    This the Activation Lock. Read here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
    The only way is to login to iCloud with your computer browser and wipe the iPhone.
    If you can't then you have a brick, Apple won't help and AL cannot be bypass.

    I have forgotten to turn off the FIND MY iPhone appplication before i reset up the phone, Now it's asking me to verify with apple or icloud ID but when i entered the same ID which was registered with itune & icloud, It says INCORRECT. It's been already 03 days, I am asking help with apple care centre, UAE, Head qurter, UK, USA but they are just sending me a link to reset up which still doesn't work. I am really dissapointed that i have wasted my 700 US dollar. Is it true that i can't use anymore this iPhone if i can't unlock? or there is any one to help in Dubai, Since i am staying in Dubai. I had called Dubai authorised care cantre. They asked my apple serial & IMEI number, They said ' the serial number is based on USA support but i bought in retail shop in UAE, They are also helpless. I am really unhappy with Apple sevice what they provide the customer. If it's so complicated the i wouldnt buy iPhone. Why they can't reset up my iphone like new mobile using their software. Please help me if anyone of you have solution for this. I am really sad that i wasted 700 USD. Can someone help me??

  • HT1349 I need to turn off the "find my phone" feature on my iPhone 5.  The company I worked for took back their iPhone and now I cannot receive texts on my new LG F6 phone.  Can I do this w/o the serial number?

    I replaced my iPhone 5 with an LG F6 phone and now I cannot receive text messages from my friends with iPhones.  Can somebody please tell me where to go to turn off the "Find your phone" feature and what ever else I need to turn off to accomplish this objective?  Thank you.

    Find My iPhone has nothing to do with receiving or not receiving text messages.
    What you should have done is turn off iMessage prior to handing over the device.

  • I have broken my screen and cannot access my iphone. I have an icloud account which I have used to back up my phone previously but nothing is showing on the website. How can I backup my data?

    I have broken my screen and cannot access my iphone. I have an icloud account which I have used to back up my phone previously but nothing is showing on the website in contacts etc. As I can enter my pin I cannot connect it to a laptop. Is there anyway of backinh up my data, pictures etc?

    No there isn't. If you check iCloud, you are not showing any backups at all? Did you have the phone set to sync contacts in iCloud, or were you just backing up to iCloud? If you were just backing up, then you should be able to access the backup, but if you were not syncing, then you probably cannot see the contacts in iCloud. You would have to wait until you restore from the backup to see them. You will probably have to go onto the iCloud website to erase and remove the device from Find My iPhone if you want to clear it off.

  • Cannot access my iphone

    I logged into iCloud then to the Find My iPhone app. As I am planning to sell my iPhone, I thought it should be deleted from iCloud so I went ahead and deleted it. Now I cannot access my iPhone cause it is reported stolen. Please advise! Thanks.

    You may be right. Basically the sim got locked as I reported it stolen. I will get a new sim and see how it goes. Thanks for the effort luuklp & KiltedTim.

  • Cannot access 2g iPhone

    I recently bought an iPhone 2g off ebay planning to use it as an ipod/camera.
    I read that I could use a de-activated sim card to turn the phone on. I bought one and installed it. The no sim card message go's away, but I am still stuck at the emergency call screen and cannot access my iPhone.
    Do I have any options?
    Thanks, Scott

    Hi beckiewinter!
    I have some information for you that may help you understand your iPhone's Activation Lock more thoroughly:
    iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
    So in order to update your iPhone, you may need to turn off Find My iPhone. This can be done through the iCloud settings, and more information on those settings can be found right here:

    Trying to restore my iphone 5c, but it says i have to turn off the 'find my phone' option in icloud.  when i try, it brings up the wrong apple id.  I reset it under itunes & app store in settings but still not working...frustrated!

    Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, click Restore button of iTunes on computer.

    I have had a new hard drive installed. On start up I transferred all my settings and documents from my time capsule. Once complete I have two user accounts. Mine and guest. I cannot access either. Mine says password incorrect even though its not. Any idea what is wrong here and how I can reset my password. I don't have a start up disc. Thanks very much

    From System Preferences/Help:
    Reset your login password using your Apple ID
    Before you can use your Apple ID to reset your login password, make sure that FileVault isn’t enabled on your computer.
    Also make sure that an Apple ID is associated with your user account, and that an administrator has given you permission to reset your own password using an Apple ID. For more information, see this help topic:
    Associate Apple IDs with your user account
    Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet.
    In the login window, click the question mark in the password field, and then click the arrow in the dialog that appears.
    Enter an Apple ID and password, and then click Reset Password.
    I don't know if it works.

    You sould be able to sync both ways.  Check your default calendar on your phone by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>scroll down to the calendars section to Default Calendar.  Check to be sure you have selected your mac calendar as your default (and not, for example, On My iPhone).  Then enter a new event on your phone and sync to confirm that it appears on your mac.

  • HT1391 I have a new computer and cannot access my previously purchased music from here. The error message says I need to authorize this computer

    I have a new computer and cannot access my previously purchased music from here. The error message says I need to authorize this computer??

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:
