Good customer service entails that they contact the apple id linked to the device and confirm if it was sold or stolen and help the new owner..
Sorry, but I disagree. It is not the OEM's responsibility to check nor confirm any such thing. it is up to the seller and the buyer, in a private party personal transaction, to ensure that both are satisfied with the terms and conditions of the sale and the item.
You buy a used personal item as is from someone, and it is just that, as is. The responsibility is solely on the two parties making the exchange to ensure that both have gotten what they wanted out of the deal.
No company is going to get involved in any such private party sales or exchanges of items - in the USA at least, it would be a legal minefield for them, if nothing else. Private/personal property sales are just that, private and personal.

Recently I changed my apple id but forgot to change my icloud account. I also have Find My IPhone activated. I tried to delete my ICloud account but first I need to switch off my Find My iPhone, to complicate this I can no longer access prev email account

Recently I changed my apple id but forgot to change my iCloud account.
I also have Find My Iphone activated. My old apple id was an old work email address no longer in use nor can be accessed.
I need to be able to turn off Find My Iphone in order to then delete my iCloud account, I need to include my apple id password to turn off Find my Iphone.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance.

Please go to website address: www.idapple.com Go to the blue tab that reads Manage apple id. From there you will have the option to change personal information of your apple id. The fact that the email address you used to create the apple id is no longer accessible as far as an email address goes will not disable you from changing information as part of the apple id account. However to disable the find my device you will need to be able to access this apple id login. Once you are able to access the old apple id account this then will allow you to access the icloud services by going to www.icloud.com from there you will login with your old apple id once logged into icloud.com and you have chosen the correct device you then can erase all contents of the device which then will disable the find my device.
This is one way of doing it. The other way of course would be for you to login to your icloud on your phone using the old Apple id and from there provided you are able to login with password you then can simply disable the find my device inside the icloud account.
Good luck Friend.

Apple how is possible that the guy stolen my iphone with find my iphone activated get into my apple id account and erase my iphone without my password??

IPhone Activation: Incorrect Apple ID

Hello.
I was updating from iOS 7 to iOS 8, and they asked me for my Apple ID and password. I filled them in and then it told me that the Apple ID "****@hotmail.com" can't be used to unlock this iPhone. It's strange because it is a valid Apple ID and i used it for my iPhone before updating. I even tried to log in on iCloud on my laptop with this ID and it worked. What shall i do?

Sounds like your device has been Activation Locked by another user. Did you purchase this device 2nd hand? If so, you will have to contact the previous owner to get the Activation Lock removed:

Find My iPhone Activation Lock

Hello,
I give my iPhone 4 to a friend, he used it for a month then he give it me back.
I make a restore, but now I'm stuck on the activation lock.
I followed the procedure described here: Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
- I asked him for the password, and we removed the device from it iCloud account.
- but the iPhone is still asking for the activation account when I try to setup the iPhone.
And the strange thing is that the account it's not a valid account (".con")
So how can I activate my iPhone 4 back???
here the screenshot:
I have purchased this iPhone4 some years ago and I still have all the purchase informations!

I have initialized the device and now I'm in the Activate windows, as you can see from the screen above.
My friend told me all possible account passwords and tell me that he activate the iPhone with [email protected] and not [email protected]
And I think that it is not possible to activate an iPhone with the suffix .con, because is not a recognized email address... how is this possible ?
I'm stuck in this strange situation....
can someone help me ?
(I have all the information that this iPhone is not stolen, becauseI purchased it from an authorized reseller.)
Then call the relevant number for your Country and have the detail to hand

Can I get to restore dfu on iphone that has find my iphone active?

Help Can I get to the restore DFU on iphone that has find my iphone active?

You have been caught by the antitheft feature of iOS 7. There is no way to bypass this feature.
You will need the Apple ID and password that was used to register the phone when it was activated. Ideally the owner will cooperate; if not, there are coercive measures that might be applied, such as withholding the value of the phone from a final paycheck. You may also contact Apple Account Security and see if you can convince them to reset the password.
This is why many companies that issue phones to employees register the phone under Apple's Enterprise policy, so the business is the actual owner.

Is it possible to find an IPAd without find my Iphone activated?

One word. NO
Sorry. If you have lost your iPad, immediately go to iTunes and change your Apple ID password. Change your email passwords. Change the passwords you use for any app tied to a credit card.

