Already registered iPhone

Hi, I've brought an iPhone from eBay , fully sealed with receipt but when I try to register the phone for the warranty it says its already registered ?

Right.. it's possible either you are entering in the wrong serial number or another person entered your serial number by mistake.
To change register the device you can simply call AppleCare and have them register it to you.
The call is litterally this easy:
"Hi, i want to register my device to my name."
"Okay, what's the serial"
"xxxxx blah blah, also can you verify with the IMEI or IMED to make sure we have the right one?"
"Okay, i see your device here, we can go ahead and register it do your name and apple ID''
"thanks..."
"Your welcome, have a great day"
If you're trying to register an AppleCare agreement, you NEED to call AppleCare and have them look at why the agreement is linked to another person.

Can I register a new iphone to an apple ID that is already registered to another iphone?

I managed to disable my iphone so went through the process of restoring it, then it asked me to enter my apple ID that was originally used to set up the phone. However it isn't having any of it and says '[email protected] cannot be used to unlock this iphone' so the phone is now pretty much useless.
So i'm planning on buying another iphone 4s but I have a few questions.. Can my CURRENT apple ID be used to register my phone (same ID i've used all along just changed the email) that's already registered on my old iphone or will I have to create a new one? I have no option to delete the current owner settings as I never created an icloud account. thanks for any help!

"am I still able to register another phone to the same ID?"
Yes.
") that I do end up creating a new apple ID "
This will cause complications. i do not recommend this.

I registered my new iPhone 5s to my usual Apple ID, however it isn't showing in my devices when I log in. I tried to register it by adding a new device, but it tells me it's already registered to a different Apple ID. I'm really not sure how to fix this.

I tried to register it by adding a new device, but it tells me it's already registered to a different Apple ID. I'm really not sure how to fix this. I only have the one Apple ID and the phone is brand new, purchased directly from Apple.
When I check on the phone itself (iCloud and App Store settings) the Apple ID is correct. I'm not sure where else to check.
Whilst setting up the phone, it prompted me to register, which I did. Then when connecting to my laptop through iTunes it prompted me again so I registered again. I even got a confirmation email to the email address associated with my Apple ID that the registration was successful.
How can I add my iPhone 5s to the list of devices on the correct Apple ID?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Will call Apple Care as soon as I can.

Why can´t I see contacts and calendar events from my iPhone in my mac pro if I already registered it in the cloud?

Why can´t I see contacts and calendar events already registered in my iPhone, in my Mac Pro ? I already actualize LION OSX and selected these items in the adjustments menu of the icloud. I could do it just once, after I installed Lion OSX, but up to the moment it does not updates.

Assuming you activated iCloud, try going to Settings>iCloud and make sure Calendars and Contacts are set to ON.

Hi, jsgladden.
Here is an article I would recommend when experiencing issues activating a device. The step referring to recovery mode usually resolves the issue.

To retrieve your data, you will need to restore from backup after processing these steps. Here is the article that walks you through restoring from either your iCloud or iTunes backup.

Reboot your computer and the iPhone for starters.
If you're on a Windows PC, connect the iPhone and open your Device Manager. To do that, click your Start Menu and do a search for Device Manager. Or if you're on Windows 8, open the Charms Menu on the right side and do the search from there. Once in the Device Manager, go down to Portable Devices and click the small arrow to open the sub-menu. One should say Apple iPhone. Right click on that and try to Update Driver Software. If that doesn't work, you can uninstall the driver, unplug the phone, then plug it back in to get it to reinstall the driver. That might take care of it.
Are you able to get a hold of a different Lightning cable just to be sure it's not your cable? I've seen instances where these cables get bent or twisted, especially at the Lightning connector end, and the wire inside the sheathing breaks even though the outside looks fine.

When I try to create an e-print account, it says my e-mail is already registered, but it is not!

The system returns an answer that my email is already registered, then if I try to get a password reset, it replies "use the e-mail associated with your account"...so I'm locked out

Hi, have you created any other online accounts with HP e.g.. a Snapfish account? Sometimes you may not even have remembered doing this if it was some time ago and you rarely used the account subsequently. This might explain why the system is saying the email address is already registered. Try it again and when you click the Forgot Password? link and are prompted to enter the email address associated with the account re-enter the same email address the system is saying is already registered. If that is a valid email address you should receive an email from the ePC service with instructions for resetting the password. Check the spam folder in your email account if you don't see any message
If you can't recall ever creating an online account with HP before, your best option is to create your ePrintCenter account using a different email address to the one you had been trying. The following mail clients have all been tested with the ePrint service:
Outlook 2003, 2007
Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, Gmail
Apple Mail (iPhone, iPad, Macbook, MacbookPro)
BlackBerry mail client
Nokia/Symbian client (Nokia)
I hope you get your problem sorted and can create your ePrintCenter account soon.

