Apple ID removed on device but still linked

hello
I bought iPhone 4 from my university guy. It was fuly erased and there was no Apple ID.
now I am using my apple ID on it but when I connect my iP4 to iTunes, it is still unlocked Previous Owner's ID.
I asked his Apple ID from him, but he doesn't know.
How should I remove it completely?
Thank you

Hello Babanano,
so, your Apple ID/iCloud account is set up in Settings > iCloud, right?
Are you sure that the iPhone was reset to factory settings and not synced with someone else's computer, before you received it?

  • How do I change my daughters Iphone to my have her own I cloud account but still link it to my original family account

    My daughter got an iphone and it was orginally set up on my personal icloud id and now I would like her to have her own ID but still link it to my cloud account for calenders and reminders but so that her contacts and things like that are her own.  How do I change this over?  Do I need a new apple/mac ID for her first and then link it to the icloud account or a specific ICloud account specifically.
    Thank you

    She can do this by doing the following:
    Save any photo steam photos she wants to keep on her device by opening her my photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted.  (This will not delete the account from iCloud.  Other devices still syncing with the account will not be effected by this.)
    In Settings>iCloud, sign back in with a different Apple ID (if she doesn't have one, click Get Free Apple ID at the bottom) to create a new, separate, iCloud account.
    Turn on iCloud data syncing with the new account, and when prompted, choose Merge to upload her data to the new account.  When she turns Mail to On she will be given a new, separate, iCloud email account.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, sign into the origingal iCloud account, then turn on Calendars and Reminders in this secondary iCloud account on her phone.  This will allow her to continue to sync calendars and reminders with the original shared iCloud account, while syncing her contacts and other data with her own separate iCloud account.

  • HT201441 Is it possible for APPLE to remove a device from an Account as an administrator?

    Considering that apple knows exactly what device is linked to what AppleID, is it not possible that if you bought a phone from ebay for example, and are unable to get hold of the original owner that Apple can get in touch with them and request they remove it from their account?
    Or perhaps if no response is given, remove it from the individuals account so that atleast it can be used?

    Ask for a refund from the eBay seller. If they refuse file a complaint with eBay.

  • HT204053 Hi, my husband has downloaded ios7 and now he is receiving my iMessages/facetime calls.  Obviously we both use the same apple Id.  How do i keep using the same apple id on both devices, but disable my iMessages etc from his phone??

    My husband has upgraded ios7.  His iphone and mine have the same apple id.  he has activated "icloud" which i have never activated before.  He is receiving my imessages and facetime calls. How do i disable this yet still continue using our shared apple id on both devices????
    thanks

    Short term solution, do this on both devices
    Settings > iCloud > Shut off anything you don't want shared
    Long term solution (actual solution)
    You need seperate Apple IDs for iCloud. iTunes and iCloud are not the same.
    Create a new Apple ID > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    On one of the devices go Settings > iCloud > Delete Account > Sign in with the new Apple ID
    This will seperate your Contacts, Calendars, Messages etc.
    You both can continue to use the same Apple ID for iTunes and share apps and music

  • How to remove the new, but unneeded, "links buttons" at bottom of FF default start pg?

    New default FF w/Google is great, & thanks very much too all. Would prefer to remove the new button links at bottom of pg, & have more blank space on the page where the new links are presently. The links are already fine for use at top of pg in a toolbar. Is removing the 6 new button links possible? Thanks.

  • HT1174 Cant sync Ipad with Itunes, have run tests can see Apple USB port in devices but Itunes doesn't recognise it. Windows auto play doesn't have Itunes as an option. how can I get to work please

    Does anybody know why Itunes can no longer sync to my Ipad, on pluggine in USB windows autoplay kicks in any doesn't give me option to connect to Itunes when opeining devices no option available to selt Itunes either.

    Hey bron_cross,
    Wow, Superb troubleshooting so far! Usually for the symptoms you have described, I recommend the sub-step titled “If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode” located in Step 5 of this article:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    However, it seems like you have exhausted all of the suggestions in that step. Did you happen to move on to Step 6: Check for third-party software conflicts? If not, here is the excerpt:
    Certain phone and cellular device connectivity software from vendors such as Samsung, Nokia, Bora, Novatel, Sony, Android, LG, Sierra, Huawei, Pantech, or Motorola may cause your device not to be recognized. If you have such software on your computer:
    1. Uninstall the phone or cellular connectivity software temporarily, and test.  Contact the manufacturer of this software for assistance in doing this. If you use the third-party phone or cellular device for your Internet connection, try connecting to an alternate network using Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
    2. Remove iTunes and all related Apple software by following this article (for Windows XP), or this article (for Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8).
    3. After reinstalling iTunes, test the device.
    4. If you still need your third-party phone or cellular connectivity software that was removed, reinstall this software and test your device to ensure it still functions with iTunes. Contact the vendor of your phone connectivity software if the issue returns.
    Also, third-party security software may conflict with iOS devices connecting to iTunes. Follow this article to troubleshoot issues that may be caused by your security software. After resolving any issues you may have with your security software, you may need to try the steps in this article again.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Music has been removed from iTunes but still shows on iPad. It does not give me the option to hold and swipe to delete from my iPad.

