Activation lock problem!

Hello,
I just got a new iPhone 4s from a friend and I can't get into it because of an activation lock problem. I've already tried to restore it in recovery mode but than I still have to log in to his account. Now i've logged in to his iCloud account and deleted the iPhone using the following instructions:
Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
Click All Devices to open a list of devices linked to their account, then select the device to be removed. It should show a gray dot or the word “Offline” next to the device name.
Click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from their account.
But it seems that I have should done the following instructions, because the iPhone wasn't completely erased yet:
Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
Click All Devices to open a list of devices linked to their account, then select the device to be removed.
Click the Erase button to erase all content and settings from the device. When prompted, don't enter a phone number or message. Click Next until the device is erased.
When the erase is complete, click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from the account.
The problem is that it's too late for that now, because I already deleted the iPhone from his iCloud... Please help me out here, what can I do to still erase it from iCloud?!

Activation lock problems iOS 7

Hi there,
On my iPhone on iOS 6, I was signed into my new, current iCloud account and all was working smoothly. But today I updated to iOS 7, and for some reason, it seems to now be signed into my old, now deleted, iCloud account (Apple ID). I can't delete this iCloud account and sign into my new one without the entering the password for my old account, but when it goes to verify the password of my old account, it always fails because the account is deleted. Is there any way to bypass activation lock so I can sign in to my correct iCloud account? It means that my calendar, contacts, mail, notes etc are now not working.
Also a word of warning, you haven't updated already, don't! It's ugly, slow and glitchy! iOS 6 is far superior.
If anyone has any ideas for me please please post them!
Thanks
Jennifer

Each time I erase content and settings on my iphone, I get an email:
Find My iPhone has been disabled on Jordan's iPhone.
With Find My iPhone disabled, this device can no longer be located, placed in Lost Mode, or remotely erased using icloud.com/find or the Find My iPhone iOS app.
In addition, your Apple ID and password will no longer be required for someone to erase, reactivate, and use your iPhone.
What is wrong with Activation Lock?????/

What is activation locked means regarding icloud? im selling my iphone 4s online and i have a buyer that is asking me to reset my icloud so he would have no problem with it when he buy it.

im selling my phone online and i have a buyer that is asking me if the phone is not activation locked? and if im the first owner of the phone? and if he activate it will he be able to update it and will the phone work?
i answered him that i never used my icloud cos the fact that icloud gives only 5gb free storage. im not gonna be able to sync all my data. and i told him that i reset the phone like its new. and i never updated it on iOS7 when i was using it.
is he going to have a problem activating the phone? isnt it when you reset the phone youre pretty much have like a new device nothing is installed nothing is logged in? sorry for the ignorance.

Follow these instructions before selling your phone to avoid any problems:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
Then confirm to the buyer that you have done all that. He/she will be safe in the knowledge that the phone is wiped and not locked or anything else.

Hello I have a problem with the iPhone 5 does not know the account activation lock

Hello I have a problem with the iPhone 5 does not know the account activation lock

You will not be able to access the device without the account activate lock password. IF you have the receipt and other proof of purchase you may have sucess with contacting apple and asking them for assistance. Depending gretaly on how much proof of purchase you have.
Good luck Friend.

Welcome to the Apple community Kobra.
Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

Forms 6i : Ole Container : Locking problem

We have a form in which user can attach all sorts of documents that are then saved in the database.
Once in a while we have a locking problem; when 2 users try to open the same document, the second one first gets a 'Could not reserve record (2 tries). Keep trying?'. When clicking 'No', the next error message is 'Frm-40501 : unable to reserve record for update or delete', and the form cannot be used anymore. He keeps complaining about the reserved record.
I've been looking into this problem but cannot seem to find a lot of help.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this locking problem?
I have tried the following things:
* setting the block to locking mode 'Delayed' => we ended up having duplicate records.
* Changing properties of the ole-container (In Place Activation, Inside Out support, ...).
Forms version is 6.0.8.13.0, database 8.0.6.0.0.
Any help is appreciated.

that seems to be a normal locking problem. Do you have tried to work with an ON-LOCK trigger ? (e.g. first to see, when locking will occur, second for implementing an own locking-behaviour, maybe with a SELECT for UPDATE)
Or do you think, that there is something special with your OLE-programming ?

I"m stuck with my ipod touch 5g(activation lock)

Can Anyone Help Me?. I've been Trying To Find The Solution Of This Problem For Six Months, But Could Not Find It.
iPod touch 5g stuck at activation lock. i brought the ipod 2nd hand. Asked the previous owner about the problem and he tried it and it had not worked. i think that he isn't the real owner. could you please provide the apple id(email) of the owner ,so i could contact him. i could also provide serial no. if you want to check the status of the ipod.
PRODUCT: IPOD TOUCH 5G
MEMORY;32 GB

No. That would violate numerous privacy laws.
If the seller won't give you your money back, turn it over to the police and learn a lesson from this.

