my ID apple and it said "
"[email protected]" cannot be used to unlock this iPad.
help me pleaseWelcome to the Apple community Roan.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

i can't activate my iPad and I'm sure i am using the correct apple id and password but when i press net it says it cannot be used to unlock this
You can try to figure out which Apple ID/email address and/or password you used to activate it by going to http://iforgot.apple.com
If you can't, you'll need to contact Apple Account Security with your proof of purchase. -
Lately I have been trying to download some apps but when i click install, the appstore comes up with a message saying that my apple ID can't be used in the iTunes store. This has hever happened to me before and when I go to the settings and the Appstore, then click see Apple ID, it doesn't open. Please help, I don't know what to do. Is this a bug from iOS7.0.4???
JUst experienced the exact same problem after changing password.Getting same message. Hope someone has an answer for this.

I have received an email saying that my Apple ID has been reset. This wasn't by me!! Does this mean that someone has accessed my account. Tried phoning Apple but they keep sending me emails saying that they have tried but I haven't answered. My number is correct.
Are you sure they say the password has been changed or that *if* you want to change it, then go to a web site and do it there. If the latter, just ignore the email. If the former (and I'm assuming the email is regarding a changed password, but it could mean the security questions have been changed), then using a computer's browser, try logging into icloud.com. If you can do that using the old password, then it's not clear what the email means.

My iCloud account does not lock my device says that my account can not be used to unlock the device
what would be the solution to this problem because my data is correct but I get the message that can not be used to unlock
Do you have a used device, or did you purchase the device new and set it up. If this was a used device, then the iCloud ID that you see is more than likely the original owner and they did not remove it from their account. The only way to activate the device is to make contact with the original owner to have them remove it. If you cannot contact them, then you will not be able to activate the device. There is no way around it and Apple will not assist you in unlocking it or contacting the former owner.

Having difficulty viewing a film on my apple tv v1 transferred from computer, all settings on apple tv such as film ratings etc are set correctly but message appears refusing to allow the film to be watched on this device????

Please help me
Unfortunately no there isn't. That is the activation Lock feature of iOS 7 the purpose of which is to try to make it more difficult for people to steal and use iOS devices. Unless you can contact the previous owner and get their help erasing/unlocking the iPad, you are stuck with a useless device.
The possibility does exist that you have a stolen iPad. If the sale was legitimate, the previous owner would have no reason to not erase it for you. Just my own personal opinion ....