HT1212 I have forgotten my new passcode on iphone and also have find my iphone activated. what do i do?

Hi . I have forgotten my new passcode on my iphone and also have the find my iphone activated! Is there anything I can do to fix this? I started to restore it on my computer but it won't let me go past the find my iphone activation part. also i am wondering if there is something beginning to go wrong with it as i cannot switch it off and it only gave me one chance with the passcode before it activated? Thanks

sadly you cant, the only option you have is to put into recovery mode and restore device. look for article ht1808 here on apple site

Can I use Find My iPhone with my Apple Watch?

Can I use Find My iPhone with my Apple Watch? Is there an app for it on Apple Watch? Can I add my Apple Watch to my Find My iPhone Account?

No. No. And No.
You can 'ping' your phone and have it play a sound (even if it's muted) from the watch, but it must be in range... That's intended to help you locate it if it's nearby but you forgot where you put it, or it slipped behind a couch cushion or something.

IOS Business - Find my iPhone - Personal/Work Apple ID - What to do...

Hey Apple Discussions,
I work for a big enterprise company here in Canada, and have a couple technical questions. Going forth and giving some back end about myself, I was previously a Genius, and am now a Mac/iOS Support Specialist.
We have various end users here who are currently using business iPhones. those user's would use their Apple ID with iCloud and setup Backup/Photo stream etc.. the works and Find My iPhone.
We all know that iOS 7 brought a new feature to iPhone to prevent theft and lockout (Great Job Apple!!), my question is not how to bypass the password screen when restoring a phone, as if you have the original receipt and proof of purchase and provide that to Apple they can help reset the device without needing the Apple ID (for Business companies only)
But when someone get's terminated/fired/quits the job and their Apple ID is tied to the first/main iCloud account, we cannot always get access to their personal iCloud password, as communication is lost with them, which leaves us with a "temp bricked" phone until we go through the channels, to have it properly reset. This leads to us communicating with HR, and retrieving the POP(Proof of Purchase for that unique device) and going through the channels to have it unlocked.
So with new iPhones we have been distributing with our end users we have been implementing our own Business Apple ID for iCloud, to enable Find my iPhone to prevent this LOCK out process from happening in the future down the road. Needless to say, this no longer allows the end user to use ALL functionality of their personal iCloud account, as when you add a secondary iCloud account you only get basic features, safari,bookmarks,calendars,notes,email and not photo stream, keychain, data, iCloud backup Find my iPhone...
We have looked at the Apple Configurator and they don't offer a solution with that mass distribution iOS Software....
This means the end user cannot restore from an iCloud backup, they cannot use Photo stream (however Box.net, dropbox, mega all have valuable usable Photo storage services).
We get the device belongs to "The Company" but now a days people tend to keep one phone on them ,taking pictures, and we all know how much people MANUALLY backup their own data on iTunes.
Any other solutions would be great where we can keep control of the find my iPhone section, so when we restore a terminated phone it is tied to our Business Apple ID, making it a simple restore, but the end user can still use their personal for all other features as mentioned above, other than the basic (mail,contacts,calendar,bookmarks,notes) and can backup their phone app data, and photos they have taken.
Thanks

We struggle with the same Problem in our company. Another case we would like to have each device configured with our company AppleID is when an employee told us he has lost his iPhone. We have no possibility to use the "Find iPhone" feature even the device belongs to us, because the employee use the iPhone with his own privat AppleID. So we just have to trust and believe the phone is lost, even we have doubts.
We are thinking about to Switch to Android because they have more Enterprise friendly device Management applications even I personally prefer iOS.

How could i find my iphone using my apple id as i didn't configure icloud ID and it is stolen

Then you can't. You must have enabled Find My Phone in order to locate it.
What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

IPhone 5S stolen with iOS 7.0.4, Find My iPhone activated. Any Tips?

Hi all,
My iPhone 5S got stolen at a crowded place in India during a visit to historical place. Resigtered complaint with police, pvoided them all details (IMEI etc) and called cellular service provider. Service provider informed me that my sim got used in another iPhone 5, and they provided me with its IMEI number as well which I forwarded to police as well (could serve a clue). Since the activation lock prevents any new sim to be used in iPhone with iOS7, isn't this feature a demerit in locating a lost iPhone. I want to know if inserting any new sim in my lost iPhone would atleast bring it on celullar network so as to enable tracking.
Please fuel my search with some good tips.
Thanks.
Sivia.