Locking problem in BPS solution not getting solved using RSPLSE. SEM_BPS_S

Can anyone tell me exactly what "rsplse" offers to solve locking in BPS?
We have made correct selection of characteristics (in our case "costcentre" infoobject) in tab "Lock characteristics" , but still when two people are trying to access (write) data in the same transactional cube against the different cost centres, the system is throwing an error message Cube zIC_ccp is locked by username. (Or if a single person is using the two packages simultaneously using two web sessions , he is getting the same error. )
Our assessment is that he should not be facing this locking problem because cost centres here are acting as a key to different selection as configured in rsplse.
Can anyone tell me how to use parameter SEM_BPS_SAVE_UNLOCK. I want to know t. code and other t . code and other details to execute SEM_BPS_SAVE_UNLOCK.

Hi,
Please check the OSS note 635244.
From the OSS note :
 Notes on SET/GET parameters SEM_BPS_NO_LOCK, SEM_BPS_SAVE_UNLOCK :
These two parameters have nothing to do with the problem described above. They are only designed to facilitate the Customizing process, if users carry out Customizing in t ransaction BPS0 within a project.
SEM_BPS_NO_LOCK: This parameter has the effect that transaction data is not locked at all. Never use this parameter in a production system. As of Support Package 14 for Release 3.1B, parameter SEM_BPS_NO_LOCK is released by an additional switch in table upc_dark2: For this purpose you have to maintain a record with param = ENABLE_NO_LOCK and value = X in table upc_dark2. Only then the system includes parameter SEM_BPS_NO_LOCK. The parameter can then be useful if you want to test functions or the manual planning with 'test data' in Customizing.
SEM_BPS_SAVE_UNLOCK: This parameter only works in transaction BPS0; it has the effect that the system unlocks data (if possible) after it has been saved. Therefore, the system only simulates an exit and reentry in transaction BPS0 with the last active detail application. Therefore, the above parameter can be helpful if many people work on Customizing in transaction BPS0, because objects can be unlocked earlier.

Siva.

HT201365 How to remove activation lock from ios7?

How to remove activation lock from ios7 on my iphone4?

The problem with Activation Lock is that there is no system for unbricking devices by their rightful owners, no Apple Court of Appeals.
As a result of that, using Activation Lock will become the best way for disgruntled employees to take a parting shot after being fired. They will report their device lost, then turn it in and leave. After that, the company will no longer be able to use the device, even though the company owns it.

How do I turn off "Activation Lock" from found I pod Touch?

I have found my Ipod ouch (fifth generation) by use of Icloud, but now I can not turn the "Activation Lock" removed from my device. The device keeps on typing letters rapidly in the space I am to iput my apple password. I have used several procedures fro apple support to restore my device to no avail, , but by following a procedure called DFU in a blog. I was able (I thought) to rest the Ipod and sync with Itune, but the problem sitill exists and I do not have control of the Ipod (half of digital keyboard is covered with vertical color lines and keyboard is self typing in the password space) Also I have not been able to turn find my Ipod off in the devive. I cloud is no help after I removed the device following one of apple's support procedures
Appreciate Any help.

You're welcome. Activation lock looks like the image below. There shouldn't be any verticle lines. You have to enter the ID (which is only partially shown) and password that were used to originally activate the device in order to reactivate it.

Activation lock on former employees iPad

I work for a small company and we have a sales force of 8. We bought iPad 2's from AT&T for the salesmen. One of the salesmen was let go a month ago and he turned in his iPad. Which sat in storage until this week when I took it to get it ready for a new employee. When I turned it on I saw the iSO 7 update was waiting so I updated the iPad and wiped it. Now it's asking for the former employee's Apple ID and password.
We've made nurmurous attempts to contact the former employee without sucess. When another employee was able to reach him, he claimed he forgot the password and did not have access to it. We are quite sure he is just being vindictive for being let go.
So the issue is, we have a company owned iPad, bought throught AT&T, through our business rep which we still have the receipt for that is now useless. AT&T says it's an Apple issue and everything I've read seems to indicate that Apple will do nothing to help. The kicker is that the employee used their company email address for their Apple ID, yet must have changed their emergency email to their perosnal email because we have access to their email box and do not get the reset email when we use the iforgot website.
Is there any remedy?

You tagged onto an older post. If you want an answer to your specific question, you need to create a new post. By creating a new post, you will receive emails when helpers post responses.
That said ...
Talk to Apple Support. A Senior Advisor could unlock the device as long as you are able to provide the device serial number and proof of purchase.
The direct number for Apple’s Support is (800) 694-7466

Ios7 activation lock,previous owner,apple id,

hello
please help me

please help at fast as you can
<Email Edited by Host>

You're wrong and missing the bigger picture.
But don't worry I'm sure Apple will either make changes to iOS to fix issues for users in this situation. Because if you read the news and look at the flood of people locked out of their devices, you'll see this is a real issue.
And it can be fixed by either simply unmasking the email so we're able to contact the original owner or add a link to contact them without disclosing their email address.
And you ask why I don't contact the original owner if this was a "Legitimate" purchase? Well that's the whole problem we're all having.
There was no password on the device when I purchased it. I had happily used it everyday without any issues, that is until I updated it and was surprisingly and without warning locked out. And unfortunately It was purchased so long ago that my inbox has had several cleanups since and the address has been deleted. This whole thing made me think to check my Find My iPhone service. I removed several devices we've previously owned. And you know what, nobody has contcated us. Probably in the same boat I am. So I'm sure they'll be thankful I removed them.
I highly recommend you all do the same.
I TOTALLY AGREE

Activation lock problem!