    I have removed all unwanted music from my itunes library and then synced my ipad but the music is still there?  I tried to delete off the ipad by holding the song down to get the delete but it the delete option isn't there.  Nothing happens.  How can I remove the unwanted music from the ipad.

    If I turn it off can I still sync new music that I buy and want on all devices?

  • Ipad mini is stuck on Apple Logo, have shut down but still won't reboot

    Ipad mini is stuck on Apple Logo.  Have done a forced shut down, but when it starts up again its back to the apple logo - its not moving either

    Hi Bonney Fam,
    Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
    You mention that your iPad mini is stuck at the Apple logo after it shut down. If you haven't already, try resetting it again:
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    From:
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If the iPad still doesn't start up past the Apple logo, try this method to reinstall iOS:
    If your device gets stuck during startup
    When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
    Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
    Put your device in recovery mode.
    When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
    From:
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    All the best,

  • Documents fail to print to Adobe PDF printer device (but still print!)

    Acrobat Pro X, Windows 7 Professional 32-bit
    Strange thing. When I am printing a document (any document e.g. from Word, from Excel, from a page of the internet, etc) if I elect to "print" (i.e. virtually print it) to the Adobe PDF virtual printer which installed when I installed Acrobat X, the following happens:
    - The process appears to run normally
    - All the correct Adobe Acrobat dialogue boxes appear as normal (e.g. my options to select security settings, save-to location, etc)
    - The PDF is correctly produced and saved in the location I specify
    ...BUT...
    - The virtual "printer" reports printing errors and keeps the document in the virtual "queue" (sorry if I am using all the wrong terms here).
    So, as I write I have just asked to print this page to the Adobe PDF virtual printer. The "Creating Adobe PDF" box all came up as normal and sure enough the document was created. This DESPITE the fact that the previous SIX documents I printed the same way all produced errors and are all still sitting in the virtual printer queue.
    This isn't a disaster as it would appear the print queue does not really queue... the fact that there are now seven documents in the Adobe PDF print queue doesn't matter than much since, if I print an eighth, it will print normally - there will then be eight "failed" documents in the print queue. Periodically I just go in and delete them all.
    However since this is clearly not designed-in behaviour it would be nice to sort it. Anyone have any ideas?
    Thank you
    Alastair

    Hey Everybody!
    I found the answer to the problem!!!!  I was having the same problem except
    it would NOT save the converted PDF, it just sat there in the
    que.  Follow this link and the instructions
    and it fixed the problem!
    http://acrobatninja.blogspot.com/2011/03/printing-problems-with-adobe-acrobat.html
    P.S.  I just got a new laptop running Windows 7 64b and was forced to upgrade my Acrobat from V.8 to X Pro to use at all in W 7.  Been fighting this problem now for 3 months.  Thank GOD I finally found the real fix!

  • HT202696 I hve Apple care on 1 device but the person at the apple store just talked about replacing fried ports and did not answer my broken glass or component questions and nothing in detail is actually posted so im afraid its yet another insurance scam

    I want to know what exactly Apple will fix on say my IPhone 6 plus. Like a dropped device with broken hardware or components or port issue, electrical broken glass etc.. I only have AppleCare on 1 device because I cant get straight answers about repair cost or if it will repair broken glass ,components  etc. The person at Apple just said it will fix ports and did not answer the other question about a real broken device or broken glass. 

    Actually that's not entirely accurate Csound1... If you purchased AppleCare+ it not only extends your warranty an extra year but it also now covers up to two accidental damages (water damage included). Now every scenario is different when you're talking phone damages so it's best to set up a reservation with the Genius Bar if something happens and they'll assess the damage. Either way, as long as you're covered with AppleCare you'll receive a deductible price on parts. Certain instances you may not have to pay anything which are usually things like faulty software, faulty buttons, etc.
    Hope this was helpful!