Register iPhone for apple id

How to register an iPhone in my apple id but it says it is already registered?? It's new!!!

look here FAQ apple id
http://support.apple.com/kb/he37

I try to register my new iPhone5 and its says that S/N is already registered with another AppleID! What can I do?

I try to register my new iPhone5 and its says that S/N is already registered with another AppleID!
(Maybe someone mispelled his own S/N and typed mine instead??)
What can I do?
Thanks!

To be precise: this iPhone was bought from the Apple Store by someone else, so is it possible that Apple has registered it automatically under that AppleID?
In this case, how can it be "transferred" to my Apple ID?
Thanks.

Can you register iPhone on one computer, then use the library from another?

My iTunes store doesn't work on my computer (ive tried to fix it - i think it's a virus on my computer), so what i thought i'd do is register my iPhone through my dads computer, then carry on using the iTunes library from my computer.

HT1391 A friend lost her iphone 4S, but she didnt download find phone, which she thought find phone was already in iphone 4S, during purchased. Now I can't help her to track iPhone & nobody Apple store in Msia, was able to help us.

Dear Apple Customer Support,
Last year A friend purchase a iPhone 4S - 32GB White.
When she purchase iPhone 4S, didnt realised she need to download Find Phone, has she thought it was already in iPhone 4S, system. I approved lots Apple Store in Malaysia, non could help me and all said the same, if you don't download Find Phone, there's no way you can trace it back. No doubt what they all had said is not wrong....but my heart said, am sure there's always a way to track or trace it back even without the Find Phone Apps. Knowing myself don't have such powerful system to find the phone back. Every Poison there's Anti-Dos for it. I know you have the power and system to track & trace the phone back by Apple. If Apple can build such powerful smart phone am sure there's always a way for you there to trace or track it. I had seem movies which even show but not many able to see the hidden message in movie or etc. All my wish was to least Delete or JAM the system by using the serial number or code which you produce in every iPhone 4S or etc. Least the person who took it, would not able to used it at all even if they wannt jail break it or does anything to iPhone 4S. Least they could do is either throw it away or return to Apple Store in individual country. I know what am asking might be impossible to asked, but its the impossible which its not impossible.
1st: Why build a system which so smart with all serial no and codes, but the "Find Phone" its not one of the Apps for iPhone?
2nd: Why must customer need to download "Find Phone" Apps and the rest of the Apple Apps in inside the Phone...? Doesn't make sense....
3rd: In any movie, you watched they will break the phone or throw it away and so they are not able to trace the person but the phone still can be trace or track...unless the person break the chips or put into Fire to destroy it completely, then YES, i believe it can't be trace or track.
Please kindly in your power to help or advice or bring this up to Apple Team Mind before all perfection to make iPhone....Metta
Sincerely,
GQ

SE 710a - Can't turn on Sync - Already registered as a USB device?

My Sony Ericsson S710a was working beautifully until just recently. I can only suspect that the problem has occurred because of a recent software update (I haven't tried to sync the phone for a couple of months).
iSync is just plain broke! I've removed every com.apple.bluetooth... com.apple.isync... com.anything.having.to.do.with.anything.related.to.isync.and.bluetooth...
I've removed all the phones from my library. I've restarted, removed and re-added the device from the bluetooth preference panel. yada yada yah... I can use file exchange, browse, everything but friggin sync!
I enable the "Turn on device Synchronization" checkbox in iSync and it auto deselects when I try try sync and says "No Devices Activated...". I remove the device and try to re-add it and it says it is "...already registered as a USB device." A USB device? It never has been nor ever will be a flippin' USB device!
What the heck did Apple do? Somebody throw me a bone here!
Dual 2.5 G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6) D-Link DBT-120 Dongle

I suspect a problem with Sync Services.
Can you open the Console application (in Applications -> Utilities), then launch iSync and see if something related to iSync or Sync in general appears in Console?

How do I download my free copy of mountain lion. The up-to-date program says my serial is already registered.

I tried to register my name and purchase information with the up-to-date program but the site says my serial number is already registered. So am I already available for the upgrade? Or did some little punk at futureshop rip off my serial number?
